John's academics have only recently become challenging so we've never had a need. We're going on vacation (hopefully) in September so that will be nice, too. What do I do? We have to do memory work review and I wanted to keep reading habits, and Duolingo going. Do I have to do anything else? What do you do?? You let them watch copious amounts of tv while you do all the chores you’ve been neglecting, drink lots of COFFEE~D and read a good book. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I am listening to the rest of "A Man Called Ove" while crocheting dishcloth #3 (hoping that this one is the right size and more dense). I figured out that I was up to about chapter 30. I've never listened to a book before that I can remember. It's nice to be able to crochet while someone else reads to me. Our houseguest made it here. He is such a nice guy. He's been "dating" dh's niece for, oh, must be 7 years now. Niece's parents won't give their approval for them to get married. I think they should elope, but I don't think niece has the nerve to do it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I feel you. We had our first rattler encounter of the season yesterday. Luckily, the Rattlesnake Alert Team (AKA my dogs) found it before it crossed the fence into our yard. Once they set off the alarms, it decided to move on so I let it live. Once again, I feel that I would really enjoy more time out in nature if only there wasn't so much nature. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Good morning. Ds' car is out of commission AGAIN. I got up an hour earlier than usual this morning to drop dh off at work so that ds could have dh's car. I need my car to drive into the Big City for a doctor's appointment today. I will have to pick dh up from his work right during my usual dinner prep time so I'm not sure yet how I"m going to work out dinner. There is the crockpot but I might not have time to get something in it in time for it to get cooked. I am struggling a bit with my attitude towards ds and his vintage (ie. crap) cars that keep breaking down. This might be highlighting an area where God needs to work in my life. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I love nature but we have no venomous snakes and very rarely spiders in our part of the state. We are having lots of black bear and bobcat sightings in our suburban neighborhood but so far I haven't seen any.

Ellie Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I'm off today to see if the store-formerly-known-as-Kinko's can scan a cardboard picture frame; it's a group picture from a residential camp my daughter attended. The frame itself will fit on the 12x12 scrapbook page, but friends signed it on the back, and I'd like to copy that "page" and include it. But the frame is too wide for my flatbed scanner. Also, I have my maternal grandparents' wedding certificate--not the marriage license, but the certificate that the church made for them. I never saw it in my grandmother's house (and I lived with her until I was 11); when my mother passed away, my sil sent me an envelope full of pictures and whatnot and the certificate was in there, all rolled up and now falling apart. Well, just two pieces. Apparently, it was just not that important to either my grandmother or my mother. o_0 I want to take it to a shop that frames things like that, and I'm hoping they can also scan it (again, too big for my flatbed scanner). And one of my cousins (his mother and mine were siblings) sent me an envelope full of papers that had come to them when our grandfather died (over 20 years ago. Why they've hung on to it this long is beyond me); it includes our grandfather's military DD214, certificates of discharge from both the Coast Guard and the Navy (I had no idea he had been in the Coast Guard), and a letter from the State of North Carolina appointing him as a game warden or something (I'd have to go look it up, but I'm not going to, because lazy). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I have done some things: brought ds13&dd15 to orchestra camp, took dds9&11 across the street to a park that has a giant mosaic sea serpent/dragon, shopped at Aldi, came home and put groceries away, chatted for a few minutes with houseguest before he had to leave, chatted with ds22 over his job interview, made strawberry-banana smoothies for lunch, and kicked my kids and the neighbor kids outside so I could have a minute's peace with ITT. 1. Ds22's job interview went well. He had to analyze symphonic scores for errors and do some other "not your typical job interview" tasks that included research. 2. Aldi has chocolate babka this week! Go get some now! Yes - Right Now! Buy extras to save in the freezer. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
