Relaxing after a long family,vacation

 We had an exceptional vacation at Rockywald Deephaven with Walker and Tucker’s family.

We, well the kids did all the activities like swim the shore line swim, capture the flag, the tennis and paddle ball tournaments, the run, the square dance, the talent show, (Bess danced and did gymnastics)

Joseph told me he ran up “rattlesnake”  twice) liz and Tucker walked to five fingers. 

We had a golf cart so Rick drove it with me in tow everywhere. 

I took it one morning and drove to the store and bought lots of gifts. 

Before our week at RDC rick and I drove to the White Mountains. We stayed several days at the White Mountain Inn. It is a magnificent resort. I swam in the pool. We ate on the patio alone but had breakfast in the fancy dinning room. 

Now I am sitting on the sofa. I have been looking at pictures of our trip because I want to make a Shutterfly book. I read some of our previous blogs so I have more of an Idea what to do. I would like to post pictures.

Now we are at the In at Wentworth

 I am sitting by a fire. There is an old fashioned picture above the mantle. I just wrote and sent pictures by email. I drew pictures of leaves. I copied them from a tree book the was left in the room. It is not raining but it has rained almost continually since we started on this excursion. It would be difficult to live in the White mountains. The rain is every day and the rocks are everywhere. 

Rick is out running. He said he would bring back coffee. This afternoon we arrive it RDC.  I have lots of gifts in the car. I am glad I have a family. Rick is very considerate even though he gets angry at times.

My grandchildren are always fun and entertaining. 

The Inn at Thorne Hill

 Ready for Bed

We are at the Inn-at THORN Hill. We ate a delicious dinner and sat and talked about the last few days and politics. I have my robe on and am sitting on an old fashioned sofa while Rick catches up on the news. It rained a good part of the day as. We drove from the  resort at the base of Mount Washington.  Yesterday we took the cog railway to the top of the Mountain. rick bought Jersey Mike sandwiches for lunch. We looked at the gift shop waited for the train and the;returned to the resort. We rented a black car so traveling through the mountains is quite Luxurious.

We are sewing lots of fog which hides the mountains. The sky is grey and gloomy looking. 

We have a three room suite here which makes our stay quite comfortable. 

The dinner was free as is the breakfast tomorrow. I sat in the jacuzzi when we first arrived. I am glad I am writing this so I can keep track of our activities. Tomorrow I will take. Ore pictures. 

Monday Morning

 I had trouble sleeping. I do not want to turn on the TV. I keep thinking about making socks. I found a weather book in the book case in Tucker’s old room. I am going to pay more attention to the weather.

Rick is outside cleaning up and weed eating

He is going to take Walker to the doctor soon.

My hands are stiff. I am trying to exercise them.

I woke up very early and now feel tired.

Tucker Gratuates from Henley

 Last night we attended Henry Middle school graduation and watched R. Tucker receive his diploma. Now he will move on to WAHS to spend four more years of school. Rick and I sat in the back with handicapped people. Today, right. Ow we attend an award ceremony for Eliza. It is wet outside. I will take my raincoat. 

As usual, I had trouble sleeping and took several hot baths during the night. 

On my Way to Senior lunch

 I just watched a video about growing old.

It is Importan to drink water each morning when you wake up.other suggestions were to get outside and look at the sun, write In your  journal. 

There was nothing about prayer. 

There were instructions about movement.

Roll your shoulders, do squats, move your feet in a circle.

I think this was a good video. I just decided I should write something before I draw. ✍️ 

Award Ceremony at Western

 Yesterday morning we attended an award ceremony at WAHS. Joseph and Eliza both received honor awards. Walker was there as a teacher. The room was  filled with students. Jen Sublette was there. We saw her as she left. She did make an announcement. 

When I woke up I began reading the Big Relief., a book by Dave Zahl who is on the staff at Christ Church. I am still reading the first chapter. The big relief is Grace.

I ate left over lasagna for lunch. I hear Rick using the weed eater out side. He mowed the grass. Our dishwasher is broken so we are trying to eat simply and wash the dishes in the downstairs bathroom.

I am knitting a white baby hat.i have been sitting on the sofa all morning because my knee hurts. I had a shot but it is not working. I called Dr. Haugh’s office. His assistant said I need to put ice on it and rest. I have started to drink water with lime and honey. I want to finish this hat soon so I am going to finish typing and begin knitting again.💜😎

I am disappointed I cannot add photographs. I am experimenting .now I am going to use the T. I think it works. I will keep typing.
