What's Happening With This Blog?

Since I joined Facebook, I haven't had much of a chance to do anything here on my personal blog. Thanks, Brian, for letting me know that it needs to be updated.

What's new?

- Mom left Fort Myers Beach a few weeks ago with Deb and Nanc to get back settled in South Bend.

- The shuttle lifted off yesterday to service the Hubble Space Telescope. We can see the launch if it's a clear day, but too many clouds yesterday to see it before it started banking out over the Atlantic Ocean. The shuttle fleet is supposed to be retired next year, and the new generation of space vehicles is in development now. It's called the Orion, and it's a larger version of Apollo instead of a airplane-type vehicle like the space shuttle. See it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)

- As it is this time of year before the summer rains and t-storms kick in every day, it's hot as blazes and just as dry. Thunderstorms are predicted to start this week. Good thing because everything is so dry and brown.

- Liesl, our cocker spaniel, is such a joy to live with. Below is her Mother's Day greeting to my mom in Indiana.
