    It's been a busy few days.  Yesterday evening the Rolla school nurses gathered (food in hand) at Sandy's house for an evening of eating & chatting.  It was officially a good-bye party for Adrienne, who's husband got a big promotion...and transfer to Florida.  Hard to feel bad for her.  LOL   It was also a "welcome" to Heather, who will be our new "rotating" nurse. 

    Tonight we are headed over to the Kearbey's...to eat and admire all their hard work on the new deck and landscaping.  I baked a pineapple upside down cake for dessert.  I'm sure lots of chatting and laughter will also be involved.  Adult beverages may also be served.  

    I added another (and final) coat of gesso to the front of the mailbox.  As soon as it is completely dry (perhaps tomorrow) I'll do a light sanding and the painting will begin.  The "prep" has taken a lot longer than I expected. I've had HGTV on all day...hoping for inspiration as I do laundry and daily chores. 

    I pulled out the Almanac to check and see what it says about June...lots of thunderstorms and cooler than normal temperatures.  That fits the month so far. It got up to 81 degrees according to our porch thermometer.  And the A/C even came on once during the afternoon...as the sun hit the west side of the house.

    Hannah is out looking for apartments today.  First she wanted no roommates, then decided she knew someone she met at a previous job who would be a good fit.   It's complicated.  Safe neighborhood.  Close to work.  The parking situation.  OR  rather the lack of parking situation. And of course, the price.  At least she doesn't have a lot of stuff to move.  Unfortunately none of her friends own a truck...but she might be able to call on Big Brother who does have a truck...and lives only 6 hours away...practically around the corner in California travel.
