That’s pretty much what I was going to say. Mental health benefits. The smell of yeast bread in the oven, cutting a fresh slice and letting the butter melt all over it. Pure joy, I’m telling you!!

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Fri-Yay!! School and work!! I’ve got a lot to get done with work. Paperwork stuff which I hate, but needs to get done. Screech is doing well. DD1 was able to get her to drink quite a bit of her bottle yesterday, so that’s good. DD1 is good with babies of all types.

He does miss his mama. I got him to eat a little more this morning and he was actually sucking on the bottle a bit. DD1 donated her stuffed kitty to the cause, and Screech likes her. Lorinda is a mess. Feathers and poop everywhere and she's eating all my plants.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Friday Eve!!! Thursday is my favorite day of the week. School for some, work for others. Screech is still screeching. Doesn’t like to eat a whole lot, but we are working on him.

Back from the day. Had good talks with families. Kids at Wednesday Night Church were just wild. I let them play outside a little longer than usual. it was a nice evening and I knew very little would get done in small group anyway because they were just noisy and active.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!~D Humph Day!! School and work!! I get to drive to the far reaches of the County today to visit some families. Wednesday night church tonight. DS brought a kitten home from work. Don’t exactly know how it was found, but it may have been in a shipping container from China. It’s tiny, eyes are barely opened. Mom and sibs died, so we get to try to raise a kitten. Fortunately, someone at work did get him a bottle and some kitten formula, so in all my spare time….. Susan, how was the shindig??

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!~D Tuesday!! School and work. Today is my Mom’s 85th birthday, so my aunt and I are joining her for lunch. I want to go to Susan’s shindig.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Monday!!😩😩😩😩 School for some, work for others.

Beautiful pictures, Susan. What a wonderful day!!

That sounds yummy!!

Deal!!

I think I will make pumpkin muffins this afternoon and clean out the fridge.

Watching college sportsball. Michigan is clobbering Indiana in the pouring down rain. i have never been to either of those states, but I want to.

we went to the parade in town this morning. i do love me a good small town parade. Lots of high school marching bands and floats representing all the elementary schools and of course all the fire trucks and ambulances the town owns were on display. it was fun!

We don’t believe in eclipses.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Saturday!!! Not much going on today. This evening we get to drive to the boondocks to watch Baby cheer, but that’s about it. Did grocery shopping last night at the AFSA, so I don’t have to worry about that. Might clean out the fridge.

Sounds like a fun day, Susan! Enjoy it all!!

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Friday!!🎉🎉 Work and school!! I have 4 families to visit today!! They are all wonderful, so it will be fine.

We use one of those apps (Whatsapp) when DH travels internationally. Works well.

That kind of makes me want to cry. That's really beautiful.

Congratulations, Junie.

Not so in California. Governor just signed that bill yesterday.

Good Morning!!, COFFEE!!~D Friday Eve!! School and work!! Made it through yesterday. Had a very delightful talk with the family I visited. Good people. Wednesday night church with the preschoolers went well. I think my older, more talkative group has learned that I mean what I say when I say that we are going to get through the story before play time, even if it takes up their entire playtime because i have to stop telling the story to tell someone to be quiet. They were much quieter last night. No traveling today. I have one meeting on Zoom, I teach my Home Ec class and then that’s it.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D Humph Day!! School and work. I have one family meeting today in the foothills. They are a really sweet family. Two adorable girls. Church tonight. Preschool group is going well.

Thank you for saying this. I don't want to make a knee jerk decision, but I am really thinking that we may have to do this.
