Got the church to set up and study.

Went to Global Mall to check out the Hindu idols.

Argentina beat England. I was happy about this.

Very stiff competition this week and I don’t have much time to study.

Had a fun day with FBC Canton! We had our Red Thread ceremony, I took them to Hibachi Grill, Kitab bookstore, BAPS temple, Al Madina and Global Mall.

Checking on a trip to Waco in the Fall.

Helping Nana find some pants.

The girls and I got to FBCD a little after 9:08 to set up for the show. I’m not getting much time to study. The team has been getting here about fifteen minutes early.

After The Show, I took the team to Pho 24 to eat. I’m glad the girls are with me.

Then to Sweet Hut and CD Tower for Safari.

Then enjoy hanging out with Alexa and her little sister Andrea.

Talked with Tyler about plans for tomorrow.

Had a great day with the team. The kids at the Mission really enjoyed them.

Good times.

Had a good chat with Rick Cunningham. He’s a NoZe Brother friend of mine from Baylor.

I came in second place last week in the Duolingo leagues.

Interesting.

OYB!

Storms blew into Chamblee. They didn’t last too long.

We had an issue with the order I made with the manager at the BHFM today. She made double the amount of food for the group! The leader was very positive and didn’t freak out which I really appreciated. We had a big party at the Mission with the kids this afternoon with the extra food. I made sure the order for tomorrow is perfect.

Still haven’t heard back from Dr. Athena about J’s appointment. Hope it works out soon.

I left Shelley a VM about this FBA opportunity. I told her very clearly that the hard part wasn’t me handling the team but finding out a date that would work for them.

Sent the group leader from FBC Canton links to the Group Photos and for the photos of their team today.

Keep going.

Had a great time with my team from FBC Canton today. The Show went well. Took them on Safari to the BHFM and then to Azalea.

Fun day. Tired.

It’s my birthday! I’m 68. Wow

Trying to help my Mom find some new pants.

I’m watching a movie set in Mexico. It’s starts out in San Miguel de Allende. I’ve been there a couple of times. The first time I listened to the Thriller album nonstop.

Finalized the contract with Servant Life.

Ordered groceries.

Sweet note to me from my Mom. What a blessing she is to me.

Packed up my car in preparation for the team tomorrow morning. I’ll put my Mac Air in before I leave for Doraville.

Thunderstorms and heavy showers blew through.

I’ve received some special notes todayl

I love the Brits, but I’m still pulling for Messi and Argentina. I think Spain will beat France.

Cheryl and I both blew out a candle. It was her birthday yesterday.

Wonderful to have family around!

Love my new flamingos. They’re named Nakuru, Naivasha and Baringo. Three lakes in the Rift Valley of Kenya.

Got the food orders from my team from FBC Canton!

Second place this week.

Saw two of my raccoon friends last night at the feeders.

Vocabulario! Spanish films!

I decided on what I wanted for my birthday. I got a flamingo family and some more Versace Eros cologne. I plan on moving the flamingos around in my yard. Should be a fun bit.

OYB!

Español!

Did my Mom’s laundry.

A couple of bald face hornets took over the hummingbird feeder near my study station outside. I sprayed a q-tip with hornet spray and coated the areas where they were gathering. They didn’t like it. Hope they stay gone.

Deposited checks that I processed yesterday. Thank you, Father.

This is great news.

I took my Mom to her hair and nails appointment.

Big storm blew through. Heavy rain.

Don Cheto!

I’ll come in second place this week. Next week I have teams six days in a row. Not sure if I’ll be able to keep up that kind of effort.

Did some research on the teams coming next week.

Trying to get in touch with J’s psychiatrist. She’s moved to Savannah and is part of a different practice but does Telehealth. I finally figured out how to leave her an email.

Sent Tyler a message about next week. He said he had “about twenty” people coming.

Thunderstorms blew through.

Nana and I transferred some money into the checking account then got in touch with our home insurance company to pay the bill for the next year.

Pushed up into first place this afternoon.

OYB!

I squared away the insurance for the Mission today. I gave my agent the name of the manager for Azalea so she can get the certification in her files.

Went to my dentist today. A piece of the filling had cracked off. He had to cut all the old stuff out and put in the normal silver kind which is a lot harder. I was pretty scared about it all. I was afraid I might have to get an extraction. They are out of network with our new insurance. I’ll have to do some kind of work around.

The girls waited very patiently. I appreciated that.

I set up an appointment for a cleaning for my Mom and me.

I took K and the girls to Perimeter Mall for lunch. I liked this mural at PF Changs.

These were cool.

I was thinking about getting new cologne for my birthday. I sprayed different ones on Penelope’s arm and wrote what they were. I thought it was a pretty funny bit and Penelope just played right along.

I sent my septic tank guy Miles’ contact info. He asked me if I knew an arborist. I just happened to!

I sent Jimmy Kendall (Miles’ dad) an invitation to come over to our house for pizza and ice cream cake on Sunday.

I’ve been so busy the last two mornings that I’ve had to study Spanish in the evening. That’s really rare. Usually, I get up early.

Keep on keeping on.

Nine years ago today, I stopped eating meat.

Always great to have the grandgirls here. Fun for J and K too!

I’m working on our home insurance and the coverage for Azalea.

OYB!

Had Nick from Davis Septic Services come to my house today and work on cleaning the septic tank and clearing the field lines. I made a video for them to tell them “Thanks!”

Hot and sweaty.

Español! I usually study in the morning. Too busy today for that. Worked this evening after K and I took the girls swimming.

Edited the video for David Septic and sent their office manager links to photos and video.

Did some research on the pastors that were coming to visit me.

Studied Cafe Bombay.

Confirmed our appointment with the septic tank people coming tomorrow morning.

Came in second place in the Duolingo leagues last week.
