| Karin's Sunday bouquet 7/18/21 |
Our hydrangeas have finally made their pompous appearance.
If we're low on bread, Michael bakes more on Sunday afternoon or evening. He enjoys trying new recipes. This one has olives and tomatoes. However, he's very sparing about how much he consumes.
Monday afternoon, Michael, Leah and I went to the Switch Up in Van Buren to finish painting the last little characters on the climbing wall. The center logo, Sarah will paint.
Then we went to Stephan's dinner and admired his timber framing progress. Notice the live edge above what is going to be the door to the under-the-stairs-pantry.
On the way home we stopped to buy several more dozens of corn, which we then had to stay up till midnight to process and freeze.
And we came home through Matthews to make sure the mural-painting team had everything they needed to begin the daunting project. Unfortunately they had rented the wrong lift, one only safe for indoor use on smooth floors.
The next day they had obtained an all-terrain boom lift. This was the progress a couple days later.
The mural features the best of Matthews and promises to be a stunning addition to the small town.
This is the same building complex where the East Central Indiana Robotics team is housed.
Michael went backpacking again with a few of the UCC Hikers and sent me this photo.
I was glad for him that he got away from the many responsibilities that weigh him down right now.

That afternoon, Rebecca and I went with my friend Petey and her granddaughter to an event at Minnetrista very popular among little girls -
Faeries, Sprites, and Lights.
Unfortunately, the insects were on a rampage and feasted on Rebecca. The miserable itchy welts shortened our experience.
Throughout the week, I spent long hours on a better conclusion to chapter 11, scheduled to publish August 1.
Saturday was especially frustrating because of trying to wrap things up for the deadline and running into so many technological issues.
And Michael was gone all day on his weekly bicycle ride with the Muncie group.
Add to that, we had planned a birthday celebration for Skye's 24th that evening.

Fortunately, I had spent all day Friday preparing for the event.
"All's well that ends well," is that a saying? [Just looked it up. Oops! It is a Shakespeare play!]
Anyway everything ended superbly. The party was so much fun--Kalani doing all the motions to Wiggle songs with all of us joining in the motions; the birthday meal and Krazy Koch song (looks like Destiny enjoyed the family tradition!); and the guys going wild over the tools Michael had so much fun buying for Skye.

Oh, and the chapter conclusion was acceptable, and Locusts published as scheduled!
And now to wrap up this weekly photo journal - the surprise blooms of the week that come with memories.
Years ago, at the wedding of our dear friends' daughter, each guest received a small packet of bulbs.
What a full week! Do you know Linda Crow (used to blog at Two Cups of Coffee)? She took her granddaughters to that fairy event too! At least I assume it was the same one. It looked very cool.
ReplyDeleteI don't know her personally, but I think I remember that she is from Muncie, so makes sense she would be there. I admire how you have kept in touch with the old blog groupies!
