A hot, humid day in Kansas today. Hoping this is the last blast of summer. The cool down arrives tonight. Next week we will be in the 70’s most days. Yay!
I went to the ESU football game this afternoon. My extended family was honored as the ESU Heritage Family of the year. We got to go down on the field at halftime. Unfortunately we couldn’t hear the speaker so not sure what was said about us. There were about 20 of us present.
I was going to go to the tail gate lunch before the game but decided it was too hot. I’m glad I made that decision as just sitting for a little over a quarter of the game was hot enough for me. I left right after the award thingy.
We are getting a bit of rain this evening with more expected. The temperature is starting to drop a bit. I will turn off the AC before I go to bed tonight and open windows. I don’t think we will need it this coming week.
Tomorrow some friends are coming over for a Fall Equinox Ceremony. I will need to do a bit of housecleaning before that. Sometimes I think I need to invite company over more often as that motivates me to clean. I always enjoy our ceremonies and look forward to them.
Monday Sutherland’s is delivering the front porch flooring material. Phil worked on the porch a bit this afternoon. I will be grateful when that project is completed. The new porch has changed the look of the front of the house already. I’m excited to see it finished.
The only other house project on my list for this year is for something to be done to the foundation under the bedroom and dining room. Phil has that on his list to work on when the porch gets done. Next year I may add a privacy fence and a garage but we shall see if I still want them by then.
I’m looking for a house sitter for September 30 to October 3. If you know of someone that does that kind of thing, please let me know. I will have to board the dogs if I can’t find someone.
Next Tuesday I get my flu shot and Covid vaccine. I don’t have anything on my calendar for Wednesday and Thursday in case I need a day or two to recover.
I’m excited about going to CO in another week. It will be a short trip but will be good to get away for a couple of days. I checked today and Trail Ridge Road is still open. Hoping we can drive over to Grand Lake one day while we are there. I think Trail Ridge Road is my favorite road of all. I love being out on the tundra.
Grateful to get to have seen some extended family today, grateful for a break in this heat, and grateful the porch is one step closer to being done.
