Busy Weekend

We were in town this weekend with no real plans but it still ended up being busy. Today we began the day at church. We came home and the kids played outside and washed my car before the storm blew in. That is exactly what happened - dark skies and wind. We had lunch and then the kids went back out to play before we went to Mom and Dad's for dinner. Mom made a garlicky summer salad and topical fruit salad and we ordered from Dengeo's. The kids had fun playing with Tony and Matteo. We came home and they played a bit longer before coming in to shower and get ready for bed. Rob and I watched the olympic trials and relaxed.

Yesterday we got an early start. We began the day at the library to pick up a couple books we had on hold and get a couple more. We headed north to make a donation drop at Habitat Re-Store - all the leftovers from the garage sale that Salvation Army wouldn't take. We had some good luck at the thrift stores finding a car seat for Jo, a jumper for Mom's house for Matteo, a bike for Nick, some clothes and other things. We went to Bass Pro Shop as long as we were up that way and the kids got to practice their archery and paint a bear claw. We lucked into Radio Disney being at the mall and the kids got to dance and sing. They each won prizes...Ellie won a gift card to the Disney store. We did a bit of shopping at the mall before heading back home. We hit Mariano's on the way home to pick up some produce, dinner and gelato. If you go to Mariano's try the strawberry balsamic paired with their pistachio - delish. We came home and the kids played outside. We had dinner and then got the kids cleaned up and into bed.

Friday night we did some gardening. I needed to extend our cucumber trellis a couple more feet because they have crawled all the way up the 5' one. Rob moved the yellow jacket nest but they still keep coming back. We picked our first cucumber today and it was great. Can't wait until the peppers and tomatoes are ready, too. I will be able to make a salad right from our yard.

I think that about covers it. My body aches a bit. Whitney told me I have two more appointments available but we have scheduled them for 2 weeks from now so we can track my progress alone. Visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree
