Update...

We haven't been up to much lately. School started back last week and I'm exhausted after a three day work week. The road construction on Highway 63 is about to do me in. It adds 30-60 minutes on to my trip each day. Consider both ways and your talking 60-120 minutes just sitting or only going 2 miles per hour while you're following BIG machines for 15 miles. I've had to leave home by 6:30 (6:15 when I have to take Lydia to the sitter's house). She's going to turn into a bear before it's over. Also with school starting my house has gone to pot. I hadn't vacuumed, dusted, or swept since Monday. These usually happen every other day. I had dishes in my since, trash falling out of the trash can, dirty laundry falling out of the hamper,... I could go on, but you get the picture. I spent the morning getting everything back to normal. Other than the three loads of laundry it's looking good. This afternoon we went to the Glenwood reunion for a parade. Lydia didn't have that much fun. Probable because some really loud machine with stinky exhaust backed up right beside where we were standing. The farther we moved away, the closer they came. And of course they kept it running the entire time. (HOW RUDE!!!) Lydia was scared of it. I was very upset by the time the parade was over. Tonight we get to go to the Downing Rodeo. We've gone almost every year that they have it. This will be Lydia's second year. She enjoyed it last year so I think she'll love it this year. Tomorrow I get to finish up whatever laundry is left and can tomatoes.

Until next time...
