It is our first day of summer vacation, and I am enjoying it. Barry got up early and got himself out to work. I heard the door close on his way out, but nothing before that. I got up around 5:30, and was heading for the writing shack by 6:30. If I had prepared a little better I could have started some laundry, but instead I fed the dog and the cat and got dressed and headed over.
On one trip between here and the house I grabbed my largest limb cutter and spent about 30 minutes getting rid of some large-limbed things. I am happier with my view out of my window. I just heard a crackle. I wonder what that is?
Barry worked outside all day yesterday and was in no mood to cook, so we went out to dinner. Usually when he asks me if I have a particular place in mind, I don't. But last night I did, so I said, "Ask me where I want to go!" He with enough of jokey tone to keep it light said, "No. Would you like to tell me where you might like for me to take you?" I laughed and told the boys to cover their ears. I said quietly, "That steak place at the mall." He kinda laughed ... "Do you know where I was thinking?" "That steak place at the mall." So, Logan's it was. I told the boys if they had leftovers, they could eat them for lunch the next day, so they happily ordered exactly what they wanted, which happened to be the pork trio.
Derek has done his daily reports for the last three days, so I'm happy about that.
It is warming up, but up till now I have certainly enjoyed the cool of the morning.
Shawn and Tyler laughing and talking in the back of the car on our way to and from the restaurant.
Shawn and Tyler laughing and talking, the day before school was out, at the bus stop. Tyler had to be out there early, so they were out together. I rushed out and didn't have my phone, which is too bad, because it would have made a great picture.
I cut two gladiolas from my Phew! garden and filled the vase with them and some rosemary cuttings. I called it a Sweet and Savory bouquet, which I thought was fun, and I have a great picture, but I can not get it to upload here for love nor money!

Turned off my alarm!
Came to the writing shack and as I was setting my timer, realized I could go ahead and turn off my three morning alarms. No more school mornings. ;-)

It's a wrap! I just picked the boys up for early dismissal from school. Tyler had a test, and his teacher told them yesterday that as soon as they were finished, they could go home.
I feel good, and strong, and successful and happy. It was fun to carve out the days off for the boys, to tell them on our ride home that I was pleased .... that maybe we needed to improve a little on HOW we were doing the chores, but that they didn't make DOING them an uphill battle. that they'd pulled their bed covers up each morning almost without exception, gotten off to school.... time for a good clean break....a refreshment.
Annette and Morgan are helping me plan SomeTime in the Summertime.
Angela came out on her lunch break yesterday to get the camping gear together. She had a checklist.... little squares. Had to change them to circles because the boxes made Beverly feel boxed in.
Kennedy and John stopped by for a minute.
