Garrett prepares to make tea in the tea pot. Tea is back in vogue again. We have had a bit of a cold going around, and everyone was moving slow.
Shopping & Kid fun!

Randal helps to prepare French Toast for breakfast! both he and Garrett are big into helping cook. The big three also can cook, at varying levels. Evan is always fond of whipping himself up some pancakes for breakfast, too.
A rainy birthday party!

Checking on the crumb of my jalapeno cheddar loaf. I see that the inclusions were all grouped toward one end, which looks to me to be an artifact of my shaping process. So, I will adjust that the next time!.

Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.
Early Monday Practice!
Monday, 3 August 2026
Today started early. Arya’s volleyball practice started up today, which of course runs from 0600 – 0800, which means we (well, one of us and Arya anyway) are up at 0500 to get her there.
A happy, but sleepy Arya, is ready to go to practice!
