Mon.-Feeling so much better. Made 5 batches of freezer strawberry jam. Went out to town. Dropped Susan at gym. Ran errands. Stopped in to see Judy. Went to ball. Had a nice time visiting. One of the girls were hurt playing ball. Needed 5 stitches on her eye lid. She was so sweet and calm. I love these people.
Tues.-Dragging today. Helped Alli make two batches of strawberry jam and 2 batches of cinnamon rolls for the freezer. She also made some mac and cheese to freeze and a strawberry shortcake for supper. So inspired, I came home and used the rest of her sour cream to make a strawberry shortcake for supper. Sliced up strawberries and lightly sugared them and had a relaxing supper with Michael watching Monk. Phil getting ready to plant corn. Susan at gym. Philip out a friend's house. Michael studying. I drove all over creation-down to the river, over to O'Briens, over to Happy Valley-to see the wonders of 5 inches of rain and how it changes the terrain. Phil went with me to Happy Valley on the gator. We saw the little gaggle of geese swimming and the little ducklings following their mother in the pond. The white peonies are in full bloom in front of the swing by the house. All is peaceful there. Heading to bed. Tomorrow is dentist day and I probably shouldn't write with those drugs in my system.
Wed.-Michael took me to the dentist. Had to take two little pills and came home and slept until 4. Still sleepy and can't remember names. Found out that dear friend Meg Davis passed away at 11:30 this morning. We were going to see her after CCA grad this Friday. Michael and Susan are sad. She knew how to be a friend to all. Cancer took her quickly in one month. Happy Birthday little brother David!
Thurs.-Still sleepy. Highlight-homeschool softball and talking with Jenny M. Stopped in at Judy's between gym and softball. Susan had gotten something in her eye. We put whole milk in it and rested awhile. Thank you, dear Judy, for always being there.
Fri.-CCA graduation at 10. Out to Farmville. Amanda visited in eve. Had toasted mac and cheese sandwiches for supper. Susan with Julie and friends to local restaurant to hear a band. Made brownies and strawberries to go with supper. Broke out in hives and couldn't sleep. Body not used to sugar. Planted flowers. Made big lettuce salad from garden. Phil spreading chicken manure.
Sat.-Good day. Cleaned house. Made a trifle for Plank's BBQ this eve. Did wash. Made chicken, macaroni, hard boiled eggs for food for tomorrow. Susan mowed and worked at Happy Valley and went out with Julie and friends. The rest of us will end up at Planks sometime this eve. Michael, Philip, and Wade going fishing later. Posted this on face book today. "There are those who point a finger and say with a frown, "I'm watching you." And there are those who give a thumbs up and say with an encouraging smile, "I'm watching you." Be kind. It is hard not to give someone exactly what they are watching for." Wanting to get some sun and exercise so I'm going to do my stretches and strength building out on front porch. Have a Happy Birthday big brother Abe!
Sun.-Pastor Bill preached his best sermon ever on 'Resolving Conflict.' From the book of James- we fight because we want something and we strive to get it from others instead of asking God for it. Phil counts money after church and I get to stay and visit. Went to Chinese after church and Philip and Michael and buddies were there. Susan brought home a movie for us to watch-The Secret Life of Walter ?-pretty good. She took a nap. Phil took a nap. I drove around all over the place in my gator. Michael and Jordan hung out and jammed with drums and electric guitar outside. Philip took a walk-a-bout and found a perfect arrowhead. Reading about self-publishing. Would like to compile blog devotionals into a book some day before long.
