7-21-15 Drivers Ed.

by Kate

Sunday afternoon wrestling match.

The neighbor’s field has had water in it a lot this spring…….actually the green tint on the dirt is moss.

More Sunday afternoon activities.

(I think that’s Jake.)

We’ve had a terrible peach crop this year. There have been a few “pick up and eat” peaches but nothing like two years ago when we had bushels and bushels of really nice ones.

Yesterday was a rather busy day. Jake had a follow-up Dr. appt. in Peoria in the morning, and it was Mom’s day to drive for drivers ed. We had to leave about 12:00 so we would have enough time to get to all the bus stops to pick up the other kids. After dropping off all of us kids at class, she took the little kids and did errands in Pekin. The good news is that she has driven three out of her four times which means we’re over half done.(!!!)(She only has to drive four times total because we are carpooling with three other families.) We got home a little before 4:00 which doesn’t leave much of an afternoon for working and playing. After supper we had a huge water fight. Levi and Jesse even joined, making it very entertaining. It included a lot of five gallon buckets full of cold hose water getting dumped on peoples’ heads.

Today has been really slow. I will get picked up for drivers ed about 12:30, but other than that we don’t have much going on.

 

                                                                        THE END.

 

 

Editor’s note: Today has been relatively slow. Compared to yesterday, it’s flying by at a snail’s pace. But the laundry line is still full, the beans were picked and pulled (too buggy and few blossoms) and frozen, I have yet to finish Kate’s skirt that I started last week, the strawberry patch needs to be weeded, and there’s ironing waiting to be done. Which is why Kate did this blog post for me, thank you Kate!!
