Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
I love John, but I would love to get more than two months out of a pair of his shoes. Every time I think he has figured out every way possible to ruin a pair of shoes, he finds another way. This time, John split out the side, so it was an emergency trip to Academy for new Nikes. Is it bad that I am looking forward to the day that he is growing so fast that he out grows them in two months?!? Boys!
We sold John’s castle recently to one of his old teachers who wanted “Hogwarts” for her classroom. With the castle now gone, John got a television for his room. He also got our old Xbox. Andy will add a small shelf for the Xbox and then John will be all set up. He discovered that he can watch YouTube and Amazon Prime Video in his room. Netflix does not work as there are currently problems with the app for Vizio televisions (it does not work on our bedroom television either). John is excited and both kids think it is super cool. We shall see how this goes!
My 4 1/2-year old, beloved Kindle bricked over the weekend. It was a sad say and Amazon tried to help, but I had already tried everything they had to suggest. The Amazon customer service person was actually impressed that my second generation Kindle HD Fire had lasted this long. I got happier when he said, “A new one that is bigger than what you have is $300 less ($149) than what you paid for that one and I bet Best Buy has one in stock.” So, today, begins a new Kindle chapter. May this one also have a long and well-loved life!
Sometimes, all you need is a bike and some time with your husband. It was a great, Sunday afternoon ride even on my tired legs. And, with just over 1,150 miles for 2018, I am officially over my total for all of last year! Only 850 miles to get to my 2018 cycling goal!
John and his friend, Caleb, are having just a miserable time at the pool today. I feel so bad for them…
It is just another Friday night at the ballpark.
The weather system has moved through and it is raining. The temperature has dropped thirty degrees. It is beautiful and the air conditioning is off!
