Movie day...

Beth was up before me as usual. We had breakfast and took showers. DJ's brought the new puppy over to see how Buster did with her and there were no problems. We plan to get them together a few more times before we leave for Disney. That way they will be used to each other before staying together. We had lunch and then we went to the movies. I saw the Maze Runner and Beth saw This is where I leave you. After the movies, we went to BJ's wholesale club and then home. Beth worked in the office and I watched a few more of my shows. The leaves are really starting to turn and the temperatures are dropping little by little each week. Fall is in the air for sure.

Eagles suck...

We were up around 8:30am. we had some breakfast and took showers. we watched the Redzone for the early games. Dawn and Rylee came down at the beginning of the Eagles. They did not look good all day and with no offensive line to protect the quarterback or open holes for the runner, we have no chance. We had a chance at the end, but we blew it. I fixed a roast in the pressure cooker and found I do not like them cooked that way. I prefer the slow cooker and think they are tender that way.

Driveway sealed..

We were up around 8:30am this morning. I jumped on the computer and made our fast pass for Disney. We then went out to start sealing the driveway. It was hot and I thought we would never finish. I had to go get 2 more buckets, while Beth did the edges. we used 7 1/2 5-gallon buckets. we finished up around 2pm. I took a shower and went to go pick up Rylee. We stopped and got hoagies for lunch and Rylee watched a movie. Jo and Dawn came by a little after 8pm to pick up Rylee. We are both very tired and will be sore tomorrow, but the driveway looks nice. We can walk on it but have to wait until Monday to drive on it.

We went to go see The Box Trolls. It was a good movie and we were the only ones in the theater. We went to Lowe's to get 6 buckets of the sealer for the driveway and a couple squeegees. We then came home and I power washed the driveway and Beth finished the edging. We will start the process around 10am and hope to finish in 3 hours. Then it has to dry for 48 hours.

Driveway prep

Beth was up early as the furnace guy was here at 7:20am. He told us that we had to start thinking about a new oil tank as our is 50= years old. Great news to here first thing in the morning. After her left, Beth did laundry and I cleaned the house. It was getting to get on both of our nerves with the mess. Beth worked on the driveway getting it ready to seal this week-end and I picked up Rylee and took her to swim lessons. Beth had dinner ready for us when we got back. They transferred Jo's dad to the city and Jo and her mom were there. After dinner, I gave Rylee a bath and Dawn and Beth went to get Joan's car from the hospital and took it home for her.

New recipe for dinner...

We were up around 8:30am. we had breakfast and I took a shower. We went outside and picked up all the umbrella and cushions from the pool area. We then put all the gnomes and other things that were in the flower bed away. We pulled all the flowers out of the pots and put them away. We still have a few more things to put away, but have a good jump on the fall put away. We came inside and had lunch. I watched a movie and Beth cut the front yard. I made a new recipe for dinner. You cut up a couple chicken breast and flour them, then deep fry. In a skillet you add 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Boil a bit and then add the chicken. Serve over rice. It was really good and will have again.

I then took a shower and we had breakfast and read the paper when Beth got home. we went to look at an air hockey table, but it was not worth what they wanted, so we came home.

Little football...

We were up around 8:30am this morning. We had breakfast and I took a shower. Beth went to work in the garage and I went downstairs. Beth set up my bike on the stand, so I could ride it inside and work on building leg strength. Dawn and Rylee came by around 3pm. Rylee went swimming for about 15 minutes, but the pool was just to cold for her. She got dressed and we all went to Michael's. We then came home and Beth took a shower.  We all meet Jo and her mom for dinner. Things are still not looking good for her dad. So I am now watching football downstairs and it will be a late night.

Free lunch...

I got up first this morning. but Beth was not far behind. we had breakfast and took showers. We headed to BJ's whole club to pick up a few things. We noticed that the new Buffalo Wild Wing looked to be open. We decided to stop and have lunch there. We got to the door and found it was by invitation of family and friends. After talking with the door guy for awhile, he went ahead and let us in. They were serving no alcohol and had a limited menu. Beth got the wild wings and I had the chicken sliders. All the food was very good and the service was great. We had dessert also. When we got the bill, we found our meal was free and the dessert was a $6 donation to the Boys and Girls club. What a deal. We came home and Beth went out to work on the cleaning up all the pool toys and rolling up the cover. We watched Jojo for a little while this evening as Kim had school conference. Now it is TNF and will be another late night.

We left around 5pm to go meet a lady about doing our wedding ceremony. She was really helpful in giving us some ideas and things to think about. We meet with her for about an hour and put a deposit down. So one more thing to cross off the list. Now watching the Eagle play a very poopy game. They will be lucky to get a win here.

Dentist...

I got up around 8am this morning. I left around 9:30am for my dentist appointment. They were already running behind and I did not get out until 11:30am. Everything was fine and issues. I stopped at CVS for a prescription and came home. Beth took Kyle to school around 10:30am and he made it the rest of the day. He is going to try for all day tomorrow, but I am on call just in case he needs to come home early. Beth got all the yard work done as it is suppose to rain tomorrow. I did some inside work and made cucumber salad for tomorrow night's dinner. We have had the air kicked up the last 2 days and the windows open. It has been really nice.

New phone...

It was well after 3am before I got to sleep last night. The phone rang at 6am and it Liz wanting to talk to Beth. I guess they had postpone Charlie's surgery again and Liz needed to talk to Beth. I went back to sleep and Beth got up. She started the laundry and slept until 9am. I finished laundry and went outside after lunch to pull weeds. They were getting bad and needed attention. I was about 3/4 done when I threw my shoulder out. It went back in pretty quick, but hurt like hell. I was done with the weeds for the day. I came inside and put ice on it for about an hour. We left around 3pm to go to Costco, get a new phone, and to the post office. I made a wrong turn and we ended up going to Costco first. We walked done the first row and saw they had a Verizon station. After looking at the phones, we found we could save $120 by getting the phone there. Who knew. It was the same phone at Verizon with all the same features, but they were about to offer the phone cheaper. So I got my new phone. We then went to the post office and came home. It will take me awhile to get used to it, but it is a lot better than my other one.

I guess I was a little excited about watching college football yesterday, as I did not go to bed until after 1am. I did get up at 9am, when Beth got hoe from church. we had breakfast and read the paper. Beth took all the trash out and I cleaned the kitchen. I fixed lunch and we went downstairs to watch the start of the new season. The Eagles played at one and started out looking just awful. They could not do anything right and found themselves down 17. At halftime we watched the Redzone and found the eagles doing well. Beth drank more and more and the Eagles did better and better. Next thing we knew they were leading and kept the lead. There was only 2 games on in the afternoon, but they were good. we had dinner and are not watching the Colts / Broncos. it will be another late night.
