Oh, my aching stumps

'Cause the feet were walked off a coupla hours ago.

Finished the lawn at 7:15, and thanks to kids helping out with supper, it was only 20 minutes late, which means we dined before 8:00, ha, ha.

And it must be told that I mowed all by myself, today. Thankfully just the "easy" part around the house. Still, it was 8-10 inches tall in places.

My helper options were few, since Ethan's sick, Melinda is still working on school, Carolyn has a heart condition, and Kendra had big plans to unpack some of her 35 bags she took to the reunion.

So yes, it was up to lil' ol' Ma to sweat and groan in the 95 degree heat index.

But I'm not complaining, oh no.

Speaking of Kendra, she got a call today from one of the graduate schools to which she applied...they want an interview!

Woo Hoo! Good times in academia, fer sure.

Now she merely has to find out what one does at an interview.

Naturally I'll be coaching her on deportment, dropping my name, and my strongest point, professional dress.

But that's not all of the tributes, oh no....Sharon has officially accepted a full time position at DePuy, where she's been working, lo, these several years.

Kudos to the womenfolk!

And since I've also gotten in all my whining points, it is now time to take a hot bath and look up those old friends of mine, acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
