Your Mood is a 8

You're definitely having a pretty good day. It could be better, but not a lot better!

Just some real quick random stuff:

We are coming down the home stretch with the fence! Well, almost. Mark hasn't been able to leave work early like he had planned so we're only going to complete half of it before we go camping. But, we only have about 20 boards left to nail up and that will be done. Tomorrow is our homeschool park day, then I'm taking the girls to spend the night with their friend in another town.

I've decided to paint my computer desk to match the new shelf I got last weekend. The black is just what it needs and the desk will be the perfect compliment on the wall opposite the shelf in living room. I have the paint for the dining room light but since we're doing the fence in the evenings I haven't had time to get it sprayed yet. Hopefully next week, I can't wait to have it hanging!! My corner shelf and dining table are next on the paint list.

Mark's sister called yesterday. She had talked to their mom over the weekend(his sis's 50th b-day was Saturday) and had concerns about some things their mom had said. Basically, Mark's mom told his sister that their dad has been beating her and bruising her arms up. We've heard this before, and one Mark's aunts had even called about it a few months ago. Mark's mom is 80-something and suffers from dementia, probably Alzheimer's Disease. What happens is that she gets angry at her husband and physically attacks him. He grabs her arms to defend himself and it leaves bruises on her delicate old person skin. He has all of his senses, she does not and has not for a few years. We don't know what to do to help them, they are extremely stubborn,private, suspicious, and paranoid people(way more than the average older person, trust me). I have been reading online but haven't found an answer yet. Anyway, just one more thing we've got going on.

Vibrissae(pl)

The long stiff hairs that project from the snout or brow of most mammals, as the whiskers of a cat. The long modified feathers that grow along
the gape of the mouth of insect-eating birds.

Ort/a morsel left from a meal, a scrap

The dogs won't even eat today's orts!

Aestival/ Of, relating to, or appearing in summer.

This week I'm playing a photo game started by Anet over at Purple Squirrel. Yesterday's word was Aestival. I'll post for today's word this afternoon.***edited to fix link to Anet. Carry on.

Here's what she wrote a few days ago:

I came up with this idea of doing a week of photos depicting the following list of words. I hope others join in this coming week.
Now, I have a little bit of an advantage because I found the words and already know the meanings, but you just have to look them up if you don't know the meanings already. You can find the words at Dictionary.com
One (or as many as you'd like) photo for each day. Be creative and have fun!

Visit her blog for the rest of this week's words and let her know if you're playing along!!

We live in northeast Texas where the summers are typically hot and humid with temperatures in the upper 90s from mid-June through the end of September. Some of our favorite aestival activities include hiking, fishing, swimming, camping, and just being outdoors.

I Found One!

Not exactly like Betty Ninja's, but close enough for me! Turns out I had $13 instead of the $3 or 4 I thought. This cute cabinet was $10 and I bought some daisy dishes too but my camera batteries died before I could get pictures. Something is going on with my batteries, they aren't holding a charge real long these days. Anyway...

There is a groove along the top and bottom where sliding doors used to be so I can put some on, or not. I love it!!
