We were away the last week of March. A lovely time with the whole family. Ds and ddil came and stayed at dd place. We stayed with fil and went back and forth giving the 2 couples a chance to get to know each other. And include fil more. Its hard he's almost an hour from dd. So close yet he isn't up to driving much and getting out. He is 84. We did games. Shopping. Cooking. Family time. Helped dd and dsil pick out a new car for their growing family. And most of all just Watching Lil j get to know his auntie and uncle and great grandfather. Other uncles came too for short stretches. It was so good.
Back home... back to work. Back to life. Dad is renovating. Changing out flooring in his house. We tried to tell him not to bother but to no avail. Get that done and I can go do a little cleaning. He canceled that help. Mom is still ok. Slowly losing strength and little bits of decline. But still ok.
I've been doing extra music. Next week is festival of the arts that I have not been involved in since high school. Band is playing. 3 songs. Then I agreed to accompany the choir with a descant flute part for one song. Oh and we had a baptism again at church. 5 people. And now a coming funeral. This weekend which means tech. Baking something. And a freezer meal for the man and his special needs son.
What did I get myself into... next week could be out almost every night. Today is bible study. I said no to a trip to the city with dad. Too much. I need to do some laundry of couch covers today...
. And just general straighten. And music prep. And some downtime. Anyway I was Mia for a while now I have left you a novel...
Going to go shower and then make a list.
Wear sunscreen
