Catching up, not so easy

That's right, catching up on a blog is not easy to do when you have not done it in a while.  Oh, well, procrastination just may be my middle name!  
We are having a great time here in NY state working at the KOA again and spending time with Chris and his family.  The grandchildren are growing like weeds and the new baby that Acacia is carrying seems to be growing and making his presence known more each day.  We have all decided that Sunday afternoons and Sunday dinners are our family time.  Chris does some awesome things on the grill - this past Sunday he grilled rib eyes and corn on the cob.  It is always so great to spend time together so baloney sandwiches would be fine, too.  LOL!!
Acacia, Curtis, Connor, McKenzie, and I attended the opening night here in Rochester of "Walk With Dinosaurs" at the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Arena.  Even though I firmly disagree with the evolution theory it was espousing, the mechanics and portrayals of the dinos was amazing.  They are done in life size proportions with the dino bones that have been found in digs.  They are very life like and are incredible to watch.  The children were enthralled with them as were we.  McKenzie was not a willing member of the audience until she realized that they were merely "costumes" moving via parade type cars with drivers.  Chris missed it as he was on a trip for work.
This past weekend we celebrated Curtis' 62nd birthday amid working our usual schedules.  His birthday was Saturday so I had birthday cake and ice cream for him and we were joined by about 18 of the staff and seasonal campers.  One of the couples who live in the campground full time have a nice patio with flowers, tiki torches and a fire ring.  They graciously let us use their area to have the gathering... it was very nice and we all celebrated with him.  And to think that a mere 13 years ago he was battling cancer!!  I am so thankful that the Lord healed him and we are able to live out his dream of full time rving.
So far we have not had much heat here.  It seems to really be staying cool this year, though I realize it is only June.  But it is nice and very enjoyable, however, the mosquitoes are out again in force and they always manage to find me!!!  Grrrr!!!  Hateful little things!!!
Shelby, one of our co-workers, is having cataract surgery next week so our schedule will be changing for a few days.  He is really in need of it but should be back on top of things in a few days.  This is the second summer we have worked with Shelby and his wife, Ruth.  They are very delightful Southern folk from Louisiana and lots of fun to work and visit with.
I will try to stay more current, but I don't make promises I can't keep!
