Busy “doings” lately

Last Wednesday, I registered J for school.  It starts this coming Monday.  The summer has seemed to fly by.  Except for the extra vacation days during the school year, I’d wish for school to start in September.  J, L and I have been doing a bit of school shopping, too.  I think we are just about set to go.


Last Thursday, J got braces on his teeth.  He has really looked forward to the day when he can have straight teeth.  However, with the initial pain of it, I think he must wonder why he wanted braces after all.

Also for last Thursday, at a friend’s request, I set up a lunch so a couple of us could visit with my cousin KGG before she went home to Virginia.  I wish I’d taken pictures but we had a great time. 


On Friday at the crack of dawn, my sister and I drove northward, and I convinced her to come to a sister missionary lunch I had tried to arrange.  We had hoped more “girls” would come but we had a great time catching up.  My sister was an honorary “Schwester” for the lunch!

Right after lunch, my sister and I went to a reunion for my first cousins on my father’s side of the family. 

The primary activity was each cousin taking a turn talking about what was going on in his/her life and the lives of any siblings who were not there.  I really enjoyed catching up.


Then in the evening, on the way back home, my sister and I stopped in to visit one of my mother’s friends and then another of our cousins who couldn’t come to the reunion.  We got home about 2 a.m.  What a full day!


Then Saturday, L had her last city swim meet.  It started at 3 (warm ups) and we did not get home until after 1:30 a.m.  Yawn.

Sunday, of course, I was released from my young women calling.  After church, my sister and I visited our father’s only living sibling and reported on the reunion.


This morning, T got braces on his teeth, too. 

Today, my sis and I helped my niece CF set up a new apartment.  I had a great time with Baby T, CF and CS. 


Lots of things have been packed into the past few days with more “doings” ahead, no doubt. 

 I go back to my school library job when school starts.  Of course, I had to get a back-to-school outfit, too, right?!
