Good morning!
It was a quick week, it seems.
Tuesday Keanna came to clean. She has a client nearby and wanted to know if she could come a bit earlier. Sure. I'm here...not going anywhere--lol! So she'll be here about 45 minutes earlier than usual from now on.
Wednesday I watched the boys while Dagan ran errands over lunch.
Saturday Trump got shot in the ear at a rally.
Sunday Leah and her brother, Aaron, dropped off groceries for me. She couldn't go earlier in the week last week and this next week they are out of town.
Today Dagan, Leah, and the boys are leaving for the annual McGregor family vacation at a lake cabin. Dagan's dad and stepmom, his half brother & his family, and his stepbrother & his family do this every year. Ian and Liam love getting the chance to spend time with their cousins. It will be hot, so playing in the lake will be a big hit!
All week I was in quite the busy, putter-y mood. Catching up on letters, watering the petunias, bringing out stuff to the garage (like an oven out there!), laundry, cooking...couldn't find Allie one day.
This was the second time I have found her snoozing in the laundry basket I am storing all the shower curtains in--lol! (Yes, I am still switching them out every couple of weeks.)
She is one of the rare cats who will not set foot inside of any box...but she likes the cool slippery shower curtains, I guess--lol!
Allie is all comfy in her chair and I think I am going to head on over to mine.
There is lots more puttering to do this week...more pens to dust...more letters I owe...more ICADs to play with...and an easel to get used to again. :) I am trying to keep focused on all the little things I am so very grateful for. (The world seems to be going crazy.) Till next week, my friends...

It sounds like you and Allie are doing great in the heat. Also very glad to hear you have functioning AC. We have been near 80 (too hot for me) but not as bad as it was. I'm fine if I stay indoors in the afternoons. Love your optimism, friend!
No rain here, but we could use some. I am always surprised at how much dust there is!
The Aileen Cannon ruling is, well I wish I could say shocking, but it's not really shocking is it since she's done everything she could to make sure this case couldn't be heard before the election.
Keep on keeping on! Do what you can!
Busy! I hope your new setup works for you. It would be wonderful to be able to work without so much backache. Cats, they are individuals for sure! Enjoy the next few days, it's supposed to be better.
Sometimes those "mundane" tasks, like dusting the pens are so relaxing. The easel is a good idea. I hope it works out for you. I love the four icads you shared. Very lovely shading.
My house is a dust magnet. It has NO insulation. Either I dust all the time or I don't dust at all. I'm a neat freak, so I choose to dust (grin). My cats don't climb in boxes, either, but Squiggles hides in a brown paper bag.
I hope the new setup works for you. I LOVE your ICADs. Have a super week, dear Rita (and Allie).
You could start your own store! How many pens, markers etc can you possibly use?
Sometimes the smallest, simplest tasks give pleasure and satisfaction. Our weather is so cold and wet here that I can't get out in the garden so am spending my time with my watercolours. I am looking forward to some hot weather but most of my friends like the cold weather. Good that we are all different and enjoy different things. Hope you can keep cool in the heat.
Even out of practice as you say, you have more talent than I will ever have!
You mentioned dust, Rita, and we have it in this mill apt and so dusting is at least a weekly activity. Glad that you have been keeping cool and having a lot of enjoyment with the puttering. Your box count seems to be growing in the garage and that must be a good feeling that move out will be getting closer. Hope that you find a way to do your art with less back pain.
Hi Rita - you're certainly keeping yourself busy, but also keeping up-to-date with things that will need attention ... good for you and as you say satisfying. Take care and enjoy this week - cheers Hilary
I'm trying to catch up on posts, so here I am, a week late. What would happen if someone sat in Allie's chair? One of our cats liked to get in a laundry basket of dirty clothes. When she was dying, I put her in the laundry basket to comfort her. Interesting that Allie likes the texture of the shower curtains. Is the lake where the McGregors get together in North Dakota or maybe in Minnesota--the land of 10,000 lakes? I hope the boys had a good time and didn't get sun burned.
Love,
Janie
