And boy, do I need it! This week has been crazy............rather, these past two weeks have been crazy. Actually, the whole month of June has been crazy!!!!! Let me just tell you what this past week has been like, and you'll get the picture:
Sunday - A break day....hanging around the house with family, working on craft projects, reading.
Monday - cleaning the bathroom, and washing/ironing work clothes in the morning; in the afternoon, hanging out with my sister and cousins to celebrate a birthday, then a bonfire with the whole family in the evening.
Tuesday - Work at Genesee Country Museum with 765 children, from 8:30-4:00; Open the swimming pool; bake cookies; crochet.
Wednesday - Work again, with 1000 children, from 9:15-4:00; Go to Bible study.
Thursday - Work, with 900 children, from 8:30-6:30; Go to contra dance from 8pm-11pm.

Today - hanging out with family again, and going to English Country dance this evening.
Yeah....it's been busy. But I LOVE it! I couldn't ask for a better job; I get paid to teach people about history, to make them smile, to dress up in awesome clothes, to eat delicious food, to be outside in the beautiful (and sometimes not so beautiful) weather, and to hang out with awesome people!
But, since it has been so busy, this is the first chance I've had to sit down and weed through pictures and catch up on blogs.
So, first, pictures from Monday. To celebrate my cousin's 18th birthday, we did a scavenger hunt around town. There were 18 tasks, and it was a race to see which team could get the most done in the 3 hours we had. So, we had to do things like:
Take pictures of 18 street names:
Take pictures of 18 random signs:
Do a photo shoot and take 18 pictures of each team member:
Have somebody give you 18 random words, and then take pictures of items that correspond with the pictures:
Do 18 jumping jacks. Go to Starbucks, order something to drink, and talk for 18 minutes. Send 18 texts. Set foot in 18 locations. And many more.......It was an epic day!
Yesterday was a family reunion on my Mom's side. And, honestly, I'm still really not sure exactly how they're all related to me; so, I'm just going to call them all cousins. But, it was a fun afternoon of hearing family stories, looking at pictures, and eating. Lots, of eating! This is a picture of my mom and her first cousins (who she grew up with), and I was sitting in for my aunt, since she couldn't be there.
Next, my to-do-list. Remember that one from way back in April? Yeah, well, I'm getting REALLY close to being done! I just have half of one novel to finish, and the shawl to finish crocheting. But, I have another two projects to add to the list. One, I need to fix the neckline of one of my re-enacting dresses, and I need to finish that by this Saturday. And two, I need to make a scrap book to put all of my many random pictures and other special papers into.
And lastly, just to brag a little - flowers from Stephen Schmidt, the sweetest man and boyfriend in the entire world! =)
