Making Progress...

We were up at 7am this morning. Dawn came by at 7:50am to change for her interview and was running late. We gave her a muffin top and sent her on her way. Good Luck Dawn. We then left and headed to the parent's house to resume cleaning. We made good progress today. We were able to get all the clothes boxed up, got all the bathrooms and the upstairs guest rooms cleaned out, got rid of all the spices and meds in the kitchen, and put the bed back together. We need to box up the food and donate it somewhere and then we will be at a stand still. So we left around 1pm to go have some lunch. It had been raining all day and was 40 degrees. I was chilled to the bone and could not get warm. I hate days like that. We came home and I took a little nap before taking Kyle to class. Beth did get her parents taxes done and shipped off. We had dinner and I am taking a hot hot shower and headed to bed.

Taxes are done...

We got up this morning around 8:30am. We had breakfast and showers and decided not to go clean today, but would go tomorrow. So I decided to work on my taxes. There was not much to file except I had to declare stock sold. So I logged on to Turbo Tax and started the process. It was not bad and only took about 30 minutes. But I had to pay $120 buck for them to tell my I did not owe anything or was not getting anything back. What a pain in the butt, but they are done and ready for the mail tomorrow. I made several calls and then called it a day. I still have to call and made a dentist appointment, but that will wait until tomorrow. Beth was still trying to avoid doing the last things to get her parents taxes ready to go and today being Wednesday did not help - POGO Wednesday. The shop called and said the caddy was ready and of course they could not find anything wrong with it. So we went to pick it up and I stopped by the store to get eggs and lottery tickets. I wanted to make some apple cinnamon muffins tops for breakfast tomorrow. So I came home and made then. I had little batter left over some I made some little bitty muffins for Rylee. I then left to take Kyle to class and then returned him home. I made steak for dinner and Beth is watching Ghost Hunters,so she is a happy camper. We have to get up early tomorrow as Dawn is coming by to change before her interview and we want to go to Beth's parent's house for more cleaning. we are making progress and want to stay on track.

Ice Cream...

We were up at 7am this morning. Dawn came over at 8 and I made waffles for breakfast. Dawn and Beth left a little before 9am to go talk to the broker about our escrow money. It looks like we will have to go down a different path to get our escrow money back. What a mess this is going to be. They were back home by 9:30am and we looked at Dawn's new mini van. After that Dawn and Beth left again to go look at the house down the road from us. Dawn and Jo are looking to move closer to Jo's work. Dawn dropped Beth off around noon and we had lunch. Since Beth had Cold Stone Creamery gift card and nearest one was KOP, we took a drive to go get ice cream and boy was it good. We were back home around 4pm and did nothing the rest of the day. We had left over stew for dinner. It looks like we will get snow and rain the next 3 days, Yea us...NOT.

Errands...

We got up around 8:30am this morning. We had breakfast and then took showers. I needed to go to KOP to the JC Penney's store and pick up an order I had. Then I stopped at Target and then got gas at BJ's wholesale club. I then picked up the dry cleaning and went to the grocery store. I was back home by 1:30pm. we had lunch and Beth left to go do some estate stuff. She was back home around 3:50pm and I left at 4pm to go take Kyle to class. After dropping Kyle at home, I met Beth up at the car dealership. we are having the caddy looked at tomorrow to see why it will not go over 20 mph. We then came home and had dinner.

Great Showing...

Beth went to 8am mass and I slept until 9am. We had breakfast and read the paper. I took a shower and began a major house cleaning venture. Beth left and went down to the last day of the car show. I took a quick break for lunch and then it was back to cleaning. Beth came home around 3pm and her nephew came over to test drive the jeep. He wanted to use it over night and will let us know tomorrow if he wants to buy it. Gayle brought the car home around 6pm. We did really well at the show for our first time. There were 300 cars in the show and they were divided in half as show cars and street cars. Our was considered a street car. We got a plaque for being in the top 75 cars. We were also invited to several other cars shows, so we will see what happens. I made stew and corn bread for dinner and got all the laundry done. It was a busy day, but I am glad it is over.

