We saved our drama for the second day,  but everyone is on their way.

Visiting with Morgan.


Morgan's boss wanted her to make some changes to their website -- a form for their clients to use. When she hit a roadblock, she sent out text to the family she thought could help her, and heard back from Andrew. She said he was a big help.

Getting to visit with Evan.  Drivers license.  Cousins.

I brought Jaden to the back porch and sat in the swing with him. I told him I used to swing Angela in the same place, although it was a different swing. After a while, Evan came and sat with us, and he and I got to have a nice little visit. I got to help him solve his driver's license problem (he didn't know he could renew online) and he was very happy to have that solved.

Barry brought my trunk over to the writing shack for me, and while he was here he put the deadbolt cover in the door. (I'm not really crazy about the pink/green combo, but I'm not offended by it, and pretty soon there will too much stuff on top of it to worry about it.) 

Tyler got up on time this morning and seemed happy. 

Barry and I went on a mini-road trip yesterday. We planned for it, and took advantage of a comparably quiet day to just get off the property together. We drove to the casinos, which isn't anything we really enjoy doing, but with his hurt foot, and the necessity to stay off of it, our options were pretty limited. With that in mind, we made the best of it, and he drove home via some backroads, which always has the benefit of change of scenery. It always causes me to look at life through the eyes of other people, and the homes they live in, and the jobs they have, and the futures they likely envision. It gave us a chance to be quiet together, and to talk when we wanted to. 

Chelsea, Evan, and Jaden came over for dinner last night. Evan wanted us to see that Jaden gives kisses --- sitting in my rocker, Papa watching the news, me standing behind the rocker, talking to Shawn or Tyler --- all of a sudden I heard Evan say, "Nobody saw that!" as he looked up to realize none of us had seen Jaden give him a kiss.

Shutting the writing shack door behind me.
Annette,  favorite thing,  camaraderie. (I asked her what was her favorite event in the sports thing they do.) 
Skyler wanting to come swimming because Faith was here.
Text from Angela.  Excited about her opportunities.
Ceiling in writing shack looks good!
