he kids took their final swimming lesson at the Corvallis swimming pool yesterday. The whole environment in that town tends to be very stifling so, even if we stay in Albany, we probably will not return to Corvallis for swimming lessons. Both of the kids did great and are getting to be better swimmers every day.
I mowed the lawn yesterday and it looks great. I hope we get some people coming by over the Fourth of July weekend to look at the house so we can get the thing sold. I am planning to find a real estate agent on Wednesday of next week if we do not have any interest in the house yet. Dad is working on a universal corner machine for Quality Corners, but hopefully he will be able to get that finished so that he can come up to Albany to pour the rest of our patio next week.
The kids played with Hannah, Jacob, and Haley in the swimming pool at their house yesterday after they finished their swimming lesson. The family there purports to be christian, but are somewhat arrogant and do not seem to want to teach their kids how to act appropriately. Oh well, Kelly and Christian need to learn how to deal with people like that. After they finished playing they came back and did their Marvis Beacon practice interspersed with the fifteen minutes I let them have on the Neopets website that they really like.
Lorena cooked up ribs from the half cow that Steve Davison sold to us. We really need to learn how to cook ribs better on our new grill. I suppose I should read up on it a little more. After dinner we all went up stairs. Lorena checked her email, I did 40 minutes on the Nordic Track, and we all listened to The Hobbit for about an hour. It is a great story and I am planning to get the Lord of the Rings trilogy on cassettes after we finish The Hobbit.
