Up and lunch at home then the afternoon on the laptop. Mike came by with the snowblower (he has it working well) as his grandfather gave him a bigger one to use. We had him in to sit and talk awhile; he's having problems at the job he found a few months ago and we let him vent some. After supper I went downstairs to press the Triple Threats and add them to the Aurora pile then pieced two tops from the 10.5 squares... I'll probably only do a couple more Mountains Majesty for which I set aside specific pieces to work up later.
Sunday-Monday
May. 31st, 2022 11:07 amMemorial weekend and the library is closed so no computer time. Sunday we went to Mike's graduation party and met his family. Played Kings in the Corner with his mother and grandmother. At home I worked on assembling sniglet top both days and both evenings went over to the Waldman's for gaming on ZOOM. Sunday there was only two of us with Agnes as DM so we postponed to Monday so there would be more participants. Monday with Owain and Arne joining in we started new characters for a game we'll use when there's only a few of us. I started with Pepe l'Woohoo, a noble human fighter. The first outing was fairly successful with an aggressive Pepe although Theron's character died and had to be rescued. Unfortunately he was the only one with healing capabilities but was able to get three saving rolls for himself.
Snow... It was only an inch or so. Last year's young man showed up first and I had to wave him off and Mike came soon after with the snowblower and cleared things for us. That was a good investment. Leofwyna's trip is caboshed... Colorado canceled and Texas postponed due to COVID upswing. Lincoln has been in the red a couple weeks now.
Up and a bite. Stayed in as Leofwyna needs a driver today after another procedure. We dealt with that then ate at Olive Garden. Once I dropped her off at home I headed to the library for a couple sessions. At home tonight I continued on the laptop with ancestry while she continued her preparations for Texas and Colorado SCA merchanting.
NOTE: Leofwyna gave the snowblower to Mike to use as he will... part of that agreement is that he'll take care of our drive and walks as needed.
NOTE: Of course that meant the rest of the winter was nearly snowless and he had no need to come use it. Once he graduated from school he found full-time work; we had to find other arrangements the following winter.

Swept off the front stoop and step. Had enough sense not to try to clear the drive and walks as its a really cold day. Scrubbed the stovetop and put it back together before breakfast. Young Mike came by this afternoon and got our snowblower going to clear our walks and drive... a really good fellow to remember us. Gaming this evening with DM Agnes. We dealt with demons and bats but prevailed and continued to another cavern where we already know a dragon awaits us next week.

Up and breakfast. When Leofwyna got up headed out to rake leaves as temps and lack of wind allow. It took us about an hour to gather in the piles in front of the house. Rylan's friend Mike stopped by when he saw us at work and offered his and friend Thomas' help so moving the piles to the compost area went very quickly. I headed out for library time but found it closed so hit Vine Goodwill (no purchase) and Imperial Palace for supper. Home for laptop until bedtime.
9:40... to a windy grey morning. After a slow morning on the computer headed out for lunch. Mike mowed this afternoon and Leofwyna went to Sams with Isadora. I spent the afternoon on Ancestry and after supper headed downstairs to the sewing table to work on the 'kitchen sink' strippie. Talked Leofwyna into ordering pizza for supper... score!
