Mon.-Such a great day. Laughed so hard with Susan. Went out to town. Dropped in to see 3 friends while I was there and Susan was doing her things. We stopped at Cross Fit and found that you have to be 18 to join. That was disappointing for Susan. Also went shopping for shoes and she found some. Took her to the gym and then went to Walmart and after picking her up, we went to ball. She won her game, gave I. his pb eggs and sweet tea for his birthday, got to see Phyllis and Amy and catch up with them a little bit, and headed for home. It was a delightful evening with homeschool families and the storm sprinkled on us and gave us shade but did not rain on our party. I felt so grateful to see I. could play. Last week, a ball had flicked up from a stone and hit him on his c. artery on his neck and he's had some challenges from that, but tonight, he was laughing and playing and I am so thankful that there is not sorrow for his family and others who care for them. One of Susan's Fisher cousins hit a line drive right at her while she was on 3rd base and she just swerved her head out of the way and missed being killed or having her face rearranged. She did it so calmly and I think few people realized what a close call it was. I am full of thankfulness tonight.
Tues.-Had a busy hot day. Susan took Alli out to her doctor apt this afternoon. Lawn is growing rapidly so she mowed again today. Michael is working around the farm, weed wacking, etc. I worked on sorting clothes in bedroom, organizing old house, exercised, washed 4 loads of wash, sent out pig roast emails to homeschoolers and others, made stuffed portabella mushrooms, and went out to Farmville with Susan. She dropped me off at Sweet Frog where I met Danielle and Teresa for two hours while she worked out. Went to walmart afterwards. We were reading Stevia ingredients and suddenly Susan got whacked on the head with a big bag of something. "Are you okay?" I asked. "It's just a bag of marshmallows." I looked around. We were not in the marshmallow aisle. Danielle and Teresa came laughing around the corner as did another couple who wanted to see what happened when Danielle hurled a big of large marshmallows over the top of one aisle into another. It was fun. Susan sang half of the way home and we pulled into our lane in no time. She told Danielle and Teresa the 'Obama can't ban These Guns' tank top story. I didn't realize guns meant arms and got a little upset with her one time when she wore it with her friends around. She loves to tell on me. Phil's back really hurts him and Susan is working on it with the massage machine. Davi is not happy. She is barking aggressively at the machine and she came back here to be with me but the called her out and are making her lie down and are trying to reassure her that everything is okay. She still does not sound so happy.
Wed.-A day at home. So nice. Made some chicken and packed it into 5 oz packs. Also made rice and chicken with salsa and pineapples for supper. I didn't have apricot jam so I added a whole can of gingerale but didn't tell anyone. Incredible. Again worked on doing some things in 15 min. increments-old house, walk, kitchen, desk, back room. Talked with Judy, Sara, and Lindsay today. Made plans with Lindsay because they are coming the week before the pig roast and staying for a few days afterwards. Alli came over in the afternoon and we worked on some recipes to make and freeze. The plan is to do them next Tuesday. It rained off and on. Phil and Michael spread chicken manure. I opened the windows because it was cooler outside than inside this eve. but then I realize that it might not have been such a good idea. I hope our clothes don't smell bad. Michael, Jordan, and Chase, took the gator to the pond and went fishing and Susan and Philip drove together to church. Just like the good old days.
Thurs.-Rained like crazy. 5 inches. Got lots done. Obviously no softball.
Fri.-Phil drove me down to the river. The lower field was river since the banks had overflowed. Tidied house, made some egg salad and mashed potato soup, played ball with Susan, good talk with Philip, had the house to ourselves this eve. Michael is helping a friend-A-move. Susan is with some friends. Philip fell asleep and never made it over to the Lapp's. Freeman and Alli stopped in for a little while. Getting to bed before 9.
Sat.-Grams and More. New Life yard sale. Found 4 glasses of pink depression ware for $2.00. Heard about Haitian missions trip from Anita and Margaret as we sat around and shared at Grams and More. Sang some hymns. Had taco soup, salad, and Anita's strawberry dessert. Reminded Becky how to knit again. Played Pick One with Robin and Becky. Went from there to Jason and Cynthia's wedding. Held in front yard of their house. So beautiful. Phil and I didn't stay for the reception. I wasn't feeling well-allergies, congestion, constant tickle in my throat making me cough-and he had lots of farm work to do. Philip and Michael stayed for an hour and then came home and got ready for their evening, making sausage burgers and waiting for two friends to show up. They got stuck with their car in an unlikely spot and Philip's truck got stuck then also. Will have to wait until things dry up to get them out. They had supper together in here and then watched a movie and Philip took them home since they had no vehicle. Susan stayed for the whole reception and had a great time with friends there.
Sun.-Stayed home from church. Feel wiped. Can't talk without coughing. Dizzy from meds. Sat in sun. Slept, etc. Truly a day of rest. Everyone scattered doing their own things. Susan got groceries on her way home. Bought ingredients to make me chicken soup and got some oranges. Also brought me a movie, "Book Thief", which was really good. Narrator comments a bit strange however but besides that, a great movie.
