on vacation

i am off work until after labor day! this is an "at home" vacation, using up some comp time from the legislative session. i'm spending my time off getting caught up on chores around the house and yard, doing some writing, and doing some fun stuff. the writing will result in new posts when ready. i'm cookin'!

yesterday i went with lela to see hannah start off second grade. i'm going to pick hannah up after school tomorrow and we'll go swimming or bike-riding if it isn't raining. wednesday i will have lunch with her at school. when i asked her if she'd like that, she got a huge smile on her face.

did a lot of weeding this morning. my arms are itchy and scratched up. i like gardening, but i'd hire a gardener for some of the work if i could afford it.
