This is Lucy.
Lucy and I spent some time together in March.
Lots of time.
Lucy is teaching me about perseverance.
About sticking to the task.
I do not like to be told what to do.
Some days Lucy lay in a heap on the table.
Other days we played and played.
It is time for Lucy to take a vacation.
Well, I am taking a vacation.
Lucy will not be accompanying me.
And why?
Because my Sweetie and I are going to a family wedding in England.
Lucy takes too much room now that she is growing.
Sarah Morrell wants to play this month.
Will she join me?
The challenge # for April is 9.
That is Sarah Morrell's number.
But I do not have any hand work prepped.
Sigh.
My to-do list for this week includes:
- Finish emptying out anything that will move out of the living room to get ready to shampoo the carpet tomorrow.
- Bag up and donate the gzillion toys that were removed on the weekend.
- Load them into the car to drop off this afternoon.
- Bag up the broken and discarded toys ready for garbage Friday.
- Deal with the quatrillion ants in the SonRoom.
- Visit the location for our women's group retreat for June today and see just how many beds are available. There are 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. I know that. And a heated swimming pool. And a fireplace. And a double curved staircase.
- Remember to drop off the toys.
- Then write up a packing list for my ladies. I already have the meal signup sheets printed.
- Order British currency at the bank.
- Get travel insurance. It is much more now that we are over 70.
- Find something to wear to the wedding. We were told we could not wear jeans. You can see the venue here
- Work on just 2 Morrell blocks. That should satisfy the requirements for the challenge. Progress it is called. This will be my April OMG goal.
That should keep me busy for a few days. There is an eclipse coming on Monday and my Sweetie is going to babysit the boys this Friday and is planning to stay over until Monday. That leaves me home for the weekend on my own (insert giggles and extreme brain activity). Whatever mischief activities could I pursue? My Mentoring Women's group is meeting here for potluck on Sat afternoon and we will be wrapping up a book study we have been doing this winter.
Blessings,
Chris
Good luck with your tasks and goals and enjoy the travel and wedding.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding venue looks terribly "swish". You might even need a hat.
ReplyDeleteOh my, that castle looks amazing. Yes, jeans will have to be worn a different day. I love the second reminder to drop off the toys! Good luck and have a splendid time with family on your trip.
ReplyDeleteSo, you are dumping Lucy for Sarah? I see how you are.
ReplyDeleteOh definitely not jeans for this wedding in the magnificent gardens. Maybe a pretty dress?
ReplyDeleteHope you dropped those toys off !
Lucy is looking good and will be happy to wait a little longer.
Lovely blocks for Sarah.
The venue for your retreat sounds fabulous and I’m sure you’ll all love it.
Enjoy your me time over the weekend.
