Hard to believe.

Penelope has been urging me to get her a booster seat and be out of the kid’s seat. Still not really sure how she’s going to like it.

This is really cool.

Wow.

What?! I would have loved to have seen one of these!

Spanish! I make screen shots such as these when I encounter a phrase or word I’m not sure about. I’ll look at it several times a day.

I had planned on going on safari to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, but it was so cloudy I called it off.

New word that I need.

Never too much Ashley.

Girls and I started our day off at Waffle House. They really ate well.

Our next stop was Goodwill on US 29 in Lawrenceville. We found some pretty good stuff for cheap. We didn’t get the mask!

OYB!

The girls had a lot of fun with their new dolls. Penelope also got a super cute bike helmet that she loves. It’s a kitty with ears.

Duolingo has grammar lessons as well as stories you listen and respond to.

Put the stamps on the envelopes.

Garbage guys finally picked up the old box springs. The girls had fun jumping on it. I requested the pick up over two weeks ago. They said today was the day, so Penelope and I moved it out the street yesterday.

I wanted to get the newsletters in the mail so we headed back to the International Village early. Dropped into the Buford Highway Farmers Market for a late lunch.

I love Peru. I read that they have the highest death rate per capita of any Latin American country. Sad.

Our newsletters had been printed. I collated and stuffed the envelopes. The girls played in my office while I did it.

I love to see this.

I told them that after we got the newsletters done we would go to the Church park, which is right beside FBC Doraville. I also mentioned, “And you know girls, the pool will be open now!”

For some reason Penelope has a thing about lifeguards! Not sure why, but she didn’t want to go to any pool that had a lifeguard. I told her that lifeguards are good and that even Kathy, their grandmother, had been a lifeguard.

P decided that if the lifeguard was a girl, that might be ok. We got to the pool and they had TWO girls lifeguards! I introduced myself to them and then the grandgirls. Told them the story that P was afraid of lifeguards. They were very nice to the girls, “We don’t bite!” So we had a fun time swimming.

The water was pretty cold so we didn’t stay in that long. I kept them practicing swimming back and forth, but Everly’s lip would start shivering and I finally made them get out. Dried them off and then went to the playground, which was the original destination.

It really is a nice location. Of course I love it when there are hardly any people there.

Just keep listening. I don’t get uptight about not understanding everything. I just keep picking out words as fast as I can.

Got petrol.

Checked the fluids.

Cleaned windshield.

After getting home, I hung out all the wet stuff. I’ll put it back in the “pool bag” for when we might suddenly need our gear.

Ordered the groceries. I’ll pick them up tomorrow evening. I have until 8PM to get them.

Transported a squirrel. I meant to take it with me to Chamblee.

Signed our refigured tax returns. Everything was already sent in electronically.
