We are having a week of pretty weather here. It's going to start deteriorating Monday which is when we're leaving for a week to enjoy even prettier weather across the mountains in Yakima wine country.
Our timing is purrfect!Yesterday was more laundry. And making up the new bed. I even washed Scottie's bed. Not sure about the new mattress yet. I woke at 2am, finally got up at 3:30. But then I have nights like that anyway, so I'm not blaming it on the mattress. Yet. I've also been putting together blocks donated for comfort quilts. Making up tops so they are ready to go when we need them. So my Star Bright quilt is on hold for now, which is fine. I have no need to finish it pronto. I'm also going through recipes, making choices for food when camping - and lists. I am a list maker of the first order! lol! But I do want to be prepared because we're going with 2 other rigs and we'll be sharing meals. Don't want to forget an essential item.
Today I'm going to turn on trailer fridge, double check my lists, and assemble a few more quilt tops. They go together quickly when the blocks are already made!
JANA - that is a weighty decision Scott and Sandee have to make. Mike and I were faced with such a decision back in 1974. I was working for Weyerhaeuser then and he was out of college looking for work. He got a job offer with Bureau of Land Management in Denver. I quit my job and off we went with our toddler, Lara. Our moms were NOT happy! But turned out the job was only 36 hrs/wk, not 40. They neglected to tell us that. And without that other 4 hrs of pay, we were struggling. After 2 months Mike got a job offer back home so we moved back and our moms danced with joy! What an adventure we had with U-Hauls breaking down, someone breaking into our motel room at midnight on our trip home, and more! Anyway, I digress. Sorry. I don't envy S & S having to make this decision.
TINA - Back 'in the day' kindergarten here was half-day, 5 days a week. Now, some schools do it differently. Will Preston be all day, some days, or half-day, all days?
BECCA - I love it! A special book made by Great-Gramma called Avery's Adventures! How old is she now? Seems like she was just born.
Tonite, I think we're going to have a baked potato bar. Bacon bits, green onions, sour cream, cheese, etc. And, of course, a small salad.
Will you be cooking tonite?
I hope it stays that way. We used to have half days of kindergarten too but they changed it about 15 years ago to supposedly help families not have to pay daycare. I get on my soapbox for that and all these other handouts. The all day is really hard on 5 year olds and now they're talking about making preschool mandatory starting at 3 years olds. Ugh what happened with kids being able to be kids and parents doing the actual raising! Preston will be in all day kinder, he's actually going to probably be in Easton's class. It's called a jump class and it's K, 1st and 2nd and it's really helpful for kids who learn at all different paces. Easton is reading and doing math at 3rd and 4th grade levels and he's only in 1st and didn't even get a full year of kinder because of the covid closures.
