May 12 2022 Update

I hope your week has been awesome.  It has been a busy week for me.  Julie has been at her mom's house most of the week helping after her dad's funeral on Saturday, so it has been me and Molly at home for the most part.  I have been busy working on a project which will be before the City Council next week - more details on that in Monday's daily update.  And last night, I attended my granddaughter's end of year high school band concert in Spanish Fork.

I hope you have a nice weekend.  I know I have a ton of yard and garden work to catch up on.  And I suspect my neighbors will be excited to see me finally mowing my lawn!
