Another Off Day

Yesterday I mowed my yard again. I wore my trusty sombrero that Sister Helen brought me from Arizona. Earlier this week I burned my pile of limbs before it was too dangerous. Some of my yard was already brown.  Sombreros don’t just have wide brims for shade, they also are designed with a high crown to provide insulation and constructed of straw to make them breathable.  Sisters often think of the best gifts. I love my sombrerođź‘’ 

Ada did this. Erin saw it and Ada said “ I’m making her an Indian”.  They used bleach and cleaned the doll. Ada had marked on the floor at camp too.  Erin talked about defacing things—floors, walls, toys. I wasn’t a great Mom. I did a lot of lecturing. They turned me off I’m sure. 
My Grandson Clayton made cookies this week. I think it’s great for boys to cook and help clean the kitchen.
I had another funeral today. It throws me off schedule. I went to yoga, grocery shopped, got a hair cut, and then a funeral. Just now did Wordle, connections,  and the waffle puzzle.  Finally got my blog entry on here. I thought about just skipping it but it’d break my streak. I still have the paper cyrptogram and crossword to complete. I bought chicken feed today too. Must take it to the storage barrels. Tomorrow I’m be back to my usual sitting most of the day.

  1. You had a busy day! Yes boys should learn how to bake, cook and clean up in the kitchen! Those look like perfect cookies! I think all my girls dolls ended up with some kind of enhancement:)

  3. John is a better cook than I am, but that may be only after his wife died. He was forced to learn. It's important for men to know how to cook, do laundry and clean and for women to mow the lawn and do minor repairs. There really shouldn't be any tasks that are unique to one gender in my humble opinion.
