Getting ready

It's almost that time folks. Summer is fading fast. Schedule pick up today for our Jr. high kids. Friday morning at 7:30 am for Nat. As always it seems like everyone kind of wants to go back to school but we will miss the lazy days of summer. School isn't all that bad when you think about it. hanging with your friends etc. Plus as much as we love to get lazy in the summer it's not a bad thing to be busy and productive. We still have some shopping to do, Mar has absolutely no shoes other sandals left that fit her. She was wearing my shoes for awhile last year but I am a 61/2 or 7 (depends on the shoe) She is pushing size 8. That is surprising because she is a little bitty thing. At her physical they said she is in the 10% for weight and 10% for weight. I think she takes after both her grandma's who both had long narrow feet. She has very long fingers and toes too. She has nice looking feet. We told her she should look into becoming a foot or hand model.

We played Michigan Rummy the other night. That was fun I hadn't played it in years.

We had a small bonfire last night. We are trying to burn out a pine tree stump. Hopefully last nights fire did the trick. Next up we need to have a fire in the back lot. The branches have been piling up this year.

If the rain clears up I will finish up my weeding. I got a good amount done yesterday. I do not have a green thumb my gardens fail miserably year after year but boy I sure can grow the weeds! I am really good at growing weeds.

I need to get a lot of stuff done this week and weekend so I can relax after my surgery. I am hoping to get the groceries stocked and few meals put in the freezer. The kids know how to do laundry so I am good there. They do help with cooking and can do OK with supervision.

I am just not good with sitting around waiting to heal. I have decided I will spend my down time getting my scrapbook stuff in order and sorting pictures. I will probably catch up on a few movies I have wanted to see.

I am looking forward to getting back into a regular routine again. I enjoy doing things spur of the moment but I also like to keep a rhythm going.
