Today

 Ingrid has learned to do the splits.  Helen eat your heart out.

 Astrid is playing volleyball.  Some of the Mom's were upset about the baggy shorts.  It did not bother Laura.  She was decently covered.  Volleyball players wear skin tight short pants and Astrid does not like them but she does not like 'baggy' drawers!  They won their game.  She played on 8th and 9th b.  Volleyball is not one of her favorite sports, but I love it and I am hoping Ingird and Sigrid will like it.

 Our new air is in.  Soon we will have more insulation in the attic and then I will really be in heaven.  Larry is fixing the area around the unit.  You should never plant stuff around an air unit.  It has to move air to work and all those vents need to be open.

 Finally they are cutting our hay.  The big rats will not have a place to stash the baby rats now.   The pond is really low.

 Larry is redoing another tractor.  He offered it to a boy to buy, but I don't want him to sell it.   Sort of like that vet of Helen's when you pour your soul into something...you should hold on to it.

Sigrid is sick. She has strep throat.  She will probably stay with us tomorrow.  She worked the concession stand at the volleyball game with her mother.  She can make change like an adult.  Such a smart little girl.  She will probably stay with us tomorrow.
