Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools, forgetting that they are paving Elm Street this morning. I'm working from home today, hoping to renew my license later this morning. Maria took the boys to school. Now Michelle and Maria are going to try to take a Step class at Golds. 9:01am

Michelle and Maria just returned from Golds. The instructor invited Michelle to lead a couple of blocks of the class "for old time's sake". I'm at the DMV in a short line. 11:07am

Got my temporary paper license. The woman who helped me didn't fit the stereotype we have for DMV workers. My real plastic license should come in the mail later. 11:33am

Michelle has booked Maria's return flight for later this month. 11:59am

Took Michelle and Maria for lunch at Amigos. When we left our house, it was sunny. When we arrived at Amigos it was pouring rain. When we came home it was obvious it never rained here. I then dropped them off at the auto shop where her van was done with its annual car inspection. 1:53pm

The first school bus comes by and neither of our girls stepped off. They are both staying after school. Abby for something band related and Claire for some additional teacher help. 2:58pm

Our friend Kathy stopped by to bring a dinner of chicken and dumplings. 4:07pm

Humor: "In Boston you don't wear 'khakis'... you start your car with them." 4:20pm

The grass is always greener... Ah, so true. Nothing makes our cats get up from whatever they're doing than closing a door. “What? I'm now trapped in this room I was so happily napping in??? I must now get up and paw at the door…” 5:21pm

There were more on and off rain showers followed by sunshine this afternoon. Wrapped up work and enjoyed the donated chicken and dumplings. I can't remember the last time I had a home made batch. So delicious! I'm hoping to bring some leftovers to work tomorrow... 7:16pm

Got the twins tucked in bed with their prayers. Feeling tired too. Good night all! 9:20pm

a workman who causes no disgrace,
imparting the word of truth without deviation.” — 2 Timothy 2
