If you all remember, I have my two youngest grandchildren (Lee Jr. and Georgia) staying with me! And we are having a blast. I told them that I wanted to make another sheet of handmade paper and they could help. They sort of groaned. But, they dutifully followed me out back. They really got into it and loved the fact that we could get pretty wet as well. We all got wet...some from the papermaking process and others from squirting the hose at themselves and others!! Ha!! Another sheet of paper drying in the sun!! woot!!
I feel for my DIL!! I have had to do the laundry everyday!! And she has five kids to deal with so I am sure she has several loads a day to do! Whew!
Took the kids shopping for school! Polo shirts...check! Khaki pants...check! Socks, undies...check! Bras...check!! Camis...check! Bathing suits...oh well...Ha!...check! (Got to look good in the hot tub you know!) Tennis shoes...check! Gwen Stefani purse..check ( sigh ). Belts...check! Credit card...American Express....(tilt)..check!!
Finally got my tomato plants planted. Two in the back garden area and two in the Topsy Turvy planter. Getting them into the planter was a bit of a trick; but the three of us ( Lee Jr., myself and Dr. John) got them in there. I supervised!! Ha! So far they are not dead! Watering them is dicey but doable. They are only 6 inches long and no flowers yet. I don't hold out hope for these. Our growing season is short to begin with and this year....really shortened!!! Sigh!!! We also planted a pumpkin plant. Don't ask me!? Dr. John got it!
Weight loss update....down 143 lbs.!!! Woot!! Woot!!! And still walking two miles a day...well almost every day. I go early in the morning to beat the heat. Georgia has been walking with me!! That has made it fun! My goal is to work up to 4 miles by summer end. Whew! Wish me luck!
Lee Jr.'s play is this Saturday. Jack and Jill and the Beanstalk! Jill is Jack's sister! Don't ask me!! Ha! Lee got the lead role...he is Jack! He already knows all of his lines and everyone else's as well. He has memorized the entire play. I know...he is brilliant!! His mom and dad and his middle sister are coming in on Thursday night and will be here for the play. Then mom and dad will take all the kids home on Sunday afternoon. I will crash on Monday!!!
Jury duty started for me on Monday! So far, my number hasn't been called. I have been nervous about driving downtown so John took me down there and showed me where to go. Feeling better about it now. Beautiful building!
Georgia and I have been working on the fiber piece and the second canvas is 1/3 done! I will be posting pics on Wednesday of Thursday. Also work on canvas number one is almost completed. Just some finishing touches.
Georgia also took pictures when she and Dr. John went to the Crest. Here are some of her pics!!

Congrats on the mileage and the feeling good ! You inspired me. Off to put the sneakers on and go walking before it gets too hot !

I've only got 3 kids and I'm constantly doing laundry! In fact, I'm supposed to be doing it now. Shhh!
I love to make paper. Never really have time, but it's fun.

Lucky grandchildren! Lucky grandma. Unlucky AMEX card (tilt!). That made me laugh out loud!

Miss SueAnn, I DO NOT know how you do it ALL. So much energy and joi de vivre. I have just one 12 year old with me, so I only wash 1 load a day :) Bathing Suit! Gwen Stefani Purse (isn't she awesome)! You are as young as you feel.
Busy busy.. and wow.. congrats on the weight loss to date. Wonderful!
