Playing Catch-Up

Life's been a bit fun-and-frantic of late. The weekend was a KILLER. I had folks over for lunch on Thursday, don't even remember Friday, did Farmers' Market on Saturday, followed immediately by helping Adam in the Oriental Chowder Cook-Off, followed almost immediately by a fellowship dinner at church. Then it was up for church on Sunday with all that involves, preparing for a friend's birthday in the afternoon, and enjoying said friend's birthday party all Sunday evening, into the wee hours. (Crash into bed.) Monday, in addition to homeschooling, I prepped and taught the weekly ladies' Bible study and went to Community Chorus in the evening. I'm now accompanying some pieces there, so I'd spent many hours last week practicing those. I'm PLUM WORE OUT, as my Appalachian ancestors would say. (All of that was fun, mind you. I'm not complaining! It was just too much fun.)

Today I'm vegetating.

Here are some random photos. Do with them what you will!

 Julia went clothes shopping with her own money. I told her to enjoy that lithe figure while she has it.

Somebody at Sailcraft Marina is building this in the boat yard. It's not a house boat. It's on wheels. We have no idea why it's there. It's right next to the lift. ???

 Today I'm relaxing by watching bees buzz.

 Sweet Hubby brought me a cup of coffee. Ahhh. I'll get back to you ....
