Sheep Guarding Llama

Thursday.  Our summer has been an incredible amount of back and forth between Frankfort and Peoria.  We drove back to dad’s house this afternoon.

Tonight I stayed up late getting my laptop ready to install Windows 10 on it.  Liesl is going to be getting this laptop very soon and I will be getting a new one but I have to get Windows 10 installed by tomorrow or we don’t get our free upgrade.  So I stayed up very late working on that tonight.

Dominica stayed in Frankfort as this is her reunion weekend for her sorority.  So she is there all weekend and is catching a ride back to dad’s place on Sunday morning.  It’s just dad and I with the kids this weekend.

So today was the day to hang out with dad.

Wednesday. In Frankfort again today.  It’s just us around the house.  Writing, posting and the kids playing around the house.

This afternoon, Dominica was feeling home sick for Romania and so made wine spritzers in the middle of the afternoon.

We tried some more Walked Dead today.  It’s getting worse and worse.  I’m about at my limit.

Dominica slept in like crazy this morning.  She slept in until almost noon.

Normal day in Frankfort.  Quiet, lots of posting.  Kept busy.

We are on the second season of The Walking Dead now.  It’s getting worse and worse.  I don’t think that I will keep watching it much more.  It’s not well written or acted.  It’s really just annoying and boring.

Monday.  We are still in Frankfort today.  Thankfully out in Rochester there is rain coming down today which is very much needed.  It has been a drought there all season and there is good rain coming today.

I got a bit of a restful day of writing today as SW had their email service down all day so almost no conversations were going on.

We’ve been watching the Jurassic Park series this weekend.  Tonight we rewatched Jurassic World with the kids.  This is our first time seeing it without the girls freaking out at the drive in.  It was a bit better watching it this year.  The girls handled it much better, too.

Tonight I decided to try watching The Walking Dead on Netflix which Dominica has seen but I have not.  I love the TellTale video game and thought that it would be worth giving it a try.  So far, it’s weak.  It looks like it is just cheap and not very interesting it.  But giving it a try.

Sunday in Frankfort.  Dominica and I were the first ones up (other than her parents) and managed to watch several episodes of Stranger Things before the kids were awake.  It’s tough liking so many shows that are not appropriate for the kids to watch.  Getting any time to watch them is almost impossible.

Stranger Things has been growing on us quite a bit.  The story is great and so different from anything that we are used to with a great cast.  The theming from 1983 is so interesting and well done, too.

We took a relaxing day today, mostly shows all day in the living room.  The girls were mostly in a mood to do things on their own.  But Luciana did make me promise yesterday that I would play Minecraft with her first thing this morning when she got up.  So we put on The Andy Griffith Show and played  Minecraft for a few hours together.

Dominica and I went out and did grocery shopping today while the kids stayed at the house.  We had to hit the produce stand, then Aldi’s and finally Walmart in Herkimer.  It was a lot of shopping.

I watched the B movie Apocalypse Earth with Luciana today.  It was not very good.

After dinner, Dominica’s parents took the girls out for an outing to a playground at the marina.  While they were out Dominica and I managed to finish the first season of Stranger Things.  It ended well and we are looking forward to the second season.  Netflix makes really great shows.

Dominica and I watched Borgen, also known as “The Wave” in English, too.  It was quite good, I think.  It is rather like a Norwegian version of San Andreas.

This evening with Luciana, I watched Disney’s Teen Beach Movie 2 which Luciana ended up loving.  She really wanted to watch the first tone, but Netflix no longer has it and she is very sad about that.   The first one was way better than the second one, but the second one had an interesting plot twist and ended strongly.
