Summer Misc.

DollFace was riding the tractor with her Daddy in the field next to my house and decided she wanted to walk over to see me. She was crying because she saw her sister ride the 4-wheeler to a neighbor's to swim but we soon got involved in practicing writing and playing in the basement while I attempted to continue organizing and cleaning. C came to pick her up. Neither of us said much about the cupcake incident but C did say something to the effect that I had to understand her position. Whatever! is what I thought. What I said was that we should just put it behind us. I was also able to talk to Stretch and I think I convinced her to stay with me at least part of the time her parents are out of town. Feels like we've moved past it. Whew. When they're staying with me the menu will be: All Cupcakes, All The Time! LOL

My sweet kitty, Zoe, is missing. She slips outside many evenings but usually is ready to come back inside by bedtime. Two nights ago she slipped out and hasn't come back. They have been working in the fields around my house mowing, raking and baling hay. I'm worried she got run over by some of the big equipment. Or she ran away. My poor Zoe.

Update on my list of To Dos for this summer:

• enter CPUs in the board of ed website
• clean up porch

• paint and hang picture ledge
• frame pictures
• wash windows
• organize pantry
• organize and clean basement (begun)

16 or so days until possible embryo transfer. The summer is somehow passing. I must say I'm enjoying the leisurely pace of the days. Nice slow start to the days. No schedule to keep, doing what I want to do.
