Today I spent the day kid-less.  A friend and I swapped kids and today was my day to play.
I did some shopping and then met a friend who wants to learn how to play tennis.  I was giving her some tips.  There was a lady teaching some kids on nearby courts and we started talking with her. Turns out she is the high school coach in the next town over.  I told her I would love some tennis partners and she promised she could hook me up.  (I think she even mentioned that one group was looking for a singles player for their league matches next weekend!)  I would love to get back into it on a consistent basis.

After tennis I had lunch with friends and then had to drive up the canyon for a 'work' meeting.  I was not home much, like I had originally planned, but it was a beautiful day to be out.

The last week or so my left shoulder has been giving me problems.  It was getting progressively worse - to the point that I was not using it.  I figured it was time to get back to my weekly chiropractic visits (have not been since before our road trip).  He checked it out and said something about the AC joint and maybe a pinched nerve?  Anyway, he did his stuff and I have probably 90% range of motion back!  It just amazes the body and how people that know what they are doing can manipulate things back to normal.  I am glad I went because I found out he will be out of town next week, so I could not have seen him next Tuesday.  And since I was not using my shoulder much, it was starting to freeze up on me and he said that can take a year to fully recover from.

This weekend B is going on his first weekend trip without mom or dad.  The cub scouts are camping!  I think he is really excited.  He was most excited about the climbing wall and the general store.  I can only imagine what he will spend his money on.  As long as he leaves himself enough money to have lunch on the drive back.  Hopefully he will change clothes (the last camp out with dad, he wore the same thing all weekend long).  With him being gone, JR is thinking about taking the other 2 camping - that would mean 24 hours home alone in my own house.  I could maybe finish a project or two without little hands disturbing my piles!

This Sunday is the last Sunday our church is meeting.  Will be very different but the boys are excited to try some of their friends' churches.

We recently went to a local pond....


The boys had a lot of fun.  We took one of the high school youth group boys!  After playing, they talked 17 year old Gabe into coming back to our house to play!  He also had dinner with us and I don't think I have ever seen my boys eat so much food - they were trying to keep up with Gabe and show him how much they can eat!

Off to bed!
