For today’s Random Friday Things post I have an update about what’s going on around our house.

This is Winnie. He is our friends’ dog who we are watching when they are out of town. He’s been a good house guest so far!

On the day that Winnie came to stay, our lawn guy mowed the backyard and uncovered a nest of some sort of stinging insect. The jury was out as to whether it was wasps or hornets, but Winnie definitely couldn’t head out to the yard to pee! At the same time, we had our driveway and garage floor torn out due to the concrete sinking and needing to be replaced. So bringing him out in the front yard could have been hard as well. But he rolled with it. And when our exterminator came he said it was just a wasps nest and it was easily taken care of, so the backyard is open again.

Gabbie mostly recovered from the remnants of her cough and cold and was back to dancing this week. Today is actually her first day of school – pictures soon. On Monday, she had senior photos taken and I will obviously post those when we have them, but here are a few preview photos I snuck on my phone!
Kind of funny that all of these show her looking over her shoulder – they weren’t all like that!

Simon is back! Dave was the designated flight chaperone so he flew out to Chicago and met the camp bus, got himself and 6 kids checked in, and flew home with them. Simon of course arrived with a cold, but in general good spirits.

I have finally started cleaning up my office / book room. It’s a mess. I started with one side and I will work my way around. There were things in my pile from early 2020 that I hadn’t touched since. I’m going bit by bit because I keep getting overwhelmed! And I’m probably saving things I shouldn’t. I have a lot of knitted blankets that I am not sure where to keep or what to do with them!
Have a great weekend!
