Dad visit.

Nice visit with Dad and Jennifer.  It was a bit short (3 days), but probably enough.
Took them to Anderson Gardens and downtown to the river.
Ate out pretty much every meal- more food in three days than we usually consume in a week.
They left for Chicago on Wednesday.  I think they leave today to return home.

Dad getting older and I think he is reflecting on a number of things.
Apologized for not being a good father.

Mom, for whatever reason, did not want to see them.
Originally, I thought it would be a good idea to meet Adam and Martina near Woodfield for lunch, so Mom could visit a bit, but she did not want to.  I did not push it.
She came up yesterday, for David's Bday, so another dinner out.

Common areas finished prior to Dad's visit, at least the painting and set up.
David did a nice job organizing the bedrooms, so they looked nice.
Still things to do- casework in DR; new TV in LR (and furnishings).  Artwork throughout.
Bedrooms to paint.

David and I had class on Monday night for foster license renewal.
David set a "ready date" for 07 Aug (email to Patty), so things to do.
She knows we only want one, but was pushing for four.
We will only have the one room done.

We had rain finally.
A big storm blew in Wednesday night- a bit over an inch of rain.
Wind blew out a lot of the dead stuff, but no major damage here.
Veggie garden a bit of a mess.
Power out in parts of Rockford, but not us (just flickers).
Nothing more in the forecast, at least nothing significant.

Second PLS class this summer.
Easy classes, but time consuming.
Have a third the first week of August.

Working out schedules and classes at Orangeville.
I am planning to go in this coming week to begin room(s) set up: Spanish first, then art.
Have to go through everything in the basement, as I do not want to bring it all.
I am hoping to have the old art room for storage, as I do not want to bring in all of that stuff (although, I still have to go through it all).
Unless it is an extraordinary job, this is going to be a temporary thing- two years max is the plan, while looking for something closer.

Job posted on the Freeport website.
Never heard from anyone, other than Ms. Norman about not getting reimbursement for classes.
Found a video I need to return, so I will have to go in again.

Otherwise, OK.
A lot to do though.
