Morning all. Kittykat I am sure the weekend will be fine if the guys are off doing their own thing during party time but entertaining him for the rest of the time is frustrating. Glad he's figured out you know something about cats lol.
So the kids are off for the weekend trissie? Enjoy your quiet time. Yikes on the rush to get there.
Frenchie your goals are good for your stage. You are doing well.
Helian I'm sure it will be fine to just respond once you finalize your plans that you have travel plans for that time and won't be available right then. You know that is easy for me to type that response but I would fret over it as well. Yay on finding the sweater.
Well I wonder what I can get to today. A lot of it is determined by weather. Atm its 630 am and looks good but nope not going outside yet. Hopefully it holds for a while cause we need to mow. And figure out the garden. If it does rain too much inside work can be done too. That is never ending.
I also have music prep. I am filling in tomorrow. Maybe as a start getting back into it somewhere? Maybe just once in a while. Im not planning on leading just playing and singing with the guy I was playing with. It turned out that his grandkids are growing up and they are doing well learning to lead. And their mom has stepped into the piano for them. I may eventually join the other team or maybe there's someone else eventually to join me?
Priority list
Music prep and then practice tonight
Mow before the rain???

Decide how to move my greenhouse somewhere else?
Put up ds poster and see if he still wants the desk in his room

Declutter some things in craft room
Today's tada list

Re: Spaghetti Saturday
Good morning, everyone!
It’s 9am here now for a time reference. For some reason I need less sleep than I used to so I am up until 1-2am and awake again between 7-9. Of course now that I don’t need to be up my body wakes me up. Where was this when I was scrambling to get kids ready for school and dragging lol.
We are supposed to meet ddS at a halfway mark, about an hour drive from here, sometime today so doing chores and need to get a shower. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Re: Spaghetti Saturday

Bama, the symbols topic is under Tips, Hints and How-tos
within the News section above.
It has been in more current use that it seems, since single additions were often made
within existing posts rather than creating new ones.

Re: Spaghetti Saturday
I guess I have been doing instead of posting. In a couple of sessions. I made a heaping wheelbarrow of weeds. Dandelion and grass and stubborn tree roots. Too close to my big poplar tree it seems. Now it's ready to till.
I think I'm going to try and use the greenhouse where it is . Just a cheap little 6 by 8 that somehow the bottom by the ground is a terrible design the way the cover is not attached to the base. Lets cold in the bottom. I actually put it in evening shade as sometimes those tiny ones get too hot. No chance. Then I'll put my new rhubarb root behind it in the corner of the garden.
Music is ready. Other than finding a second set of copies. Coffee was still sitting there so I warned it up. Break and then see if I can do more outside? It keeps misting a little but no real rain. The grass was still damp so he did the main part.
Priority list
Music prep and then practice tonight
Mow before the rain???
Finish weeding the garden
Decide how to move my greenhouse somewhere else?
Put up ds poster and see if he still wants the desk in his room
Declutter and straighten closet
Declutter some things in craft room
Today's tada list
Break for a bit
Actually finish kitchen all the way
Start laundry and put ds basket away
Shower
S&s both baths and reboot laundry
Tidy laundry room and master bedroom some
Dh mowed the main lawn
Weeding and hauled away
Empty and reload dw
Breakfast?
Music prep
