summer

(pictures are not necessarily in chronological order)

We have had a houseful this summer: my mom, Glen, Eric, Hannah, Alex, and me. Now Hannah has moved to Reno, Alex just went back to college, and my mom just went back to Vegas. So things have quieted down a bit.

We had a house full of projects this summer. Glen and Hannah have been renovating many of the rooms. 

Glen's helping Hannah by holding down the counter so it can be screwed down
whether or not he might have been napping is beside the point.
 
They look great and it is so wonderful to have all that storage!

the tub in the back bathroom was torn out

new tub installed and the walls repainted--countertops will happen at some point

In May, my foot was finally operated on. My foot still doesn't feel 100% but I'm still hopeful. The doctor has another treatment he'll try if it's not better by December.

the doctor draws pictures on the bandage so he can tell if you took it off

Glen and I attended the Dragon Lights Festival in Reno.



Glen retired for the 2nd time in June. And then unretired 2 days before school started in August.  He is teaching 3 blocks of a "Teachers and Training" class for high school students who are interested in secondary education as a career. This is part time (only Mondays and Wednesdays) and only for this semester. Another teacher will take over in January.


Alex and Ben hosted a Super Smash Brothers tournament at the old Fallon theatre. They had a pretty good turn out and had a good time. 


Glen and I have been riding our bikes in the mornings. It's a gorgeous time of the day!



we're your friends, we're your friends, we're your friends till the bitter end...


And, of course, we've been playing lots of games.

I started taking the pottery studio class again. Yay! I made this bowl last December and finally got to glaze it.

Glen took Dad on the Fallon Community Theatre's float for the Labor Day parade.
