Middle America's Worldview

My family returns tomorrow and I am glad for it. The wife and kids been gone all week, as of last Friday.

The time away, allowed me to get some home projects done, as well as catch up on some guy movies. Yet, I am glad to see them returning.

I guess the most difficult of the home projects was actually the weatherstripping in the door. Seems, I could never find the exact same fit as the builders of the home. I managed to rig something up, but that little gem took 3 trips.

The one project I kept putting off was redoing the cement rings around the trees. I don't mind yardwork, but when its still 90 degrees after 9 p.m., its a bit of a pain. I mowed our yard before work the other morning around 6:30 a.m., just to hit it before the heat was up. It's been ranging anywhere from 101 to 107, not counting the index around here lately.

All in all, I managed to do the most of the list with some additional items I had not originally planned for. So, I hope the family will be satisfied.
