The temperatures have been mostly cool up here. Most days I am wearing a jacket or sweatshirt. We’ve had about three days where we had to close up the windows and turn on the air conditioner, but most of the time we’ve just had the windows open. It is kind of nice, but I’d like it a bit warmer. You know, warm enough to wear a t-shirt with no jacket. I guess those days are coming, but there isn’t enough of them before it gets cold again up here. I’m thinking that it may not be worth it to put winter stuff away. We did put a bunch of the girls heavy sweaters in a bag, but it’s not been put up into the attic.
Now on to a totally different subject:
We have a few different people coming up to visit us here and there this summer. First, we had an old college buddy of mine from Lincoln Memorial University come up. Martin came last week and we took him into Chicago. He got his first train ride and his first time in a big city. He seemed to enjoy it. The kids loved showing him the Bean in Millennium Park. Since it is right near the train station, they like to go up to it every time we go into Chicago. We also took him up by the riverside and he got to see some different places where “The Dark Knight” were filmed. When we came back to our house, Jeremy had the grill going and so we had a yummy dinner. We used skype to talk to a friend of ours who is currently in NY and then somehow we got the kids into bed and talked a little while before we went to sleep ourselves. In the morning, James made him an egg for breakfast before he headed out.
Our next visitor is coming in two weeks. Michelle will be up here for a little while. In July, we go to a family reunion for the second weekend. We are looking forward to that quite a bit. August will bring Jeremy’s brother, Andrew Read, and we’ll have VBS during that month. Another friend, Angie, will hopefully be coming in the fall.
We love having friends and family come visit.
