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.

Took the girls to Global Mall to meet up with the team from Alabama. Ben Birdsong introduced me to Zach and Ben from A2 and the Collective church. We ate a Cafe Bombay.

Set up an appointment with my dentist to check on my cracked tooth on Wednesday.

Took them to the Ganesha Temple in Global Mall.

Then to Al Madina and the Kitab book store.

We also visited the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

We had a strong storm pass through while we were at CD Tower.

Keep going.

I put the vacuum cleaner back together after all the parts had dried out.

Ordered groceries!

Not quite as hot.

Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony!

Didn’t know this British slang.

Coordinating a vision trip with Ben Birdsong and three pastor friends of his for tomorrow.

Deposited checks.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Spin to Win.” Uploaded the file to my server and put it on Facebook.

Gassed up my car and checked the fluids.

Went to Walmart and Thai Sweet Basil to get food for the family.

I’ll come in second place this week in the leagues.

I bought a new wifi extender for the northern part of our house.

Ukraine is putting a serious hurt on Russia.

I was thinking about weedwhacking the yard. Decided not to because of the heat.

Good chat with my buddy, Anthony!

Cleaned the birdbaths in my yard and refilled the feeders.

Mixed up hummingbird solution. Cleaned the feeders with my new brushes, filled and hung them up.

Cleaned the area around my St. Francis shrine.

Swept my outdoor carpet.

Trimmed branches from my eleagnis plant.

Put the foam on the mirror and put it in its frame. Drilled holes in the frame so I could attach the backing of the mirror to it with screws.

Cleaned the glass on the front door.

Swept the kitchen and laundry room.

Vacuumed the house. Cleaned the filter with one of my new brushes.

Big thunderstorms rolled just past us.

Keep going. I should come in second this week.

Mileage!

Thursday night we had our internet and TV go out. Friday morning Comcast came to fix it. We checked the wiring and I put the cables back up and secured the ceiling sheet.

Español!

K and I took the girls over to LT and then to Jimmy and Cheryl’s house on Thursday afternoon.

So hot!

Hidden Codices book.

OYB!

Going to get even hotter.

Took Nana to get her hair done. Then picked up Always Fresh for lunch.

Don’t stop.

I told the grandgirls that Penelope’s new toothbrush had 85% more cleaning power—than a stick! I pointed to the super tiny print below the picture as if that’s what it said. I Iaughed and laughed.

I’m glad that J found some more clips for her hearing aid in the box the device came in.

We get a kick out of the photos Facebook shows me. This shot is from 2012.

OYB!

Got some brushes to clean my hummingbird feeders.

K and J came with me to Fernbank to see the new T. Rex exhibit. It was awesome.

Great to have the family and dinosaurs together.

J worked on my iPhone battery for me.

I love this poem. I was thinking about it today.

Did some research on the show at Stone Mountain. Perfect time to go. Lot of people, but not overly crowded.

Vocabulario!

Just. Keep. Going.

Did I mention it’s hot?

I took PE and K to the Mtn Pk Aquatic Center this afternoon. It was fun, but we’re tired.

Drying J’s hearing aid.

OYB!

Español!

Still trying to plan when we go see the T. Rex exhibit.

Took Nana to the eye doctor. She seems to holding her own.

Hard to keep up with so many teams.

Vocabulario!

It’s nearing my birthday. I enjoy studying people born on July 12th. Like Modigliani.

70 AD on my birthday.

OYB!

My tree guys were at my house by 7:30 AM working hard. They took down seven trees in all. They put all the tree trunks in my recycle area.

They also took down the dog fence that we never used once. Easy for that bobcat to tear out.

The girls and I stopped at QT on the way to FBCD.

On Safari to CD Tower.

I put all my equipment up and cleaned the room after the Show this afternoon. I’m still leaving the chairs and tables in presentation mode.

I made copies of the newsletters. The girls helped me stuff the envelopes. I went to the PO to get stamps. I put them on the envelopes and mailed them while the girls spent time at Azalea with their friends.

After working with the teams, I came home and watered my plants.

I noticed a cell phone while I was in the office at the church making copies of my newsletter. I let the Pastor know.

I changed K’s appointment for her lung doctor.

I had a good time with the team from Maxwell Ministries, SC today. I took them to eat at the BHFM.

Then to CD Tower and the Mission.

Keep going!

I looked up GriefShare groups for a friend of mine in Georgetown, TX who recently lost her husband.

Busy day with a team and the tree cutters!
