Hard to believe.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is really cool.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Wow.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

What?! I would have loved to have seen one of these!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I had planned on going on safari to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, but it was so cloudy I called it off.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

New word that I need.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Never too much Ashley.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Girls and I started our day off at Waffle House. They really ate well.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Our next stop was Goodwill on US 29 in Lawrenceville. We found some pretty good stuff for cheap. We didn’t get the mask!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OYB!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Duolingo has grammar lessons as well as stories you listen and respond to.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Put the stamps on the envelopes.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love Peru. I read that they have the highest death rate per capita of any Latin American country. Sad.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Our newsletters had been printed. I collated and stuffed the envelopes. The girls played in my office while I did it.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I love to see this.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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!”<\/p>\n

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>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It really is a nice location. Of course I love it when there are hardly any people there.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just keep listening. I don’t get uptight about not understanding everything. I just keep picking out words as fast as I can.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Got petrol.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nChecked the fluids.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cleaned windshield.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Ordered the groceries. I’ll pick them up tomorrow evening. I have until 8PM to get them.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Transported a squirrel. I meant to take it with me to Chamblee.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

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