  • Had to take all day cell phone access away from S.  She wasn't happy to say the least but she'll get over it.  Surely fixing my mistake is better for her in the long run.
  • Hard boiled some eggs for a breakfast protein source I can stomach.
  • Cleaned up the camper for a little less chaotic feeling in here.  "Tiny house" living makes staying organized and clean SO much more important.
  • Shipped out 6 boxes of Happywood items....how I wish this business were done and over!
  • Quick trip to the library but no one was in the mood to check out books.
  • The kids are getting their fair projects finished up to turn in on Saturday.
  • Lasagna for dinner - everyone's favorite!
Sunny and only a tad chilly.

  • Made the most delish Garden Veggie soup with nearly all organic veggies.
  • Fed the hens and gave them an extra tomato from the garden.
  • An ambulance showed up next door this morning but didn't take anyone away.
  • Finished a few more sections of my khanacademy.org class on 1900-Present history.  Great stuff about World War 1.  Perhaps this explains why my Belgian ancestors came to the U.S. when they did?
  • Worked on Happywood crap.  So tired of woodworking for other people, though I'd love to do some for our house.
  • Airstrikes begin again in Baghdad...
Rainy and chilly today.
A few pics of Geoff, Heather and Ethan at the first ever Invictus Games in London.  They came home yesterday, Geoff with a bronze medal.  What a whirlwind it must have been.  So thrilled for them!
