Hello Friends!

Another week of watching church together with Dh online.  I have to admit to liking watching church from home and not worrying about the mask issues.

 

Hot tub:

Dd’s boyfriend fixed our hot tub and we have also enjoyed some time in the relaxing water!  It really is quite nice to look up at the stars at night outside with the woods all around.  There is a leak that we haven’t been able to find, so we are enjoying it while it lasts!  Dd has had her friends over a few times to share the experience with them.

 

Garden:

This week, I planted fall spinach!  I also canned almost every day; it was my priority instead of painting on the house.  It was nice being inside out of the sun! I canned green beans, kale, and tomato products---whole, sauce, and paste.  I have been running the tomatoes in the crock-pot for a few days to cook the tomato sauce down to a sweet caramel paste.

 

Health:

I went back to my heart/vascular doctor to discuss the findings from the stress test/echo test that I took last week.  They gave me new guidelines---compression pantyhose, drink electrolytes, no caffeine, keep up my running on the treadmill…. They said I was “too healthy!” Funny!

 

Dd Progress:

Dd continues to be very much independent and out and about on her own.  Between work and her friends, we don’t see her very much.  She does continue to fill out her homework sheet:

German: DuoLingo: 7 sessions:  1:30 hours

Biology: Apologia: 4 sessions:  1:40 hours

Physical Exercise: 7 sessions:  9:45 hours
