Yucky and cold...

We woke this morning to a yucky cold day. We got dressed in shorts and jackets to work outside. we finished planting the flowers and I got all the decorations for the backyard flower bed put out. Darlene came over with her dog to let her run in the backyard for awhile. Dawn had to work today, we helped kept Darlene company. We left after lunch to go get a few more flowers and we are done now. We had dinner and took some of Dawn's stuff from the garage over to her. It appears it will be yucky and cold for a few day.

flowers...

We were up around 7:15am. Beth did not have a good night sleeping and not sure why. We had appointments with Dr. Bill and then came home. I had to meet a lady a 10 for an item we sold on the yard sale site. we then went to Target and came home. Beth took a nap and I went outside for a bit to work on the back area. We were able to get most of the flowers planted before the rain tomorrow. We had a few for the big pots, but they need better soil. I had to meet someone at the mall at 5pm, again for something we sold. At least we are getting rid of some of the stuff around here.

Hard work

We were up late this morning. We went to get a load of mulch and also picked up some flowers. I unloaded the mulch around the fence where the water had left hole and around where the water line was fixed. I need one more load to finish the back part. Beth worked on putting pavers by the shed door. It looks nice. Beth went to 6pm mass and stopped to pick up hoagies for dinner. Dawn stopped by for a visit and had dinner with us.

Birthday party

We were up around 8:30am. I had o go the mall and deliver a couple items I sold. We then came home and had lunch before we left to go to Grayson 3rd birthday party in New Jersey. It was the first time we had seen Jack also and he is a cutie. We left there around 5:30pm and stopped by Ikea. Beth was looking at getting a smaller desk for the office and selling hers. We made it home around 8pm and a lady wanted to buy an item Beth had on the yard sale site, so we meet her around 8:30pm. It rained a little last night a the this morning, but not enough for us to check the gutter theory, so we will wait for another day.

Clean up...

We were up and outside around 10:30am. we started working on the drain under the deck, but found it was clean. So I think the leaves clogged the cutter and cause the rain to spill under the deck. We are going to watch it the next time we get rain and see what happens. Beth cut the grass and I had to spread the Preen to control the weeds. We have a lot of items on the yard sale site and we had to go to the mall to deliver one thing then went to the sports store. We are going to try our hand at frisbee golf. It should be interesting and entertaining.

Movie time...

We were up around 8:30am. we had breakfast and took showers. We went to the dry cleaners and dropped off some clothes at good will. We then picked up Jojo as she was out of school today and then went to the post office. we had lunch and then went to see Zootopia. It was a cute movie. Kim picked up Jojo around 4pm. A guy that I talked to about fixing the front lawn came by to give us an estimate. It was 1500 to 1700 dollars, which DJ and I thought was a little high. Going to get a few more before we decide to maybe do it ourselves.

Rough night...

Rylee stayed the night with us last night as Beth and Dawn went to Wendy's birthday party. I told her she could sleep downstairs in the tent, which she has wanted to do for awhile now. So we got ready for bed, I slept on the couch next to the tent she was sleeping in. The couch was not comfortable at all and Rylee woke me at 3am and wanted to go upstairs. The floor was too hard for her. So off to the guest bed we went. We slept for 3 hours and she was ready to get up at 6am. Beth got up around 8:30am and went to get pastries at the store. Dawn and Darlene came over around 10am. Rylee spent most of the day playing across the street with water guns and about 6 other kids. We tried to work out back, but got little done. The gang left around 5pm and I fixed dinner. I am so ready for bed and hope to sleep well tonight. We are watching Jojo tomorrow.

A day outside...

We were up around 8:30am and had some breakfast. We went to work outside on some projects. We are looking to see what needs to be done to sale our house. Beth cut the grass and I pull out pulled 2 bushed out with my truck. we wanted to make the area around the flag pole smaller and easier to cut with the riding mower. We came in and had some lunch and took showers. we had to go pick up Beth's car and then went to dinner. It looks like the next few days are sunny and warm and time to work outside more.

Snow...

We were up around 8am. It was a cold day and sure enough snow started to fall. Beth had to go pick up pool chemicals as they were having a sale. I got the guest bedroom and bathroom cleaned. The snow was a wet heavy one and covered the ground as it fell, but was not going to be around long. It finally stopped around 2pm. Dawn had a gathering at her house for some friends of her so they could meet Darleen. It was a good time. The snow had gone by the time we left to come home around 10pm.

Laundry and packing...

We were up around 8am this morning. Beth went to church and found it was food donation day. This was good for us as we had also of food that would spoil before we come back. So we loaded up what we had and she took it back to church. I was able to get 4 loads of laundry done and have a couple more tomorrow. Beth went to casino and did some cleaning. We went to The Sands for dinner and enjoyed the view. We visited with Bill and Betty on last time before we leave on Tuesday.

Breakfast and packing...

We were up and out the door for breakfast around 9am. We then went to Wal-mart and were able to get swimming suits. Since the weather is warm year round it is easy to get shorts and suits all the time. We came home and I started packing. We are about 75% packed and hoping to get to the beach or pool one more time before we leave. We went to Flannigan's for dinner. Beth had prime rib and I had ribs. Yum Yum.

Pool time...

It was windy today and was yellow and purple flag day. We decided to go to the pool for a couple hours. The water was warm and the sun was shinning. We came upstairs for some lunch and then sat on the balcony for awhile. I took a shower and worked on packing the food items. Beth took a nap most of the afternoon. I fixed chicken and roasted veggie for dinner. We watched a movie and had popcorn.
