2018 Week 26: Summer Fun

Summer flowers are fun.

Not everything is fun and games, however. Moriah and two mentors worked long hours over the weekend on the tester they designed, and though they were at it into the wee hours of the morning, she was back at the job the next day. Such is the life of an engineer.

Moriah's summer job is with Near Space Launch, a company started by our neighbor. Several of the employees work out of his home. So occasionaly when Moriah runs into a problem, Mike takes his segway and cruises over to give advice and/or consult with the team.

Moriah looks like she's pointing to the tester they designed to check the tiny solar panels for the satellites they are bulding 

One day this week we delivered the office chair she had left in her room and I got to see her workspace. She has a wonderful view of our road. When I go for a walk I can wave and know that she will notice.

We've been following the World Cup, so of course I had to watch Argentina! Tuesday's was an exciting win!

Bee-keeper and bees have been busy. Michael harvested a goodly amount of honey this week.

We miss our ladies group fellowsip during the summer. However this week I saw two of the friends. The grandson of one of them entertained  and tricked us with a magic/illusionist show at a nearby library.

The next day, Friday, I got together with another friend and her grandson. Patryce and I had two months worth of catching up to do. Can you guess where we went?

Upland's  farmers' market summer offers a delightful array of produce, baked goods, and more as well as the opportunity to meet community friends. The food truck this week allowed for a pleasant evening picnic.

We watched Saturday's  Argentina vs. France soccer game with hopeful anticipation. But, alas, it was the end of the road for my "other country."

That afternoon we welcomed a group of Basque students who will be here through the month of July. We are hosting Jon and our grandson Elijah is staying with us also. Sam and Kristie, with Malachi's help, are hosting Xabi (SHAWvee), younger brother to the student who was with them last summer.

I do believe the boys are having a good time even if I cannot understand or follow the fast game they play.

Many more planned and unplanned adventures await them. The fun has begun!
