Caddy home...

I went to the gym this for as I had not been in a week. I came home and took a shower and we left to go to reading for some lunch and shopping and then on to pick up the caddy. Let's hope nothing else is wrong with it. We had dinner and now it is time to watch MNF.

Long Day...

We were up at 5am and out the door by 6:45am. we got to the flee market area at 7:05am and OMG. There were already a ton of cars their and we had to set up way in the back. Good thing it did not takes us long and we were ready in about 10 minutes. A lot of people said there were 10 times the number of people selling today, so we picked a good time. I walked around to see what other people had, but did not buy anything. Beth was gone 10 minutes and came back carrying 2 things. I must admit the electric cooler will be nice for trips as you don't need ice. We packed up and left around noon and the ling to get out was kinda long, but we made it home in time for the kickoff. we figured we made about a hundred bucks and got rid of some stuff, but we don't have to go back and sell anything else again. Most of the leftover stuff will go to the purple heart people. So we watched football the rest of the day and watched the Eagles get spanked by Denver, but everyone that has played Denver has lost big. The funny things is, that no one in our division is winning either and we are in second place still.

Pie making...

WE were up around 8am this morning. Beth took a shower as Gayle came to pick her up around 9am. They were going the Celtic festival and I got to stay home and watch football. I took a shower and decided to make hand pies with the new pie makers I got on the yard sale site. I made 6 apple and 6 cherry. It was kinda fun and not real hard. I then watch college football the rest of the day. Beth got home around 4:30pm, I had put a ham in the oven for dinner and she went to 5:30pm mass. We had dinner when she got home and then loaded the truck for the flee market tomorrow. We have to be there and set up by 7am. I want to be on the road home by noon, so we can watch the game.

General clean up...

After breakfast, I took a shower and headed outside to work with Beth. We moved all the leftover pavers to a pallet and cleaned up behind the shed. I then had to deadhead the hydrangeas and sprayed some weeds. Beth then replaced the 2 pieces of fence in the back that we all bent up from being hit with the lawnmower. I had to go get gas and then stopped by the police station on the way home. There was a pretty new bike tucked in the woods and had been there a couple days. A cop came out and took the bike, but said no one had reported any missing. So who know where it came from. We then had lunch and DJ came by for a quick visit. I then left and went to Wal-Mart for a few things and came home. Kim and Lynne dropped of Jojo around 3:30pm. I fixed bar-b-que chicken and noodles for dinner and Beth took Jojo back to their house around 7pm. She should be home around 11pm as they went to an early concert in Philly.

Clean house...

After breakfast, we started cleaning the house. The bug got here around noon, just as we were having lunch. I took Buster and went downstairs to watch a movie. Buster had a grooming appointment at 6pm and was back home by 8pm smelling quite nice. Should be a good game tonight and love having Thursday night football every week.

Drop off the caddy again...

No gym again this morning. I think it might just be all week and start again on Monday. We watched a seminar on the computer about the new health care and what it means for us. we then took the caddy back in for service and came home. we then had to go to AC Moore, Bed Bath & Beyond, and then Michael's. I fixed steak for dinner and it was yummy. Now it is catch up on TV shows.

No motivation...

We both got up very late this morning from watching the game last night. We had some breakfast and Beth went outside to work. I worked n the lamp post light to see if I could get the dusk to dawn part to work. I just checked and it is working, YEA. I then came inside and cleaned the kitchen. After that, I had no motivation to do anything. I fix goulash for dinner and it was really good. It was a recipe Beth's mom had. All the new shows are starting this week and the return of our old favorites.

Busy Monday...

we were up at Dr. Bill's office by 9am. After that we came home and left around 10:45am to go see the insurance lady about our home insurance. we talked about several option and a lot of other things and found something that will work for us. But a change will be coming in our insurance next year and they will make you raise you deductible or you will have to pay to have a $1000 deductible. Good grief. We then came home and had lunch. I cleaned out the hall pantry and the jelly cabinet. I then went downstairs to watch a movie. I fixed pork chops for dinner and then it was back to Dr. Bill's office for a power stretching class. Now it is time for MNF.

