Both Saturday and Sunday, we walked around our neighborhood in both the morning and the evening.  As we walked, I took particular notice of all the beautiful mature trees along our route.  I am grateful we have such a variety of lovely big trees in the neighborhood. 

Saturday was a mostly "at home" day.  The only time we left was when Charly went to the bank, and I went to Costco.  In the afternoon, I worked a bit on this puzzle that I started several weeks ago.  As you can see, the puzzle is going super slow, but I did make a little progress. I worked on it again Sunday afternoon. 

We had church at home, once more, on Sunday. Later, I did some indexing and took a nap that was wonderful.  I woke up feeling much better.  

We had one of my favorite dinners on Sunday, country fried steak, mashed potatoes and country gravy and stir fried veggies and ramen noodles. 

I started a new book Sunday night, before bed.  Charly has been wanting me to read a Preston and Child book, so this is the one I choose.  I was tired so read only the first two chapters, but I was left wanting more, so I will read it again tonight.  

Monday, it was back to school. We had another big teacher meeting in the auditorium, in the morning, then in the afternoon we had time to work on lesson plans in our classrooms. 

After getting home, we ate dinner, then decided, since we had nothing else going on tonight, to go get our flu shots since we heard on the news that they are now available. We actually went three different pharmacies in search of a flu shot - Walgreens, Walmart and CVS, but the shot was only available at CVS.  Charly, Josh and I all got the flu shot, and I also got the shingles vaccine.   

When we got home, Charly and I went for an evening walk around the neighborhood, then I watched the Democratic National Convention for a while. Don't worry, I plan to watch the Republican National Convention as well.   I'm kind of a political junkie and enjoy watching political conventions.  I know, pretty weird, but I've always been interested in politics, since I was little girl listening to my dad and his mother talk politics. My grandma had a picture of John F. Kennedy in her little kitchen dining area.  By the way, Michelle Obama's speech was pretty awesome!  I have always thought she is a class act.  

That was my weekend and the beginning of the new week.  I will close with a quote by Michelle Obama, that I love. Have a good week.
