Hot time, summer in the city...

...back of my neck getting dirty and gritty! Yes, it has been so hot lately. And dry.  We finally got about 3 days of rain.  It has been so good.  So yesterday in between the showers, I got my hands dirty and pulled weeds. It is so hard to do from the clay when it is dry.

I can't believe it has been 3 months since I posted anything.  Big news...

Old Business:

  • Small pile of memorabilia
  • Reading - slow, but consistent. I can be happy with that.
  • Trail Guide - same, slow but doing it.
  • Magazines - same.
  • Devotionals - all over the place!
  • Have now found 3 therapists, what the heck!  LOL 2 in Wabash, 1 in Marion. So there will be more on that, but not until it is official!
  • Interior done! Need to hang lights and wall cabinets, but soon!
  • Heart and Soul going at 50-75%, same as restaurant
  • Water softener is IN!
  • Weeding, weeding, weeding. But it does get better each year
  • Church work holding steady. We have in-person services now, but no singing or bulletin
  • Social media back to being a flop. Hoping one of the co-workers will be able to help
  • 016 helped out so much! He weeded, he dug holes, he painted, he cleaned, he wrote, cut up cards, posted, all sorts of things! And then he got a job at Wendy's. And now I am sad!
  • Had to quarantine after test. Procedure went well. 2 week recovery
  • Delivered all the Mother's Day flowers. Everyone loved them.
  • Still have flowers to plant
  • Took a vacation over July 4. Gadget and I went canoeing and camping with 2 other couples. Don't worry, we were able to maintain plenty of distance and be smart about it.
  • 019 got an internship at the Children's Museum, and has really enjoyed that.
  • Their grampa passed away in early May, so they've been busy helping their dad clean the house.
  • 016 had prom this past Friday with his girlfriend
New Business:
  • Added additional bracing, and stained, old sections of the fence to lay down as a deck extension of my patio. Really like this. Had to buy a pressure washer. Something else 016 did. It looks great! Now to landscape around it.
  • Just keep on keeping on. Trying to pace, and flow, and just be. It seems so counter-cultural. Yet so many agree with me. So how do we make it the norm?
  • Waiting on estimate to "fix" bedroom closets
  • 016 has drawn out what he wants for his, I think he and I can do together.
  • Waiting to get moved back into garage for both of those. Need room to put things.
