Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is bright and sunny outside my window today. At the moment, I am trying to take advantage of the cooler temperature as I know the day is going to heat up. The weather is more like the usual July as it was dry and hot all week. What did we do this week? In between her rounds of creating in Minecraft Serra has been a social butterfly. Wednesday and Thursday were spent out on the town with friends. They have also planned a sleepover this evening that is going to take the majority of tomorrow as well. She is doing a good job of balancing, giving herself time to rest as well. A milestone...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The calendar says July, however the fog that just rolled in outside my window has me thinking April. The weather this summer has been something else. A normal July would already have had several days in the high nineties meaning cold showers at night simply to be able to sleep. Instead, I have gotten to snuggle into my blankets with the window open to be cozy. What did we do this week? Serra and I had a very quiet one. Minecraft and extra sleep filled Serra's days. We also got in some driving practice as her test is this week. The holiday gave me two extra days of rest, craft and reset. Amanda spent the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's a bright summer day so far here in the Fort. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get too hot just yet. I wouldn't mind a nice thunderstorm and have to remember that it is July! It's supposed to be hot. How did it get to be July already anyway?! What have we been up to for the past couple of weeks? We took a trip! Just as we did in '19 to check out colleges for Amanda, we did the same for Serra as this is the summer before her Senior year. She spent many months researching various schools, taking into consideration so many factors that she needed a spreadsheet to organize them all. She...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is bright in the sky today and bathed my room in wonderful rainbows through my prisms. Temperatures are still cool with not quite as much rain falling as last week. Not our usual June weather that normally hits hard in the nineties by now. I'll take the cooler temperatures any day! I would love to say that it was a wild and crazy week for us. Not so. Routine reigned supreme as we took care of household chores, organized some of Amanda's luggage and had company. Daddy came over for a few days to celebrate his and Amanda's birthdays. We watched movies and he got a lot of exposure to sports with baseball...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Cool and cloudy in my little corner of the Fort so far today. We haven't had as much steady rain as we did last week which the girls appreciate. I'm glad the temperature has stayed down instead of jumping directly into the boiling hot days of summer. It is odd weather for June that I will enjoy while it lasts! What did we do this week? Serra dove in deep to her college prep work. She has her transcripts and SAT scores printed and wrote a rough draft of a college resume with her activities over the years. She currently holds a 3.99 and wants to break a 4.0 with her coursework next year. Amanda's...
