Grandgirls! Taco Veloz! 10.29.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:28 pm  

I was talking with my language guru OBJ about this app.

Preach.

Musician joke.

Interesting.

OYB!

Filled up my windshield spray.

Español!

Everly and I picked up Penelope from the School Bus. We let her change out of her school clothes.

We ate at Taco Veloz.



Everly had just woken up from a two hour nap.

Two-Fisted churro eater. She did share some of it with me. Some.

Then to FBCD to check the mail.

Took us a while to get home. We always have fun. Blasted out a lot of good jams.

Dropped the girls off at Miles’ folk’s house.

Labels! Rest! 10.28.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:53 pm  

Our treasurer has moved to Loganville. Even though he’s notified Paychex, they’re still sending these notifications. The last one I got at my house like it’s supposed to.

Español!

Pruned back the dead flowers from one of my African violets.

OYB!

Big day!

Sent a thank you note to one of our supporters.

I have my newsletter written and copied. Worked on labeling all the envelopes today.

Bought more return envelopes.

When the small labels are bought are used up, I’m going to use stickers instead. They are cheaper.

I’ve had a good rest day. I’m still feeling pretty congested. Stayed inside all day long.

Harry!

Grandgirls! Jon! Azalea! 10.27.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:11 pm  

I thought this was beautiful.

I watched the Braves take it to the Astros last night, 6-2!

OYB!

Cold mornings!

Fantastic clouds this morning.


Girls!

Español!

Vaccination info is always changing. I went to Kroger today to pick up some meds and asked them about the Moderna shot, which I want to get. They told me they don’t mix the vaccines, even though the CDC is saying that’s the way to go to get the most robust antibodies.

My little sweetheart!

The clouds this morning just kept blowing me away! This set is about an hour later.

Deposited checks.

Mas!

I love Escher’s use of tessellation.

This cloud almost looked like it had feathers.

Went to Kroger for meds and bananas.

I was a bit early for lunch with Jon, so Everly and I went to the Dollar Tree.

Interesting.

It was great to see my buddy, Jon Paul. He’s such a blessing to me.

Must be a really big truck!

I picked Penelope up at the bus stop. I thought her art today was super good.

It’s from her Spanish special class once a week. “Comedor” means dining room.

We had some drama when P got home due to her water bottle leaking. We had to take some of the papers out and get them dried off. I accidentally tore one of them as I was trying to fix it (typical for me!), man, was Penelope upset! I got everything dried off and repaired and in the end all was right with the world. Amen.

Everly got this “air dry clay” set at the Dollar Tree. It was a real mess. Fortunately, came off with water pretty easily.

Helped the kids with their homework.


I worked with all these kids by myself. It’s challenging.

Harry!

Terrible traffic coming home. Welcome to Atlanta.

Grandgirls! Azalea! 10.26.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:17 pm  

Preach.

I dig this.

Crazy talk. And they’re almost all minorities.

Teehee.

So true.

One of my favorite artists.

OYB!

Español!

Looking forward to this!

Sunrise clouds.

Bands of golden light.

My girls and my new blue jacket!

Adelante!

Windy and chilly! Up to 21 mph!

Jesse and Everly playing with one of the toys from the birthday party. I think there was a whale inside it.

She had fun playing with the ball inside. She basically just put the ball in the hoop, which was fine with me.

Swept off the deck.

I got her to take a nap for about 1.5 hours.

Went by my office to check the mail. Also dropped off the newsletters.

Helped the kids at the mission. It was pretty cold outside. A LOT colder to come!

So many beautiful scenes that the grandgirls just take for granted.

Harry!

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery -891- “Skill and Will.”

Rev up your passion and your abilities!

Podcast! Newsletter! Primal! 10.25.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:51 pm  

This sounds promising.

BOO!

Wow!

How about that!?

Español!

Wrote my newsletter.

Beauty!

Picked up Thai for the family.

I’ve enjoyed playing Primal. It’s set about 100,000 years ago with primitive tribal structures. They even created three languages for this!


Laid out this month’s edition.

Put it on my hard drive.

I recorded an edition of Verbal Surgery called, “Sure Cure.” Put it in my ready to release or “in the can” folder.

Sewed a couple of rips in my comforter.

J’s Birthday! Nana! Nagano! 10.24.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:14 pm  

Funny.

Classic.

OYB!

J’s birthday through the years!


I called Nana today.

We talked about cutting dates for when she comes to visit. Here are the dates that school will be out.

Ordered groceries.

