Susan in TN Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I put together a small charcoal grill all by myself. It worked despite the instructions which were terrible and the leftover screw and wingnut. So we had grilled hot dogs for dinner. They were pretty tasty. Also chips and leftover coleslaw which dd14 added some apples and raisins to. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 DH took Baby to her football game. We're getting a bit of Hurricane Hillary up here. Not a lot of sprinkles, but a few thunder boomers which would cancel the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Morning. Happy Sunday. I haven't been around much. I worked a camp last week and getting up early was rough. And morning is my usual time to check in and post. I'm doing another camp this week but then all camps are done. One week off to get some stuff done, then we're on vacation in Maine for a week, then classes start and it's 8 weeks of non-stop teaching before I get another break. Oldest dd started a new job so couldn't get off to come to Maine with us, but she is thinking of taking a few days to come up. But that means she'd have to do the 8 hour drive up by herself, stay for only 2 days and do the 8 hour drive back by herself. As much as I want her to join us, I'm not sure I want her doing that. I told her that her and I could take a trip ourselves later in the year. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Sunday!! Church!! I’m doing Children’s Church today during the sermon. My first time. It will be fine. DD1 helps a lot and she told me they play on the playground and then hear the story and color a picture. I love those little kids. They are so funny!! Well,Hurricane Hillary is supposed to be moving north today. The words “Hurricane” and “California” are two words never before heard in a sentence together. Where I live we are just supposed to get a little rain. That never happens on August and it’s not good for the tree fruit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Good morning! Why does Maine have to be so far away from everything? I have been keeping an eye on the California Hurricane.

Dianthus Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I'm working on the homeschool routine this week. I have a spreadsheet of the schedule.

Susan in TN Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Not much for the sleeping last night. Dd17 was running a low fever and had stuffy sinuses and couldn't sleep. She took a Benadryl which I think also contributed to the insomnia. She was a mess but I think finally fell asleep around 4. I have 15 minutes to get dressed and ready to bring dd14 to the ortho. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Well that was a waste. I made extensive arrangements to make sure everyone had a way to be where they needed to be tonight so that I could go to the monthly ukulele play-along in the Big City. I got there after driving almost an hour in traffic only to find that the library had closed for the day and the play-along was cancelled. So now I'm home again and plenty grumpy. And there's no ice cream. 😭 Edited August 22, 2023 by Susan in TN 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Good morning! Dd17 is fairly recovered - slept last night and is doing schoolwork. Still has Major Sniffles. Imma need to buy more tissues. Today we need to do some tidying and cleaning and disinfecting in preparation for a visit from dd25 and Fiancee. Dd25 lives with a lady who is undergoing cancer treatment, so she is especially cautious of bringing germs into the house. Other than that, people have school and lessons and work and etc. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Lessons from Today's Dinner Experiment: 1. Salmon is much harder to grill than hot dogs. 2. Next time I will simply set all the pieces of fish on thick slices of lemon. 3. Also I should consider getting some grilling tools. We might have some in the Garage of Doom but I am not planning to go in there. 4. It's best to wear old clothes that you don't mind getting all gross while grilling. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Dh has long cage things to grill fish. They seem to work well but one of them is a pain to clean because with the handle it's too long to go in the dishwasher. The other is shorter and much better but he seems to use it less. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Today is ds's 18th birthday. Officially two of my kids are adults, only one "child" left. We went out to dinner at a place up by older dd's house because we went there for dd's birthday and ds liked their food. He has ASD and SPD and finding restaurants where he likes the food isn't easy so we went there even though it's not that close to home. It was nice, all of us, older dd and my mother. After we went out to a local ice cream stand that has great homemade ice cream. Ds only likes soft serve so is find going anywhere but going there dd was able to come too, rather than us going closer to home to a different ice cream place we usually go to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 While we were eating our ice cream, a really funky looking car with weird lights on the front and a very steeply sloped hood that had a light panel that was very narrow parked next to me. We couldn't figure out what it was. It was a semi convertible (two side panels pulled back on roof). When we went back to our car, I looked at the front and back for a logo and it had nothing. License plate said "KNIGHT". Looked inside (roof and windows were open so it was easy) and the steering wheel wasn't a wheel, it was just a long piece with short curves on either side and on the steering wheel it said..... Knight Two Thousand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they will have to miss Youth Group tonight. They are sad. But at least they aren't monkeys. It's hot and my garden mums are droopy. The pup is all bathed and trimmed and is now lounging about.