Football all day...

After church, we had breakfast and read the paper on the porch. WE had a From the Freezer lunch, meaning what every you can find you can have. We then watched football the rest of the day. Dawn and Rylee stopped by around 6:30pm and left about a half hour later. So another football Sunday it was.

Trunk sale bust...

We got up at 5:30 am and took showers. We finished loading the truck and headed out. We stopped at Dunkin for breakfast and then headed to DJ and Maggie's house. We followed them to the school and set up by 8 am. Thee were only 10 cars there. We only sold one thing for a buck and that was it. We left around noon and came home. We had to go to Costco to pick up a few things then came home. I took a nap and Beth worked in the garage and can finally get her car in it. Beth made dinner tonight, so I could watch football. She made chicken, backed potatoes, and corn on the cob. YUM YUM YUM.

Trunk sale..

We got up really late this morning as we watched all of the football game last night. We had breakfast and took showers. We then headed to go pick up the caddy. We stopped at a little road side stand and got corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, and some apple cider. We came home and had some lunch and then went back to the garage. we are getting stuff together for the truck sale at Payton's school tomorrow. Liz cam by for a visit and I had to go to the bank for change. We loaded up what we could tonight and will do the rest in the morning. we have to be there by 7am and I am sure a Dunkin trip will be in store before hand.

Not a great game for eagles fans....

We were up a little late this morning and just went downstairs and walked on the treadmill. We then went outside to work. Beth worked in the garage and I worked in the flower bed. I dug up all the carpet lilies and then replanted them in a straight line about 8 inches from the edge of the bed. I soon found I had way too many bulbs. So I sued what I could and then gave the rest to Dawn. Payton's school is having a yard sale on Saturday and we are going to take some stuff down and see if it will sell, so we will spend tomorrow getting things ready. Dawn and Rylee came over around 5;45pm for dinner. we ordered from Ice House and after waiting 1hour and 20 minutes, Beth finally called. They said they could have it ready in 30 minutes and at that point everyone was starving. so we just threw some chicken nuggets and fries in the microwave and ate that. Not at all what we wanted but it was fast. We are now watching the Eagles / Chiefs and it is not looking good for the Eagles so far. I am very torn on who to root for, but know I just stay quite as it is better.

Cold...

We got up and decided not to go to the gym. It was really cold here and you needed a jacket. We had to meet someone in the sear's parking lot at 9:30am and then too the caddy in for service. We stopped and had lunch and then got home around 1pm. They called and said my truck was ready , so we went to pick that up. I cleaned the big grill and we put it on the deck and will the small one down to the back deck. We had dinner and they went over to see DJ, Maggie, and the boys. It is suppose to rain over the week-end, so I am hoping to move bulbs in the flower garden before then. As fall is on it way and the days and nights are getting colder.

Big sale...

I got up a little late this morning as we watched all the game last night. I had posted some scrapbook stuff on the yard sale site and had a few people interested. I sent some replies and then we headed to the gym. We came home and I called to get an appointment for tomorrow to get the oil changed. I had breakfast and took a shower. Beth was hungry for lunch as she has breakfast at 6:30am in the morning. So I fixed her a Italian panni and it sure looked good, but I was not hungry yet. We left around 12:30pm to go meet someone that Beth had bought something off the yard sale site. We then stopped at Rita's for ice cream cone. We came home and I went to the store. we then had to go meet another person to pick up another item Beth got. we both drove and then dropped off my truck at the dealership. We came home and I had to water the plants out back. I was very chilly today and fall is on it's way. I refuse to put on long pants and will hold out as long as possible.

