Ma the Slacker

Well, I have certainly fallen down on my posting responsibilities.

Of course, I still post 99% oftener than Loren, so...

Same way with the Hoyt monthly letter. Ha...If the Hoyt men weren't married, there wouldn't BE a family letter. Though there has been a recent rash of engagements among the nieces which made made for a flurry of unexpected emails...

Well then, what have we been up to, Out Ioway?

Our school started this past week, on the 1st of September.

It's probably a coincidence that I'm taking a weekend splurge, already...going to Ardith and Justin's to cash in on my "Half Price Books" card and visit. Always a great time :-)

All I have to do is get through the next 5 school days.

And today I went, once again, to the courthouse for more weedin'. Three hours and I'm afraid I still have at least two more I could do, but we'll see...

Wracked up the ol' hands a bit, among the rose bushes. Yes I know you're supposed to use gloves, and I did, for a bit. But there was a ton of binderweed and when you're trying to find those thin little stems and where they start around the base of the bushes, wearing gloves just makes it feel like you have hams for hands.

I spent about 30 minutes digging out mini-thorns. I imagine there will be a few more show up that I missed.

There goes my dream to be a hand model.

Oh well, I was made to go on the treadmill. Speaking of which...
