Pool almost ready...

We were up around 7am. We had breakfast and got dressed. Beth went out to cut grass and I went to power wash the deck around the pool. I cleaned the tables and chairs. Beth came down to do the final part around the deck and the retaining wall. She finished up and I took a shower. I made a few called to get the balls rolling on mom's move. We meet a lady to drop off and yard sale sale and went to dinner at TGI Friday's. We had coupons, so dinner only cost us our drinks. We came home and I hat to water the flowers and the grass. I am so ready for bed. Hopefully we cane swim in the pool tomorrow.

Deck all clean...

We were both up around 8am.  We had breakfast and I went out to work on the rest of the deck. Beth went to church and then over to check on Dawn's cat. I  was able to get all the deck cleaned and it looks nice. I took a shower and we went to Lowe's and The Dollar Store. we came home and had hotdogs on the grill with coleslaw. A couple came by and looked at the pavers we had for sale. They will be back on Wednesday to pay for them and pick them up. I guess it was worth it to stack , count, and list them. It is suppose to rain all night and all day tomorrow, so it looks like time to work inside.

Outside work...

We were up around 8am. we had breakfast and headed outside. We worked on getting the 430 pavers all stacked and listed on the yard sale site. I got 2 people interested in them, so we will see if it pans out. We had some lunch and then started working on the deck. We got the upper part and wiped down and power washed. We will work on the lower level tomorrow. We were both so tired that after showers we went to Chili's for dinner. We came home and I had to water. The grass is coming in good in some place sand not in others. It was hot and yucky, but playing in the water was good. Time for bead and hope we can walk tomorrow.

Beth and Jojo went to the movies and before I got home. It was a tap warm today, so I spent some time in the basement. Jojo went swimming until her mom picked her up. Beth and I made a drop off for a yard sale sale and were home by 5:30pm. Dane came by for beers and dinner. We had to turn on the air as it was just too warm in the house and not going to get any better for a few days. We should be able to swim maybe tomorrow or Sunday.

An adventure...

We wee up around 8am and you could tell it was going to be a warm day. We had breakfast and got dressed. We loaded up all the metal and aluminum to take it to the scrape metal place. We had never been there, so it was going to be adventure. We got the truck weighted and then had to go to one building to have the aluminum weighted and then we unloaded the metal. We were surprised to get $53 dollars. So we came home and put it in the stash can with all the yard sale money. We had lunch and Beth went to mow the yard. I down sized my cookbooks and glasses in the china cabinet. The garage is getting cleaned and things set up for the yard sale. If we could make 300 buck it will be a success. It got to 85 today and felt great. It will push to the upper 80's the rest of the week. We may be able to swimnext week and the pool is so ready. We went to pick up some plastic pallets for a lady tonight on the yard sale site. We want to stack the all the extra pavers on them and see if we can sell them.

Sun and rain...

We were up at seeing Dr. Bill by 9am. We then went to the post office and then came home. Beth was suppose to meet someone at 11am for a yard sale sale, but she never showed up. we took Rylee's easel over to her house and brought Honey, the dog, over to our house for her to run awhile. I went to Wal-mart for a few things and came home. It was a nice sunny morning, but soon went away and was a rainy evening. I had just turned on the water for the yard as we have little sprigs of grass. I finally turned the water off, as it looked like we were going to get enough rain. Beth went to meet someone at the mall again for a yard sale sale and the did show up. We had dinner and I am now not allowed to eat any solid food. I have my upper GI tomorrow at 1pm my time.

Rain again...

So it is day 4799 of rain and no sun and I do not see it getting any better for another week. So we spent a lot of time today talking about our future and where do we go from here. We talked about the pro and cons of being Florida residents, selling the house and getting a smaller place, and moving to Florida. I can't say we have any answers, but have determine the getting a smaller place in PA is a must. We have decided to have a yard sale mid June to try and get rid of some of the stuff we have. So that will be our direction for now.

Long day...

I did not sleep well last night and had to get up at 5am. I am watching Rylee on Monday and Thursday on Dawn's 10 hour days. It is only for 7 weeks and I like taking Rylee to school. So I got Rylee up and dressed. I took her to school around 7:30am and came home. I had to call about the oven and they will send someone out tomorrow between 1 and 5pm. I cleaned up around the house and we picked up Payton around 4:30pm. We took him shopping and then out to eat for his birthday. We dropped him off and then went to Dawn's house and dropped off some of her stuff. We came home and I am trying to stay up until 9pm and then off to bed. It looks like it is going to rain off and on all week and be chilly.
