Mon.-Yesterday, Emma sang a song with her Daddy at their church in CT in honor of Father's Day. It was a beautiful worship song and her voice was flawless. She sang it an octave higher than how she practiced it but it was beautiful. Her mother, Lindsay, sent it to me. It will be the first of many like it, I'm sure. Today I did some wash and putzed around. The previous week and weeks have caught up with me and I am tired. Went to homeschool softball and were thundered and black clouded out. Some of us rushed Cook Out and were there when the rains came and came. I sat at a table with other mothers and we had a sweet time of fellowship.
Tues.-Another day of putzing around. Got some plants from Jeanne and John and planted them along the bank of the lane. Made quiches with scrapple as a bottom base. Not sure if they'll get eaten. Susan went to Bible Study a distance away, stopping for a friend and taking her along. Philip went to play volleyball. Michael and I watched Crocodile Dundee 2 and went to bed early. Phil went out to a meeting after racing home, grabbing a bite to eat, finding his lost wallet with great joy, and saying a cheerful good bye as he apologized for eating and running. The past two days I've done some catching up with fb emails, etc. I borrowed a Monk book from Jeanne-one that was written after the series was filmed, so I am getting ready to settle down for the evening.
Wed.-Went to Dr. F. for sacrum/cranial work. Most of my remaining vertigo has disappeared with just one session. Today was session two. Interesting. Susan did some school today-vocabulary, and filled me in on last night's Bible Study on Evangelism. Really deep and good. Went to town and visited Walmart and then dropped Susan off at the movies with some friends. Haven't done that too many times before. Went to get my hair cut, buy a gift a Sleeping Bee with Elizabeth's help in modeling, and hung out with Judy and her sweet neighbor couple and their two children. She ordered in pizza and I ate it. She also made yogurt, granola, strawberry, blueberry parfaits. Carrie is going to be the German professor at Longwood. What a delightful person she is and her husband is nice too. She reminds me of Naomi's sister, Orpha. Picked up Susan and came home and put groceries away, watered flowers along the lane, and gathered some firewood and put it under roof for a bonfire later this week. No telling when it might get rained on. Every one is home tonight. Jordan's here too.
Thurs.-Susan went to Dr. F. I went to walk with DDF and have her sweet tea and platter of fruit and wonderful conversation. Michael and Jordan ran errands for Phil. I made sweet tea, egg salad, and chocolate peanut butter fudge for the softball picnic. Got there early to set up. Held Gideon and got wet from his slobber. Stayed for all three games and had some great interactions with people. Michael and Sarah were there and Jenny L. sat on the ground in front of Sarah and leaned against her knees. Sarah gathers in with her warm friendliness and integrity. Came home nearly at 11. Phil still working on his computer. Water pump stopped working suddenly.
Fri.-Water Workers came mid morning and we had water again by 5:30. Just in time for NBBWM. Had a lovely time around the fire. Susan went out to town and picked up Savannah and took her to the ball game. Life is so much easier when one has running water. Ran the dishwasher, emptied it, filled and ran it again. Doing wash and it's 11:16. I'll have plenty of time to do it tomorrow but I am so thrilled I have water now. Never again will I let out the tub water. It just doesn't pay. Had to get toilet flushing water from the river and a friend brought more out tonight.
Sat.-Caught up with wash/dishes, etc. Went to DF in afternoon for milk/water. Visited Helen for detox machine earlier and borrowed movies. Watched two with Susan in afternoon. Susan has flu-like symptoms without the fever. Serious detoxing. LD. Guys had spent the night at Va. Beach and headed south this morning by 3. Went tuna fishing all day. Got several tuna and mahi. Sick and sleepy from meds most of the day. Home by 10:30.
Sun.-Special installation service for the Mc'.s PF and Lisa at church to preach and encourage. Susan at New Covenant with Meredith to learn sound system for Girl's Retreat. Went to Monster's Inc. with several friends afterwards. When Phil and I got home, lunch was almost ready. Freeman, Alli, and Sarah here. Had tuna steak, homemade fries, cole slaw, and strawberry ice cream for dessert. Phil and Freeman finished cleaning and packaging the fish. I took a nap and later watched a movie with Michael and Sarah. Everyone went their own ways in the eve. and Suz came home and told me about her day.