Car Show...

Rylee was up at 7am this morning. We played for a while and then had breakfast. Rylee had oatmeal and part of Aunt Beth's pop tart. We took showers and got Rylee dressed. We left around 10am and went to pick up Kyle and head to the car show. Rylee was fascinated with all the colors on the cars. There were alot of really nice looking cars. I love the old time trucks and would love to have one. We were there around 2 hours and had lunch. Rylee was ready to get out of her stroller and run around, but she could not. She did have her first hot dog and loved it. we left and came home. She was so ready for a nap. So Aunt Beth was going to put her down and I went to the office. About 20 minutes later there was alot of laughing coming from the guest room. Soon Beth came out and said Rylee pooped and that Beth was not able to get her to sleep. So I changed her and put her down. She was settled down and managed to take off her sock. She tried to put it on, but could not and got mad. She soon fell asleep and I was able to sneak out of the room. We found out that Kyle was on the computer again last night, so he was not able to go back to the car show. Rylee slept 2 1/2 hours and Dawn and Jo came to pick her up. She did not want to leave, but they never do. We went back to the car show to take pictures and look at the cars we missed.

Rylee overnight...

We got up at 8am this morning as Dawn was bringing over donuts. We visited with her until 9:30am. We took showers and headed up to Beth's parents house to resume cleaning. We were able to get the bedroom and bathroom done, before Charlie showed up. He took some stuff from the house that he wanted. We left around around 2pm and to take the Mercedes to the dealership. Jeff knows the owner and he is going to try and sell it on the lot. We stopped by to see Charlie's house that he brought, and then we picked up McDonald's and came home. Dawn and Jo brought Rylee over around 6pm. We are watching her overnight as they have a fund raiser they were going to. We so love watching her and she is so vocal right now. We ordered baked Ziti and pizza for dinner. She had her first pizza crust and loved it. After dinner, she read books and colored with Aunt Beth as you can see from today's pictures. We will take her and Kyle to the car show tomorrow. That should be fun.

Bye Bye Car

We got up around 8:30am this morning. We had breakfast and then took showers. Gayle came by around 1pm to get the car for the car show this weekend. Since It had rained the last 2 days, she got a flatbed tow truck to take it down to the show. That way they would not have to spend a lot of time cleaning it again. I left to take Kyle to class and then we went to dinner. I was craving a burger for some reason. After dinner, we went of to Gayle's house to get the passes for the car show this weekend. It should be fun.

Snow..no way

We woke up at 7:30am this morning. Dawn was coming by after her bus run for waffles. Kyle called at 8am to ask me to take him $11 to school. He needed it for a field trip he was to take. Knowing that Kyle will play DJ and me, I called DJ to see what was going on. She said he brought home the paperwork, but never said anything about needing the money today. She would make some calls and would let me know. So I made us waffles and they turned really good. I know how much batter to make for each size now. So DJ text me and told me that I could just leave the money in a envelope at the school for the teacher. So we headed up to school. Dawn said when she got to the bus yard this morning, her bus was covered with snow. And to think spring was right around the corner. Yea right. Right now it is only rain and cold weather. Beth had a appointment to get her knee looked at. After x-rays and an exam, he was able to determine she has sever arthritis and will need a knee replacement soon. So for now she got a cortisone shot and we will see if this helps. After taking Kyle home from class I stopped and picked up Chinese food for dinner.

A Day for Me...

Beth was up early this morning and I got up around 8am. Beth took and shower and I made breakfast. Beth had to leave at 8:45am to go meet Jeff and do estate stuff. I took a shower and left to go shopping at KOP. I had ordered some shorts from JC Penny and they were ready to pick up. I then did some shopping in the rest of the mall. I had lunch at Subway and went to Best Buy. They had a case for my ereader, but I forgot my coupon. I then headed to Oaks to go shopping at BJ's wholesale club. After shopping there, I went to the movies. I saw Red Ridding Hood. It was a good movie and I would like to see it again. I got home around 4:45pm with the traffic. We left and went to the pack and ship to mail some tax stuff. The caddy is still not running correctly, so we need to make an appointment for it to get looked at. So we came home and changed cars and the went to Best Buy. I got the ereader case and Beth got a corded mouse. She thinks the reason she is not getting good scores on POGO is due to her mouse. Tomorrow is POGO Wednesday so we will see how she does.

