Family brunch downtown and then back to Lexington for Tucker.........I do think he was glad to see his buddies though back at Barracks.....and of course not being a rat anymore is a good thing too.

First Day of School

Last first day of school for my senior girl.....very sad for me...next year? off to college......
Walking to school with the buddies............it's a little over 1/2 a mile....we will see how that goes.

First day in a new school............5th grade is upper elementary here.....

Quote of the Day.........or year!

"The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. Certainty is missing the point entirely. Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort and letting it be there until some light returns. Faith also means reaching deeply withing for the sense one was born with, the sense, for example, to go for a walk"

Summer Project

It's not quite finished, but it's amazing what you can do with a staple gun and a sewing machine....

simple

the goal for the rest of my summer break is being simple. people keep trying to make my life UNsimple.........I'm going to have to delete them. wish it was that easy. sewed today.....didn't want to, but felt myself overthinking a few things and made the cushion on my reupholstery project as an attempt to change the direction my head was going in and IT WORKED!!! My cushion looks so great and I thwarted my self destructive thoughts. Trying to find great joy in very small things....because that is life.... VERY excited tonight for 3 tv shows that I love coming on....all in a row.........what a rare treat! now ordering chinese food for three hungry kids and myself.......Tucker has my car and will be dropping it off and wants to stay for supper IF we order chinese..........oh the things we do to get him to visit!
