Day 17 (July 17) - I went to the market at 8am. It is supposed to begin at 8am but when I got there there was only one piece of goat cheese left. I got more green tomatoes and egg plant (Harry's Favorite), corn, eggs, etc... Yumm, I love the farmers market. The corn farmer threw me a little. He had 12 ears for $3.00. I really didn't think we could eat 12 ears in a week, but I can share. He put about 15-16 ears in my bag. I gave him a $10 bill and he asked how much change I should get. He is a good corn farmer, but Oliver now knows why it is important to learn math (his least favorite subject).
I saw a baby deer without his mother in my backyard today. He was no bigger than Patches. I was happy to see he had all 4 of his legs fully attached... what a relief. I also saw a bunny.
At 9am we had another seminary move in. This one was 2 people in a small 3 br duplex. They brought their own refrigerator that didn't really fit in the fridge spot in the kitchen. I've not seen a seminarian bring a refrigerator before. We were done in an hour or so. These move ins are great for Hannah & Oliver to meet and mingle with other seminary kids.
I got Oliver & Hannah to clean out a few boxes of toys that they moved here when they were 11 & 13. They have outgrown so much stuff. Down sizing went well. Trash will be full this week. I also have a bunch of matchbox cars to donate to PMO. We will do this again on the next rainy day.
I was really going to vacuum the house but there was a "House MD" marathon on TV and I didn't want to drown out the sound so instead I decided to make an imovie about my Sabbath Retreat last May. I love playing with Mac technology.... fun, fun, fun. Fortunately "House MD" is a favorite in our house so I don't have to compete for TV time when it is on. I also get to have some family time with Hannah & Oliver... bonus!
Day 18 (July 18) - Harry came in about 1 am. It is great to have him home :)
Got up and ran... oooww pain in my legs. Too much lifting in the past few days of move ins. At least I don't have back pain. I can't go back to my chiropractor after telling him off last time I was there.
Harry actually got up for 9am service at St. James. I definitely would have slept in if I were him. VBS begins this week. Thanks to Abe for roping Hannah & Oliver & Quint & Christiana & Tori into helping with VBS! They went to a planning and preparing meeting today from 2-4 pm. Yay! kids out of the house together! Harry & I spent some time catching up and visiting with new seminarians that moved in while he was in California.
I'm sure Harry was ready for a good home cooked meal... ooops, I forgot to thaw out a meat. We went out for Mexican. Kids loved it but Harry really didn't like what he ordered. I owe him big time!
I'm hoping this week will be a much more interesting read....
