Happy birthday to my son Jason. I can’t believe you are 42 years old. It seems like it has been only 20 years or so since you were born. I’m very proud of the man you have become.
I took Ellexia swimming at the Cottonwood Falls pool this afternoon. I rarely go swimming but for some reason I was in the mood to do so and needed a swimming buddy. I drove into Emporia and picked her up. We had a really good time swimming. The pool has a slide which she loved and she even went off the diving board several times. We stopped for Subway on the way back to my house. She is now covered under a blanket on the couch downstairs watching a movie. I’m thinking she just might fall asleep as she was yawning on the way home. She is thinking about spending the night but hasn’t decided yet.
Kathy should be home around 7:00 tonight. Bet she will be tired of driving for a bit. It takes over 20 hours of driving time to get here from CT. Will be good to see her.
I finally slept last night. I got up this morning around 7:00 and by 9:00 I was tired again so went back to bed for a couple more hours. When I crash I sleep lots! Sure wish I could scatter out my sleep. Grateful for whenever it comes. Grateful I don’t work and had no place I needed to be this morning so I could sleep some more.
It has turned summer here. It is over 90 again today and the forecast calls for more of the same for the next 10 days. Nicole picked one of the hottest weeks of the year to work on her house next week. We will take it slow and easy if needed and get that job done regardless of the heat. I bet we can find some distractions of some sort if we need to cool off once in a while. She wants to get a new vehicle next week.
I need to gather some rocks and put them under my chicken fence. They have dug some holes and I’m afraid something can get into the pen. If I don’t get the holes filled in the chickens will eventually dig a way for themselves to get out. If they do they will quickly become dinner for Legend. I have a big pile of small rocks I can use if I can get some chipped out. It has been there for so long the rocks have stuck together.
Hot, lazy day on the prairie today. Felt good to move my body in the water. Summertime at its best! All is well!