Car issues

We woke this morning to rain. We had appointments with Dr. Bill at 9am. Beth was in real need of an adjustment on all parts of her body. After our adjustments, we came home and had lunch. Dawn came by to give us some bad news. The bank will not release our escrow money on the house. They say we did not cancel the contract within 7 days of the agreement. So now we have to see what our options are. Beth had to leave to go meet Jeff to do some estate stuff. I called the car dealership to ask about my truck. They said without seeing the truck, they would say it is a dead battery. Strange since I have never had an issue with it until they touched it. So I had an errand to run, so I took the caddy. And I was about half way done and the car would not go over 20 miles an hour. What the hell now. So I was able to limp home and get it parked. So I decided to take the battery out of the truck and go get another one. I decided to check the battery cables and found the negative was a little loose. So it tightened it and gave it a try. It started. Dumb ass people. So I left to go pick up Kyle and take him to class. It started several times, so it is not a dead battery, just a dumb ass service guy. We had dinner and Beth talked to Frank about the car. He said it might have a little water in the tank since it sat for 3 months. So we went to Pep Boys to get some heet fuel additive. We came home and put it in the tank and I drove it around the block. Things are working fine, so we will drive it and see what happens. My god I am glad this day is over.

Water Water We Have Water...

The guys were here around 8:30am to start installing the well pump. I made waffles in the new waffle maker. I found the directions on the box are not correct for the machine we have so I have to double it. So we each got half a waffle, but it was good. I then went over to DJ and Maggie's house to get some more water. By the time I got home, the water was back on. The guys left around noon and we had lunch. I went out to start my truck and it would not start. Beth had to go get dog food and stop by the store. I jumped my truck and let it run for awhile and drove it around the block. After I shut it off and tried to start it again, it would not start. Strange since it was just in for it's check up. So we both came inside and worked on the computer. My mom gave me her ereader she got for Christmas. So today I was able to load my first ebook to the reader. It was easy once I figured it out. Beth went to 6pm mass since she missed it this morning. I made meat loaf for dinner and look forward to meatloaf sandwiches this week.

Where did the water go???

I got up around 8am this morning. I took a shower and started laundry. Beth got up around 10:30am and had breakfast. Beth went to take a shower and as she went to get in the shower the water stopped. So we had not water anywhere. We knew we were living on borrowed time with the well pump and it looks like our time is up. Beth called around to find someone to come out and fix it. She finally found someone who came out around 3pm. As we thought we need a new pump, wiring, pressure gauge, and who know what else. But the good news is they will be out first thing in the morning to install them. So no water for us until then. We loaded the laundry up and went to Beth's parents house. We were able to get the laundry done and we packed up most of her parents clothing. If we spend a day or so working on each room, it will not take long to get it all done. We stopped at Texas Longhorn and had dinner and are now back home. So it is off to bed and up early as the guy will be here to install the new pump at 8:30am.

Like a Heat Wave...

We were up around 8am this morning. We had breakfast and showers before Gayle got here to finish up the car. She had the boys with her to move the process along. Beth had to go do some estate stuff and I worked in the flower bed. It took me longer than I thought, cause I had to take more rest breaks. It is hell to get old and be out of shape. Beth came home around 2pm and brought her dad's car. We will be keeping it and getting rid of the jeep. The boys were looking for firewood, so they cut up the tree limbs that had falling during the winter. They finally left around 6pm and I started dinner. I fixed pierogies and salad. We then left and went up to Beth parents house. Beth needed to get the files for tax purposes and we cleaned out some of the clothing. We will try to get back up there next week since it is going to rain most of the week. It was a great day today. The sun was shining bright and the temperature was 80. Can't ask for much more in March.

