Week 21

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  It was weird for us because we traditionally open the pool for the summer on this weekend but because there were thunderstorms and it's cooler than normal no pool yet. Hopefully within the next couple weeks it will be time for a good swim at Justin's graduation party.  Otherwise it was great to have a 3-day weekend and it's an honor to remember those who lost their lives serving our country.

Here are last week's pictures:

Day 140- Monday, 5/20/19

We started the week off with low lying fog which is highly unusual for us in May (normally happens late Oct through Jan or Feb) and I'm pretty sure it's happening this morning because it rained last night and is supposed to be warm today.  I'd really like to have our usual May weather back--Hot, hot, hot!

Day 141- Tuesday, 5/21/19

Another unusual sight--I'm wearing a sweater in May.  So crazy that it's a bit windy and cold out.  Feels more like March.  Regardless, in the lab, we have environmental water samples that I'm pumping through a filter to test for pathogens and this is my set up.

Day 142- Wednesday, 5/22/19

Since Survivor is over we get back-to-back episodes of Amazing Race on tonight.  I love seeing the places around the world they get to experience.  Makes me want to travel more.

Day 143- Thursday, 5/23/19

Finally we are seeing the right type of Dr. about Justin's cranial and facial oddities. He pretty much told us there is nothing to worry about.  It's just boney scar tissue build up that happens for no good reason and as long as it's not causing pain or affecting his life there is no need to mess with it.   I was never too worried about it but his neurologist REALLY wanted some answers which put me a bit on edge.  Now we have the right professional's opinion and can move on.  It's just another quirky thing about Justin that makes him so unique.

Day 144- Friday, 5/24/19

We have a break in the rain which made for a nice afternoon so Bella and I decided to spend it outside in the backyard pruning a few things here and there.  She enjoyed this time and so did I.  It's a great way to unwind from the work week and at least the rain has helped bring us some pretty flowers.

Day 145- Saturday, 5/25/19

Time for a night out.  John and I spent most the day, between rain showers, working in the yard trying to get it ready for summer.  It's a jungle out there.  Then we met up with Sharon and Richie for a little wine tasting and dinner in the Auburn area.  The wine wasn't that great but dinner was wonderful and the after dinner drinks were just as good. Plus the rain had stopped for the day so it was a really pleasant evening to be out and about.

Day 146- Sunday, 5/26/19

We started the day with more rain that sprinkled on and off through the morning but the afternoon was nice again so we'll take it.  You can see all the thunder clouds really well against the blue sunny sky.  John made us fresh fried chicken tenders for dinner and they were a hit once again.  He's perfected achieving that beautiful golden color.  Hopefully tomorrow he can do ribs for Memorial Day dinner--weather permitting of course.

OK!  That's it for now.  It was a crazy one in the weather department but kind of a chill week otherwise.
