I'd like to congratulate Kris and Amy on the birth of their newest son, Karsten George Cannode.
I know those two little boys are going to bring so much joy to your lives.
As for us in HOT, humid South Carolina, everyone is pretty much drenched by the end of the day. And it's not from rain always. However, we have had a lot of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoons. Usually just makes more puddles and more humidity. But we're surviving. I wish I could bottle this stuff called "perspiration". I truly believe that's why Southern Belle's look like they are glowing. It's Charleston Humidity. Ugh! How can you possibly get wrinkles if you're constantly drenched? Gene went to Arthur Wells' a few Saturdays ago and got this old riding mower that he had only seen once back in the late 80s or early 90s. Anyway...he learned that A.W. still had it and asked if he was going to do anything with it. When he learned that it was almost junked, he asked for it. Well, it's ours now. And he's been working on restoring it to its original self. New tires, a new paint job. Next a little tweaking on the engine to get it going again.
And Ouila! It will be like new. Allen (our son) did some research on it and found it's about 42 years old. They were pretty standard. It's going to be a beauty when it's finished. So I can't post any pictures yet. Have to wait for the unveiling. So be on the lookout for pics. The annual Antique Tractor and Engine show will be held at Santee Cooper/Berkeley County Park in November. It just may be a big focus this year. Of course, the Spirit of Jedburg is always on display and putts around the park during the weekend event. Again, I will post pictures of this too. Just wanted you to know that I have not forgotten everyone. Take care. Enjoy reading everyone's blogs.
