Three

Yowza!  My countdown is at three.

I'm feeling pretty good about what I've accomplished in the past couple weeks. My co-worker is able to use the notes I wrote, so those efforts were successful.

I am caught up on my month-end processing tasks, so the next three days I can try to keep up with the work that comes in. (I say "try" because the volume of work is always high!)

Yowza!

FOUR!

Last day of the fiscal month was yesterday, so it was a busy day at work.

A few more busy days at work ahead... four days, to be exact! 🤓

Another August Birthday

We have more than one August baby in our family. Today's birthday girl is sister Kim. Mom and I recorded a "Happy Birthday" video on my phone. Mom and I agreed that Kim would like the video, and we were right. Happy Birthday, Kim!

The Little League Baseball World Series is in the books. Michigan beat Ohio to win it all. I predicted the outcome of this game correctly, believe it or not.

After the game, Lew switched over to the golf tournament. It ended in a tie so it went into playoff holes. I think it took six holes to decide the winner. Patrick Cantlay finally edged out Bryson DeChambeau. (I had to google that just now since I couldn't remember the winner's name.)

And my countdown resumes.... Five!

0 For 2

I am glad that I don't bet money on anything. I would have lost big-time if I had bet on the Little League World Series games today!

I thought South Dakota would beat Ohio. And Hawaii was a sure thing against Michigan.

I was wrong and wrong!

Ohio and Michigan will play for the championship tomorrow. Should be fun!

Five

After the weekend I will work my last Monday at my current place of employment.

After that will be my last Tuesday.

And then the last Wednesday.

Let's not forget about the last Thursday and the last Friday.

Not that I'm counting or anything...!

Waving Good Morning

Tuesday morning Lew got my car out of the garage and kept it running, ready for me to head to work.

As I was opening the car door to get in, a man rode by on a bicycle. The front of his bike had some sort of carrier, in which was seated a very young little girl.

This sweet child saw me and waved. 

I waved back.

She made my day!

Dad 582: This Old World of Crises

(Dad writes today. And my countdown is at seven! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Seems like we are at the start of a summer weather pattern for the next week or so. We'll take it! Hope the A/C can handle it.

 

The world seems to be on the verge of collapsing. The greatest country in the world doesn't seem to be acting like the greatest country. There is so much going on that seems so negative. A positive thing is our belief that God is in control, so I know all is okay.

 

Surely the mess in Afghanistan has taken all other news out of the news cycle, taking the heat off of other potential newsmakers. We'll never know a lot that is going on until the Taliban takes over in the area (perhaps it already has).

 

Still visiting Mary Lou every afternoon for around 2 to 3 hours. Hopefully we will be able to get her out for a few rides around town. We do some puzzles every day. Also watch shows like Gunsmoke and Andy Griffith. Sure would like to have her at home if we were able to care for her at home. Will continue on as we are and see what follows.

 

Pray for Mary Lou. Pray for our world.

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!
