another week of summer gone

Glen went to Young Women's camp this past week. Sounds like he had a good time.

Not much happened here.

I made another wind chime and then hung up all the ones I have outside.

My newest creation

And I did some more de-cluttering. And reading. And I took a walk each morning and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and calm that early mornings are blessed with.

I also had another visit with the chiropractor to try and fix my neck which has been bothering me for a few months now. I'm trying to improve my posture so I'm not straining my neck. I think I'm making progress.

The boys lent me their muscles so we could move the old fridge out of the kitchen to make room for the new one that should be here this week.

And that sums up things from here. A quiet week on the home front even if it wasn't a quiet week in the news.

summer happenings

In the 2 weeks since we've been home, we've been working on a lot of projects.

I recovered the dining room chairs, made a wind chime, and continued to find things to donate to the local thrift stores. Glen fixed a leak under the house, went on a hike with Alex and the other scouts Alex's age, and went fridge shopping with me when our fridge started misbehaving (new fridge to arrive on July 1st). Glen's been working on family history, putting in the garden, and getting things ready for camp. That's Young Women's camp, by the way, and not scout camp.

Yes, Glen is currently at Young Women's camp for the week, leaving Alex, Ryan, Eric, and me to our own devices. I am still deciding what I want to surprise him with--painting a wall? Fixing the hammock? Or just continue de-cluttering?

Yesterday was Father's Day. Andrew's first as a father. How grateful we are for all the wonderful men in our lives.

And now, for the photos:

I think this one is my favorite with his little tongue sticking out and his adorable smile.

Andrew's friend held a Dominion tournament. Andrew (and Henry) came in first.
