Li'l stuff

We are busy as always but nothing major going on at the moment. A is house/cat sitting this week. That's a little nerve wracking without her here each night. We're trying to keep up via phone.

R is back to school at Liberty University online and liking it for the most part. JT is fine.

J is still struggling at school with his attitude. He's a very smart kid but no one ever expected much out of him before he came home. I suspect they did the same kind of things year after year and they didn't have much for resources. He is trying but balks when he feels like it's too much. Same scenario as last year.

T has lost about 25 pounds now. Woot!

A has two soccer games this week. They are both away games and both a pretty good distance.

We picked up hickory nuts and buck eyes on our walk this evening. T and J are cracking the hickory nuts and hoping to have enough for me to make a small spicy nut cake tomorrow. We shall see. The nuts have a cinnamon/maple/brown sugar smell. J's pockets were full and T and I both had our shirt tails up using them as pockets. I'm sure we were a sight.

At the lake Saturday while we were dodging rain drops J kept asking for us to put the "carnival" top up. He was going for "convertible" but it came out "carnival" over and over. Too funny.

Earlier conversation with J;
J-I burn my tongue today.
Me-On what?
J-De hot food.
Me-Well I kind of figured that. (T-Captain obvious.) What was the food?
J-Mmmmm.
Me-What did you have for lunch?
J-I don't know what you call it but it start wif "chef".
Me-Ravioli?
J-Yeah!!

Thank you, Chef Boyardee.
