Another beautiful week in May

It has been a great week.  I have been able to sew and work in the yard every day.  We finally planted green beans on Saturday. 

 

 And, sometime soon, I need to thin out the volunteer dill that has popped up in the garden.  

 

 

 Steve has kept himself busy.  One project was cleaning out the gutters.  

 

  Pretty scary way up there!  

 

 He is trying to ride his bike every day – on Thursday, he rode to the Smiley Lane Pharmacy to pick up his prescriptions. Another time, it was to Gerbes to get a few items.  We watched Amazing Grace and Something Wicked This Way Comes yesterday.   And, I finished the third book in Leigh Bardugo’s trilogy. Really good.

It was a week of high school graduation events.  Chamber orchestra played for Rock Bridge’s Baccalaureate Tuesday night.  

  Steve and I attended two evenings of open houses honoring the graduates.  Friday it was Jared Houseman’s which also doubled as a mission farewell as he leaves in June for the Rome, Italy mission!  Saturday it was for Ruta T’ia and Liza Martendale.  How did they get so old???

I have a Rock Bridge student who broke her finger back in March and could not play in our concert.  She needed to have a way to make-up that performance so we played duets at Candlelight on Saturday.  She is a very talented musician so it was an easy gig.  

 

I think I am liking this retirement thing.  I was worried about sharing the computer but I shouldn’t have.  And, we bought an iPad Air for me two days ago (I will have to return the school-issued iPad this Tuesday on my final day of teaching).  We also bought a full-sized bluetooth keyboard that can link up to three devices.  Tamara helped us tonight to set it up for both the iPad and Steve’s Android tablet.  Thank you, Tamara!
