And let us consider
by chuckofish
It finally cooled off in flyover country and it is quite a relief. We’ve had a “too darn hot” run here in August. Soccer practice was even called off! But it is bearable to go outside again, thankfully.
Kindergarten is going well.
And third grade, so I hear, as well.
Meanwhile, I have been keeping busy and my shredder has been a-buzzing. I am making progress.
Also, as you know, John Wayne movies are my comfort food for the soul. This week I watched The Alamo (1960) and I was impressed. It is a fine, moving film, with excellent performances from all three leads and the supporting actors, including Frankie Avalon. And the last 45 minutes or so brought me to tears several times. Really. I could not find any good clips on YouTube, so you’ll just have to take my word for it.
Well, I am looking forward to a visit from Mr. Smith this afternoon and dinner at the boy’s house tonight. Tomorrow there is a good estate sale to check out and a chance to say ‘hey’ to Lamar. It’s the little things, right? Never overlook those everyday joys!
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

Yes, plenty of small joys ahead this weekend. And maybe even a trip to the winery!
Your to do list is long but your steady (and cheerful!) progress has inspired me to get going on my own. The plumber came and fixed our leaky pipes, and we have hired someone to tackle the awful Japanese knotweed. It feels so good to get things in hand!
