Swift moving Sunday

[Kathryn-in-Canada]

It is extremely windy here so weather is moving through swiftly.

Big squall, couldn't see downtown and the island was faint, but ds spotted a break in the clouds and 10 minutes later it is bright sunshine.

But the wind is enough to blow the block glass candle holder off the table (so that has been brought in for the season) and the chairs are banging away (but staying in place.)

Inside I'm not moving too switfly but am hoping to inspire myself.

Slept poorly again. Too late to bed, too much left undone.

Ds came at 7:50 and helped me reset the table to a good size. Now only 1 chair is extra in the corner, freeing up room for the high chair.

The dishwasher is emptied and all the cutlery and glassware is away. I still have a few plates to put away.

Everything is a 1 - 3 minute chore, it is just that I have about 60 - 90 of them to do!

Ds picked up a small box that held some of my dad's scale rulers (for woodworking.) Ds is into woodworking now and immediately knew what they were and appreciated the craftsmanship of the rulers as well as the box. He'd like to start building small boxes like that which is why he picked it up in the first place. I immediately grabbed another box of fine tools and handed that to him and he oohed and ahhed over them.

He was only 15 when his grandfather died so hadn't yet discovered his passion for building things with his hands. So most of my father's and grandfather's tools were sold in the estate sale but we have a few small things like these fine brass drafting tools and so ds will have them now.

I still haven't s2s. I need to be at the retirement home by 1:40 and should have visited my senior friend by then. Aside from that, I'll just keeping working here. I couldn't decide about church but the fabulous time I had with ds made up my mind that going to church wasn't what I needed to feed my soul today.

We have Tropical storm/depression remnants moving through here today and have a brunch to go to in about 1.5 hrs. Then dh is going to graveside funeral - what a day for a graveside funeral.

I'm trying to decide what to make for supper here - soup would be nice, preferably if I didn't need a grocery stop today in the rain but I don't know about that.

Hi!

Dh and I woke up before the sun rose. I immediately got up and went outside and took down both wind chimes. I think they are down until next spring now. It didn't help that we had the windows open to the backyard.

I came back in, did some cross stitching and kept yawning, so I went back to bed and slept another 4 hours.

[Kathryn-in-Canada]

Almost everything is done except a few dishes to go in the china cabinet and then to wash down dgs high chair.

Thank heavens I kept the carpet sweeper because at 11 last night I couldn't run the vacuum but I needed to clean up the food on the floor so I could move around the table to get the table cloth off.

I'm s2s but still have to dry and style my hair.

Just talked to dh on the phone and then over Skype. He wanted to show me the view from his hotel room which is pretty nice.
