It seems like weeks have past since my post on Sunday...not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Monday morning we went and got the oil changed in the van. We dropped it off and walked to the kids' bank to make a deposit of all their change. We continued on to Village Hall to get our new vehicle stickers. We went to return books at the library and check a couple new ones out. We walked back to the dealership and picked up the car. We had a quick lunch before heading for some playtime at Mom and Dad's house. We took it easy and watched George of the Jungle before heading outside to play. The kids were having a great time. Ellie was inspired by all the clubhouse Harry Potter theme and researched science experiments to try out. Tony gladly assisted. We came home and Rob was mowing the lawn. The kids p,aged outside wit Rustine and enjoyed a great summer night.
Tuesday morning we made our list of all the things we needed to accomplish and went to work striking them off. We cleaned up the house. We ran to Costco for some snacks. We ran to the bank to pay the property taxes. Packed for the trip. Rob called to say he wasn't feeling good and thought he would be home around lunchtime, we hoped he didn't pick up Nick's illness. Rob came home and we packed up the car and hoped we could make it without Rob getting sick. Traffic was great and we cruised through. We stopped off at Oink's for a scoop of ice cream, what better way to begin vacation? We got up here in time for dinner and for Ellie to make it to clubhouse for the pie eating contest. Ellie came in 2nd place. Rob went to bed as soon as Ellie was off to clubhouse.
Today was cool and rainy. Ellie went to clubhouse this morning. Nick, Nana, and I went shopping for some food. When we got back, Ellie was home, too. We had lunch and got a plan together. We went down to the beach with a couple buckets to pick up some new rocks to paint. The kids wanted to get some videos for the week and I needed to run into town to pick up a couple things. We were able to rent Nicky Deuce, the movie based on the book Nick and I have been reading. We spent the rest of the afternoon painting rocks. We had sandwiches for dinner and then Ellie was off to clubhouse. Nick and I drove her in the golf cart because it was foggy and misting out.
Sending positive, healing thoughts to the Hakeem Family. Azim and Farheen were classmates of mine and Azim was found dead yesterday at his families store. Visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree

How was Nicky Deuce? I was pretty sure one of the "Sopranos" guys was one of the authors. So sorry about Azim and his brother...so sorry it's been a week of losses for you. Tell Nick I hope he goes to Clubhouse one of these days. When is the carnival? Smooches to all! Love ya, Mom
