I wish I could’ve visited Dad and Grandma’s graves this weekend, but alas… they are always in my thoughts! Plus, I had German bratwurst today in honor of Dad, and Ava picked out Grandma’s favorite salmony-pink geraniums to plant in the little box on the front step.
We are having huge storms tonight. I texted Doug because he is golfing 18 holes on a course that’s right in the path of the storm. 70mph winds with hail predicted. I hope he gets home soon!
I’ve been sitting on eBay for a few minutes trying to get my skincare stuff cheaper. Now that I’m getting OLD, I have such weird skin problems! The one brand that works lately for me is Origins, but it’s pretty spendy. eBay does have it cheaper, so hopefully I’ll win some auctions.
Val and Connor ran around the yard for an hour tonight with Matthew, playing monsters with baseball bats and balloons. It was pretty amusing. I read my mommy-magazines while Ava played with Evie and Therese. I’m so glad we have nice neighbors.
We’re having a garage sale in two weeks, so I sorted through the toys today. Most of the toys I’m selling are ones I’ve gotten at garage sales myself! 
I also have lots of “play clothes…” with holes and stains… but someone always buys them.
Well, tomorrow I hope to finish cleaning the house, bake a rhubarb-peach crisp, and prepare for the retirement party we’re throwing at school.
