"On the Road Again"…. Been on the road most of the day it seems. Day started with picking up the girls for school; Mom has to be to work at 9:00 and school starts at the same time. Time for a cup of coffee, as they finish getting ready. Luckily I am retired and fill in wherever needed.
Next, it was off to a writing class for ages 60 and older to enter Silver Pen Essays. This is my third year that I have participated. This year it is "Then and Now" – What are your dreams? How your life has changed? – Technology, i.e. electronics, cooking, movies. How is life different than it was 20 or 30 years ago?
I will have a second class next week that is beneficial before submitting the essay. Check your Community colleges for a schedule of writing workshops, classes and activities…
Came home and had an iced tea plus chicken and lettuce salad with Valdalia Onion dressing; if you haven’t tried that dressing, it is delicious… Dropped off some papers for a family member and went to the feed store for pigeon food.
Yes, you read right – pigeons. We now have pigeons on our farm; some are tumblers and perform acrobatic shows. Quite unique… There are also some new animals – the two mules and two horses are now guests on our farm. My daughter asked the owner if we could open the field to them and he said, "Yes." The field was overgrown with grass and weeds, and they are excellent "lawn mowers." The kids love them, and the families will go to the farm tomorrow. My daughter asks the young mule to smile, and she opens her mouth like she is laughing.

Children go to year-round school in our district; keeping up with the schedule is interesting. The current year started in July, and three are in school all day. Picked up the girls at school, and they were anxious to visit our puppy who had a trip to the vet. Been cooler all day showers off and on, our summer days are coming to an end… Was a busy day, but a good day!
Your day sounds busy, but productive. Your writing assignment is intriguing. I might try some of it.
