Well, let’s see if I can recap this day. To begin with, I didn’t fall asleep until after 1:30am. When the alarm went off it felt like I was shot out of a cannon. But I was fine all day. Starting to run out of energy.

I worked both stores, then stopped at Giant Eagle for a few things I couldn’t find at Dollar Tree or Walmart. When I got home I decided to cut the grass, even though it was fairly hot and humid. There was a breeze and that helped. I was halfway through with that when Kelly called and they were only 10 minutes away.

Kelly made a hat for me to put with the raffle basket for the reunion. She is making several – I think she plans to sell them or give them as gifts.

Extra one.

Once the grass was cut, all the walks, etc, blown clean, and the two trash cans scrubbed and hosed out, I went in and got a shower. Kelly needed to get some things for her projects for Chrissy’s grad party tomorrow, so after I wolfed down the last of the roasted veggies we went over there. Chase came with her, but he has a cough — and I hope he feels better quickly. We installed him in the upstairs bedroom to contain his germs and give us a little extra room downstairs.

I had a few projects today, and boiled eggs to make deviled eggs. Then we mixed up brownies for Saturday and I’ll ice them tomorrow.

These are for taste testing – the rest are tucked in the fridge.

Brown’s PHAC is coming in the morning to put a new spigot on the laundry tub sink. There are no shut-off valves in there so I’m assuming the main shutoff will have to shut the water down in the house. Kelly and I are going to fill a few pans with water so we can at least do a few things, like make her mac/cheese for Chrissy.

It was a long day and now I’m tired. I do want to say that there will be no Word Garden tomorrow. The party runs late into the evening and I’m sure I’ll be exhausted by the time we get done.

Words n the garden….

My blessing today is having the kids here! And we had spaghetti for supper! With garlic toast!

PEANUTS Thought for the day:

TOMORROW August 2nd is:

International Beer Day; National Coloring Book Day; National Meatball Day; National Ice Cream Sandwich Day; National Water Balloon Day.

Yesterday there was no ‘fake’ day. Tomorrow: ice cream, balloons, and coloring books! God bless…
