Weekly Wrap Up - Hello August

Monday morning the plumber arrived with our new water heater.  He was super nice and had the whole thing done in about 90 minutes.   Apparently, in addition to leaking, the old heater hadn't been heating much either.  We now have HOT water even on a lower setting, I'd forgotten what that was like.    Lindsey had her last sewing class of the season.   She make a lovely tote bag, but ran out of time to put the straps on it, so that's on her agenda for later in the week.   It's really cute though, right?

Tuesday Lindsey worked at the museum all day.  Olivia and I ran a family member to a doctor appointment and then home to work on projects around the house.    Lindsey's first sewing customer came by in the evening to pick up her finished project and Lindsey was thrilled to get paid $60 for all her work.

Wednesday, I dropped Lindsey off at the museum at noon.   The JLS kids worked on their farms all afternoon, cooking foods for their big feast.   In the evening, after the museum closed, they all gathered to eat their homemade meal.  After cleanup they played period games, had a barn dance and then everyone spent the night on site.   Way too much fun!      Olivia and I went by the local high school to sign her up for the PSAT's.    In the evening we went to the county fair.   It was odd being there without Lindsey, but we're at that point in life where it's not always the four of us doing things together.  

Thursday morning I picked Lindsey up at 9am from her overnight at the museum. Apparently there wasn't a great deal of sleeping involved, but she had a great time and won playing capture the flag!  She snoozed on the sofa most of the day while Olivia worked on a scarf she's knitting for a Christmas gift.  I went grocery shopping in the latest round of monsoon rains.

Friday (today) is Lindsey's first day of babysitting away from home.   While she's gone Olivia and I are going to work on getting the finished side of the basement deep cleaned and organized.  I think Tom and Olivia are going to go see Jurassic World in the evening.

On the blog this week, I've shared about Haiti Day 6,  Haiti Day 7 and Haiti Day 8. 

Have a great weekend!
