Home with Jensens
I slept until 7 something. WOW!!! Now for me that's a long time. Note to self. Denny reminded me to take the magnesium that he got per Fay F. to help with sleep ... over 6 hours. for the win. Missy, Anabel and I headed to IG for a Dr. appointment to check for tubercles for her college enrollment. It all checked out o. lShe could just get a blood draw. Anabel was (horrified) that 4 vials of blood were drawn. We came home to visit under the pine trees. Evan went in to meet Josh for lunch. We went in around 2 too get Brooks debit card to work and a BB workout off Brooks and a 4 mile run for Anabel and Missy. I washed the car, picked up things at bidding war, bought cheap sparkly sandals and a pink jacket. Picture is a Evan inDC at a Marco Rubio senate hearing.

Heading to rehearsal
I was awake for quite a bit of time during the night. But I did wake up so I could bake the egg casserole. We packed the pickup and are on our way to Buffalo and then Zimmerman. I am obsessed with the possibility of getting steps for the CSA barn from Sinott's auction. On our drive north I put in bids on about 4-7 items. Lord, guide my purchases. Well, I didn't get anything. Thanks Lord, for your direction. It was raining when we got to the rehearsal for the wedding. Very cool place. We ate inside during the rain and then the sun came out. It was damp and little cool, but very fine!

First Swim meet
Nice and relaxing in the morning. We left for Cherokee abobut1:30. Tessa did my nails at 3:15. The boys had swim pictures and then we watched the kids get ready to compete. Kinda Chilly in the water and in the breeze outside of the water. They use a sharpie to write the events that they are in. They swam in one heat Tyler had Alexa next to him and getting his to the right place. She walked beside him while he was in the pool. He was the youngest one there, I think. The meet got postponed when a storm arrives. During the 45 minute break we went to Cooks and got a bite to eat. The resumed the meet and the boys each were in 2 more events. Before their 4th event the meet was canceled because of the temp and late time because of the weather wait.
