A Fun Friday

The girls and I went out and scattered some RANDOM kindness around our town this morning. Neither had had time yet...and I realized most of what we'd done was targeted. It would be nice to just fling things out there for whoever....We didn't have the emotional energy to risk having to tell the story over and over and so we hit on parking lots. Yes, I will add a QR code with the story to the card by next year. While I went into the lawyers Stacia hit the Papa Murphy parking lot. We headed over to the Urgent Care next and finished at Bishop's Attic. That was my favorite - we left gift cards on every windshield.


We ran out of packets and headed home. Allie was ready for a study break, so we grabbed all the other made-up packets and headed out again. This time we went to the library and parking lot of the Old Alaska Club. 

This was a great pick me up. It was fun to give things to targeted people too. Stacia shared how this was something Josiah would have loved to do with us...and we could imagine his voice and comments. We dubbed ourselves the Kindness Bandits. 

In other events...Krista came over and spent the day yesterday. We did a fair amount of visiting while practicing "art therapy." Michael wanted to move the hot tub...we all tried to help him. It was frozen. Finally he rigged up chains, levers, pullies and he and Krista got it moved. 


Ellie turned 7 months old....

The electrician arrived and put cable in the trench Michael had dug. He didn't put boxes or plugs deckside yet - but it's coming. 

"Bright" and early this morning I heard Cory outside. He came to fill in the electrical trench. I didn't realize the boys were here until I went outside to let the chickens out. This is Clancy (or Gimpy) our pet chicken. She's walking much better, but the others have rejected her. She isn't fast enough to escape them. 


They came inside for some orange juice and toast....and a visit with me and Millie. 


I'm heading into Eagle River for a sleep over with Carrie and the girls. I'll hang out with the girls tomorrow while Carrie works. 

GRACE NOTES:
1. Time with Allie and Stacia. 
2. Cory's young back and kind heart.
