Day 91

Siscos and Fosters had breakfast AND dinner at the Club tonight. Oh my! Reguscis were at the pool while we were dining. Again, no movies.

Maybe we're supposed to remember this video session?

Breakfast at the Club.

Closing out the evening after dinner at the Club. Big day!

Might have been the final take for Voices.

Day 90

The Give! Campaign sent over a box of Sasquatch Cookies, a thank you for Jamie's volunteer database work. Everyone loved these cookies. Delivered warm! Fina is getting into all kinds of projects these days. Today was scrunchies (which she's making for herself and friends) and Mickey Mouse ears. Matteo has gotten deep into prepping a Dungeons and Dragons game for the boys including filling out all kinds of forms for each. AJ took Vickie and Rob out to School in the Woods. That was a big hit for all three of them; thanks, Vick, for those pics. While they were out at SITW, Jamie was out at the Flying Horse Foundation doing his 2nd day of volunteering. And after dark Jamie did his first real take for Voices. Matt did ribs for dinner, along with Tracy's mashed potatoes and Lynn's buttered/grilled corn. Round two on the cheesecakes for dessert. Again, no movie tonight.

Sasquatch Cookies, delivered warm!

Buttering the corn...

Matteo's been working hard setting up this game.

Day 89

Big day; lots of fun anyway. And it snowed this morning! First thing, though, Vickie and Rob had to go report that their car's license plate was lost or stolen. This was first noticed when they arrived yesterday. Then on to more important stuff like Nespresso coffee and making cheesecake. AJ worked his recently arrived Mel Chemistry kit. More puzzle action (Vickie brought a couple fresh ones for us). And plasticware glasses production. Matt did grilled chicken legs for dinner. The day finished off with producing a dance video. No movie.

Vickie wanted to see how our cheesecakes were made.
And AJ wanted to help. They were great!

Today's science kit was about light and photo processing.

Fina got into making plasticware glasses.

And modeling her plasticware glasses.

Then she led a dance video production event.

Day 88

Day 88 on the 8th. Siscos arrived from Kansas City at precisely their ETA that held all day, 6:40pm. Nice job. Earlier... The gang had a very hardy cereal breakfast. Pool time was 9am to noon; and the Grill was back open for the first time. Jonny had a morning video meeting with his next year 3rd grade teacher, a reading lesson. Fina continued on her art project. Papa took the four boys to Game Stop. My, was there much deliberation. And it was very quiet in the house the rest of the day as they jumped into the new games. They had earned some money earlier from doing chores which they pooled to get the good stuff. Dinner prep included some grocery shopping, Matt prepping and cooking the pork tenderloin, rice pilaf, Jamie's ceasar dressing on romaine with Matt's homemade croutons, and a wine selection. Tonight's movie for the Fosters was Change in the Air. Oh, and Matt created a new drink, a Caribbean Island (a la Long Island): vodka, gin, coconut rum, triple sec, and a lime wedge on ice. Mmmmmm.

Enjoying the evening on the upper deck. The patio was way too windy.

We're easily entertained these days.

Siscos were driving up at precisely their ETA which held all day.

Day 87

Our intrepid delivery people set out right after church to deliver the Kids Buckets. They were at it until after dinner time. Another windy day, but plenty nice to go to the pool. Our time was 5-8pm so we (the non-delivery people) had dinner there. Fina began work yesterday on an art project made from an old pallet. Tonight's movies: Friends with Kids, and Inception.

No border.
