Cleaning day...

So much for sleeping late this morning. A friend of ours borrowed the jeep yesterday and returned the keys at 6:50 this morning. So we were up from then on. I could not stand the dust in the house, so it was a major cleaning day. Four hours later, we have a clean house. Beth did the weed whacking and grass cutting in the back yard. We had lunch and then went around back to start cleaning out the thistle problem. Not sure how they started, but they are taking over the back hill. So we are hoping to at least contain them and not have to kill everything and start over again. It will take several days to get them back under control, but better than starting over with the planting. After a couple hours and several rain showers, we called it a day and headed in for showers. We had dinner plans with DJ and Maggie at the Cheesecake factory. They have great food and love their carrot cake. Hopefully the rain will hold off long enough for a quick dip in the hot tub. Tomorrow will be an exciting day as we have Jojo. Today's picture is of our home away from home Disney. We are counting the days (219) till our return in January. It seems so far off.