Jojo day...

We slept until 8am this morning. It was going to be a nice day out. We had breakfast and took showers. I made the airline reservation for our trip in September and then had to print everything off. Kim dropped off Jojo around 10:30am and Gayle arrived at the same time to work on the car. I made pizza for lunch. Beth and Jojo watched a movie, Gayle went to work on waxing the car, and I headed to the store. It was a great day out, sunny and around 62 degrees. I put away the groceries and we all went outside. I started working on the flower beds. They needed the old dead stuff removed and the weeds were beginning to pop up. I got the one by the mail box done and the one by the flag pole about half done. I had to leave and go pick up Kyle for class. Kim was here to pick up Jojo and Gayle was still working on the car. Beth had a hair appointment so she left around 4:30pm. We were back home around 6pm. Gayle was finishing up for today, but would be back tomorrow. I fixed dinner of chicken with a Hawaiian marinade on it, with colored pasta, and peas. So now it is time for bed and another Friday will be here tomorrow. Where does the week go ?

Now Beth is in Heaven

Frank was up around 5:30am and packing his stuff. Beth got up around 6am to wish him a safe trip. I got up around 8:30am. We had breakfast and then took showers. we had a meeting for our AAA travel rep at 1pm. We were able to schedule our Panama Canal cruise for September. I now have to make the flight arrangements and we will then look at excursion's. We were home a couple of hours then I had to go pick Kyle for class. After his class, he wanted to go to the mall and look at caps. he did not find anything, so I took him home. I fixed steak for dinner and Beth was in heaven. It was Wednesday and it was also POGO and ghost hunter's day, so her day is complete. We have Jojo tomorrow, so it should be a fun day.

I'm in Heaven...

We were up around 8am this morning. I made breakfast for us and then took a shower. Beth and Frank headed outside to trim the holly tree. I headed to Reading to do some shopping. I first stopped off at the cleaners to drop off a load of dry cleaning. Then it was to Vanity Fair to shop. I want looking for some dress pants and they had shorts on sale. So I picked up 4 pair and found some dress pants. I then headed to BJ's whole sale club for a few items. Saving the best for last I headed to Chipolte for lunch. I did not know one was so close to us. I was in heaven eating the steak burrito. I then headed home and found Beth and Frank had gone to lunch. They came home around 3pm and the dealership called to let me know my truck was ready. So Beth took me to pick it up. I was surprised the bill was only $266 dollars for all that I had done. They said the 30,000 mile check up was $319 alone. Just guess that girl did not know what she was talking about. So I came back home and we went to dinner with Frank and Rose at the Brickhouse. It was 1/2 price burger night. Frank is leaving to go home in the morning and it is suppose to rain all day. We wish him a safe journey home.

Two ships passing at night...

Beth was up at 7am this morning and Frank left around 8:15am. We had breakfast and Beth left around 10am for the funeral. I took a shower and had a hair appointment at 12:15pm. Beth was home about 10 minutes and then I had to leave. I was back home around 2pm and Beth and Frank left 5 minutes later to go up to her parent's house. I felt like we were 2 ships in the night passing all day today. I had to leave at 4pm to go take Kyle to class and was back home around 6pm. Beth called and said she would be home in an hour. So I fixed dinner and had it ready to eat a 7pm. We left at 7:30pm to take and drop off my truck, so it could get serviced tomorrow. When I called today to make the appointment the girl said that the 30,000 mile service was a major service and that it would be $300 and did I still want to do it. Well it needs it so I have to have it done no matter the cost. So we were back home by 8pm and finally got to see each for more than 5 minutes. I am going shopping tomorrow and Beth and Frank will be pruning trees. I think I picked a good day to go shopping.

Where did the day go????

