Mon.-Catch up day. Washing, exercising, finished up homeschool year and applied for next, babysat Nathan for an hour while he slept in his car seat, picked a gallon of green beans and cleaned and cooked them, visited with Kathy and Tom next door and got the tour of their new residence going up and inherited some leftover food, watched a movie with Susan-The Goonies, while Phil and Philip went to the Lynchburg Livestock Market and Michael met with friends. Susan mowed our yard today, worked out, and got groceries. I needed a day like today.
Tues.-Emily came here and we took a meal to a friends place and then went to Babcock House where Susan waited on us. Then we went to B & L, Country Charm (where we got hand dipped ice cream cones), Baines, and Walmart. Came back home and put away loads of ingredients for the men's prayer breakfast on Sunday. We rested a little and then took the gator over to Happy Valley. The guys are making great progress on the house. I took the fruit out of the basement fridge since the Lucas's left last night instead of this morning. They thought they'd get to eat the fruit for breakfast but their flight left sooner than they thought. Nathan came to visit for several hours and we had a really nice time. I was watching Monk with Susan, Michael, and Emily, and when I'd look down, Nathan was smiling at me. No wonder my neck is stiff. Susan held him later and she was eating chicken out of a can. He was completely enraptured by her and every time she put a piece of chicken in her mouth, he smiled.
Wed.-Dentist. Slept.
Thurs.-Made salsa, 100 cinnamon rolls, picked tomatoes, green beans, had some Nathan time. Susan worked at BH, worked out, and made food.
Fri.-Busy day in Farmville. Got some groceries, went to the bank, had lunch at Ruby Tuesday's with Judy, Had #5 with R., got a hair trim, stopped in at the fabric store to get some cheesecloth for Susan's homemade Greek yogurt making project, and stopped at Lowe's for Phil. Came home. Made some chicken, potatoes, and corn. Went over to HV with Phil and Susan. Picked some blackberries. Watched a Monk and hit the sack early. Susan had some good tippers today. Guys got off at 2 today. Philip worked on his property. Michael worked on school work at Chace's. Weather is cooler. A nice break.
Sat.-Susan had a volleyball tournament for most of the day at New Life. Michael made 4 egg casseroles and sausage gravy for the men's prayer breakfast. Nathan visited for awhile while his mommy and daddy went shopping in Appomattox. They got 5 boxes of canning jars at Salvation Army. Philip had a game this eve. and had a friend, Andy, come to visit for a little while. Phil fixed the seals on the John Deere and worked on equipment, processed a load of commodities, watched a movie with the family. I laid out over at Happy Valley late afternoon. Working on a tan for when we got on vacation. News from a few days ago-Malaysian airline shot down over the Ukraine. Held Lucy on my lap on the floor for awhile tonight and braided Susan's hair so it's wavy in the morning.
Sun.-Church was wonderful. Jenny introduced me to another 'Annette'. She teaches Spanish at Longwood. The men's prayer breakfast was successful and they were happy with the breakfast casseroles and sausage gravy and I got lots of thank you hugs for the cinnamon rolls. We ate leftovers all day. Am reading Lost Shepherd by Agnes Sanford. Rosalee reminded me of it. We watched Nathan in the eve. so Alli and Freeman could go to church.
