But I don't want to.

hmm, thinking

garden raised bed

 被百香果和二荆条的野蛮生长鼓舞，开始research garden raised bed...

I am planning to take part of my garden back...

show about DUG

 Not sure why I am so happy to watch the trailer for DUG stories. The kinda seque-show for "Up". 

I think I am craving for the more detailed chapters after happy ending. The happy ending for Kevin and the old man, and of course the dog, DUG. ;)

message place

 well, after last visit, my back and neck was hurting so much I had to do more stretches, not sure if it was the treatment or my self imposed stretching do the job, I am not as tight as a stick any more. Yesterday I had the second visit to the place, and I had a small accident during parking. My insurance will be called by the Lexus lady for sure... :( 

And now, my back and neck is hurting so much again... I had to self impose more exercise and stretches now...

hmm, is this message/acupuncture thing working or not...

A Fifth grader !

 She is in the fifth grade now. First day of school.

a piece of news arriving today

 The news I have expected ever since I heard the parting news of other members of the gang before. 

ok. 

todo: Pompeii

Hopefully will go before the show is over on 8/29.

message

 Last Friday I went to another message place, this time the lady has used her feet again, and, eh, I was almost squashed by the stepping... :( 

But, now I was totally stressed and many tight knobs and even the messaging lady was a bit scary, I still need that. 

Meanwhile, I am getting back to stretching, and walking. The ski season is not far away, I do need get back to exercise habits.

These Happy Golden Years

 She wanted to listen to Little House on the Prairie books again. We just finished this one. We were happy for Laura Ingall's growing up. 

During the first round listening to the series, I have been paying more attention to how risky Ingalls' family were actually going through. The totally self-resilience required for the early explorers' family. The risks they underwent. While, I think she probably enjoyed the series fully from the kids' point of view. The happy childhood days, the loving parents, the 100% capable father, the loyal siblings. And the Chirstmas gifts, the happy laughs. 

As we read for the second time, especially this book, I do enjoy the happy side of her stories.

Fall semester starts tomorrow

 The fifth grade is here.

We are stopping the Chinese weekend class. 

Also we are canceling one math class too. Hope this is a correct decision.

game is over, but maybe will continue watch sports

 from on.

YouTube TV allowed to watch replay of all sports from Olympics. This is nice. Besides the Volleyball, Gymnastics, Field and Tracks, we also got chance to watch Archery which turns out to be a very very exciting sport! And Women Volleyball games! 

Message 2

 I went for the second message, this time Hanna didn't use her special technique, ie. stepping on me, it was a bit disappointing...
