Update: Weight, blood pressure & cholesterol were all lower & within range. Mammogram was good. Pesky bug bite & sinus thing continue to slowly improve. Colonoscopy is scheduled.
We went to a baseball game on Friday night.
We stayed late for fireworks & for the kids to run the bases. If you look closely, you might spot the big gap where Malina’s two lower front teeth used to be! So cute. Someone near us recovered a fly ball & gave it to Davy… he kind of tossed it out ahead of himself when he ran the bases, so had to go way out into center field to retrieve it, deviating from the prescribed path — it was kind of funny to watch the “supervisors” react & try to corral him back.
Saturday was a PAJAMA DAY for me, which means a lot of puttering around… in pajamas!
Two little girls showed up at my house on Sunday. “Can we borrow a cup of brown sugar?” OMG, when’s the last time that happened?? Has to be a couple of decades…
The baker’s assistant was patiently waiting to continue mixing up a batch of chocolate chip cookies! They all came over for dinner… and brought us some cookies. Yum.
Things have been happening in the basement…
Our electrician was around to finish the electrical rough-in & laying of the cable for floor heat. Kate mixed & delivered mortar while Rusty spread it… now a few days to dry, then insulation & drywall. Exciting!!
I broke out all the beads yesterday!
I’ve been slow getting back into the major bead work, but that gate is now wide open.
How are we 3/4 of the way through August already? Kids registered for school last Monday & start next Monday!

Davy has a funny expression at the baseball game but he looks ready to go as a baker’s assistant. I’m always impressed by how much Rusty (and Kate) can do; I love that he’s an artist and also a very handy guy. Your beading is gorgeous!
I love that the kiddos are close enough to you now that they can knock on your door to “borrow” a cup of sugar! Glad to hear all the reports at the doctor were good. Like Bonny, I’m always impressed by how much Rusty can do. My husband is only good at calling in the specialists to fix things around the house!
I am likewise impressed with Rusty’s mad skills! Davy awaiting sugar though… the best! I remember standing on a chair to help cook all the time!
One of the greatest treats of living next door to my mother-in-law was the borrowing of a cup of sugar. It actually became a running joke between us as I would go over and ask for it when I didn’t need it as an “excuse” to visit. The basement is coming along wonderfully!
Davy (and all the rest) are darling. That little baker’s assistant looks so cute in his apron. Funny, I needed an egg the other day and I was thinking how when I was growing up the neighbors and my Mom used to “borrow” from each other all the time. Enjoy the beading. That is something I have never done.
I was just thinking about the neighborhood “borrowing” practice the other day! How fun that you can keep that tradition rolling. And Davy? Straight out of Little Rascals! Like everyone else here . . . I am always so impressed with Rusty’s MADSKILLZ. I can’t wait to see your new space all finished and ready to go. Here’s to a good week for all of you — and especially some of my favorite back-to-school kids. XO