Movie day

WE were up and at the gym by 9am this morning. We came home , had breakfast, and took showers. I came downstairs to watch some of the new movies I had. Beth worked on her desk and made several calls before the cable guy same at 12:30pm. He was able to change something with the cable splitter and so far things have worked great. I was able to watch 3 of the 6 movies and will watch the rest later. As I was cooking dinner, Rylee called and wanted to know it I could come up for a visit. So after dinner, we went up for about an hour. we came home and watched the MNF game. We turned off the air as it has been cool during the day. Kinda nice.

No defense...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. I took a shower and fed the dogs. Beth was home around 9:15am and DJ came by around 9:30am to get gabby. The Eagles had a 1pm game and we found that our defense is not good and can't stop anything, so we lost. The Eagles play the Chiefs on Thursday night, so I if root for the Eagles I have to fins some other place to do it. Decisions Decisions....

Football saturday...

We left around 10am to go check out a yard sale and only found one thing we wanted. We stopped at Costco and then came home. We had hoagies for lunch and then football was on. Beth went outside to work on the weeds behind the fence. It was a little cool today and only got to the high 60's. I think we will turn off the air next week and it will be nice.

Reverse roles...

We both got up late this morning and did not go to the gym. I went out and unloaded the mulch we got yesterday. I then came in the house and started laundry. Beth did all the running around and I stayed home, which is a switch for us. I also cleaned the kitchen and all the bathrooms. Sometimes it is easier to clean when she is gone. She came home and we had lunch and then she went out to cut the grass. DJ dropped off gabby around 3pm. We are watching here while they are gone racing this weekend. We took shower and I must say, we did not run out of hot water wit the new tank. It is only 35 gallons, but heats faster and uses less electric. We went up to Dawn and Jo's house around 6pm to watch Rylee as they had a dance meeting to go to. Tomorrow is my first Saturday to watch college football all day and I am looking forward to it.

Feeling HOT HOT HOT....

We got up and were at the gym by 8:30am. We came home and started working outside and it was very very humid. Rain was expected all day but did not hit until 7pm. I go the other flower moved and got the mums planted. Beth cleaned the pool filters. we had some lunch and took showers. We headed to colonial gardens to pay the landscaping bill and picked up some bulbs and much. Dawn dropped Rylee off around 5:45pm and she headed to her meeting. We had chicken tacos and the Beth left to go pick up Jojo from hockey as Kim and Lynne had a meeting at school. So now it is football time and the game is very boring. Neither team cam do anything, so will go to bed pretty soon. Not much rain but the temperatures will drop to the low 70's the next 7 days and low 50's at night. Fall is on the way.

New hot water heater..

I got up around 6:45am and headed to Dawn and Jo's house. I watched Rylee as she was not able to go to school today. Beth waited at home for the guys to install the new hat water heater. Dawn came home around 12:45am and I headed home. Beth said the guys would be here until 4pm, which after I knew what they were doing it sounded right. We have a smaller tank, but it heats up faster. So we will see. It was hotter than heck here today, but rain is on it's way to cool things off.

Plant moving...

We got up and went to the gym a little late this morning. we stopped by Lowe's after the gym to get some dirt and picked up a few mums. We came home and I began moving the bleeding heart. the spot it was in was too small , so I divided it and planted it by the steps. So we will see if it comes back up next year. I then had to take a shower and went to get my hair cut and colored. I then picked up Beth and we went back to Lowe's as we needed a couple more mums. Dawn called and we went up to watch Rylee as she had to go get her medicine for strep throat. She said she had a sore throat but never ran a fever. We were back home in about 30 minutes and had dinner. I then had to water the plants out front and back as the temperature were in the 90's today and will be again tomorrow.

Eagles win...

We were up and out the door to see Dr. Bill by 8:30am. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot and it took us almost 45 minutes of waiting. We then went to the gym and came home. We worked on getting the stones by the pool leveled out and filled in by the sidewalk. I worked on the square part and Beth cleaned out the coffin with all the pool toys. We posted the tiki bar on the yard sale site and it was gone with in 5 minutes and we made some money on it. We finally came in for lunch around 2pm and took showers. We headed to Dawn's house and had dinner up there. we watched the Eagles win and it was a great game.

