TODAY is Skunk Hollow Cousin Karen Ober’s birthday. Happy, happy birthday, Karen! Hope you had a wonderful day, filled with paper dolls, taping your hair, and counting how many pieces of silverware you had to dry! And maybe even playing ‘little men’ in the creek. Love you!
Chase was up early, and we made French toast for breakfast. Logan slept until 2pm, but by then Kelly and I had left for the funeral home. I was happy to see and talk to Deanna, Angela, Nancy, and Mel. We were hoping Aunt Nancy and cousin Debbie would be there but didn’t see them. We stayed about an hour, but everyone was being pulled in many directions so we slipped out. I was surprised to see some photos on the picture boards that I was in. I think Theresa was ten when I met Stoney.
At Kelly’s wedding
On the way home I happened to see the sign for Palmer’s corn so we swung a right and I stopped for tomatoes. That, and homemade bread toasted, was what I had for supper. Kelly and the boys had quesadillas. I did take a few minutes while Kelly was doing school prep and pull weeds on both sides of the steps to the bottom yard. Logan helped by using the blower to clean everything off.
Another thing Kelly was working on was tying strings on the tags for the Blessing of the Backpacks service Sunday morning at church. That’s such a good idea. We had a blessing for our students and teachers last Sunday but not like her church is doing. Good idea!
August 17 – Do you remember being really curious about something? “Yes – a young woman had said our dad was the father of her child. This was several years before he married our mother. This woman would get drunk & call Dad on the party line. Dad finally explained all the conditions and my ‘curiosity’ was satisfied.” I remember hearing about that!
Calendar inspiration – When you are in the middle of a big project, it feels like you’ll never finish. Keep going – finishing brings great satisfaction!
