I know some people don't like social media and there are bad things to go with it. I truly enjoy the chance to stay up with friends and family that I may only see once every several years.
This week was the Boss's least favorite week of the year. It was fair week and that means he spends a lot of extra time at work (think 8-5 and again 8:30-1 or so). We see very little of him. But it's over for another year and it appears that we may be spending a lot more time at the fair next year, as both girls have been asking repeatedly to join 4-H. As a longtime member, I'm overjoyed to have someone want to experience all the fun. As a mom, I shudder at the extra commitments we will be facing.
We attended the rodeo on Thursday night and walked the exhibition halls and barns on Saturday before the crew played at the carnival. I bribed them with the offer of milkshakes and we headed home.
The garden is giving us fresh peas and the pumpkins and gourds are blooming away.
Unlike my good friend, I am not spending this week on an Alaskan cruise, but the Boss has booked a night away for us. This week celebrates my tenth anniversary at my current job and next week is a major milestone for us, celebrating twenty years of marriage. It doesn't seem possible that it has been that long!
Today was a nice,quiet day. We slept in (the Boss was exhausted) and then went to see the new Star Trek movie together. We stopped by Cosco on the way home and I picked up new sheets and the new Harry Potterbook (which I can't start until I get some of my reading list pared down...) I cleaned out the hair in the shower drain (downfall of having three girls with long hair) and have enjoyed the day reading.
Dinner was enjoyed on the deck, as well as reading and blogging. It's been hot and dry this week and I suspect that we will see some bigfires coming our way soon. As I'm allergic to the smoke, I will be spending my time inside.
Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief!
