Mi Familia!

Apparently some Floridians have about had it with trying to wait out the rain.  As the normalcy of the daily deluge has sunk in (we briefly considered changes our posted hours to 9.am to rain) those more hearty folk have excepted it's inevitability and choose not to allow it to interfere with their leisure and healthy activity anymore.  As such, we are starting to once again become the bustling little hub of activity we once were!  That's not to say we couldn't use MORE!  (Hint, hint, nudge, nudge)  Also as a blessed addition, more fodder for the bike mill has come in and we are starting to forge out some real masterpieces!  Thanks to all the folks putting their trust in us for repairs and also thank you for some of the "backyard planters"* we have been able to resurrect.
Other then a healthy work day, and a couple new ones out not much of a much to chat about on the work front. 
Not wishing to jinx us, but I have to say the new school year seems to be  running rather smoothly.  Kaleb, surprisingly has actually been coming home on time, and no bad words from school, so HERE'S HOPING!  Elijah is,  slowly coming to terms with the fact that he NEEDS to find a job as 18 will be hitting in under four months, and employment is the only sanctuary afforded him from....
"the LIST!"
What is the list you might ask?
Well, it is a state issued list of food pantries, clothes donation's, soup kitchen's, assistance programs, job training facilities AND......Homeless shelters.  Of which their are not many of any.  One page to be exact.  This is a paper that we keep on hand to remind the elder children that as of 18, they are adults and by law we are NO longer required to furnish their living requirements or expenses.  Some may consider this harsh.  We consider it "tough love".
We have made it clear for years that if they are continuing their education or working a job and contributing to their upkeep, they can stay as long as they need to.  But as far as loafing on the couch, raiding refrigerator?  No.  I just hope the boy gets his ---- together, quick!
ANYWAY! 
As I finally have rides to work on, gonna jump!  But check out these goodies below and Come on!  Don't be a weenie!  Brave the weather and get out and ride!
