Well, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself! I spent over 3 hours in the front yard working. I mowed (which only takes about 15 minutes in my front yard) and then worked on weeds on the side of my house and 1/2 of the front of my house. On the side of the house, there were literally TREES growing where they're not supposed to! 2 of them were all the way up to the roof. So that was work, getting those cut little by little until I could dig up the roots. Then I weeded, then I pulled all the growth in sidewalk cracks. I only have 1/2 of the front of the house to finish, but it was getting way too hot and the bees were starting to get aggressive as I was pulling weeds around their flowers. I'll finish that section tonight when the sun starts to go down. Then I have the whole length of my driveway to do, alongside the driveway up against my house are rocks which have become so overgrown with weeds, you can hardly see the rocks. I will try to do that this evening too. Then I'll tackle the backyard tomorrow, which is much larger.
My mom called to wish me happy birthday, and told me she & my aunt would like to come to take me to lunch tomorrow and possibly to the zoo, and they want to help with yardwork in the backyard.Tomorrow before they come I'll do a little cleaning inside the house. It's going to be a very productive weekend! Already starting to be so!
We had no where near the accessories though!!
Can't wait to see you guys next month!!
GUESS WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOW!!!!
I'm headed out to play slot machines! I haven't been to the casino for about 3 years and just love the nickel slots! I usually take $20 with me and just have a blast!
I'll be back later tonight for your reading pleasure.
& my father's side does provide some laughs...
but mom's is a hoot too....
Gydell said she would do a PC cruise too. Shw wants a long cruise and doesn't care where it goes!!
Sounds great.....is Gydell going on the B2B Tortola with us? If not, why not?
We had b een hoping to do SC etc when we were going up the East coast, but I don't think we are going to have time now. However, we are still really wanting to see this neck of the woods and we will certainly do it again.
I hope you were able to get some sleep and am glad you're starting to feel better Nan.
The main is at ~1:30 pm and we have our fingers crossed. Normally he runs 4th or 5th with this crowd, but since he is at his home track he is doing really well. Also last weekend we all got on him for not taking the inside line on this one corner to push someone out and pass and ya know what, he did it this time He kept arguing that he was driving the perfect line which is fastest, but we said it was no good since he couldn't force a pass, so it was really good that he took the risk and made the pass Aren't we sort of doing that already here?
Mental note - next time remember the cake,, must have cake for Nan to steal
Popped in on our 7 year old twin grandaughters' party. What fun. Fortunately for mum and dad it is only one party - there were 27 children there.
They had a guy doing a disco. He was absolutely brilliant. When we arrived they were all dancing doing the moves to HSM, and later Hanna Montana. In between they played games. He was great with the kids, and didn't mind being seen by adults doing all the actions etc etc. Even when the kids were eating tea and he was playing music, he was doin actions, all on his own at the front of the room.
You should have seen the table full of presents. 25 x2. Filled 3 bin bags!!! Big brother Joel was not impressed with that.
I am... nervously watching the news and also trying not to declare war with my sister who has a total of 3 whole bottles of water and apparently not much of an evacuation plan if we do have to leave... I'm hoping not... but I have no idea what to do...
BTW...I'm beginning to think no one is reading Planky much... I told him not to take too much of a sabatical after the cruise...
Ya know I scooped there for a year in high school right? The best job I ever had So I just tried to make a dinner resie for Ohana at the Poly for our anniversary night......nope.....sold out already and it's not even Sept yet and I'm making a reservation for a Monday night at the end of Sept. Wow! I had no idea I had to do it so far in advance. Not sure where we'll end up going that night now. Any ideas?
If you fancy going off site, Season's 52 up on Sand Lake Road is fantastic. The best steak ever and a great adult atmosphere. They use foods in season, hence their name. We are planning on eating there twice in December.Thanks Holly and Marilyn too. I slept way in today. Got up at 12:30pm. The phone was ringing all morning with good news but I was sleeping....
Wilson qualified 2nd and kept 2nd at his heat race.
yes you are correct we are watching it here, but I just figured it would be a perfect place to include the "rest" of the world in that specific conversation and not all our normal daily dribble...but I'm not a thread creator, so I leave it to Jackie's capable hands and it's her call.
I just "borrow" the cake, but now that you mention it I'll have a big bite, yum!
It wasn't as bad as a typical game since it wasn't sold out, but I think I'll be able to manage the crowds as long as Scott stays on my L side.