Beth was up at 7:20am and went to church. Frank and I got up around 8:15 and got ready to go to breakfast. Beth stopped by after church to pick us up and we went to the cafe. After breakfast, we went to Petsmart and Frank got Lucky a new collar. We then stopped and got a paper and came home. We really did not do alot until 1:30pm and then we went to lunch. We came home and Frank left to go see Rose. Beth and I left around 7pm to go to Rose's father visitation. Now the day is over and I am not really sure where it went, but tomorow is Monday and another day.

Day of Cleaning...

We got up around 8am this morning. I fixed breakfast and we started cleaning the house. It was a good start on spring cleaning and a great time to raise all the shades in the living room. Gayle came over around 11:30am to work on the car again. I went and picked up Kyle, so he could help her and he enjoys doing that kind of stuff. I went to the outlet mall to get a couple pairs of shoes. I had a coupon and it expired today. I will do the rest on my shopping next week when the crowds are smaller. I came home and Beth was working on the floors. I had finished the laundry and wanted to pull the dryer out to clean the lint out. I had noticed the dryer taking longer to dry and sure enough there was a large amount of lint in the trap. So it is on our list to clean every 6 months. We finished cleaning everything around 5pm. Gayle finished the car for the day and I took Kyle home. We had dinner reservations at 6pm with Frank. He is up for his father in laws funeral this week-end. Beth is going to work on her taxes tomorrow, so it will be a good time for me to work outside. I need to get the flower beds ready and cleaned out of the old plants. So tomorrow will be a good day for being outside.

A day with Payton...

We were up at 7:30am this morning. Maggie brought Payton by around 8:30am. Payton woke up this morning with a bad cough and Maggie was going to call the doctor to see if they needed to see him. We all had breakfast and then went downstairs to play. Gayle and BJ came by around 11:30am as they were cleaning up the '35 to take to a car show in a couple of weeks. Maggie called to ask us if we could take Payton the the doctor at 12:30pm and we said sure. The doctor looked over Payton and he has a respiratory virus and I guess a lot of kids have it right now. He said to give him cough medicine and a vaporizer for night time. So we left there and went to McDonald's for lunch. We then came home and Payton wanted Aunt Beth to take a nap with him. She loves that time she has with the kids. I left and had a couple of errands to do. Gayle and BJ were still cleaning the car. I was back home by 3pm and Beth was up, but Payton was sleeping. Payton woke up around 3:30pm and was crying cause Aunt Beth was not next to him. We watched a little TV and then had some fruit snacks. DJ came by to pick him up around 4:45pm. He told her he did not want to leave, not surprising all the kids say that. But today was Friday and he had dry pants all week, so he got a prize and he was ready to go. We had a great time with him and loved spending the day together. We left and went to the mall. Beth needed a watch battery and I wanted to go to Boarders Book store. It is going out of business and I wanted to see what they had. We found a two books and then had some dinner. We are now on meatless Fridays. So Beth had a tuna sandwich, which for some reason seafood is OK to have. I had Chinese sesame chicken, but there was not much chicken in there. Frank will be up tomorrow afternoon some time, so I need to clean house in the morning.

Rainy Rainy Thursday...

Beth was up at 7am this morning as she had a doctor's appointment at 9:30am. Dawn stopped by around 8:20am to get the Wi-Fi we have, so they can use in next week while on vacation. After they both left, I took a shower and had breakfast. I left around 11ish to go do some shopping. It was raining cats and dogs all day long. All the river's are flowing out of their banks. I was able to get a waffle maker today and hope to make them tomorrow. Beth had to go to the lawyer's office today and get her dad's will filed. She was gone most of the day. I left around 4pm to go pick up Kyle for his class. DJ meet me there as we had his 12 week review. He is doing well, but still has a ways to go. We are suppose to see a very hard rain tonight and are hoping we don't get any flooding. Payton will be spending the day with us tomorrow. We are so looking forward to it.

Rylee Time..

