Happy Homemaker 2026-06-29

Goodmorning - still on vacation, start back at work Thursday July 2

Have done errands, got new crown from dentist, ordered online, chores around the house and just relaxed.  Rained on/ off most everyday.  1 1/2 hr telework done throughout the week.

Picked up dd's kids Thursday for supper and dropped them off Sunday.  pheww.... Friday also had ds' kids so all 4 of them could play together (2 - 6,5 years old and 2 - 5 years old), yikes! I am sooooo tired.  DS picked his up for supper Friday night.  Saturday was xavier's baseball game at noon, so made sandwiches for the lot as well as ds' family and sis and bil who joined us there.  Rained most of the game so ate our lunch in the basement of the very small chalet there.  Afterwards sis and bil visited ds' new house and then all came here (except for ds and ddil as she said it was a date night for them ).  4 grandkids + sis and bil slept here.  

While here bil got a call from police they had found his uncle dead in his house (neighbor was worried).  Uncle has no children and 3 people as reference... the other 2 (other side of family) did not respond (learned later one was getting married and other was at his wedding).  Sis says his papers are a mess it will be complicated.  So sis left early on Sunday morning.  We drove last 2 grandkids home for supper Sunday.. phew!  now I need some rest.

SIL sent me my bday gift a beautiful frame 7,5 by 3,5 feet, yikes!  DH wasn't sure about it but we found a place... except the wall is green and would look better with white or beige... so more work for him.  when it is up I'll put a picture.  don't know how long it will take thought.

Today is picking up around the house + 1/2 hour of telework.

My Christmas in July posts will be starting this week July 1st for those interested in following.

Looking around the house

Yikes!

Thinking and pondering
Thinking of sis who was discouraged... she's still doing paperwork for dad and mom and now add the uncle on top  of that (for now as they have no idea who is in charge of his paperwork... bil had gone with him to redo testament a few months back but uncle kept changing things so who knows?)  She has alot on her shoulders right now.
