2017: Couldn't seem to wake up. Went to KY Lake Mission, ran to Draffenville andBenton to cruise McCully's lots, then back to the church for a potlucklunch. Couldn't quite nap at home. Started reading a book from Norma'sshelf down in the tub room.
2018: Headed up to Fort Collins with Joni navigating. Saw the hospital where Murph y and Billy spent so much time, checked out the campus and walked around dow ntown. Explored a neat collective art gallery, snagged cookies for the way h ome, and checked out a Jerry's Artarama. (Like the art store but mor e of everything!) back to the house for lunch then Ashley and I strolled aro und the lake one more time. Joni accidentally took her sleeping meds along w ith allergy stuffs so she kept busy all afternoon - prepping for supper, mak ing brownies, etc. I finished my watercolor of the back yard while the grill was going and then we ate supper. Had tea with dessert, from a pot and on t he fine cups and saucers. Chatted for a bit and then bed time.
2019: Work day. Kristen and I went and had lunch and debriefed after her trip tothe trade show. Then we treated everyone at the store to ice cream. Ashleyand I headed home and realized that Britt's gift had arrived. The What toExpect books for ourselves and a Bump to Baby journal. Started filling outthe journal a bit.
2020: I was up early, leaving Lily and Ashley snoozing. Got some reading andplanning done for an authority website for the store. Then everyone got upand I made lots of coffees. We chatted for a bit before Craig and Karenheaded on south. Then Ashley got ready and headed into the office for theafternoon, leaving Lily and I to ourselves. We got a walk in, and a coupleof good naps. They're making good progress on the painting (or were till itstarted spitting rain and messed them up). Bath night for Lily andleftovers for supper for everyone. Read a bit before bed. I got Ubuntuinstalled on the laptop, set up the desktop down in the office (and theall-in-one can function as a monitor for the desktop!) and traced out Tobeyand Hassel's wedding portrait painting.
2021: We slept in a bit late. Cloudy so it was a relaxed morning. After breakfastwe headed to town for a short hike up the Junction Creek trail. Got rainedon a bit as we headed back to the car. On to James Ranch for lunch, thenhome. Lily went down quickly for her nap and we all followed shortly. Itrained a bit more and woke me up. After everyone was up we headed out intothe yard. After wandering around for a bit (Ashley had a chicken jump up onher shoulder), I fired up the weedeater and trimmed the yard (still need tofinish mowing). Then it was time for supper and prepping for tomorrow -Bailee flies out early and we're planning on heading straight on to Tim andLisa's after dropping her off.
2023: Up early and prepped to head out. Jackie and Mikel left early for theirflight, Norma and Jim packed and left. The Daniels left as we headed to theocean for another short swim before cleaning up and leaving. Drove slowlytoward the airport and checked out the arboretum to pass some time - it wasreally nice and there was a lot more to explore than we had time for. Lilyloved the bit of the kids garden that we explored. Alas, the flight wasdelayed then canceled. We eventually got our checked carseat back andheaded to a hotel for a couple of nights to wait for Tuesday's flights.
