Susan in TN Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Good morning! I am back home from the festival. It was a lot of fun and I'm proud of myself for not getting homesick and running home in tears before it was over. Last night they had a dance and I was brave and did three of them even though I didn't know any of the dances. They did some instruction before each one so we could learn - square dances, I think, but nothing that I remember from my 4th grade square dancing unit, lol. Very low key and fun. On my way out there on Friday morning, I turned on my windshield wipers and the long thing that holds the blade came off. I spent a couple minutes trying to get it back on without success so if neither of the boys can figure it out I will probably run to the Zone of Autos tomorrow and see if they can help me with it. I need new blades anyway. I had a hotel waffle for breakfast this morning. I love hotel waffles 😊 Coffee!

Susan in TN Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Some things are on Spring Break this week so no music lessons for the girls or CC for ds19, but we still have choir and scouts. Dd17 and I will leave in a little while to meet with a park ranger to discuss Eagle projects. Dd is getting a little nervous and stressed because she has 5 months to complete a project and get everything done for her eagle rank, though I know once her project is approved by the council it can be easily accomplished in 2 or 3 months. She has really great support from her troop which helps as well. Imma try to get the rose bush trimmed before leaving for that meeting. Hopefully I can find the gardening gloves.

Susan in TN Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) We met with the park ranger who was awesome and had several potential projects just off the top of his head, so dd is going to write up a proposal today and see if the troop leaders will sign off on it and then she can submit it to the regional council. She's super excited. She really wanted to do a park project because David loved hiking in this park. We've been all around it and have great memories there. It was a little hard for me driving into the park and I got a little panicky but once we got settled in I was fine.

Susan in TN Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Good morning! My primary task today is keeping Other People on task. I may go vote - there are a few local positions being voted on. Also we are out of milk. Dd17 will be trying to see if the park ranger is working today so she can get her eagle project signed off and sent to the regional council for approval. We're having Tachos for dinner tonight 😊 Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'm going to vote between grocery pick-up and making dinner. I had to look up a whole bunch of people this weekend and write names down on a piece of paper. There will be 10 questions on my ballot. We started reading Fahrenheit 451 today. The technology is on point, making it a different experience from the first time I'd read it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Good Afternoon! Happy Tuesday! Trip to the post office and then I went to vote with dd19 and dd17. Dd17 will be 18 before the general election in November, so she was allowed to vote in the primary. The poll workers made a big deal about her being a first time voter. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 We had a good quick meeting with the park ranger. Got a couple questions answered and his signature on the form so dd17 was able to send the proposal to her Eagle Mentor. Then we went to the place to vote and they were not having voting done there. So I went to the other place where I've always voted and they also were not having voting done there. Humph. Meanwhile it's pouring rain. So I looked it up and found another place close by that hasn't had voting before but does now. So sloshed through the rain one more time and got it done and then came home. Tachos turned out yummy. I know this because ds19 had two helpings which is very rare. Normally he eats the bare minimum required to avoid questioning looks from Mom. 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Good morning! It's another drizzly morning. At least it's not cold. It's gorgeous at the Soggy Dollar Bar. Sigh. I've been feeling a bit gassy this morning - probably the Tachos from last night, lol. Nobody looks gassy at the Soggy Dollar Bar. Ds29 left for work, the girls have gotten started on their lessons, and I am heading out the door for Aldi in a minute. Something out front is about to bloom. Can anyone remember what I planted there? It looks like a bulb. I guess I'll find out soon enough! Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Today, workers are outside my house installing piers to lift the house on one side. It's a Texas thing. ::glares:: We had it done in 2018, on three sides; nothing was done to the south end of the house because it looked good. Turns out. So, after they finish, we'll have to have someone come in and repair cracks in walls and paint the rooms. Oh joy. Isn't home ownership great? /sarcasm 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 We do not Philmont. In local news, a certain town that has in theory been sponsoring a volunteer group for a couple of years but has in practice done almost nothing suddenly, as the group is on the verge of collapse for lack of support, wants lots of interaction with the remaining volunteers in order to publicize it (and also is putting more rules in place, one of which has provoked a couple of the few remaining volunteers to withdraw). This year is going to make or break this program. *sigh* Wish us luck. In other news, I can't figure out where ants are getting into the dining room. There are none by the windows. At least it's not raining today. Blue sky, huzzah! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
