Late yesterday afternoon a deer was in the garden getting ready to eat my Rose of Sharon bush, it is a small one as I planted a sapling from my daughters garden a couple of years ago. Wanting to protect it and also our tomato plants we cover them with sheets for the night and take them off in the morning.
I did a lot of housework yesterday, only the three bathrooms to do today, ONLY she says. Then I will go into my sewing room for a couple of hours.
My youngest daughter and her husband adopted their first daughter from China in 1999, they were in a group of six families travelling to the same area and all of these babies were from the same orphanage. Being together with these families for two weeks they created a deep bond with everyone. Each year since 1999, all six families have been having a reunion on this, the August 1st, long weekend holiday. The families have taken turns hosting the get together's and having some fantastic times together doing things such as, white water rafting, horse back riding, zip lining, going to a holiday resort and the list goes on. As the girls got older they wanted shopping trips and partying. In March they were in the process of deciding what they would do this year for the reunion, however, the virus put an end to that.
Their second daughter, also from China, was adopted in 2003, however, that group was so big, and came from all over Canada and some from the U.S. so it was impossible to have any reunions for her, however, she and well as all the other siblings go to the reunions and participate in the activities. They are hoping to be able to have a bigger and better get together next year. As I also traveled to China with my daughter and SIL I went to all of the reunions too, such a disappointment for me not to go this year, as it has been lovely to see these girls go from 9 month old babies to young ladies.
Dinner will be left overs tonight, however, have to decide on something for dessert.
Stay well
