Good afternoon! It has been totally overcast here today; I think we had some rain around 7 am, much needed and there is more in the forecast the next few days.
Can't remember when I last posted, but dh and I have kept busy this week with ordinary routine, etc. with some extras.
Tuesday afternoon Ds#1 and his dfamily came to visit. They thought we might be moved by the time they get home from their trip and wanted to see us. When suppertime came I suggested making a trip to W-M for some fried chicken dinner. Ddil-D, dgson15 and dgd18 came with me. We ended up with the chicken, pepperoni pizza, BEvans mashed potatoes and salad with mini donuts for dessert. Everything was gone except the potatoes. The whole family left this morning on a trip to So Dakota with their boy scout troop. It is a 10-day trip (three days travel both ways and four days to tour the area. Some of the sites will be Mt. Rushmore, Wind Cave Natl Pk, Crazy Horse Mem. and an archeological dig site. A wonderful trip of a lifetime for some.
Wednesday, Mr. NewHomeOwner came to pick up another pile of mail delivered to him here. He says he told everyone he knows not to send mail here. I don't mind, I just keep stacking it up for him. He told us we can stay here until July 1, as his friend's daughter will not move from her house till the middle of July. He has offered to help us any way he can. He is a really nice man!
Yesterday was errand day. We made a trip out to two grocery stores to pick up RX refills at both places. We also filled up a shopping cart full of groceries, almost $200 worth, so our pantry is full again. Also stopped at a local gas station to fill up the car. I also worked out in the yard for a while, cutting up the palm branches. We can't just pile the branches up by the curb for pick up. The trash company will not take them loose, they have to be cut no longer than four ft. and tied in bundles, or put in bags. Makes extra work for us.
Today my focus is to finish putting away groceries from yesterday. When we come home, dh always starts putting away the refrigerator and freezer items, then we put away most of the other supplies. Sometimes some has to wait till the next day if I am in need of a rest. I am also catching up on laundry. I found a load of clothes in the dryer from last weekend ---
I have one load in washer now and another waiting. I spent some time grooming dMinnie. She is shedding her winter coat a lot. She even lets me run the vacuum hose with the small brush attachment over her. That gets the sand and dust out as well as some of the loose shed. She's looking good now!
Hello
Harriet. We are making progress towards our move. We packed up our large pictures
yesterday, no, it was Wednesday. Had to find a tall box, then we wrapped them in bubble wrap. Next to do is our clothes, keeping out just enough to last two weeks, like we would pack for our vacations.
Harmony, I'm hoping your eyesight will get stronger again, even if it takes a little longer.
Oh,
Congratulations to your dd graduating today,
Madhouse.Waving hello to everyone....
