Day #5292 – (Tue., July 2, 2024) – First Viola/Violin Lessons!
The hens blessed us with two eggs this morning (see photo to the left). I wonder why only one egg on some days and two eggs on others?
I was going to go to Innova Doors this afternoon to see about a quote to have an automatic gate installed, but my wife took the kids to their first viola/violin lesson. It closes at 4 pm, so I mowed some more lawns instead (see photo to the right).
The kids like their new Suzuki Method viola/violin teacher. They said that she is very nice, and young too. I’m glad that they like her. It will be all that much easier to get them to attend viola/violin camp next month.
Kids are coming out of the woodwork now that school has closed. There are apparently a lot of boys around Bobby’s age, and according to him all of them have bikes. My great desire is that he will enjoy biking with them so much that online play such as Roblox and Minecraft will take a back seat! There is also a Scottish family down the street who came her last year. They have three girls around Katie’s age. I told Katie that Scottish girls are very nice, so hopefully she will develop a great friendship with them.
This evening Katie and I went out for a Daddy/Daughter Chat Day and to Costco to check out the tv stands. We’re thinking of getting a floor version, rather than one that attaches to the wall, as we’re not really sure where things in the “Barn Suite” will be placed. I still have hopes of setting up a music studio and flight simulator, and my wife is thinking about a couch. We do have a new rug though, one that was too big for the “Main House”. Alas, they didn’t have any floor models of tv stands, just ones that attach to the wall (see photo to the right), so the search continues.
My wife texted me this info this evening regarding families in the area:
- Family next to Grey Gables: Brittney and Chris have five boys: Brodie is 9, Hudson is 7, Parker is 6, Westin is 3, and Oaklan is 9 months.
- Down the road is Michael from Scotland and his wife Jen. They have three girls: Maddie is 14, Abi is 12, and Rosie is 11.
