Really, though, you could probably do with another couple weeks in the mountains. Loved it! So. Much. (I'm glad I listened to the audiobook so I can pronounce it correctly.) Yes! I have a "Dibea" named Wally. Wally II, actually. The first Wally got his sensors messed up so they sent us a new one. I plan to get his mopping adaptor soon. You made it! Yes, another family camp. This one is at the behest of my father-in-law. We’ve never been to Mt. Hermon before. It’s pretty fancy schmancy, from what I understand. People come from all over the U.S. to go to this one. And it’s in the mountains, but close to the beach. So that will be fun!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 We watched the 1st Harry Potter movie.

Susan in TN Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Good morning! Dh was half asleep earlier this morning when he got a phone call from someone (whose name he didn't quite catch) asking if either of us was doing music for the services this morning and was desperate because she couldn't get into the church and didn't know what was going on. Dh half asleep said, "Isn't it Saturday?" Brief silence. "OK. I need prayer!" We figured out who it was - such a sweet lady. I don't think the peaches are quite ready for jam. Tap tap tap. Have to do a more thorough check, though. I have a whole list of chores for other people to do. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Good Morning! Happy Saturday!! FYI: My postings are going to be very sporadic for the next week or so. I need to try to stay off the internet and do quite a bit of reading. Now that ds17 has graduated, I need to get to work on dd15's and dd13's high school classes. Everything has been kind of on hold for them for the last year while I got ds17 through his senior year. They have been "doing the next thing" for a while now and I need to make sure that they are up to speed. I did quite a bit of work on my literature lists this week, but now I have a very long list of books that I actually need to read through before I assign them. (Ds17's literature list looked quite a bit different than the girls' lists will look.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I've watched two parts of the histor channels dvds on the presidents. There's not a separate track for each president, rather each part is 45 minutes long and covers 5 or so presidents (making it inconvenient to break it up). Still, I think they will be useful. ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I feel a little depressed and disgusted with my inability to grow things. Yesterday my neighbor came over and sheepishly asked if we would be willing to take a bag of zucchini and yellow squash off her hands because she is overloaded. "If you aren't already over-run with zucchini." Lord, I haven't gotten a single zucchini yet. I saw a blossom once. My tomatoes aren't turning red and most of them have blossom end rot. The squirrels are now eating the strawberries while they are still white. I don't even bother checking them anymore. None of my garlic produced any garlic bulbs. No peppers yet. Barb died - I think it's for good this time. Cilantro is long gone, bugs ate the basil, and the parsley isn't doing well. Woe is me. Such a pity party. I need more coffee. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we had nary a grape off 3 vines, a couple years ago my zucchini all rotted before they were a couple inches long. DH just went out and harvested our blueberries. We got a grand total of 3.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I'm being a bad daughter in law. FIL is moving out of assisted living tomorrow. Dh and one of his sisters are moving some of his stuff today. I was asked if I "wanted" to help. But you know what? I'm done. I have moved entire houses for them multiple times. And each time they couldn't find something afterwards SIL has insinuated that I took something. Nope. She can move her father herself. (I didn't bother telling dh this. I have a full day of bill paying and other paperwork so I have good "excuses" without stirring up family drama.) I am going to help move FIL himself temporarily to her house tomorrow. She can't accuse me of stealing him. ? Then he will be flying down to California with his other dd's help to go stay with relatives. Which I think will make him so much happier than he's been in years. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
