Second time this morning that my phone has crashed. "Can't find your SIMS card." I'm really just going to have to go to the AT&T store.
The temperature in the writing shack seems to be going down instead of up, and I can't find the instructions. I need to finish setting things up. I feel reasonably certain that it is here somewhere.
We had Goodtimes, and Beth was here, so I was happy about that. Zak and Vivian came, they played a couple of hands of Stewardess with Beth and I. Lots of laughter.
Michael and Faith made brownies. They've really got that down pat, now.
Morgan, Angela, Kennedy, Tori, Josh, Beth and Beverly gathered in yard, along with all of their puppies. It was like a new generation of Goodtimes, only with puppies.
Zak turned on the football game, and Barry and Brandon talked about one of the games.
Michael, Faith, Noah and I played a round of Stewardess at the start of Goodtimes, and with the exception of Daniel, at that time, we were the only ones here. Noah said, "Some of my cousins are late."
Chris stayed and got the go-cart running, and they had a lot of fun riding on it. Faith and Skyler talk to each other a lot about Goodtimes.
Autumn brought Willo, and she had a lot of fun.

Angela and I get to order her graduation things today! She and I got to have a little visit Saturday. (She drove up as I was walking back from my little storage shed.) Her professor is going to get with her today on some volunteer opportunities that may gave her an idea of what she would like to do as a career, for focus on graduate studies, since her professor would really like her to do that. Angela said several times that she wants to do something that helps people.
Brittany had a lot to do yesterday, but she came to Second Sunday Supper.
Andrew playing with Daniel.
Skyler made cupcakes and brought them for one of our desserts.
Annette brought corn and got the silver ware out.
Beverly brought some lima beans and she and Beth got the table ready.
JA walked out a little bit after dinner started and Beverly was so happy to see him Beth thought that Rodney had shown up for her as a surprise.
Angela liked her birthday present. (wind chimes I bought in Florida at the Fort Pierce farmer's market) and I found out that Brittany likes wind chimes.
Kennedy made green bean casserole and spinach / artichoke dip.
Morgan took care of the rolls.
Annette said she got first dibs on Jaden because she didn't get to hold him last time.
Evan, Chelsea and Jaden were here for just a few minutes. He said he felt nauseous; Chelsea needed to get some sleep before her shift, too.
Noah gave me hugs.
Barry got all of the towels washed, dried, folded and put away. That kinda gives me a shot at having all of the laundry done by writing day. :-)
Chris got up and helped with the Saturday night dishes.
Andrew carved the turkey.

Just enjoyed yesterday, and ended it feel happy --- a sense of well-being. Katelyn, the little girl I've been following on Facebook, had a good week, and is getting stronger. Tyler and I had some good talks. Autumn brought Willo for Goodtimes and we've given her the dates for them through the rest of the year. Faith and Skyler picked Willo up in the pool and played with her, and Tyler played with her a lot. (Tyler said more of the big kids need to come to Goodtimes because his brother just stays in his room, or tries to play with the little kids, which isn't much fun for him.) And we did have big kids yesterday! Angela, Tori, Kennedy, and John W were all here, and we played "Nines" together for a little while, and then Tyler joined us. Zak and Vivian came by around 4:00 or 4:30 --- they had come earlier but somehow missed us --- must have been right before noon --- they didn't see any cars, so I told them mine is usually in the pottery barn now. Vivian and I made up a potion for her grandmother --- played with the essential oils for a little bit --- and I made one for Zak, and Kennedy and I got to refill her Itzahug. Annette hadn't been sure if Skyler would make it, whether or not they would be back from their time in NOLA with Annette's mother, but they were, and so we did get to see her. John was my playground duty, and he sent me a text to let me know they were running a little late. He and Noah got here after we were in the pool, and sat together on the glider at the deep end of the pool. It was fun to watch them sitting there together, talking. Noah was sitting at the table later and when I walked by, he put his arms around me and gave me a big hug. Angela wore her new shirt --- the one Kennedy designed for her. It is so wonderful! Barry cooked a big pot of beans while everyone was here, and had fun feeding them all.

Barry bought the RV yesterday and we're making progress on getting a site set up for it. I'm glad to have a plan in place for that.
Evan and Chelsea were working 2 - 9 yesterday, so we went to Rouse's and got a birthday cake and took it up there.
Daniel spent Sunday night with us. Noah came Monday night because Kim had a doctor's appointment. They filled the house with laughter and all wanted me to campaign for another night. By Wednesday evening though, they were ready to go home.
Tyler told Beverly that they were having a tri night. She said, "You mean a night where you try to do things but can't?"
Tyler: No. Were you blonde?
Beverly: No, but you are!
Tyler held up three finger: Tri
They laughed.
Wednesday, after I got a text from Kim saying that Noah was on the fence about staying another night, I went into the reading room where the boys were playing. I told them that they could stay another night, and I would ask their moms. Remembering Noah's last visit though, and how he'd gotten homesick, I said, "But some of you have been gone from home for a few days, and might rather go back tonight. It's not like we live in different cities, just on the other side of town. And Noah and Daniel don't have to make the same decision. You can each do what feels right to you, today. I'm going to go make a cup of coffee and I'll be back in about 5 minutes for your decision, unless you already know. ~ Noah got up, put his arm around my shoulder, tapped it gently, as he said, "I already know. I just want to go see my mom."

Daniel said that when he's 14 he's going to work at the skating rink, because if you work there you can skate for free. Reminded me of Barry mowing the yard to get into the movies for free.
Made some more progress delegating things in the office yesterday, and Virginia is busy training Jashuna.
Angela liked the quote I tagged her in, that Beverly put up and put on her page.
Had a little Voxer chat with Beth yesterday.
Shawn told us about his Entrepreneurship class, and how he changed the lyrics to "Ghostbusters" for their jingle, and as it was intended to do, it made people laugh.
A girl in Clay Buddies said my post was inspiring.
Kennedy and I had a little text chat. She said she's enjoying her yogurt breakfasts.
It was raining too hard to work in the garden last night.

I had a sort of undramatic, unstructured, wonderful weekend.
Barry and I got to have lunch with John and Kennedy at Miller's Ale House, where we've been wanting to take them ever since we ate the Osoboko. (sp.) We had a good visit, and then went and got their Jeep to pull back here. Kennedy helped move the ramps and anything that she could do. I got to see their apartment and her painting porch and their three cats.
Beverly and I finally got to have a little visit late yesterday afternoon, and even though our visit focused on some current stressors it was good to be together.
Every day when I walk past the wisteria, I want to trim it, but was waiting for cold weather to take off all leaves. It finally did, and I probably spent a couple of hours shaping it up. Now I have to pick up the trimmings, but I smile at the tree when I walk by.
And I cleaned out one of the closets. That isn't as impressive as having gone through all three of them, but it is one of them.
And I made it through some laundry, and will probably be able to set out Barry's clothes for Gadesden tonight. ... which isn't as impressive as being packed already, but is still a chore behind me.
I just wasn't in the mood to get stressed out about anything, and so ... I did not.
Also got to have a nice phone chat with Johnny.
Michael and Daniel called Saturday, so Barry went to get them and they spent the night and plowed on the tractors with him, getting ready to put the garden in. It was their first time driving a tractor.

I just don't think I've ever seen Daniel smile as big or look as happy as he did when he got back from going on his ride with Papa to the dirt pit.
Goodtimes was quieter than usual, but still very good. Faith and Michael made us some brownies. Michael said that he liked to cook, so I'm going to have to remember that as part of Goodtimes.
Kim and Faith sat at the table and colored.
John, Michael, Noah and I played Monopoly.
