Just as I was beginning to get my energy back, Casey decided to start feeling not-so-great. A lot of his discomfort is caused by over-working shoulders and back, quite the opposite of my sleep-injuries. It does make me wonder how long we’ll be able to stay here on the Acres and keep it maintained properly. I hope it’s just a matter of him beginning to set a new pace for himself, as I’d like to stick around another five or so years.
The toy/play area in our family room has been dismantled and stored away, a sad task for me. I still have a lot of my own dolls and stuffed animals, and now it’s three generations that have played with the Barbie clothes that my grandmother made me. The task had a domino effect of cleaning and curating upstairs and I think I’m what we’ll call a sentimental hoarder. With all of my grandmothers’ and grandaunts’ and Mom’s heirlooms and tchotchkes, my house is full enough, but add in my own “collections” and souvenirs and it’s overflowing. I do love looking through it all every so once in a while and I often say I’m going to clear more of it out, but I doubt I will make much of a dent in it.
The Evansville West Side Nut Club Fall Festival starts today and the whole town is excited for the event, one of the largest and most popular Fall Festivals in the whole USA. We’ll probably pop over to ingest some grease for lunch one day this week and Samantha will be marching in Saturday’s parade with her Dance School, so we’ll see if we can find a seat for that. It’s been decades since I have been to the Fest at night, but it’s something to behold.
Temps are up to 90 today and I’m back in my shorts, but I’m ready for some cooler weather, dang it. Usually there’s a weather change during the week of the Fall Festival, so my fingers are crossed that we’ll start to see some Fall foliage displays.
Hope you’re enjoying Life in your neck of the woods!
Peace
