First day of a short week

It's Sunday evening and we are resting the bedroom with the sliding door open.  We are letting in some of that beautiful cool air.  It sure feels nice.  I was looking at the weather on the computer and we are supposed to get frost tonight.  Everything was wet this morning but not frozen.

We didn't really do anything exciting today.  We just rested up for the week ahead.  Steve will probably stay with his folks tomorrow.  He still does not feel really well, so it is better that he is with people instead of being home alone.  His stomach has been a little queasy today.  NO, it is not because of my cooking.  He had some more pea goulash and Raman.  I think he will turn into a glob of ham, peas, potatoes, and noodles if he is not careful.  He is about as skinny as a Raman noodle.  Although he did gain a few pounds at his last treatment.  I think he looses what he gains in the first two weeks after treatment when he does not feel like eating much.  I cleaned house today...not my favorite activity but a necessary one.  It amazes me how dusting things can get in the course of a week.  I have several meetings after school this week so some days might be a little long for me.  We have a short week since it is Apple Butter Makin' Days this weekend.  We have no school on Friday.  All of Mt. Vernon's kids will be hanging out on the Square.  I might go down and check out a few booths.  We will have to see.

Julia ran her second 5K yesterday.  According to Kimberly's blog, Julia cut off 2 minutes from her previous time.  That is amazing!!  We are sure proud of you, Julia.

Tomorrow, Elizabeth leaves for her month vacation in  Europe.   She will be gone until the 24th.  She is visiting several countries:  France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Portugal.  She is planning on visiting several of her friends who are stationed over in those places.  She has a satellite phone, but she is unsure of exactly what the number is.  She gave us two options so we could try and get a hold of her if we needed.  She is meeting Cathy over there somewhere, but I don't know all those details.
