What a night! I decided to head outside in the 95 degree heat and humidity tonight and water my flower gardens. Of course, I had 3 little imps following me around and helping a little while I was out there. I walked by our Propane tank a few times and kept thinking that I smelled gas. I walked over to it several times and could hear a hissing noise. I have never heard a hissing noise coming from the propane tank so I thought it was weird. My hubby was out helping a friend move , so i called him and asked "does the propane tank normally Hiss?" He said he didnt think so and to either call our Friend who works for the propane co or to call the propane co. Our friend was not home and I could not reach him by cell, so I called the Co. They told me I should evacuate the house and stand far away from the "leak" area. So trying not to panic my kids I called them up from the family room and told them what was up and that we needed to go play outside for a while. The propane man came and long story short....said i made a good call..our tank was leaking, probably out a weld or something. He first checked the regulator and he could still hear the leak so he capped the line and took our tank. He just left with it!
Thank the Lord I noticed when I did. The guy asked if we needed a tank right away and i told him I wasnt planning on needing my vermont castings stove until at least OCtober...He laughed and said well, I wont tell the office that because they wont get you a new tank until November!!
Sighhhhh.

Lots of stuff going on!
Just thought I would give a brief ( maybe not) description of the last few weeks at the Dub-Ya house....
The boys got out of school the 9th and we headed "up North" for a family reunion ( my side) in Lancaster that weekend...that was kind of cool for me anyway to see all kinds of people I had not seen in years. ( L dub didn't find it that fun)
The week after school got out the school board had a meeting and because of a lot of unpaid tuition, and the lack of students signed up for next school year, they have decided to close SENHCA for 2007/2008 . I am very sad about this. The school had been in existance for 48 years. I understand that at one point there were 300 + students. Only 38 kids were signed up for next year :( very sad....as there is no other school in the area that I would be interested in sending by kids too...partly because other school are alot more $$ and for other reasons too. So, we will be registering our boys at Barrington Elementary for next year. I am having a little anxiety about "public school" but I don't know why, since I went to "public school "my whole childhood. I have heard that the schools in town are good. I guess if something happens..then we can always pull them out and try something else. I am getting alot of "why not try homeschooling?" We just do not think that is for our family at this point anyway. Z dub will be in kindergarten and C Dub in 4th grade. Pray for them!
Last saturday we celebrated N Dubs 2nd b day...I cannot believe he is 2 already!! I will get some pictures up soon. His real B day is this friday the 29th.
Last night we went with a group from church to a Fisher CAts/Seadogs game..that was really fun with fireworks at the end fo the game.
Today I went with a friend to Shorts sands.....water is about 50 air 96....
We will head to the lake tom. with some other friends...
Oh ya...Friday is C dub s cardiologist appt ...pray for that please.
Also pray for my step nephew.. he was born Sat ...11 lbs 13 oz at Dartmouth..due to complications..he was born with a hole in his palate and is being tube fed.
I think that is about it for the month of June....
July is around the corner and we have a camping trip planned and a few other things going on!
Good night!

Schools out for summer!!
It is officially summer vacation here at our house. The last day of school was this past Friday.
I went in for the Awards Chapel, Caleb got 3 awards, one for Bible memory, one for improved work habits and the last one for muscular endurance in PE. His report card was very good, he made honor roll for the quarter and also for his yearly average.
We are looking forward to 2 camping trips( one with kids and one without kids) and of course a week of VBT at Church. We will also be going to a Fishercats Baseball game. Daddy has been trying to get the pool up, but as of tonight it still has a hole somewhere. My cucumber plants are growing and we are excited about the blueberry plants too! Have a great summer!
