Fall Weather is closing in on us!
It is chilly outside. The heat even came on this morning so I had to run around closing windows and taking out window fans. Now, if I can just get Dan to find time to take the swamp cooler out!
This week is still hectic. Church was great last night. I have skating today and then I can come home for a little rest. Dan was gone first things this morning for a Men's breakfast at 7:30 am.
I'm getting ready to leave shortly to head for the rink. The house is a mess, I hope when things settle down I feel well enough to finish some cleaning projects and get some started.
Dan's sister, Nancy, found me some of my caffeine free coco and sent it to me, so now with this cold weather I am sittin' pretty and toasty warm!
The hornets appear to be totally gone. If I think about I will take a picture of that impressive hole. I never even new hornets would go in the ground and build nests!
I've been so amazed at the sudden rapid growth of businesses and housing and traffic to go along with it. Casper isn't the quiet little town anymore. Good Grief, I find myself planning alternate routes going home at 5pm so I'm not stuck in traffic, never use to happen!
Just in the last few months we have gotten or in the process of building: Petco, Staples, Office Depot (we've had an Office Max for years), Fire Rock Grill, Johnny J's Diner, Starbuck's, our second Walmart, possibly a Menards (they want to build next to our Home Depot), and several new banks and credit unions. (I'm always joking that Casper now has more banks/credit unions than it has bars.) They are building new roads, larger roads and adding more and more traffic lights. At this rate we'll not have any traffic flow as Casper is notorious for not synchronizing their traffic lights. I always liked that about Bloomington and Pekin, once you hit a green light, you could generally flow through each block as the lights would continue to change to green, hence you have traffic flow.
This week a Missionary to Alaska, that our church supports, was here visiting for our Missions Conference. One of his goals is to add a boat ministry. There are so many small fishing towns, logging towns and etc that are only accessable by plane or boat. Dan and I thought that was soooo cool. The guy did mention that one had to be careful when visiting those logging camps and other camp communities as often people are in those out-of-the-way places for only one reason, they are hiding out from the law...
Time to go skate!
