Day 1345: Labor Day dominoes

How fortunate we've been to have each other through this lovely, hot summer. Through tough times, health scares, our family reunion and all the quiet days in between, we can depend on each other.  I never forget that cause my two closest old friends are alone.

Laraine's house was robbed Wednesday night and the thieves probably have been raiding it for some time.  Her tools have been disappearing over the past few weeks, but she thought she misplaced them.  Then, on Thursday, she found her DVD and VCR players in the backyard.  Her tv, valuables, jewelry and memorabilia are gone, including treasures from her mother and father.  She is heartbroken, angry,  hurt and alone.  The police told her to go check out the local pawn shops.  Isn't that their job?    She doesn't want anything, no company, no help.  She's making lists of what's missing. in preparation for the insurance adjustor coming tomorrow.  She can't take any more hits.

We spent another quiet day on the back deck, but with an autumn twist.  Backpacking tasks are underway.   Steve finished the Quest schedules for all four schools.  Usually that's a tough job, but we're really fortunate they're all on the same calendar of vacations this school year.  I revised the contract, health form and parent checklist.  Still need to do a couple more forms tomorrow so they can be delivered to the print shop.  By the time we return from our trip, the student meetings will be underway.

I added three hundred lengths to my total to reach 104 miles.  I almost made up for the low numbers over the weekend.  Then, to top off the day and summer season, a game of dominoes with Mary and a  call from Colin! Perfect!


Four gorgeous kale plants.  What do I do with all that kale?
