Busy Day!

Since waking up at 5:30 this a.m., Don and/or I have:

1. fed and watered the animals
   
2. done laundry


3. set up the kids' pool


4. mowed and edged the entire yard


5. washed the car and the truck


6. made breakfast, lunch, dinner


7. took a nap (that was me)


8. picked raspberries and made 4 quarts of jam


9. worked on the trees at Radnai's


10. watered the garden and lawn


11. cut wood to frame three windows


12. took Jordyn potty 25 times


13. Made popsicles, lemonade, sun tea (Lee, those popsicle holders work great!)
    

Phew, no wonder we're exhausted!

We're not the only busy ones. Dylan went to work at 9 this morning and still isn't home at 9 tonight! He picked up a shift tomorrow so now he'll be working a 15-day stretch...only one of the days was less than 8 hours. He's taking the "making hay while the sun shines" theory seriously. I'm very proud of him. I never labeled him as being a hard worker, but apparently he works just fine for the Krauses. He is also starting to teach trumpet lessons! I know a family from cadets whose son is entering grade 7 in the fall and playing the trumpet then. So he wants to take some lessons over the summer so he's got a head start. They're paying Dylan $10/hour, so it's a good deal for everyone (I think). His first lesson is tomorrow evening, after a full day's work at the berry farm.

Nathan just called. He's having the best time of his life. The weather is perfect. He taught a class on the whaler (a type of boat) today. He's going to try to get ahold of Sean tonight so he can call home too.

I think that's all the news from our neck of the woods!
