Studied languages!

Great to have the girls come for a visit.

Everly was crashed when she came over.

We had fun at Goodwill, which is our favorite rainy day option. Super chill place with lots of fun stuff to play with.

I’m always looking for drums for our Golden Box of Jams for the teams.

I liked this sculpture.

Everly liked my coffee cup. She spent a lot of time sniffing it.


There were only a couple of drops left in it.
She thought this mask was fun.

After I took the girls home, I went to FBC Doraville to set up for The Show. We have a small group of ladies who are coming to go on Safari with us.

Got gas on the way home. Pretty cheap at this place in Lawrenceville.

I listened to Radio Garden from Spain and went through all my memory verses including my new piece from 1Chronicles 29:10-13 in Hebrew.

Admin duties now. Then more language study.

I’ll try to go to sleep early in anticipation of the team tomorrow. Even earlier wake up on Sunday, when we have another missions conference to go to at One Heart Church.

Studied languages this morning. Surprised?

The girls came over to visit. Everly wanted to make sure I had all the shoes I needed. By the time she was finished, I had a pile of them!

Such a blessing!

Ashley had some boxes waiting for her, including Penelope’s hot dog halloween outfit!

Went to the church to check the mail.

Beautiful leaves already!

Helped the kids at the mission.

Dividing decimals by whole numbers. Using models.

I listen to Radio Garden on the way home. I focus on a talk radio station in Spain called Cardena SER.

Today, I took down some phrases I wasn’t sure about.

Deposited checks on the way home.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery! Yeah, baby! With all that’s going on in the world, it’s good to keep a level head. Focus with Verbal Surgery -604-

“Mellow Drama”

Got more dry erase markers to help at the mission. Kids love them! Me, too!

Admin duties now.

I stay up late working on Hebrew and listening to Spanish radio. This is Hebrew for welcoming someone to your home.

Worked on Duolingo Spanish/Swahili/Hebrew today.

Jesse’s birthday today! GREAT to spend time with him!

Good birthday cake, too! Tiramisu!

Focusing on Hebrew letters and their “vowels” called Nikud.

As if it wasn’t hard enough!
I try to use the material aimed for kids.


Several of the letters change their sounds depending on the nikud.

Or if they’re at the end of the word.

I’m getting close to beating the Spider-man game. It’s been a lot of fun. Way better than I was anticipating. I’ve been playing only Star Wars for over two years.

Admin duties now.

Still not feeling great. Slept nearly 12 hours last night. Wow.

Studied languages this morning.


Practicing verb forms.

Ate lunch with Jesse. It’s his birthday tomorrow!

Then did the early voting thing. Total time was about 15 minutes!



I like that it’s in Spanish as well.

I normally meet with my friend Carl Barrington today. Cancelled that meeting as well as the mission. I don’t like sick people being around me, why should I expose them?

Admin duties now.

Had a hard time going to sleep last night. Not getting enough exercise, but feeling too weak to do it. Up till after 2am.

Still not feeling great. Maybe a tad better. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. Rested all weekend. Decided I’d give myself one more day and see how I feel.

Studied Spanish, Swahili and Hebrew this morning. I do about 15 minutes each. More on Hebrew memorizing scripture in the evenings and reviewing Spanish verbs in the evenings, too.

Got the groceries. I’m still enjoying my bags. They are way better than the plastic ones and better for the environment.

Recorded a new podcast late this afternoon. At least I look like I’m feeling well!

That always helps me feel better. The sun was fantastic shining through upper level stratus clouds. Creates a rainbow effect. It’s always the same distance from the sun. If you stretch out your arms and hold your hand out the distance from the sun from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your little finger is where the rainbow will be. I’ve seen it completely encircle the sun in the right conditions.

Played some Spider-man.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery-603- “Leisure Measure.”

Put the files on my Mac.

I try to stay at least two weeks ahead. My goal is record twice each week. That way, if I don’t feel well or get too swamped, I have stuff in the can.

Admin duties now.

I’m feeling a little better today, but still actively resting!

Studied languages.

Hebrew is definitely the hardest. They all seem that way when I first start!

