I'm going to try once a week, on Sunday, to see where that takes me. This blog is no longer really about being a widow and is usually just a light look into my world (small as it is). I don't really have a circle of friends, more like a dot! A few friends and a million acquaintances. But living with four others does not allow for loneliness. Earplugs at times.
None of us has suffered a bout with Covid and here on the West Coast we still mask in indoor public spaces. We've dined outdoors a few times and I usually wear my mask outdoors (our Covid cases in Oregon keep going up and are hitting closer to home).
We've avoided the severe heat although it is predicted for next week. We are lucky enough to have a/c in each bedroom so sleeping has not been interrupted. There is also one in the living room which we have only used once.
Mr. 11.5 now has a permanent man voice. He's almost 5'11". More of a teenager than a kid but still enjoys hanging with his brother. Mr. 8.5 is still a hoot. They all spent two weeks in rural Montana with Jesse's side of the family, on ten acres in a town of 1,000. BB guns, real guns, horseback riding, tubing a shallow river and being with cousins. I enjoyed being able to sit in the living room or the front patio to do my computer reading. Accomplished a few tasks that were nagging at me.
Welcome back! I adore the view from your chair on the patio. Kate's work I presume?
ReplyDeleteKate and Jesse both. Wonderful for birds (they made a fountain for drinking and bird baths). We face the West so it is cool out there until about 3pm! No swans although we do have a duck couple who visit every spring to have their babies.
DeleteGood to see you're back. Looks like a fun time for all.
ReplyDeleteDespite the current heat wave, we are having FUN. They go floating down a local river once a week (4 hour float) and we have a pool. I bought some bubble blowing items and have a great recipe for monster bubbles. And each bedroom has an air conditioner!
