A whirlwind

24 hours on a solo trip.  Visited Monticello Antiques in Portland, Camas Antiques, the boys at the Barnhouse in Battle Ground, a "vintage" garage sale and Kalama Antiques.  Found goods at every spot.  I'll share soon.

messing around

You may have noticed, I'm futzing with my blog design.  I still don't like it, but I keep trying.  Time goes so quickly when you cruise the internet for bloggy stuff.

It's raining outside, I can hear the drips on my big umbrella (that covers my table), that and the laundry I'm waiting to get done.

It stayed dry for Lilia's practice tonight.  Whew.  Once home, we baked blackberry cobbler (we have a ton of berries from the field) and buttermilk cake.  More baking for work.

School is going well.  Week 2 of after school sports, cross-country for Sofia and football for Alex.  So proud of those two!

Here I sit

Kids have not come downstairs.
Carter spent the night.
I'm cruising the internet and watching HGTV.

It's actually been a productive 2 days thus far.  I had Friday off and had my list of to-dos.

Scrub tubs
Vacuum

All this was done between 9-2pm.
Sofia had cross-country until 3:20, Alex football until 4pm.  He was beat.  I'm so proud of those two.
Then off to soccer at 4:30.
