Critterfixer Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I cooked chicken and revised, sniffled, snorted and generally wallowed in misery for a while. I feel a little better. I need to force myself to eat something. Appetite is just gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Plants be planted. Some Areas have been picked up. A truck ran into a bridge and closed down the highway so we are going to have to leave Very Early for rehearsal. Traffic will be a mess because a whole lotta people are heading into the Big City for the hockey playoff game and because it's finally good weather and people are ready to par-tay. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I want to read LOTR. An old friend gave me a beautiful red leather copy of it when I was like 9 and blossoming after my dyslexic diagnosis. I haven't seen him since I was 14 but we plan to drive down this summer and see him. I am so excited I could cry. We did memory work and read alouds and I danced. I don't want to do anything else. Burgers and My Little Pony movie tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Around five I got worried about my kids. I remembered that I sent them to the lake with water and lunch but no sunscreen! However, Nana came to the rescue, and they were slathered before the got in the water. I worried that they might be tired, hungry and thirsty. I couldn't find out when they were coming home. In the end, DH and I ran to the lake to rescue them. They didn't need rescuing. We got there in time to see them skillfully managing some substantial lake waves in their boats, keeping pace with Grandpa and Uncle with no problems, and when they got in, both of them had all sorts of stories to tell about exploring the lake, heading up creeks, getting off on islands, annoying the Canada geese, and finding a dead raccoon in a creek. They saw deer, gar, a wild turkey, an enormous snapping turtle, and a feral hog and her nine piglets taking a dip in the lake. They identified several flowering trees, saw other plants they admired, and named a creek, "Inlet of a Thousand Raindrops".They are wild with enthusiasm for a float trip tomorrow on the river, despite having spent almost eight hours on a kayak today. Where did my boys go? I think they might be growing up on me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