Football sunday...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. I got up and took a shower and when she got home, we read the paper. I made the mac and cheese and everyone got here around 1pm. It was a good day of watching the red zone and all three of our teams survived in the football pool. We have Dr. Bill in the morning, so not sure we will watch all of the late game.

PA Rene Fest...







We were up around 8 am this morning. We took showers and Dawn and Rylee picked us up around 9:30am. We stopped at Dunk'in and got some breakfast then here to the festival. It was a great day and we had lots of us as you can see from the pictures. We left around 5:30pm and Rylee was asleep with in 5 minutes. After we got home, I had to make deviled eggs and Beth cut up the roast beef for tomorrow. That way we don't have a lot to do in the morning.

Good and Bad...





We did not make it to bed until 2am this morning and Beth was back up at 7am and I got up about 20 minutes later. Beth had to scoop the poop before the landscape guys here and I took a shower. The guys got here around 8am and started to work. The finished up around noon and we love the backyard. The pictures do not to it justice, so you will just have to come and see it. we still need to get some day lilies and other things in there, but the major stuff is in. Beth went downstairs to unlock the door as the furnace guy was coming at noon to clean the furnace. And of course she found water on the floor. It appears we have a leak in the hot water tank. Just great. It was just the start, but we will be getting a new one on Wednesday. So Beth spent the rest of the day cutting grass. I had to CVS as the doctor had to up my synthroid as the last change was too low. So it is off to bed as we are both tired and have the pan ren fest tomorrow.

Football season is on...

We were up and at the gym by 8:30 am. We came home and I started laundry. I then put landscaping fabric down on the 2 bare spots in front of the deck. We were not be doing anything with that area this year, so I did not want a lot of weeds to take over. The guy came to talk to us about installing an whole house generator. He will be giving us several quotes on different options and we will see what happens then. We left and went to the parks and rec office for out ticket to the PA renaissance festival on  Saturday, then on to the bank, AAA, and finally Costco. Dawn and Rylee came by around 5:45pm for dinner of chicken, stuffing, and green beans. Football kicked off tonight with a really good game.

Did nothing...

We were up, at the gym, and back home by 9:45am. we had breakfast and I can't say I really did anything else all day. Beth vacuumed  and mopped all the floors, so she was productive. We had steak and ate on the porch as it was a nice evening.

Cook books...

We got up and were out the door around 8:15am. I had to give blood and then we headed to the gym.  we were back home around 10am and I began working on the cookbooks in the kitchen. I had way too many and I did not use a lot of them. So off I went. Beth worked on her desk and paid bills. I had to go to Staples to get some envelop folders. I find I have a lot of recipes I pull out of magazines or off the internet that needed to be organized. I finally finished up around 4pm and had over 4o cooks to get rid of. That leaves plenty of room for new ones. We had eggs, potatoes, and ham for dinner. I then used the rest of the peaches in the same way as last week, except I put them in a pan as they were really ripe. They were just as good.

Pool and friends...

We got up and went to the gym this morning. we came home and got ready for the cook out. Everyone was here around 1pm. We had burgers and hotdogs on the grill and Beth made potato salad.
It started to rain but did not last long. The water was 84 degrees and great for swimming. Rylee finally went down the slide by herself and even off the end.  It was a great time and the last pool party for the year.

On the run...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. She stopped and got a paper on the way home and we had breakfast and read the paper. We then left and headed to Exton. I was meeting someone to get some pie mold I purchase off the Pottstown yard sale site. we then went to BJ's wholesale club and had lunch at Chipotle's. We then stopped at Michael's, AC Moore, and the auto store. We made it home around 4pm. I watched some football before taking a little nap.  We had leftover from the fridge as tomorrow is trash day and everything must go. we then went to the grocery store as we are having a cook out tomorrow and needed some things.
