What's fun for you this Friday. Or not.
Checking in Safe the storm passed with out much but some wind and a bit of rain.
We did hear thunder and see some lightening.
Got a pen pal letter out to the mail box.
I have power inner-net windows are open to air out the stuffiness.

I'm up in the nite could not sleep - got to see the full moon that was fun.
Got the cushions etc. out of the dining room I'd pulled in for storm prep. put back
out on the deck and patio. The other lawn furniture will be done after daylite happens.

Not fun category clean under mower. Some paperwork possibility ack not sure about pursuing that.
I'm mulling that over part of the reason for being up could not sleep.

Knitted a few rows.
Had bfast.
Walked also.

Good morning

My day is off to a smooth start. DH is sitll sleeping, DS17 & DD15 are at work. I just typed DD14 and had to backspace because as of today she is DD15.

We had another full night of teenager antics. A friend of GF16 had a flat tire in the city last night and she didn't have a spare. All the stores were closed so couldn't buy another tire or get it repaired. Long story short....DS17 borrowed a diesel pickup & car hauler trailer to go load the vehicle and haul it back. DS17 told me this morning that it was stressful driving in city traffic and having to reduce speed on the way home with everyone zooming around them. He got off the interstate and drove the back roads. All is well that ends well.

Project of the day...write checks for the random bills that have shown up lately and get them into the mail. It is rare that we write checks but some places don't have online payment options. Without looking I would guess we write less than 10 checks a year (beside the monthly water bill). ANYway, it is rare these random bills that need checks happen and is easily overlooked. I am holding myself accountable to get it done.

Hi everybody!

I'm tidying up in the library and the pantry this morning. At first I was doing quiet things while dh slept. Now he is up and has even cooked himself some eggs! I also finally put a large bag beside my desk so I could toss some stuff into it. Lots of discoloured old lined paper. I wanted to donate it, but I noticed that the bottom of all that paper had to be faded from the sun for the past 10 years of being piled there.

I also loaded the dishwasher. Now last night's pot is soaking in the sink.

I went out for a walk around the back yard. I tracked in a bunch of damp grass, so I swept that up and returned it to the yard.

PSW will be here in less than an hour.

[Twins' Mom]

Checking in from Fort Wayne. I had breakfast this am with two of my certification accountability group friends. It was nice to hear that one “isn’t feeling it either. She only decided to come at the last minute when she was notified that she was receiving an award.

Ai 1:30 I’m meeting up with a young genealogist that wanted to meet me last year. We share a surname and the East Tennessee area but don’t think we’re related. I’ve done a lot of research in one of his counties. At two I’m taking the newly published revision of a book to a book signing for a superstar genealogical lecturer and write to get it signed by the author. I’ve taken classes from him several times. Not sure what I’ll do the rest of the day. One of 2:30 sessions is appealing. Might go to library after that.

Twins - it is good to see your Ci.

As boring as it might seem, I can't resist the desire for making another pot of my favorite soup. I keep thinking that I will grow tired of it, but as soon as I finish all the servings from previous batch, I immediately want more. The ingredients are similar but never the same as previous batch. This pot of soup is packed with 8 kinds of protein and 7 different vegetables.

DH has enjoyed his morning entertaining a couple of friends that stopped by. They see DH sitting in front of the house which prompts them to stop and sit with him awhile.
