Tyler, as I moved the little table, "I would have come and helped you if you had asked me."

Tyler saying, "Good morning,"

Shawn chatting while he was doing the dishes.

Tyler asking, "How was your day?"

Evan and Chelsea came by. (Thank you note for Granddad and Nana.) 

Barry and I spent about an hour in the garden, and enjoyed it. 

He came up with the idea of the two of us building the writing shack, and I like that idea.  So, I'm back on track with my writing shack. 

Heard from Angela. 

Kennedy and I had a nice text-chat. She said my headache wishes worked. 

I fell asleep without any trouble last night. 

Still making good progress in Wonderland. Started training on Maranda for three different payables tasks yesterday, and she was actually able to pay them, so she'll be able to Blue Cross and First Guard all the way to the finish line. I'm not going to authorize her to play the American Express, but if I needed her to, she could.

Shawn made the brownies for me last night. ~ Gene and Martha got here before I got a chance to make them, so while Shawn and I were on the doorstep, too far away for Gene and Martha to hear, I put my arms around his neck and asked if he could make the brownies for me. So sweet --- he put his arms around my neck, and said, "I think I can do that." They were perfect. 

I asked Tyler to get the dishes for me early, and he didn't fuss at all but got right to it. Shawn didn't fuss either, when I asked him to help me rearrange the living room and put things back in the lazy Susan, etc. 

So all was relatively calm, or more to the point, I wasn't stressed out at all. 

The living room filled up, and a couple of the kids remarked there were more people here than we have at Second Sunday Supper. Beverly and Beth laughed together. Chris drove over from Fairhope. John and Kim and Noah came, and Noah and Tyler were glad to see each other. Beth and Rodney came and brought Gene some lima beans. Morgan and Brandon skipped supper and came straight to visit after their 5:30 appointment. JA's work left him alone for a minute. Lots of laughter and easy talk. 

I finished the garden stakes and plan, so that's done. 

Kim said that she has told them she's going to be out of town on these days, re: our trip to DC, so I'm excited now --- feels like a definite.

It is a pretty day. 

Tyler, when I showed him the new kind of cereal I got for him; "I'll be sure to try that," and it is what he tried this morning. 

He gave me his picture order package, which was fun, in that he believed me when I told him I would take care of him. He said that he was giving it to me early because if he did that, he could dress up for the pictures. I got pretty excited about that --- we can put him in his sweetheart dance clothes, because we still don't have a picture of that. 

It would be fun to get both the boys dressed up and take them for pictures. 

Got to text-talk to Brittany yesterday. Andrew had mentioned her winning the election, so I asked about that. She is the secretary of the American Society of Civil Engineers. 

Heard from Angela. She said she had a good day. 

Evan called to see about having dinner with us. He thought he'd get some steaks and marinate them and put them on the grill. He and Chelsea came, and Barry fixed some BarBQ. 

Got to a really good place with the Wonderwork. Cleared almost everything out of the way except for the things that I need to do with Jashuna. I haven't looked at those things for 3 months, so it'll be a great day when that is out of the way. 

The wisteria is blooming and I think it looks beautiful. 

Shawn passed everything, and so did Tyler. Tyler's teachers have a space for making a comment on his progress report, and he had some very nice comments.

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.

She said"very inspiring."

In the Clay Buddies group, a woman re: my post on time management.

Even my cubby holes are not scary this morning.

It was just a great way to wake up on a Saturday morning. Wonderwork was under control. HH Bookkeeping was under control. Laundry was under control. Bathtub was clean. And then I went into my office and noticed that even the cubbyholes weren't screaming at me. 

We expected a sunshiny Saturday, and had planned on getting out in the garden but it rained first thing, muddying things up too much for planting. The rain broke though, and I took my clippers to things that were kind of nagging at me. 

I took a nap in my hammock. 

Barry and I cleaned up the house Sunday morning, and made his juice, and I got to spend some time in the pottery barn.
