We went to Sal Val on Thursday and purchased a big tub filled with Lego's for 9.99. The timing could not have been better as the kids had been banned from screen time for a week, starting the day before. The reason for the punishment was that they repeatedly did not listen, snuck the cat into the house, snuck the cat into the minivan, and saturated the inside of the barn from water balloons after being told no more going in the barn. So, the Lego's have been a life saver for me, giving them something to do.
The garden is doing well with peppers, basil, sage, bee balm, dill, and mint. I've only gotten a few ripe cherry tomatoes here and there, but have lots of flowers, so we'll see.
I did touch base about the nurse educator job I'd applied for July 3rd. They are still in the decision making process. At this point, I'll see if they offer me the position. If they do, I'll see what it pays and then Charlie and I will try to decide what we should do.
The kids and I have been going down on the dock for them to swim in the river quite a bit. This summer has been a hot one and we're fortunate to have swimming in our back yard.
Last Saturday we went to Wegman's and stocked up on a bunch of their groceries we were craving. It's been good eating all week.
We've gone to Root's Produce Auction in Manheim several times this summer. Love the prices we pay for produce. No air conditioning in the auction house and outside vendors have kept us from going weekly. Today we may try out another produce auction, this one in Fleetwood.
