The weekend is here! And it looks wet with another rainy day here in Magic City. Last week was a very disappointing week for me with our eHow venture. So far we have posted 14 articles and our views are way up over what they were at the beginning of the week, our earnings are stalled at still $11.52. A fellow eHow-er told me not to expect much in earnings until we get over 50 articles posted so we need to keep writing, only 36 to go!
Exciting news here that we received around 6 this morning. Our daughter Jessica, who has been expecting her first child at the end of August called and told us she had gone into labor early this morning. Wow!! We can't wait to see baby Elliot, it seemed like he would never get here. So far she is still at home with her husband Andre, counting and timing contractions and anxiously waiting for the hurried journey to the hospital for delivery.
No new garden news and it is to wet to go check it since it is mosquito land out there now. I did notice my watermelon plant I planted in spring has finally decided to take off. Maybe we will get one home grown watermelon before the end of the season, if we can keep the chipmunks and ground hogs away from it.
One of my favorite trains here in Roanoke is finally off to be restored at our Transportation Museum here. This train has been sitting in the woods for so long, hiding behind an old scrap metal and recycling center that has been closed for years. I stopped several times to visit it and take pictures when I first discovered it shortly after we moved here. I really enjoy exploring old buildings and trains and towns. It's like finding a piece of history, very exciting I think!
