Hi, My Name Is Eileen and This Is What I've Been Doing! (Word Post)

Diana @ Welcome To My World actually gave me that post title!
And I'm still having issues with Blogger, it seems a lot of my problems with my posts have to do with trying to add pictures. So until this is resolved I will be doing either a 'word' post or a 'picture' post, but not together.
So this is going to be a very boring post without pictures, in a few days I will post some pictures that should have been in this post. Ugh! This is annoying!
And it seems the only way I can visit most of you is to 'google' you, or try to get to you from Facebook, because when I click on your blogs on my sidebar I only get an error message.
I do have another blog that I used to do sort of 'home improvement' projects or Tablescapes, things along those lines that I think is still working okay, so if I can't get one of my computer whiz family members to fix 'Umma's World' I may have to switch and make 'Stick Close To Home' my personal blog.
Anyway, I will try to get my Summer into as few words as possible, it was lots of fun, lots of HOT, lots of dentist appointments for gum surgery (yuck!), not feeling well in the beginning of the summer (had to miss out on some fun plans the first few weeks such as a class reunion), feeling much better towards the end, and I even kept a promise to myself to visit my doctor for a check up. But I still haven't followed up on any of the tests that I'm supposed to get and my doctor knows how I am so he asked if he could speak to my husband, and Ray now has the job of making sure that I actually do make appointments and KEEP them this time! (Psst, I haven't made even one appointment yet).

Okay, here's some of the fun with pictures to follow later this week:
Family picnic in June where we celebrated my sister Marybeth's 60th Birthday! Family near and far came and it was wonderful!
We went to the beach a few times, we spent lots of time out back in the pool, I had lots of fun with the grandkids outside, I had visits with friends and relatives, some barbeque/pool parties at my sister-in-law Susie's house, Jayden lost his first tooth (in the pool!), we visited lots of parks in the neighborhood, Ray's tomatoes did not do well at all this year, but Jayden's little cherry tomatoes in the pot out back did very well (he planted them in school from seeds taken from inside a tomato and he brought the tiny plant home in a tiny paper cup). I'm trying to eat healthier (a more Mediterranean diet), and in about two minutes I will be leaving to go on a bike ride with my sister Diane.
Oh, and Jayden's first full day of Kindergarten is today (that is going to feel weird after having his company the whole Summer). So far he loves it, his teacher is a doll and we all love her!
And we got some other nice news over the Summer that I will tell you all about in a few weeks!

My goodness, this post is so blah without pictures!
Okay, I will be 'googling' all of you and trying to visit with you later today.
I've missed you all so much!
Love to you all!
