Tuesday, July 7

6:05 a.m. - Yesterday's highlight was driving to Matherville to visit with Laura Hozak and her husband.  She had a lot of information she wanted to share and donate about The Reynolds Press as well as artifacts from Reynolds High School.  It was a lot of fun, and there are a bunch of items to digest and determine how to use.  After that, I went back to IC Elementary and checked on Mrs. Olson and the work she was doing with her Pre-K classroom.  I've got a feeling Pre-K is going to occupy a lot of my time this coming school year.  I need to finish off some accounting stuff from the 25-26 school year and then drop off the information to the business office at the district office.  Then it was back home for a bit before going to Matherville and watching softball.  And at the end of the night, USA lost to Belgium in the World Cup.  Now I'll have to pick another team to route for. 

Today I'm going to Tipton to finally drop off a couple artifacts that belong with their historical society.  Then it's back to the office.  Then I'm not sure what will be featured for the day.

Monday, July 6

5:14 a.m. - Yesterday featured Caleb's birthday party.  Mom joined Amber and me in driving down to Fort Madison to help him celebrate.  He sure seemed to enjoy it.  We stopped by the casino on our way back and slipped some coin in the slot machines - no winners.  It was a long day, and we got back around 9 p.m. - just in time to watch the second half of England getting a World Cup win over Mexico.  Earlier in the day I did get in my hour of exercise, but I ate too much food throughout the day.  I really need to get to slimming down.  Too much of my life involves eating just to be social or to be appreciative of others that have made food for a meal.  

Today I'm headed to Matherville to meet with someone who has some Rockridge History artifacts.  Then I'm going to he to the IC Elementary office.  I hope it's a quiet day.  Tonight, USA plays Belgium.

Sunday, July 5, 2026

5:44 a.m. - Yesterday was July 4th, which is bittersweet for me.  Even though, we'll be going on vacation at the end of the month, July 4th seems to point towards the end of summer vacation.  June is winding down, but July is winding up towards August and the first day of school, which is mid-August.  

The day started out with Amber and I riding to Shawn's to sit and chat for a bit.  He and Tony were having what apparently is a traditional cigar, but we also saw Tucker and Carrie (and Mary and Chloe).  Once back home, we tried to prep for the party.  Amber invited friends and family to have a pool day and have some food - burgers, brats, and the fixings.  The pool didn't cooperate very well as the rains the night before caused the pool motor to not be operational.  We made the best of it by using the robot and surging ahead.  I started cooking on the grill around noon, and we ended up with a house full of folks.  The sun did eventually arrive and stayed for a nice afternoon for pool time. After everyone left, we cleaned up all the stuff around the pool and in the house and watched television until we went to bed.  

Today....I think the only thing official is Caleb's party, which is at 5 p.m. in Fort Madison.  Mom is going to go with us, and we'll be stopping by the casino on the way home, I'm sure.  I do need to get my exercise in today, but I'm not sure how.
