Barry and I took a walk last night --- 3 or 4 laps around the yard. He said we could do that every night, and I'm pretty happy about that. That's been on my wish list for a long time.
Got to visit with John and Noah a little bit when they brought Tyler home.
Kathi responded to my text. They have their power back on.
My little climate control thingie seems to be working jsut fine. It wasn't cold when I came out this morning.
Barry and I did the kitchen together last night.
I'm getting to have a writing day. :-) By that I mean that most of the day is devoted to writing. It isn't quite like being in Iowa, as I have to work around some things, but I'm in pretty good shape work wise and HH admin wise. My writing and my civic duties may kind of overlap. Spent part of my writing time writing Jeff Sessions, who has indicated that he doesn't really know what Trump meant when he said that he kissed women without even asking them, etc.
Annette said she got Skyler registered and setup at Theodore, and that Skyler seemed really happy.
Angela sent me a message yesterday and so did Brittany.
Jaden weight ten pounds, ten ounces. Chelsea posted a picture yesterday of him propped up in the corner of the sofa and not falling over.

Tyler asking if he could go on my walk with me. He went bike riding with Papa, too. He'd done well on his homework, and his Language Arts teacher was satisfied with our substitute motivator. He made a 98 on his math EQT and he was the first one in his class to see the pattern in the bell ringer. His teacher was impressed.
Barry is talking excitedly about his hike. His backpack came in and he started packing it last night. It is giving him something fun to talk about and think about.
Daddy and Kathi made it through Hurricane Matthew last night. The eye came close to the coastline as it moved north, but did not come in. Mark was with them, and they do not seem to have lost power.
Andrew sent me a text to check on them and see if it was all right to call, and John called me to check on them.
Annette is healing up from her surgery.
I think JA is getting more time off with his new job.
Angela sent me a message, and so did Morgan. Morgan and Beth are meeting with the photographer today, and Fairhope has their application, so the date is set!

They are putting the roof on the writing shack today. I like the color I chose --- you never know about those things ---- if what you get is going to match the color chart you were using.
The view from the old writing shack, where I am now, is pretty. Lawn is green and thick. A different pecan tree with a different circle of flowers, our garden --- also a fence line backed with pallets and some Wonderland stuff, but that isn't too bad. I wonder where the bricks that line the three-legged barn came from.
Angela is making progress on her return to college. She got word from the registrar's office that she was an out of state student, because of that one little year where she lived in Tampa, as a student. So, she is having to supply employment proof that she has lived in Alabama for at least a year. She just had her one-year anniversary at Premier, so that worked out. She came over last night to print some forms related to graduation and when she left she said happily, "I went ahead and printed the graduation application form. I think you have to turn that in the semester of." Happy as in, "I know where I'm going and what I'm doing."
Called Kathi yesterday and had a nice little visit with her.
Shawn seems so happy. When he asked Tuesday afternoon about his friend coming over, and I knew Barry and I would be out to dinner with Dave Ferrante and Joe, I told him that that would be fine, that he'd been mature and responsible and just not to screw me up now. He said, with that happy tone we have when we've received a compliment we like, "Thank you, Grannie!"
The baby shower for Chelsea, and Evan, and Jaden was fun. Everyone seemed happy and played the games and visited well. Except for Loren, everyone there was also part of the Second Sunday Supper crowd, and they all laughed together. Beth had a living room full, and Chelsea and Evan seemed happy.

Tyler has started setting the microwave alarm when I forget to. We started talking about summer, and he mentioned getting the phone number of some of his friends.
Shawn seemed like he was in a good mood, and he ate his breakfast.
I got to have lunch with Beverly and Angela yesterday. They both seemed to be having a good work day. I got to me Lisa, one of Beverly's co-workers. Lisa was actually there with her mother, who also works with them. We were seated, and saw them as they went in. We saw them as they left, and they joshed about lunch hour being over. I said, "They're with their mama. Lunch hour's over when Mama says it is." They laughed and said that "Yep. Beverly was just like her mama." I got a kick out of that.
Angela liked her elephant.
Tori sent a text --- she had a happy day, and we're talking about planning a hike the next time she's in town.
An email message from Morgan.
Made my first batch of yogurt last night. I'm kinda tickled by how easy it was. As a side note, I won't have to drive all the way to Target for it --- just once a month or so for the starter --- and I won't be dealing with as much plastic. Just my own glass jars.
Had a nice visit with Kathi.

Kathi said, "I meant to tell you. That fingernail polish looks pretty with your skin tone." That made me feel good about it. I'm also glad I squeezed in the manicure. ;-)
As Barry and I were getting in the car Sunday night, to leave, Daddy said, "That was a pretty dress you wore Friday night." (to the anniversary dinner.) I thought it was sweet of him to compliment me.
Mark gave Daddy and Kathi a framed print of a photograph that he had taken. Daddy took sweet time, noticing the shadows and the light, letting Mark tell him about the burnishing (?) etc.

I think Kathi is getting excited about her anniversary, and Daddy seems happy about our coming. Reminds me of how helpful she was to me at my weddings --- bridesmaid dresses and planning the first, sending me dresses for the second.
I did hear from Morgan yesterday, so that was fun.