Got a new bluetooth speaker that runs on AC power. Sounds great. I use it for white noise and Radio Garden broadcasts with my iPhone.

Went for a short 1.41 mile walk with Kathy and Jesse. It was good to get out of the house.

Interesting.

Afterwards, K and I went to QT got treats and coffee. Then to the Dollar Tree to get birthday decorations for Jesse. We’ve been playing a lot of Spider-Man, so I got him that theme for birthday stuff. He got a kick out of it.

They didn’t have an 8 so I got him two 4s. I laughed and laughed.

Watched him play Spider-Man on my PS4. Fun!

Watered my plants. Always like to spend time with my green friends!

Admin duties now.

I haven’t felt well for the last few days. Today I took the conscious step of just resting in bed. Didn’t even leave the house. That’s rare for me!

I had a friend issue me a challenge of naming my favorite albums. I had fun thinking through the list.
Here’s my ten favorite of all time.

And here are modern ones I enjoy.

Studied languages.

Played Spider-Man and rested the rest of the day.

Didn’t sleep well last night. Whenever that happens, I study Hebrew. I ran through 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 word by word verifying that I know what each of the words means in English.

Studied languages this morning.


Hebrew is definitely the hardest.

Went to Stone Mountain with the girls this morning. Big Halloween festival.

They liked this game.


Hmmm.

They are building Snow Mountain.

Love this big rock!

We joined in the Halloween Parade!


Ashley went to ride horses today. This dress reminded me of one she had when she was little.

Stone Mountain Village is cool!


We went to Pizza Cafe for lunch. The girls liked this mirror.


Double blessing!

Penelope has a similar strategy for pizza and doughnuts. Eat from the top down.

Pile ’em in the car on the way to meet up with Mama!

I’ve still been feeling at about 80%. Not my usual Tiger Tank self. Trying to rest more. Haven’t exercised in a few days beside lifting weights.

Figured out how to add Gmail to my dock on my Mac. I continue to make progress. Not nearly as hard to transfer over as I thought it might be. I still do things on my PC, because I use a mouse with it.

Admin duties now.

Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning.



It’s weird how I almost take Duolingo as a type of fortune cookie.

Also worked on Hebrew from 1 Chronicles 29:10-13. Here’s the total piece. It has a video to go along with it with a native Hebrew speaker who breaks it down into each syllable.

It’s not really that hard, it just takes time. Over the months and years to come, I should have it down pat. If I’m going to say it out loud to people, I have to practice it like that, as if I was quoting it. Takes a lot longer. Plus I’m trying to concentrate on what the words mean. I already have it memorized in English.

Went to the Post Office to mail a copy of my book to the Sutton and Commagere families. They have been great supporters of our ministry over the years.

Took Jesse over to Walmart to have his eyes checked out at the vision center.

Not sure who came up with the title for this product.

Went to FBC Doraville to drop off the items we used in our presentation at Rockbridge BC last night.

Helped the kids at the mission.

There was hardly any homework today, so I mostly watched the girls. I’m always teaching them about science and nature. Today I pointed out a tiny polypore (a type of mushroom.)

Never know what Everly is going to try and taste. She was into acorns today.

She wasn’t impressed.
She liked the cars, though!

The clouds were fantastic today. I love the power of the summer clouds and the delicacy of the winter clouds.

Incredible!

Can you see the opalescence?

Bought Ashley a treat. These are her current favorites.

The Lotto is almost up to a BILLION dollars! What?!

Admin duties now.

Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning.

I spend time on Hebrew as well! Still working on 1Chronicles 29:10-13. It’s a big one!
I’ve done some work on Hebrew on Duolingo as well to get the sound of the language and work on the recognition of letters.

Kathy and I tried to vote early today. Apparently, we were too early although the material they sent us said it would be open. Wait a week. NBD

I liked this sticker I saw on a car there.

Went to pick up Kathy’s meds. She went to the doctor this morning.

Went to the church to pick up stuff for speaking at Rockbridge BC this evening.

Helped the kids with their homework.


Spoke to the Awanas kids at Rockbridge BC this evening. Always great to watch Ashley work. I said a few things, too. Hard to keep me quiet!

Beautiful moon this evening.

Kathy came to help, too!

Fun time!
