Mon.-Let's see. Did lots of things today. Highlight was homeschool softball in the eve. The clouds were kicking up gray menacing mountains of moisture and suddenly, we had to run for cover. It was great fun. After 15 minutes of a deluge the game was called off and some of us headed over to Cook Out and continued our visiting there. Sat with the some of Sarah's family. Nissi invited me to come sit with them. So sweet. Came home and cut up the old meat that had been cooking all day and Susan and I bagged it for Lucy.
Tues.-Everyone home today working on different projects. Freeman and Phil working on house plans, Michael studying down at the river had a snapping turtle visit him, Susan finishing up school and working at Happy Valley, Philip working at Guild's, Boyers working on electricity in barn. I worked on making supper in the morning so I could just put it together quickly when Mom and Dad came. Ham loaf, mashed potatoes with sauteed spinach and herbs mixed in, glazed carrots, salad, and cole slaw. Helped Susan finish up history work-reviewed government with her. She got her final science grade in mail, and took achievement tests. School is officially finished for this year. She wants to keep on going through the summer so I ordered chemistry and math for next year and she'll start at it once it comes. Mom and Dad came for supper and then went to see Freeman and Alli's property. Mom and Dad will be going back to Pa. in the morning.
Wed.-Another busy day on the farm. Chimney being rebuilt. Weed-whacking. Sorting of scrap metal. Hay raking. Shop organizing. Dr. Forand for Susan and I. Cooking meat down for Lucy food. Michael to Liberty for aviation test. Did well on his test. 8 hours of all kinds of testing. He flew over Susan and Philip while they were mowing and working outside. Tired. Ate too much ice cream these past few days.
Thurs.-Got so much done today. Everybody but Philip working around here. Cleaning barns and yard. Susan worked on food prep, cleaned her room, etc. I did some wash, made 2 chickens, green beans, potatoes, corn, etc. to have some food on hand. Cleaned the kitchen and bedroom. Spent too much time on face book. No ball tonight due to rain. Thinking about having volleyball here after softball is over so we can keep getting together with these wonderful people. Ready for an early bedtime. Tomorrow eve. is grad at New Life.
Fri.-Another busy day on the farm working in the rain for those outside. Went to town to run some errands and stopped in to visit Judy and Tom. Then went to New Life to see Kelly and Charity graduate and to hear their excellent speeches. Pastor Frank gave the commencement address: 'Be quick to face your fears. Be quick to forget your failures. Be quick to follow your faith.' Excellent and timely for many.
Sat.-Spent the day with Steve and Ruth Fisher and Steve M.
Sun.-Busy day with church, Fishers, and meeting in afternoon and eve. with the Fishers. There were 20 people in our living room listening to them share and looking at a slide show. Had supper outside afterwards. Philip was having a party too so there were many people on the farm.
