This and That

 I have such a long list of things to tell you about so I'll just get right to it.
 
A month or so ago Chuck saw his dermatologist for his regular 6 month check up and on the top of his head they found what they called, 'a rough spot.' Did I already tell you this? Well anyway, they said it was basil cell carcinoma. They did a scrape biopsy and found it to be benign, thank goodness! They got it all, it's no longer an issue so we just keep watching his scalp... and praying.
 
Sharaya started back to work today, finishing up at her old position before beginning her new job.  She worked at a middle school and found out in May I think, that due to budget cuts her job was being eliminated. She was able to secure a different job in the same district (so Ally can continue at the same school she was at last year) in their transportation department. She thrived at her old position, she was so good at her job and everyone loved her! I know she's going to excel at this new one too. Her solid work ethic, creative ideas and willingness to go above and beyond what's expected of her, it won't be long before people are loving her at the new job!
 
Diana, Peter and Adelaide are coming out here the end of this month and we are so excited! Adelaide is crawling already, she's just growing so fast! I don't think I ever shared pictures of our trip to Seaside Heights at the Jersey Shore back in June. We did a little shopping, got something to eat - we actually tried fried oreos, have you ever had one? Really good, but oooh, so sweet. One was plenty! It was warm out, but it was so pretty there.
 



 
There's more to tell you but it's time to go fix dinner. I hope you're all having a great summer. Even though it seems to be flying by!

That is great news on the spot on top of Chucks head. That is good news on Sharaya and Ally. Enjoy your time with Deana, Peter and Adelaide. That's going to be so much fun. Take care.

I want to get to visit the Jersey Shore. Maybe next summer. Mini went in June to see her college friends. She had a blast. Of course. I can't believe the baby is already crawling. Have a wonderful visit with everyone. What a relief that Chuck's skin issue isn't cancer.

Hooray for those visitors who are coming the end of the month. Hooray, too, that you got a good report about Chuck's scalp. August seems to be flying...

Look at that baby girl. Growing too fast. So glad they are coming out to see you guys. Sure enjoyed the picture of the Jersey shore, the boardwalk, bath houses, beach. Have never tried a fried Oreo but I bet they are sinfully delicious. Thankful your husband's 'rough spot' wasn't cancer. That must have been a scare.
