We’re celebrating our youngest granddaughter’s First Communion this weekend. I’ve been trying to get my cold under control since yesterday, using Sinupret, hot teas, and Mukosulvan. I can’t take other cold medicines because of my severe asthma. I hope I can manage to keep my coughing from disturbing the service; otherwise, I’ll just have to leave the church. *It’ll turn out all right for Mrs. Kern; after all, things worked out for Mrs. Zorn too.* :-) ;-)
Today is my mother-in-law’s birthday, so we’re heading over for the traditional ham carving in a cozy setting.
Tomorrow she’s hosting a brunch, and after that I’ll be cleaning the house.
On Sunday, I’ll visit my husband at rehab—I’m driving to Clausthal-Zellerfeld—hopefully the highways won’t be too crowded.
After the initial spell of summer weather here, it’s gotten cooler again and it’s raining. That prompted me to give my apartment a thorough cleaning. Since I don’t have anything else planned for the weekend (besides the deep clean), I’ll also make some progress on my crafts—if I don’t fall into a deep sleep this afternoon (I’ve been awake since 4 a.m.).
We’re heading to the Shepherd Days in Beuren today. It’s an annual highlight for a large part of the family. After it finally rained yesterday, the sun is shining this morning.
Sheep shearing, sheep bathing, sheep herding, and a picnic are on the agenda. Maybe there will be wool vendors there too, as well as the women with their spinning wheels.
We only have one fixed plan this weekend: we’ve been invited to my sister’s for coffee, cake, and a chat... I’m really looking forward to it. Yesterday and today we sorted things out around here, put up the balcony planters, repotted flowers, and cleared out a few drawers — all the things that tend to get put off.
As a reward, we had a pizza from our favorite Italian place.
It rained almost all day today, which makes nature happy, and we had no excuse not to tidy up...