Uno dia mas.

Beautiful.

Looking into the booster shots. Moderna seems to be the vaccination of choice. Map of where it’s available in my area.

We had a chilled birthday for J! I went to Naganos to bring back Japanese food for us.

Hazy.

Anthony! Yard Work! Cleaning! 10.23.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:00 pm  

A friend of mine who’s a sailor made a reference to this. I learned some things.

Much better.

Indeed.

OYB!

Leaves hanging on a spider web.

That’s a lotta days, yo.

Great talk with my buddy Anthony who just completed his sailor’s course. That took a lot of work!

I had a weird diet today. Coffee/hot chocolate, Kachava banana smoothie, and Oreo ice cream cake with bananas and peanuts. So good. So good for me? Nah.

Let my carnivorous plants get some much needed sunlight.

Blew the garage, driveway and deck.

Beauty day.

Vacuumed the house.

After I use the machine, I take it completely apart and spray it clean with my water hose set to “jet.” Then sun dry.

Cleaned and refilled the birdbaths.

Raked and swept my outside carpet.

Cleaned out the St. Francis shrine.

Cleaned the glass doors.

I’ve enjoyed playing Far Cry Primal. The graphics are so beautiful. I ride a saber tooth tiger in the game.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Navigation Station.”

Grandgirls! J’s Pre-Birthday Party! 10.22.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:41 pm  

Beauty!

I’ve started working on chapter titles for my new book Story Tim Too.

OYB!

Mild day.

Beauty.

I have a bit of a cold. Didn’t have the strength to do the tutor time. My throat hurts.

Always great to see my girls! Everly’s been a bit sick too.

Jessi’s birthday is on the 24th. Everly helped me get decorations yesterday. This morning we wrapped a bunch of presents for the party.

Español!

We took Jessi out for lunch at El Torrero.

We went to look for a jacket for Jessi. I got a jacket for Miles and shoes for Ashley as well.

Our insurance is partnering with Walgreens.

Big 700 tomorrow on Duolingo.

Party!

Penelope liked the nail polish I used on Everly. I gave her the Salon de Pop Pop treatment today. How about my new jeans?

Grandgirls! Azalea! 10.21.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:14 pm  

I always find Seth Godin’s blog worthwhile.

I will get a booster. Still need to do more research on what kind. I had the Johnson and Johnson shot. Now there’s some thought that perhaps taking the other type of shot might be better. Mix and match for a more robust effect against the virus.

I’ve experienced this on a number of items.

OYB!

Cloudy with some sprinkles today.
\

I continue to teach the kids on Fridays, although the Moms really just didn’t have the time nor interest, so I don’t have students to teach ESL to.

Love my girls!

Ashley is such a blessing!

Beautiful sunrise!

As opposed to your fantasy?

Always a handy word!

My buddy Anthony Jacquin lives in this district of England and has been to this book store.

I worked on Everly’s finger and toenails this morning. I painted them with this super-sparkly nail polish.


I used the fans to dry the nails rapidly.

I got some things for Jessi’s birthday party.

We went to Dollar Tree to pick up decorations and gifts for the party.

Then to Goodwill for toys and shoes. And over to Hot and Cold for lunch. The topper is always the fried doughnuts. We dip them in the vanilla or chocolate puddings. Everly likes both. I stick to vanilla.

Harry!

Español!

We took Penelope over to the Buford Highway Farmers Market for chicken fingers, mac and cheese and rice.

Helped the kids with their homework.

Tasfia is a good friend of Penelope and Everly. Today, the grandgirls came over and asked me, “Pop Pop, Tasfia needs your help.” Each of them came separately and give me that message. She was too shy to came over to the table with the other kids, so I came over to where she was sitting on this low wall with Everly.

Brought home some potato samosas for K.

Everly! Shoes! Azalea! Podcast! 10.20.21

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:25 pm  

Wowzers!

OYB!


Love my girls!

Great to have my little partner with me!

Deposited checks!

Went by Walmart to pick up some new jeans, shoes and fruit.

She loves climbing!

Español!

Gassed up car and checked levels.

Cerca!

Everly and I had Vietnamese food today.

Yum!

Cool!

The reception committee for Penelope!

Helped the kids with their homework.

I liked this drawing by one of the mission kids.

Cirrus!

Penelope loves unicorns!

I decided to get a water measurer for my Ficus. It’s really hard to tell how dry the soil is and it does not like getting too wet.

Car codes.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Want to Care.” So good!


Harry!

Checked the mail at the office.
