God is reminding us to rest. It’s a hard discipline for me, too. But those yellow leaves really pop against the grey skies.

Yup. When it finally cools down here we have to put air in our bike tires.

What’s in the frosting? The boys have been displeased with our lack of frosting in the canned cinnamon rolls. I’ll make frosting from scratch but not the dough.

Watching an old Tatort and they just made a joke about not being a runner…to a man in a wheelchair. 😳

By law you have a minimum of 28 days vacation. Many have more. Kids cannot leave school for vacation; it’s unexcused. So family vacations happen during those longer breaks. Sometimes there’s camps but not a lot.

Hire at least once a month and the rest will be manageable…or by the time it gets bad someone else will show up. 😉

Windows are open and @oldmannola.bsky.social is making red beans. Feels like the best kind of fall afternoon.

2 weeks. Most holiday breaks are 2 weeks; the random one day religious holidays are sprinkled through.

It’s fall break so of course that means one child is running a fever.

Why can’t they get sick during the school week??

The German names are so much better than the English versions!

Always been a thing. We broke their streak in TN when I was there.

This is such a thoughtful thread from Brittany Packnett Cunningham about No Kings.

Don’t yell at me but… No Kings Day is a demonstration and a march. It’s not a protest, or a strike, or a walkout, or an uprising. And that’s not only perfectly ok, that’s actually *one way* movemen...

Love it! Although the parts that are also in Orlando look the same. But I’d love to see the Nintendo section!

Do a marathon. But do it all at once. Later.

Honestly, I pronounce both the same. However, with my Southern accent I also pronounce “pen” and “pin” the same.
