Tuesday Tidbits and Stuff

I am a bit achy and very tired today. I know it is because I have overdone things the past two days, and the weather is very up and down. 

Tonight we are going to be attending one of our summer theater productions. This one is based on the music of Abba and of course Momma Mia. It should be good, if I can manage to stay awake. 

I have been working out a few more details about Jerry as well. I am sorry but I forgot who mentioned our names all start with "J". Actually my Dad's name was Jack (Jacob) and my Mom's name was Jean. We were always known as "The 6 J's" among family and friends. Strangely I hadn't thought of that in years. 

We have been working on getting some very necessary painting done outside. I am not sure if the deck will be repainted totally this year, but the railing and wooden furniture will be. I will also get the wooden windows painted as well. 

I have begun to do the dehydrating of herbs. Today I did some basil, mint, and oregano. Tomorrow I hope to do some thyme, more oregano and some parsley. Definitely need to keep up with that this year. The last few years have not been good for growing basil for some reason. I am hoping that this year is better. 

There are only a few (well tonight, tomorrow, and part of Thursday) to get ready for the reunion. Pretty sure I will make it, but man things are getting much more complicated every time we do this (and we do this every second year in Harvey's family). 

I find that the pressure to get things together, and make meals or pack food is slowly grinding me down. I am also the last one to learn anything or hear anything so these reunions are very hard on my nerves. I don't want to say or do anything wrong or his family looks down their noses at me. Stressful really. Harvey used to say that it was my imagination, but one time he really noticed how I was being treated and realized what had been going on pretty much since his parents passed away. I keep on plugging away though spreading cheer whenever I can.

I have gotten supper started, and we should be eating with enough time left for me to get dishes cleared away before it is time to leave. I will let you all know how the production was.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. God bless.
