In the evenings, little frogs crawl on our windows and eat bugs.  I found one of them today sitting on a weed.

It took most of the summer, but the frogs have found our fish pond once again.

They're fixing our road... sort of, I guess.  I don't think I've seen this done other places- this small thing lays down a strip of asphalt about 3 foot wide.  They ran it along the edge of our road, and are coming back and going over some of the worst parts- which in some places, is the entire width of the road.  This leaves us wondering how much cheaper this is compared to resurfacing the road properly- and how much longer it will be before our road gets repaved.

My younger son started his senior year of high school today.

We ate out tonight at Rockne's.

We went to the school's open house today.  This is her math classroom.  She is taking algebra.

My daughter is the first of us to head back to school.

My husband took the slate off a pool table.  This is what the inside looks like.

This is our outdoor cat.

We went to the Cleveland Zoo.  They're having a special show now with 'paper' lanterns.  There are a lot of these light-up things all over the zoo (they're made from material rather than paper).  We weren't there at night, but saw them during the day.  My favorite was this dragon.

August 8, 2019

The boys got a fire going so we could make s'mores.

August 7, 2019

We went bowling today.  I suspect that the kids' favorite part might be the snacks.

This was the tractor I designed in school and got 3D printed.  One fender fell off, but sooner or later we'll get it glued back on.

August 5, 2019

We went to Fun N Stuff for games and go-carts.

Our SUV broke down on vacation.  We only got 2 hours out, patched it and came back home.  Vacation cancelled.
