Mon.-Doing wash. Eating vegetables that Susan made. Oh my. She wrapped white asparagus in bacon and baked it. So good. Also baked cauliflower. And made beets. They taste like candy. Tidied the house. Talked with Michael this morning before he headed to the river for a day of reading, resting, studying, listening. Susan is focused and bright this morning and she headed off to their last tournament game. Susan called after her game. They won by 5 points. They had an unbeated season of basketball. Good for them! Went with Phil to Farmville in the truck to pick up chicken pellets and milk replacer. Nice date.
Tues.-Nathan came over this morning and we had a sweet catch-up time together. Yesterday it was in the 60's. Today it's chillier and wet. In the 40's. Phil's working at the dining room table. Susan is cooking broccoli, chicken, and beets. Michelle had her baby this morning at 3:10. He was born on 3/10 and they are in Room 310. Yay! Another baby to love. I cleaned out the back room closet and also a cupboard in the living room. My goal is to clean one shelf/cupboard/area/closet per day. I didn't get it done yesterday so I did two today. I have too much stuff. But if I know I am working on one area a day it won't consume my life and I can enjoy my kids and grandbaby and the weather and friends and writing, etc. I made trout, sweet potatoes, corn, and salad for supper. Philip and crew worked on his house. Susan had basketball practice. They start three days of tournaments tomorrow. They will be playing homeschool teams from the east coast at Liberty. I think I'll go tomorrow and Friday. On Thursday, the car will be at the garage. Susan made a lot of food for the week and got groceries but not in that order. Michael didn't go flying due to the iffy weather and instead, he went over to Happy valley and went fishing. He went to Chi Alpha in the eve and Philip went back to work on his house. Susan and I watched a movie.
Wed.-Went out to Liberty to watch Susan and her team play homeschool basketball. Many different east coast homeschool teams played against each other in the Lahaye Fitness center. They won their first game and lost their second. Betty G. came and watched the second game with me and then we went to Kohl's and then to her house. Great day.
Thurs.-Went to Bailey's to get car worked on. Dianna picked me up and we went to breakfast at Riverside and ate two biscuits with sausage gravy, two eggs, home fries, a pile of bacon, and coffee. I went with her to run her errands and then back to get my car. Visited Judy for two hours and loved on Logan. Went to Belk and Walmart. Came home. Visited with Michael. Found a candy bar from him with a nice note. Went back to Farmville with Phil to pick up glass. Came back home and made lots of little quiches with sausage, potatoes, cheese, peppers, onions, broccoli. and asparagus. Claire and Susan came home hungry. They ate and then went over to Philip's house to see how it was coming along. They took him supper and ice cream. They lost their first game today and won their second. Their legs are seriously bruised. Susan fouled out during the last game. But that's easy to do.
Fri.-I invited Nathan over today. He is so much fun and quite the communicator. As soon as he is leaving, I want him back. Got lots of household jobs done today. Visited with Michael, Susan, and Claire. The girls left around noon to head out to Liberty for one last game. Michael left soon afterwards to head towards Georgia to attend Jordan B's wedding. First he made delicious egg rolls from whatever he found in the fridge. I made a lemon sponge cake and added extra lemon flavoring to the cake and glaze. Too delicious. Phil and I went to Susan's game in the eve. and Philip came too, with Ricky B. It was a tough game and our girls lost. Mary got hurt in the last second of the game. Pastor Bill was there and he and Phil prayed for her while her mother smoothed essential oils on her leg. The girls won a second place trophy in their division and their picture was taken in the Vine Center. Later they went to Hibachi with their friends to celebrate. Phil and I went to Outback because I found a gift certificate when I was going through old Christmas cards this week. But there was a 45 min wait and every place was so crowded. We ended up at Golden Corral. Philip told us later that he and Ricky got turned around and were going the wrong way up 460. It was raining and hard to see. They got turned around. Also, his windshield wipers got tangled up together and Ricky held the wheel while Philip reached out the window and straightened them up. But everyone got safely home.
Sat.-Phil worked on the books and went over some building plans with Peter. He took some shells from Thailand to Ivona and she was thrilled and thankful. She collects shells from around the world but we didn't know that. Susan relaxed and went to the gym. Philip went to an auction and got a little truck and some farming items for Phil. Michael attended Jordan's wedding in Georgia. It's been nice to see some pictures of him on face book. I relaxed all day. Slept. Ate chips and chocolate and read Little House on the Prairie books. True story.
Sun.-So good to be back in church after missing four Sundays. Great sermon. Wonderful people. I love my church. Relaxed in afternoon with a good book. Nathan came around 4:30 and his mom and dad went to church for the Worship Evening. What a delight he is. He almost fell asleep across Captain Mike's chest when it was nearing his bedtime. We watched an action movie-RED. Had some pizza. Earlier, Susan hiked the property following the creeks during the warmth of the day. Phil read. Philip and Ricky B. hiked surrounding areas for antlers. Michael rested after his quick weekend trip to Georgia. Nathan loves music. He pretends to feed his little pink tiger. He calls for Susan when he can't see her. He may want me to hold him but he wants to see what she's doing in the kitchen. If she is cooking at the stove, he wants to be in her arms. If she isn't anywhere to be found, he wants to 'walk' to her bedroom door and find her. He wants everyone he loves to be together in one room, preferably singing or cooking. He hums little tunes to himself and he says 'Da-da-da and ma-ma-ma'. He said 'Sto...' (Stop) to Alli the other day when he didn't want to eat anymore. Held up his hand and gave the command. He loves to examine lights, fans, and chair legs and rockers. He's figuring life out. What a guy.
