And so there it is...
I can't believe that I didn't catch that. It sounds a lot like me, though. Once, when I was teaching Pound, I was counting out a stretch that needed to be held for 8 seconds, and said, "5, 7, 8 - what??" I hate to say that I'm terrible at math, but oh, if this isn't a perfect example, I don't know what is.
You know who is good at math? My niece, Ashley, and my cousin, Melissa. Apparently, I need some tutoring.
Thank goodness I have smarter people in my life. Like Brian. Saturday, he was at the Illinois Trucking Association Tech Competition. Isaac and I got to watch a little bit of it.

There were 32 smarty-pants mechanics in the competition this year. They had seven stations where their knowledge was tested on things like engine diagnostics, tires and wheels, and other mechanical things. There were things that were wrong or broken on the truck that Brian was looking at and he had to be able to identify them all. A headlight was out - that's about all Isaac and I could figure out. We would have gotten one point.
The mechanics had about 25 minutes per station. At the station previous to this one, Brian was done in 9 minutes. He didn't win the competition, but he learned a lot!
And while he golfed in the afternoon with his mechanic buddies, Isaac and I washed my car and vacuumed it out. Two horse shows two weeks apart = lots of sand and dirt in and on the car.
We visited the farmers market by our house and found these.
We also grilled and ate outside.

I love summer.
P.S. Today is our 18th wedding anniversary! We celebrated last night with sushi - because it's not really a celebration without sushi. Love you, Brian!
