Mid-day, mid-week

Second square, and a bit untidy as the heart is as well.  A bit like the way I dress!  The distractions here are so constant, it's hard to do anything neat and...let's say, perfect.  Perfection certainly isn't in my profile.  And, mind, I'm not complaining.  I've noticed that there are variations in what the other students in the stitch-a-long create. Some are so meticulously done, and others are more homespun.  Sweet that everyone finds their niche.

A home day, I think.  Not sure if things will warrant a change in that respect, but I'm hopeful that they won't.  Took fourth and fifth sons out to T*arget last night and got a few things.  New dishtowels...those that look like cloth diapers. Love those.  And some Watkins lemon hand soap for sweet Indian boyfriend's mom.  We'll help them move into their new house on Saturday, and I wanted to leave a little gift there.  Honored to be asked.  Was figuring that they'd ask folks from church, but since we're 'sort of' family, maybe we rank up on the ask list.  Looking forward to that.

Reading Elizabeth Jenkins' book The Tortoise and the Hare and loving it. Found it via Alison at Brocante Home.  I ordered it online here in the US (it was sent from England), and would love to have something else of hers to look forward to.  She wrote some historical fiction as well, but this one, which takes place in the fifties---domestic stuff, is right up my alley.

Will get the clothes washed and hung out in a minute.  Am between loads. They'll dry in a snap being that we'll reach 100 or so today.  An easy dinner of pasta and cole slaw.  I have some frozen veg as well to choose from---breaded okra (oh so yummy!) or brussel sprouts.

Take care, and stay cool.
