Labor Day

Gracious it was a LABOR day around here...not what we had planned (well, who am I kidding, we didn't really have any plans). Nevertheless, a broken pipe was repaired and a tree was moved. We only thought we knew where the water/sewer lines ran when we planted our trees...so a tree found a new home today, too! In case you are wondering that  is a whole lot of digging around here!

Addition to the family...

Soooooooo excited. Our niece and her husband and two children are welcoming another little one into the family.

My math says 2+2=5.

Annnnnnnd we are having another girl. 

Oh the excitement. January 2019 we will welcome Baby M. There was a gender reveal at the farm last night. It was our first such type of gathering and all very exciting!

This isn't the best picture but it's all I have since we were video calling with the NE family so they could be in on the reveal.

So very thankful this child likes loves to read!

She was here; they were here. Oh what a time we had. Surprise visits are most awesome...

This girl had her first Air Show experience. It was hot but she took it all in and enjoyed the day.

What's not to like about having lunch with your daddy?

She sure had fun that's for sure!

Oh the mundaneness of everyday life

It's Monday and not so long ago it was a new month so there is a new "TO DO " list. Of course there are some carryovers from last month(oh who am I kidding there are some carryovers from January still looming). But anywho we've got a few of the newer things scheduled and I have started on some of the other tasks I've been shelving. I mean it is the EIGHTH month of this year already... I am rather behind on many fronts and must make a bigger dent int getting my "TO DO" list knocked out. If I am honest I have been slacking especially in the appointment making department. Sometimes living in retirement mode is not as motivating as I need it to be. That "aah it can wait there is no hurry" concept doesn't help in all situations!

While I love list making sometimes they really do make me feel quite inadequate. They always start as a positive for me but then somehow a bit of guilt creeps in when I fail to accomplish the said list. But I still make them even when I am not quite as successful as I would like. 

I'm off to make BLTs for dinner this evening. Love home grown tomato season.