We were at at 7am this morning as Jo was dropping Rylee off on her way to work. I took a shower while Beth played with Rylee a while. We then had breakfast. I had Capt. Crunch cereal, Beth had Special K, and Rylee had yogurt, 1/2 a bananas, 1/4 a cereal bar, and 10 pieces of my Capt. Crunch. She loved the cereal and wanted more. After breakfast, Rylee and I went downstairs, and Beth took a shower. We all played downstairs and Rylee loved the doodle board. Around 11, we went to the mall as it was too cold to play outside. Rylee was so tired, but was awake when we went in to ride the cars in the mall. She was not sure about the first one when it started moving, but loved them afterwards. We rode 4 more than came home. She tried to fall asleep, but I kept talking to her until we got home. Beth put her down for a nap and I got lunch ready. It is the start of Lent and Beth could not have meat today or on Fridays until Easter. So we had grilled cheese and tomato soup. Dawn came by to see Rylee, but she was already sleep, so she had lunch with us. Dawn left around 1:15pm to go back to work and Rylee got up around 2pm. We fed her lunch and Jo came by around 3:30pm to pick up Rylee to take her to the doctor's for her 15 month check up. I left to go take Kyle to class and was back home by 6pm. I fixed spaghetti for dinner.

Poop patrol

I got up around 8am this morning and took a shower and Beth slept until 10am. We had a quick breakfast and were off shopping. We had to stop by Petco and get Buster some treats. Then we went to Target for grocery items. I found that the Uncle Ben's rice in the pouch is 40 cents cheaper than at the grocery store. We then went to Bed Bath and Beyond. we are looking at a waffle maker. They had a couple but I wanted to check them out on the Internet first. Lastly it was off to the grocery store. We were back home around 1:45pm and starving for lunch. I made lunch and Beth brought in all the bags from the car. After lunch, Beth went to give blood for her doctor's appointment on Thursday. There were way too many people there, so she left and went to CVS to pick up her prescriptions. Beth was able to pick up all the dog poop in the back yard from the winter. She deposited 6 bags in the trash. I am so glad that is not my job. I fixed steak for dinner with salad. After dinner I finished my research and are going to get the double Belgium waffle maker. I just have to find the Bed Bath and Beyond coupon. We have Rylee tomorrow as she will be leaving on vacation with her parents on Thursday for a week. She has a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so Jo will be picking her up at 3pm. We are hoping to play outside and do a little work in the flower beds, but we will see how much work gets done.

Seed Planting...

We were up at 7am this morning. We had appointments to see Dr. Bill for much needed adjustments and then returned home. I started laundry as it was piled high this week. We decided that it was time to start the seed planting. I planted tomato seeds and Beth planted flower seeds. It will be a process to see if they grow up big and strong. I left to go pick up Kyle as he was off from school today. We stopped by the Italian place and picked up a pizza. Dawn came over for a visit and we all had lunch together. Dawn left for her bus run and Kyle watched a DVD. I finished laundry and Beth made a few calls. It was time to take Kyle to class and after I dropped him back home, I stopped by Lowe's to get a seed mat to help the seeds stay warm. I whipped up some dinner using chicken, peppers, and onions. It was pretty good and ready in 30 minutes. So it is now bedtime and we are both ready for it.

Finally Home...

We spent all day yesterday traveling home. The flight was very bumpy all the way home. We finally got home around 11pm and were so ready for bed. We slept until 9:50am this morning. We took showers and then went to lunch. After lunch, we picked up Buster and came home. I unpacked the suitcases and got the laundry ready for tomorrow. Beth was able to work on her desk and got caught up on POGO. She went over to see Jojo around 7pm for a short visit and then stopped and got herself a happy meal. I had beans and franks for dinner. We have much needed appointments with Dr. Bill in the morning. We both have several phones calls to make after that and I will start laundry. Kyle is out of school tomorrow, so I will go and pick him up around noon for a visit then off to his class. It was rainy here all day today, but the rest of the week looks dry. We have a lot of things to do outside to get ready for spring. We want to see Rylee before she leaves on Thursday for vacation and Payton wants to come over on Friday. So it looks like a busy week, but will be nice to spend time with the kids.

Final Day In Disneyland...

