Wow, last summer was so much fun, but this one is just boring. We did so much last year. This year we seem to be stuck in the house and bored out of our minds. I want to go out on the river and camp so bad, but the boat motor is not working so we can’t. This really is a bad summer. My mom just went into the hospital for radiation treatments and isn’t feeling very well as a result either. Stress seems to be the main menu this year. I really hope that things will quiet down and we can relax a bit. Perhaps I will make another family night soon. It’s about the only thing I can do to break the monotony.
