Wood getting this morning. The girls will not be at the Farmers Market, fun day.

The week has been hard and the girls are mostly unaware of the problems going on around them.  That is a blessing.  They are adjusting to a new bed time, if it doesn't work out then we will adjust it back or atleast back a half hour.  Booboo is very tired when she gets home, she has always sort of needed a nap after school when it first starts and this year doesn't seem to be any different.  She usually acclimates after about a month.  Yogie is struggling with a couple boys in her class, I think they like her and they are at the age where that means they bug her, she is distressed by them and wants their "attention" to stop. She is perceived to be a bit of a tattle tale at this point, I think, I try to talk with her and settle her by explaining what can be explained and trying to help her have compassion for other people.

Last night we got chainsaws fixed and ready to run,  Tires fixed as Poppie had to make an emergency run up a very rough road and ended up getting two flats and driving about 5 miles on the second flat.  A stranger came along and lent him a tire.  The tire is going to be returned today.  Poppie picked up the wood permit yesterday.  Sometimes you just need to get away from the problems and go to the beautiful woods.

We are all excited to have the day without obligations.  Poppie is getting the ax, bucket and shovel, the fire extinguisher is already in the tool box.  Mokie and Son are going to come, Grandpa will come up after the farmer's market is over.  If we go the long way it is 23 miles, we will go the short way and see if it is much closer on the speedometer, I seems much closer; 23 miles on a mountian road can take awhile.  The girls and I will take food and drinks.  We haven't gotten wood all year so it will be a welcomed treat in our lives.  I hope you enjoy your day as much as we plan to.  Nothing is more of a blessing than the Lord giving us a day of hard work and family togetherness. ...... tomorrow.
