Order Out of Chaos

A week ago I posted  a picture and description of the ingenious and positively brilliant scheduling device that The Frau placed on the back hallway of the house.

It worked like a dream.  Who needs a smartphone when you have Post-it® Notes, paper, extra tape and a blank wall.

The grand kids did a fine job of rolling with the ebb and flow of our unstructured scheduling, last minute changes and the vagaries of the weather. And when we got down to the last day there were only two leftover yellow sticky notes remaining:  Making Bread and Running Thru the Sprinkler.

With the exception of a loaf of bread and the sprinkler we accomplished everything we planned to do plus some unplanned events that materialized out of nowhere.  Everything including the Roaster Chicken!

The ten activity-packed days literally flew by in a flash and daughter and the grand kids are gone now.  As a consequence things have grown quite a bit quieter and it's going to be a lonely adjustment without a five year-old waking me up for breakfast in the morning.

Truthfully, I'm plum, worn-out.