We slept late and then had breakfast at the Storyteller's cafe. We then came back to the room and did a little backing. We spent the rest of the time just relaxing. We finally headed over to Disneyland around 5pm. We took the monorail and were able to sit up from with the driver. We were able to do that in Disneyworld, but you can no longer do that since the accident there. It dropped us off in Tomorrowland and we rode a few rides, then headed over to main street. We were going to see Fantasmic, but there were no places to sit and I was not going to stand for 2 hours. So we grabbed a table on main street where we could see the fireworks and got something to eat. The fireworks were great and worth seeing. So we are now back in the room and about 90% packed. We will be up at 6am to finish getting ready and head to the airport. It will be good to get home.

No hurry day...

Today we took our time getting up and getting ready. We were going back to California Adventure to finish up that park. We first hit the Toy Story ride before the lines got too long. I love that ride and do it more if it was not such a long wait line. We then went to the Ferris wheel. I promised Beth I would do it, but had to have a non swinging car. So we got on the car. I was so not ready for this ride and was ready to get off. But we still had another loop to go. We finally got off the ride, thank god. We then played a few more boardwalk games and Beth won a big goofy stuffed animal. Beth then wanted to ride the roller coaster and I said go ahead I will just wait for you here. After that, we went and got a hot dog for lunch. Since we were so close to the monster inc ride, we rode it several times as the line was short. We then did a little shopping and came back to the room. It was just nice to sit and relax for a few hours. We headed to Disneyland for dinner and to watch the parade. But come to find out there is no parade tonight. Most of the parades and attraction take place on the week-end which we were not aware of. So we took the monorail to downtown Disney and had dinner at the House of Blues. Beth was craving a steak. We then had some ice cream for dessert and headed back to the room. We packed a little bit and then went down to the hot tub. It was packed with alot of people, but soon cleared out a little bit. We are now back in the room and ready for bed. Tomorrow is our last full day here and we are ready to go home, which is a first.

Relaxing at Disney...

We slept until 8:30am this morning. Dawn text us to give her a call. We knew it had to do with the house, so we gave her a call. The bank feels our original offer is fair for the house in as is condition and will not give us a credit for the septic. So we are walking away and will look at other places. We are just not sure why it took them so long to tell us that. So no big deal, we just move on. We had to go down to the business center and print off some papers and fax them back to Dawn. It cost us $6 to get on the Internet, $2 to print the pages, and $8 to fax them, but we are getting $8500 back so all is good. We then headed over to Disneyland. There were not as many people there today and we were able to ride a lot of things back to back or with a very little wait. We had corn dogs for lunch since we are going to Goofy's Kitchen tonight for dinner and want to pig out there. It looked like it might rain all day but never did. It was a little cool, but we still wore shorts. Our vacation is half over, but we are enjoying the relaxing and stress free days. We are going to the hot tub after dinner to relax even more. Today's picture is of Jeanette with Mr Toad from Mr Toad's Wild Ride.

A full day at the park...

We did better this morning and slept until 8am. We had cereal and took showers. We headed to the California Adventures Park. We got a locker and put our clothes in it for later this evening. It was a nice day and we worn t-shirts and shorts, but knew it cools off fast and would need jeans and sweatshirts after the sun went down. We were able to make our way around the park and had a nice lunch for dinner. We had ordered a box dinner which allowed us to get first seating at the World of Color in the evening. After lunch, we made our way through the rest of the park. We got in line for the World of Color around 6:30pm. They were not letting people in until 7pm, but we wanted to get a good spot, so we stood in line. At 7pm, the crowds starting filing in. We found a spot on the bridge to see the show. The show is a water, laser, and fire with several clips of Disney movies projected in the background. So we stood for another hour and 15 minutes, before the show started at 8:15pm. And it was worth it. The show was great and Beth was able to get it on video. We made the long walk back to the hotel and it was great to sit for a while. We are ready for bed and hear it might be raining tomorrow. We will see what the weather is like and then plan our day. Today's picture is of Mickey's Fun Wheel and its reflection in the water, taken while we waited.
