Finally getting ridiculously hot, starting tomorrow. Temps in the 90s! Our pool has been struggling to maintain 80 degrees or so, but after a few days in the mid 90s, should be far warmer still. Hooray!
Me and Rose, obviously!
She turned 11 this month. I will have Bday pics at some point, maybe. They are on Kevin's camera and don't get downloaded all that often because we are busy :-).
So yes, our baby is 11!
Miriam and Joseph had Juneteenth off, and today they are working from home, so we have had more people bumping around then usual, which is fun and a little weird. Usually it is "just" the four youngest kids during the day as Isaac and Joseph and Miriam are at work during the weekdays.
Speaking of Angela, age 17, she and Kevin have gone out most days this week to practice driving. Yes, it is that time, for Kevin to teach a kid to drive.
I am currently watching a documentary called: Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster. Very fascinating along with being very sad. People were stupid. The guy who owned the Sub, who died in the implosion, was stupid.
He was reckless and made big engineering mistakes and five people died, including an eighteen year old boy. Heartbreaking.
Not much else. I continue to write. I am enjoying a break from homeschooling the kids.
Oh, Lydia has taken a second part time job so is working quite a few hours now (like 50+) a week. She was sick and off work last year for awhile and needs to build up her savings. I am proud of her for being willing to work so hard. Part of me feels sad that this is necessary, but this is also life. When I was her age, I was putting in incredibly long work weeks in graduate school. I was young and strong, and so is she.
So yeah, summer is nice, pool is nice, I am grateful.
