Oh my goodness, life is full! Not totally positive, but I’m gonna let that part go and say that it has been fun finding free things to do with my girls this summer. We are still home schooling, they are taking two online classes at the moment; World Cultures and Critical Thinking. That’s free.
We find books and DVD’s and Audio Books at the library for free! We love listening to the Audio Books during meals and even while we do crafts.
Then the library has other activities going on too. We are taking advantage of the Knitting Club/Class…for free…and the Signing class…for free…and we will be looking into the Activity times one of the branches has twice a month.
There are also one time programs that are put on. We want to attend the “Be Kind to Animals” program.
I just made a cute pair of slippers after having learned to knit again. They are called “Pocket Book Slippers”. Here’s a photo and the url for you to get the pattern from if you happen to like knitting. These are very easy and look just like a little pocketbook when you’re done sewing up the two sides. The size is perfect for my short stubby foot and then stretches out to fit my girls’ long size 9 1/2 feet too without stretching too far and looking ugly.
I had the needles and the worsted already and they cooked up really fast! The main site I found them at is called Knitting Pattern Central.
My oldest boys are off larping this weekend. They are having a major battle over in Orlando and we may go see it on Sunday – free except for the gas. They made their own chain mail by slicing 1″ pvc pipes into 1/8″ rings and then cutting a slit into each so they loop together. The chest plates are made by cutting 50 gallon blue barrels into about 3″ x 4″ rectangles, rounding, drilling 8 holes in each and then lacing them together. Yep, long process, but it’s the real thing as in how chain mail has always been made, just not out of plastic. What a great experience for them. No photos yet.
Middle son is learning the woodworking trade this summer spending days with his father.
The dogs are happy as can be inside in the air conditioning, as am I, I’ll tell ya. We had a few days of overcast and rain, which was quite pleasant, but we’re back in the 90′s with high humidity (70+%) after the rains.
I’ve been having a grand time doing Distance Sessions. It is a most fulfilling acitivity for me, especially as clients share back with me about the readings I provide along with the energy. I am just as happily surprised as they are and love the positive feedback that results.
All that’s left for me to do is GET SOME EXERCISE! Right? Right. right.
