Sunday, August 28

9:08 a.m.- This is a mid-morning blog entry today.  The six grandchildren and their moms were here, after the Harrison kids spent the night.  We played and read books and ate breakfast while Kenz worked on Kourtney's and Ava's hair.  Now I have a little time before Amber and I head to church service.  I think today the weather is still supposed to be rainy, but now it sounds like it's going to arrive a little later than first expected.  I'm still glad I got the yard mowed yesterday.  Maybe after church service I'll get a haircut.  I also need to replace a doorknob to the door that goes to the basement - that's a good rainy day job.  I could score some essays, but I'd have to muster up some additional brain energy for that.  I think sometime today I'll get those bills written out and mailed off.  It may be a nap day too and maybe some football viewing.


3:08 update - We did go to church service, and I did go to Great Clips for a trim.  I also came home and replaced that doorknob and then Sophie took me for a walk.  Oh, and I also got the bills written out and mailed out....now...about that nap.  And it's hardly rained at all but perhaps its even later to arrive.


10:01 update - Amber and I grilled some hamburgers for supper, and we finished season four of Stranger Things on Netflix.  Unfortunately, these types of "series" always end up being more like a soap opera after the first season.  The Southwells visited, and I helped Amber install a couple of accessories on her e-bike.  Then the night ended with a call from Mercer County Jail.  That means Chase is likely in jail again.  I didn't accept the call, and I'll likely find out more tomorrow.  I'm not even going to attempt to tell Carmen or Cole.  Let them have a good night sleep; no sense having them unable to sleep in worry like I will be now.  I just wish there was something I could do.
