Tucker comes tomorrow

 I am very excited. I have been working on making sure the house is clean and there is plenty for the  kids to do. I must get the toys ready after I write. Rick just left to pick up Hallie and family to take them to the airport. They will fly to Memphis to see her parents.

Yesterday we went to church and heard about Abraham Lincoln and what he said about Thanksgiving. Then we went to Giant and then to Starbucks and then Came home.

In the afternoon we went to the violin concert and all of the Holkham Richmond’s played. The concert was a joint concert of everyone the teacher teaches. She uses the Sazuki  Method. The oldest students play first then they move to the youngest. Each plays individually and then younger students are added to the group. Hallie also got to play. She never played with this group before. At one point she and Joseph stood beside each other.

I feel very inspired.

I read about the different string instruments so I know more.

Today is Thursday November 21

 I am going to go shopping. I already ate a healthy breakfast. I just talked to Catherine. She always feels agitate. I told her about Lewis and Clark picture book with pictures from Sam Abel our neighbor in Crozet. He lives close to the monastery. We gave the 250 dollars when we bought some cheese.🧀 

I read Eric Frommer’s  obituary. He wrote 5 Dollars a da in Europe. Later he travels the whole world.I like to add pictures but am not sure now. Last night I showed pictures to Rick, 

Spent yesterday with Walker and Joseph

 Yesterday I drove to  with Walker and Joseph to Warrington to Watch Joseph play in two soccer games. We left at 7:40. Walker picked me up. I sat in the front seat and had lots of time to spend talking to Walker. We talked about our new president and how our country will change because the Republicans won. 

This morning Rick and I went to Christ Church. There were four Baptisms. The church was packed with people. Many people had to sit in the balcony. After church we went to Giant t buy medicine for my cold sore. I put some on my bottom l. It feels better.

For lunch I ate my leftover fish. Yesterday we went to a restaurant named Glory days. Walker said it was very popular in northern Virginia. I ordered the fish, Walker ordered a salad with  Salmon on the top. Joseph ordered a BLT. Right now football is on the TV. The Commanders are playing. Off, we go from Landover. Washington is playing the Cowboys. This is a famous competition. I just wrapped my brothers Christmas gift in a USPO box. It is a shirt I bought at Costco.we are going to go to a violin concert at 2pm.

I talked to Walker. He was in his car coming home from church. We drove directly to Walker’s house last night and ate pizza that we picked up at BJ’s 

The weather is warmer today. I took my coat to church but did not wear it.

If you watch sports something always exciting is happening. I am trying to organize all ,y Christmas gifts. That is why I wrapped my brother’s gift. Tomorrow I am going to organize the California gifts. 

Today is Vetrans Day

 I was sick this morning.it started out with a cold at church. I am not sure but I could hardly get out of bed. I feel better now but am still coughing. When I get flustered I start to knit. I must take Eliza to school Wednesday and then go to the doctor’s. I have to write down my problems.

I called my brother because it is his birthday. He has adjusted well to Ecumenical House. I told him about the long sleeve tee shirt I sent him. The writing was Cresson Bed and Breakfast which I thought he would like. I sent him candy. 

Sick All week

 I have been coughing all week. I went to see Dr. Volkama on Wednesday. He gave me two medicines. 

I have two pills left in one jar. This is an antibiotic. 

My daughter just came for a visit. She left screaming. She voted for Trump so is happy about that. She is sour on Real Estate. I am not sure how to help her.  I have been downstairs reading most of the day. There is much news because Trump won the election and has plans to change the country beginning with relocating all the undocumented foreigners in the country.he also wants to eliminate the Education Department.the newspaper just used the word hews. I need to look up that word.

I am going to sit in the jacuzzi and then put on my pajamas. 

We leave today

 I had a restless night. I am sitting in bed. I already packed my suitcase. Rick went to the office to pay the bill. I think I will take a shower. I want to go to warm spring and go to the famous pools but Rick does not want to go. I want to take a picture. I like the color of the room. 

I am writing this later. I think we are at Lewis Mountain Lodge. The Homestead is close by. 

I just watched Kamala giver her farewell speech.

My sisters were upset about Kamala loosing. I think many women in America were. I finished. Knitted hat this morning and now am working on a scarf. The room is dark. I must send Virginia  Evans a letter reminding her to send a contract to bill Snow for CVWG.

 I had trouble sleeping. Rick gave me some of his sleeping pills. I turned on Calm in the bathroom 

It is morning . We have to have our bags out by .

I am watching local news. A special Barbie doll was put out for Festival. Now lawyers advertising, just like home.

We had lunch at a crowded Denny’s after looking at  museum for Walla Walla and old village. The weather is low eighties. 

Everything is Pumpkin latte and pumpkin  offer.  The mountains loom above the river. 

Back from breakfast. We go to a show at 10:30 in conference center. Then, we get on the boat.  Rick thinks we have same room as last time.

I do not think I would like living in Washington state. I am looking at barren mountains. Maybe I should paint them.

Donold Tru p was elected president

 I worked at the polls yesterday handing out instructions on how to vote democrat. I made some new friends while there. I mailed packages to my brother and my son at the Crozet post office. 

I came home and watched TV the rest of the day and evening hoping that Kamala Harris would win but disappointed in Americans for failing to pick a woman to lead them.

I am still knitting and crocheting hats, mostly for Eliza’s school fair. Today and in the future I am going to write in Storyworth more.
