I made it fine through Sunday school with no coughing and did have a voice. The lesson was about Zacchaeus and the kids enjoyed the story. I knew they heard it before, but they are old enough to take it to the next level. I could see them processing the new insights. I really love this little class, and teaching it with Mary!
I was able to get the few things I needed to button up most of the week with Chase here. However, this afternoon I decided to fix the drawer on the phone stand, and Chase popped out and asked to help. We took everything out, turned it upside down, and tried to put wood glue on the runners. The bottle was clogged and typical for me, when we took the lid off I squeezed the bottle and wood glue went everywhere. I think it sort of surprised Chase – he’s not used to my issues…
So we did a thorough examination and had a plan of action. Chase applied the glue, then slid the drawer in then put the clamp in place. We moved the stand out of the way so we wouldn’t trip on it in the middle of the night.
Then I mentioned I had a Snoopy sign I wanted to paint, so we went out and did a thorough examination on that project next. He feels confident, so tomorrow when he gets up we’ll go to Walmart and get paint. Here’s the before picture, and we’ll see what happens when it’s finished later in the week.
I discovered I had scraped lilac paint on the storm door when I moved the Bistro table, so he took the cloth and the cleaner and the little scraper and got it all cleaned off. So all these little projects are our ‘secrets’ so he doesn’t have to get roped into projects when he gets back home. Shhhh!
We plan to have pizza (for Chase) and zucchini casserole (me) for supper in about 40 minutes. I am keeping the posts short this week since we’ll have things to do. He picked a few things to do that are on his list already so we’ll have a good time.
July 10 – Tell any favorite summertime memory. “Planting potatoes in the truck patch in my bare feet. I can still remember how the warm soil felt when I walked along, dropping the cut potatoes in the row that dad had made with the ‘shovel plow’ pulled by the horse. Molly was the name of the horse.” Great memories. Happy families. Great food!
