Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am enjoying the cooler temperatures so far today. It would be wonderful if it would stay this way all day. My weather app says otherwise. I may not be able to affect the outside temperature but maybe I can get my temper to cool down. Lately, it has matched the heat outside. What have we been up to this week? Serra is working on enjoying as much of the summer break as she can. Her current pursuits have been sleeping in, Animal Crossing, Shark week viewing and puzzle cube solving. We have done a bit of driving and she now has PT exercises to do daily to help with her hip. She has roped...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is just plain hot already today. Here's hoping a pile of wet hair on my head will help keep me cool. July showed up all of sudden, didn't it? What have we been up to the past couple of weeks? The last week of June was quiet and spent preparing for a trip! Every year when the major league baseball schedule gets released, we review it. When will the Mets and Cubs each come to town to play the Rockies? Are there any other teams we want to see? Are there any interesting matchups? This season's treat was the Red Sox traveling to Wrigley Field to play the Cubs. From two different cities, off...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! You would think from the birds singing outside and the sun shining behind the clouds that nothing in the world has changed, when it reality everything has. I have spent the past two days trying to process the court's decision on Friday, to get passed the sinking feeling in my stomach. So far it has not gone away. What did we do this week? Serra received three of the four new puzzle cubes that I purchased for her and has already conquered them. If I mix all seven of the cubes it takes her about forty-five minutes to unscramble them all going at a comfort pace. She has no interest in speed cubing as the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's quiet this morning, the birds aren't even singing outside the window. Maybe they are enjoying the cooler temperatures like I am and staying snuggled in their nests a little bit longer. I found a neat little app called Merlin that is in essence Shazam for bird calls. While it is interesting to find out what kinds live around me I don't need to know their names to enjoy their company. What did we do this week? Serra conquered the octahedron puzzle cube that was giving her trouble. It rotates differently than standard Rubik's cubes and has triangle versus square blocks. She was a little intimated with it at first but persevered. Good thing I...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Feels like our short lived spring is over and summer is in full swing. My car said yesterday that it reached 100*, something I am not quite ready for. Maybe that's why I've been enjoying hockey in the evening seeing all of that ice. What did we do this week? Serra has recently conquered the 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 Rubik's cubes. She only started with puzzle cubes a few weeks ago and now loves them. The one that has given her a run for her money is an octahedron as its faces have triangles and it turns differently. Her fabric finally arrived for her sewing project and she is having a blast...
