Tuesday in Downieville..

Woke early, again. Wish I could sleep in. I sat at the table and prepared my blog for yesterday. I also prepared the counter for making the matzoh brie. It is so relaxing here, we all get up at different times. Steve’s kids are teenagers so they are on their own; Jeffery is 19, Christopher is 18, and Amy is 15. As each woke they ate, except Amy and Diana who got up after noon time.

We watched a movie and then off to the river for a dunk. Well, they dunked. I took my time and only went in up to my knees. The water is cold. I made an area with the large rocks hoping that tomorrow it would be a little warmer then the rest of the river water. I’m not keeping my hopes up too much.

Back to the house where we changed into street clothes again, watched a movie, and planned dinner. Amy and I got bored enough to organize all the VHS tapes they have here, then we made spaghetti, warmed up the sauce, and baked the garlic bread. Steve, Salome, Destiny and Lizz went into town to check emails and publish my yesterday’s blog.

I am preparing today’s blog tonight. They are watching a movie, again. We don’t have cable or any television service. You can sit outside for just so long in the day. We do play table games as well. It is slow going and quite restful. Nothing exciting today, just the birds making noise along with the whooshing sound of the river. The rushing river is why they can’t catch fish. Usually they just stay by the house and fish. It is usually calmer and lower than this, that’s why they have been trying to find other spots to fish in. For swimming it’s okay because there is an area away from the rapid parts. I stay at the shore area as the older kids, and Steve, have their fun in that cold water. I’m hoping the sun will warm the area I put rocks around so I can sit! Hope you are getting some sun too. Go out and listen to nature whereever you are at. God created them for our pleasure. Enjoy!
