Edited the team video I shot yesterday and sent the team leader the Thank You email which includes the photos and the video I shot.

Penelope is my favorite lefty!
Went to Stone Mountain around 11:00 AM. Big line! I was there for about five minutes and they opened a “sticker” line, which I have, and I zoomed passed everyone. Yeah, Baby.
Hot, but not too bad this morning.
Don Cheto.
Went to Stone Mountain to record Verbal Surgery “Jump!” It’s a good one.
Went to Crazy River with K. She really enjoys it. It’s fun. I also swam four lengths in the lap pool.
Updated the registration for one of our websites. Sometime I think this stuff is a scam.
I like the way Seth Godin thinks.

Got to FBC Doraville right at 9:00 AM. That’s plenty of time to set up for The Show. It usually takes me less than 45 minutes to complete.
Got a text from Ann to help her with her garbage. That sounds like it could become a regular job. Audible groan.
Listened to Don Cheto while driving home. Tried to call my Mom and my brother, Jim.
It was really hot today.
I’ll come in #2 this week. It’s what I thought would happen.
I had a great time working with my team from Christ Church, Birmingham, AL today. I like working with family teams. The new missions minister also came with one other lady.
We had a good group of kids from the mission.
After working with the team, I went back to the church to strike the set and put the Fellowship Hall like I found it. Actually, better than I found it.
Cleaned and refilled my hummingbird feeders. I have 4.
Cleaned and refilled my birdbaths.
Watered my outdoor plants.
I cut part of a handkerchief and hot glued it onto the interior top of my hat. I didn’t like the feel of the straw on my head. Softer now. I also worked on shaping my hat. I spray it with water lightly and bend it into the shape I want. I can’t get over how it is exactly what I wanted!
Everly had a bracelet that broke. She asked me to fix it. I tried hot glue but ended up sewing it. I put it in her cupholder until I see her on Monday.
Fixed the blood pressure machine for K. It needed new batteries.
A shot of part of my desk.
I saw this on the sidewalk.
I went to see Deadpool and Wolverine again. This time I went to one of their best theaters and the sound was perfect. Such a great experience.
Called Dr. Abraham’s office again to try and straighten out a bill we got.
WX!
Listened to Don Cheto while I rode my bike 12.40 miles.
While I was on my ride, I noticed an area of sidewalk that was soaked with water. I’ve seen that scenario a few times. It always means that there is a leaking water main nearby. I wrote a note to the neighbor telling them that they needed to call the city about the situation.
Talked to my Mom. That’s always good.
I sprayed the pink magnolia tree at the mission with a fungicide again. It has suffered a lot because of that white powder mildew fungus.
Picked up the girls at the bus. I liked this “All About Me” art project Everly did.
We got Chic-fil-a and ate at my office. Love these little sweethearts!
Got gas at QT on the way home. $2.78! Wow. Three miles south on the same road in Chamblee it’s $3.45.
When I checked my oil yesterday, it looked a little low. After sitting, it was just fine. Way cooler in my garage than in the full sun at the gas station!

I got in touch with the Missions Minister at Christ Church in Birmingham, AL this morning. Looks like they’re bringing a bigger group. Seven is always better than just three, although I still should have taken them around.
Called Dr. Abraham’s office to check on a bill we got recently. The doctor we had been seeing is starting his own practice.
I replaced my carabiner for my key chain today. They wear out over time.
Don Cheto.
Listened to his podcast while I biked 7.79 miles. I’m still trying to figure out my route if I want to bike for about an hour. I usually go around 1.5 hours, but that’s a lot before my work day gets going. I’ll do the longer distances when I’m not going into Chamblee.
I think these guys do a good job.
I worked on putting the magnets that I cut to size on the prayer cards while I waited for my juevos rancheros.
I also went to the Post Office. I weighed an envelope with a single sheet of paper, a return envelope and the family card with a magnet on it. It came in at .80 oz. Which is just right for one stamp. One less thing to worry about.
I got an update on Ashley’s car.
I did way more exercise than this. We went swimming frequently as well as walking long distances. Now that I have my mornings back again, I’ll be exercising a lot more.
Deposited checks. Thank you, Yeshua. I really appreciate it.
Shared a contact with Ashley and Miles.
Had a good chat with my Mom. Always a blessing.

There’s been a junked bike near the entrance of our subdivision. After I had my bike ride, I rolled that junker up to my house. Got my tools and took it apart and put it in my dumpster.
Ash had a problem with her Jeep this morning. Hope it’s nothing major.
Listened to Don Cheto while I rode my bike.
Talked with my Mom on the way to work. Always good.
I saw my partner Virginia Cosgrove at the mission. She told me that she’ll be retiring in the Fall. Hated to hear that. She’s been a great leader of her ministry.
I had fun handing out popsicles to the kids and parents. First day back to school!
Long way from Canada.
Love my girls!
Gassed up my car on the way home. Checked the oil. It was down to the last 1/4. I’ll put some in tomorrow. The car was super hot to work with at the gas station.
Back on track to be #2 again this week. Duolingo really only tracks if you’re in the top three.

Went to Stone Mountain to record a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Leash On Life.” I bought a new parking pass on the way in.
Don Cheto!
Ordered groceries.
K and I had fun at the Lazy River park. We got there just as it was opening. WAY fewer people then.
We picked up Thai food on the way home.
I started working on the TeamWhirlwind.com site. I got on the WordPress page but it looks like Ashley edited it all on her Mac. Fortunately, I’m in the Mac environment as well, so I should be able to edit it and put it back on WordPress. I just need her to send me the files.
Cleaned the vacuum cleaner parts. Works a lot better when it’s clean.

Last early arrival to the Mission until the girl’s Fall break.
I had eight weeks of Super Summer School.
I’ve enjoyed these mornings with us all together.
Wow.
Everly was upset this morning because she was afraid of riding the bus on Monday morning. She was afraid that she and Penelope might be dropped off at the wrong school. I drew a diagram to help her understand bus routes.
Alexa was ready to work, so Penelope did too, somewhat reluctantly.
Penelope and Alexa have become very good friends over the Summer. P called her her “Best Friend” this morning.
Larry was still at the 2s.
I had Everly read me my newsletter for this month. How many kids can do that before 1st grade even starts? She could read or sound out most of the words.
After studying, I let the kids play. I worked on scrubbing the mission. I like things tidy and clean.
My partner Virginia Cosgrove had a mammoth school supply distribution yesterday. She told me last week that I should come with the girls on Friday to pick up what they needed. It was like going to a school supply store, but everything was free. What a blessing.
I met my buddy Ben Birdsong for lunch. We went to the airport to eat. He’s a great friend.
Hot.
Don Cheto.
I thought this was an interesting request.
This is the final week of the tournament.
The new prayer cards came in today.
