Where has the time gone???

 Tomorrow is the last day of school for Drake and Charley. Drake will be a senior this year 😲🙌, and Charley will be in the 4th grade ( I swear I just sent her to Kindergarten yesterday.) Charley didn't get to finish Kindergarten, it was March 2020 and Covid became a thing. This has been her first "normal" school year. She has LOVED having Mrs. Heizer as her teacher and we are all going to miss her so much! I cannot believe Drake will be a senior either! He cannot wait to be done with school! If I'm being honest, I will be glad when he's done with school also!  

So many of my "favorite" village kids will be graduating the 5th grade tomorrow. I wish them all the luck in the world and know they will all do great things! I hope they all know I'll just be a the Mercantile when they need me. 


Tripp, Tyler & Sydney will all go to Middle School 😃

 

Wishing you sunny skies and green pastures,

McKession

Day date 3 generations Chicken ladies     It's 10:00p.m. on a Sunday night and I am still waiting for the laundry to get done, I'm listening to a live "Reel" on Instagram from The Budgetnista. If you don't follow her, DO IT! She's amazing and has some great advice. I'm a multi-tasker. I can watch/listen to this reel and type this blog and wait for the laundry to get done and and and. You get my point.  I feel like the month of September was a blur! The pictures above are just a fraction of what I have been up to. We had some extra catering jobs through the Merc. Charley has cheerleading and church on Wednesday nights and then all the other house/business owner/wife/mom chores there are also. Like why do my people want to eat every.day?!?!? I am learning to delegate and let the kids do more (although it won't be done the way I would do it, I need to let that go and let them do it) and it really hasn't been that bad. I keep reminding myself "at ...

Cherishing Togetherness

  9/15/12 - Our wedding day 9/15/24 - Mr. Bill turns 90 9/13/24 - because it's too pretty not to share with the world!!     This weekend was a weekend for celebrating. Garrett & I "celebrated" our 12th anniversary on Sunday. I put "celebrated" in quotes because we actually didn't do anything. I went to church, Garrett farmed, then we went to my mom's to help close the pool for the winter. It's not really about the pomp and circumstance for me. Anniversaries are like Valentine's Day in my opinion, you should show your person you love them daily, not just once (or twice)  a year. At the end of the day, we are both just grateful for the other and the role each plays in this marriage. Marriage is not 50/50. Sometimes he is giving more than 50% and sometimes I am. Sometimes I have to be the primary parent and sometimes he does. We are a team, we run this family like a mildly well-oiled machine 😆. When I met Garrett in 2009, I don't think he k...
