Lunch al fresco is still better than sitting in a cramped and sad breakroom with awkward co-workers. Even in September in Central Texas.
The key is to pack something cool to eat, like a salad with chickpeas and tuna in lemon and dill olive oil. Deelish.
Behold: the riding lawnmower at Highlands.
Hubby mowed Highlands the weekend before he passed. So the grass is getting tall again, and I can't put off learning how to do things forever. Enter The Girl and her love of learning all things via YouTube. It doesn't take whiskers to mow. Wish us luck!
A gorgeous old tree near Bubbie's apartment in San Marcos. It was just across the street from a cute little coffee shop in an old house that served breakfast.
It was nice to catch up with him and see that he is doing OK. I worry about all of my kids and remind them regularly to keep up with each other and with me.
I will eventually finish working on my closet. Its come a long way from being a closet/office/bookshelf storage space for two people. Oh, how I hated that we had a desk and filing cabinet in here! Not to mention all of Hubby's ham radios. I DESPISED THAT. There are still wires coming out of a hole in the ceiling!! Recently, I tossed all of the multi-colored hangers from years of kid-raising and switched out to white ones, which I had plenty of. My closet will not be Pinterest-worthy, but it is large, smells nice, and has mostly clothes in it. I will post an update when I finish.
The three of us have kept each other sane! (ish) She will have a big birthday on Sunday and I know it will be rough for her. But I will make her a cake, take her out to eat, and shower her with gifties. I can't make it all better, but I can celebrate her on her day and we will get through this.
