7:15 p.m. already, not exactly sure what became of the day.\u00a0 amy and i took shadow and mollie to the downtown farmer’s market and it was too crowded for mollie, anyway.\u00a0 i bough some edamame and they look kind of fuzzy, which is a little weird.\u00a0 maybe when you buy them at the grocery store, they’ve been de-fuzzed.<\/p>\n
amy and jim and i took a walk and it was hot and humid and very hot and quite humid.\u00a0 the dogs just wanted to lie down in the shade after a while, and we even ran out of water.\u00a0 luckily we all survived.<\/p>\n
luckily also, we weren’t marching around in wool outfits.\u00a0 that’s what kevin has spent the day doing, in a place called bement, illinois.\u00a0 they had some kind of lincoln day there or something and kevin’s newest hobby, the 114th regiment, was there dressed up in their civil war-type clothes including wool pants and jackets.\u00a0 but maybe he didn’t have to wear his jacket all the time.\u00a0 i’m not sure; he’s finally home now, but is now getting ready for cowboy shooting in the morning.<\/p>\n
yeah, that’s a lot of shooting.\u00a0 the civil war thing, it’s not actually shooting bullets, it’s a once-a-week flag-lowering ceremony at lincoln’s tomb, and lots and lots of tourists go there to watch it.\u00a0 they fire their guns but not with real bullets which of course wouldn’t be so good for the people standing around if they were to get hit.<\/p>\n
i think they sat around quite a bit today, at the civil-war-type camp, and they probably told people about what it was like to be a civil war soldier.\u00a0 the wives of the faux soldiers made them chicken and dumplings for lunch which doesn’t sound like the perfect hot weather food to me, but kevin said it was delicious.\u00a0 he also said that the other wives wondered where i was.\u00a0 i told him i hoped he’d told them i was at home WORKING LIKE A SLAVE.<\/p>\n
there is now a huge huge pile of empty boxes on the front porch.\u00a0 this is a very satisfying feeling.\u00a0 there are still many tubs full of framed photos and all kinds of pictures not to mention many many more boxes in the garage…<\/p>\n
but it’s saturday night.\u00a0 enough already with the working.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
still grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
