The guests that arrived last night are very nice. It is a daughter and her father. They are volunteering on a dig site in Council Grove. This is the 12th year they have done this hobby together. Grandma stays home with the daughter’s husband and two kids as neither the grandma or husband enjoy their hobby. We sat out in the swings last night and enjoyed the sunset and visited.
Had two more inquires about stays this morning. One stay is for April, 2019. Thinking it is for the Glass Blown Open dates which haven’t been announced yet. One is for next weekend. Haven’t got a confirmation from either yet. The one for next weekend have a dog they want to bring. They said it would sleep in their truck. Not sure that will work if it is as hot as it is supposed to get. Will see how this one turns out.
Going into town this afternoon to do my errands and get a haircut. Tomorrow I will need to go back into Emporia as I am meeting a friend for lunch. Wednesday evening I am going to Pioneer Bluffs to help with an event there. Thursday I am going to KC to have lunch with two dear friends. Friday six new guests check-in. What happened to the empty space I was going to have this week?
Next week is busy too as I have to go to Topeka Monday for my thyroid ultrasound, I have my nuclear heart stress test Wednesday, and a meeting at Pioneer Bluffs on Thursday afternoon as well as a meeting about Medicare Thursday evening. Maybe July will be less busy!
I went into Emporia yesterday to get groceries. My guests ended up leaving around 11:00 so had three free hours and got that chore over with. Didn’t know if I could leave the guests checking-in yesterday or not and decided to take advantage of the free time. Luckily they are easy people and it will be no problem leaving them in the house alone this week. They will be coming and going to their dig site all week.
Finished making a set of tea towels. Just need to get them pressed and tied. Have several more sets stamped it the urge hits for me to work on them. I enjoy making them but am having some trouble with my eyes. If I forget to take a break I have trouble seeing far away for a bit when I do stop. Threading the needle is a challenge too! It is hell to get old sometimes.
Need to make a Costco list for Thursday. If I don’t write out a list I have little chance of remembering what I wanted to get. Even with a list I still forget things sometimes. My memory sure isn’t what it used to be.
I dropped my iPad case and broke off a little piece of it. Now my iPad keeps slipping out of the case that contains my keyboard. Going to have to figure out how to tape it on or something. Good news is my iPad didn’t crack when I dropped it. The problem is the corner that broke is the corner that has the buttons on my iPad I need access to.
Still negotiating with my neighbor about adding rock to the driveway. He wanted me to pay half but he gets his whole driveway done and I only get the bottom half of the driveway we share done. I ask him today if they could do my half too and if so I would pay half. He still owes me money for trash and hay. He seems to forget about that!
Nice to have my house clean and nothing that needs done today. I reset the guests bedroom this morning so that task is done. Maybe I will take the next couple of hours and “be”. I am forgetting how important that is to my soul.
Grateful for another set of wonderful guests, grateful for time to “be”, and grateful my grandmother taught me how to embroidery. I think of her often when I am making the tea towels.
