Friday, July 20th

Good morning.  It is a beautiful summer morning. The sky is clear blue and we have a little bird snacking out of our bird feeder.  I’m not sure what kind of bird it is…he or she is a small bird with brown, grey and white feathers. He or she seems to be enjoying the wild bird seed and our squirrel is anxiously awaiting the bird’s departure so he can have his breakfast. It is really fun to watch the squirrel (Bushy as the boys call him) maneuver his way to the top of our squirrel proof bird feeder and then do basically a front flip to land inside where he can get to the feed.  Bushy does miss once in a while and lands a perfect double flip on the ground.  Too bad there is no summer Olympics for squirrels..I thing he might have a chance at gold.

The Mister took the boys to the Swim Team spaghetti dinner last night and a couple of our friends watched the kiddos while the mister checked back on me.  Just to let you all know..I am doing quite well.  The hardest thing is not lifting anything over five pounds and not bringing my arms above my shoulders.  Especially since I have all this time to look around and see what I should have done or finished pre-op.  Oh well, I’m sure these things will still need to be done after the recovery period is over.

The Mister grilled some delicious salmon skewers last night and I think he has some yummy blue cheese burgers for this afternoon or evening. He is quite the cook.  I smell the bacon he is making for breakfast sizzling away in the kitchen.  Is there any better breakfast smell than bacon?

The oldest is already reluctantly at swim practice.  He is happy once he is in the water, but getting there at 6:45 is a tiny bit of a challenge.  His League meet is Sunday and if they make a State time we will be going to the State meet the following Saturday.

The youngest just came down stairs…he slept in today 7:17 a.m. that is about an hour later than his usual time.  His swim practice doesn’t start until 8:30 so he should be wide awake by that time.

The Mister has a lot of work to get done today.  He has a lot of work to do everyday, but with the Fall tastings in full swing he has numerous accounts to see this morning.

The house is still clean…hurray…except for the dog hair under our feet.  I think I need to invest in another Swiffer…that way we don’t have to haul the vacuum out everyday.

The Mister just brought in breakfast, so it’s time to go.

Have a great day and God Bless.
