Just Checking In

Home sick for two days but just woke up and seem to feel better. Sad to say, but that is the only news I have. I was supposed to go out to dinner tonight with a group from work but I guess I will have to pass. This weekend begins dorm move in at MSU so things will be crazy on the roads and in the stores.

John has started the Fall semester and I think he is moving into an apartment the first of September. I'm not sure if Wiggles is moving too as John thinks she might be happier staying here than spending her days alone in a small apartment. She climbs all over the basement and works pretty good as a dust rag. Sometimes when I am in the basement she will suddenly drop from the rafters just like a bat. She and Alan spend a lot of time watching the wildlife in the yard but they have had to cut back on how much food gets put out because we have had two raccoons visiting the feeder every night.

Mom/Gram did go see her doctor after this last incident and will be having some tests done beginning with a colonoscopy. I will be there to take her and hang out in Monroe for a couple of days. Looking forward to eating at Jay's.

I am close to having a pre-Thanksgiving trip to California booked. I am really excited to see where Kate and Jeremy live. I have been to California once and I only saw Sacramento.

Take care everyone and keep safe.

Getting the Fam on Board

Hey Mom and Lee, so, it is pretty clear that the three of us must not be the most exciting Tomkinsons since there hasn't been much blog action lately.  I think I'll make another attempt to get everyone else to sign on and start posting.  Can you email me the email addresses of the cousins?  I'll send out another round of blog invitations and see if we can increase the action on here.

Does this thing still work?

Just thought I'd see what's happening. It looks pretty quiet.

I did a bike tour today, riding around 60 miles. The distance wasn't all that great except for the fact I haven't been on the bike for a couple of weeks and was a bit out of shape. I'm hoping to do a hundred mile ride next month, so I guess I better get some more seat time.
