• Reagan left first this morning, and I was up not too soon after she left. Actually, I was awake at 6:30 this morning; I thought that I heard someone's alarm going off. I knew it wasn't Reagan's since it was too early for her alarm, and no one else in this house would be getting up that early. I puzzled if it was the refrigerator alarm (we now have 5 of those alarms), but it wasn't those. By this time, I had woken myself up with the alarm mystery. I still don't know what it was.
• The morning was kind of quiet-Keaton went to a friend's house this afternoon. Robby took her, and I had to take Graham's blood pressure cuff back to the nutrition center. I did leave with his complete payment so he was pretty pleased with that-I should have taken my mileage from him though. 
• Reagan came home at lunch, and then she headed to her dentist appointment for her fillings. She was going to play pickleball this evening, but work and the dentist completely wore her out. Campbell and Keaton were not happy that she is already asleep tonight.
• Whitman and I made bread today-I'm still not used to the new oven; I guess that it is just going to take some time to figure it all out. I'm not good with change, and it is kind of exasperating me a little bit-especially since our large loaf of bread got a bit burned, and the small loaves were a bit underdone. However, everyone didn't seem to mind when they were fresh out of the oven. 
• This evening Robby had just left the house to run some errands-he was still on Lawson-when he got rear ended. He was in Grandpa's car, and even though it wasn't his fault it is still a hassle. However, he is fine (a headache tonight and will probably be sore tomorrow) so there is still much to be thankful for.
• Anderson drove everyone to Raymar for Bible study tonight. The big boys were going to play pickleball afterwards so I left the Wilson's house where we were watching the ballgame to get them. There were a lot of kids there, and Whitman was playing with his buddy when I pulled up so I just let everyone play for a few more minutes. 
• I dropped them off at the house and then hurried back to the Wilson's house to watch the end of the baseball game. Now, we are home-Whitman is building a fort in the bonus room, Reagan is asleep, Campbell and Keaton are trying unsuccessfully to be quiet in their room, Robby is showering, and Anderson and Graham are out playing pickleball.
