Week 13
Beautiful weather this week, but really warm and dry for this time of year. They say it's driest March on record for Mississippi. So I guess we need the rain, but the sun has been so pretty it's hard to want to wish it away.
Reading: The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. It's good. A doctor delivers his wife's twins alone on a snowy night with only his nurse to aid him. He keeps and rears the boy, but gives the Down's Syndrome girl to the nurse to put in a home. He tells the wife the girl died at birth, and the nurse keeps the baby and runs away to start a new life with her secret. Very thought provoking.
I am working on the pattern I put down last week. So thats a good thing. Its going to be all in reds and blacks with white centers. Quite striking.
Trey, Karen, and Lauren are coming into town this afternoon for Super Bulldog Weekend. It will be nice to see them. Mom and Dad are not coming up like they originally planned, because mom is going to have to have surgery to repair a torn ligiment in her shoulder due to a fall 2 weeks ago. She is pretty bummed about it, I need to find someway to cheer her up.
Erin's birthday is tomorrow... So we are going to have a grillout with cake tonight at our house. Should be fun.
Most of the online research I did this week was on how to improve the front yard. I have learned how to smother the lawn between the trees that will allow me to add in a few plants and save Steve a lot of hassle in mowing. So I have the bare bones of a plan in my mind, but I need to try to get it onto paper so that maybe it'll be a little more real, and maybe I'll get working on it slowly.
