The start of a new week working with the girls. Except this was the beginning of a new year for just Everly and me. Seeing that we pick up Penelope around 2:30 PM, I still get to hang with them both for a good bit of time.

Sure do love these girls!

Don’t remember any meat legends per se.

Huh.

Everly and I were working on recognition of letters, E and e in particular on the signs around a shopping mall. While there, we saw this Imperial Moth. Fabulous.

I’m interested in stuff like this. My English friend Anthony said this is not in standard usage today.

Muchos dias en Español!

OYB!

Scratch!

Everly and I made banana smoothies with Ka’chava this morning.

This was an ice cream lollypop.

She cleaned up and organized her work station.

Mas y mas.

I’m having her practice drawing and manipulating the markers.

This is me.

There are 88 sets of stories on Duolingo. Most of them have four stories each. I finished them all this morning. Although Duolingo just added some intermediate stories recently that I’ll go back and do starting tomorrow.

I trimmed Everly’s bangs this morning. I’m definitely getting better at it.

Filled out my mileage report.

Everly and I ate lunch at the Buford Highway Farmers Market, then went to Huntley Hills Elementary School to pick up Penelope. It was my first day to do that job. I was there about an hour early.

We joke around a lot. I told her this was my new hat. Not sure where she got it from.

We were SO GLAD to have Penelope back with us!

Everly just hugged and hugged her. They stood like that at least two minutes. It was so touching. I felt the same way. She’s one of my best friends.

I brought her food back from our outing. She devoured her mac and cheese in particular. Her class eats lunch at 10:30 AM!

I was in Ashley’s bedroom and the fan didn’t seem to be blowing any air. It was so dirty that the air couldn’t get through it. I took it completely apart and cleaned it in the bathtub. It blasts air now. Amen.

Of course I got the bathtub filthy when I did that. Then had to clean the tub. It didn’t drain very well so I plunged it and pulled out gobs of hair. Pretty gross, but needed doing.

Did some research then ordered this on Amazon. I’ll work on getting the drains working in a couple of days.

I had a call from Chester of One Heart Church who wanted to meet up. I suggested this place. It’s very good, even for vegetarians.

While I was at Azalea, I talked to some of the kids as to when their bus got back home and when their homework would really start. They get there around 2:45 PM. I’ll probably start helping the kids around 3:00 PM to give them a chance to get a bite to eat and let me feed my kids. Also talked about distributing school supplies. I’ll probably do that for several days. They always need stuff.

Escuché Harry.

Gassed up my car and checked fluid levels.

Stopped by my treasurer’s house to drop off the financial report that Ashley compiles.
