Again...

Again, I didn't post early this week. Sorry - just didn't feel like it I guess. We had a fun filled, labor intensive weekend. Spent it with family and friends doing all sorts of "work". Ceiling fan hung Friday night, move K on Sat. am, 3 ceiling fans hung at another house, bulletin boards finished for K since she can't climb on anything (belly too big and knocks her balance off - ha!), more work tried Sunday for K, gift purchased for the other K. We had to bring some of the work home as R didn't have a saw to cut a door to fit, original was damaged while moving the monster of a couch. A lot of laughter through the weekend making it a great time even with all the work.

I have this plan you see of having friends and family help each other to complete their "honey do" lists! It is boring and takes longer if you do it yourself so why not all help each other. Each month a weekend is dedicated to helping each other complete a task or many tasks at one or a number of homes. For those that don't know how to do something they learn and the skills of all are shared. How fun would that be? We need a commitment from all participating to continue to help each other and from there look what could be completed. Might keep us from procrastinating too.

Anyway - menu coming up.

Monday - BLT's and chips - help B with hanging a door.
Tuesday - Sausage, tomatoes and corn
Wednesday - Salmon, rice
Thursday - Salad (either taco or chicken)
Friday - camping so maybe pizza pie irons - yummmmmm!

Have a great rest of the week and weekend!

Late...

Better late than never right???? Oh well! R arrived home Friday am at like 6ish...slept for a couple of minutes after we chatted for a few. Lil Miss was to arrive at 8/830ish - and he was up again. Napped for a few while she napped only to have friends arrive for lunch on their way home from the concert the night before. Go Jimmy! Other friends arrived too and we hung out till about 4pm. Then another little nap for him before mowing. Saturday we hung out for a little while and picked Mac up to head to Cleveland for an overnight to make shower invites for K. It was fun to have her there and everyone get to see her and play. C, B and A enjoyed playing, swimming, piano/singing and everything else she got herself in to. She is a joy! She slept the entire ride there and was awake the entire ride back; she was so good both ways.

Menu this week:
Monday - stir fry - just meat and veggies
Tuesday - BLT's
Wednesday - Chicken Salads
Thursday - Sausage, Salad
Friday - heading to CBus

Moving K to her new condo this weekend and hanging ceiling fans for others. Maybe I will paint while they hang fans. Need to get that done! Have a great week!

Another...

Another week of R out of town. Guess what that means? Yep, no dinner plans except for Friday - he will be home early - a red eye in from the west coast. We didn't do much this weekend as he was home for less than 48 hours and he had chores to do. Mow the back is one of those - I just can't do that part of the yard. Front was done on Friday afternoon. And the neighbor man, J - he edged the front for me, so I swept for him! That was so nice of him.

R made pork roast this weekend, steaks and pork chops. I have many leftovers to eat. Corn, Cucumber salad, tossed salad are the leftover sides; I have fresh broccoli too. The best though, he made raspberry/blackberry pie with a kind of struedel topping. We had it Saturday night, friends were here for dinner. It was so good! It didn't hold together as pie but we ate it in bowls with ice cream, and he is gone so I get the leftovers!

Mac is here today and Friday - Poppy will be happy after sleeping a bit on Friday. He misses her a lot; he didn't get to see her this weekend and it made him sad. I want to take Mac to Sonic today cause I would like a cherry limeade. I have only had it once but I certainly want more! We'll see if the nap schedule works out with the happy hour at Sonic, if not, another day.

K had a dr. appt. today and she sounded so much better after this one than she has recently. BP was down a bit; heart beat was heard over her own; baby flipping again so makes her feel better. Here's to wishing she finds the answer to continue to relax. School starts in a couple of weeks for her.

Oh well, better get lunch before lil miss wakes up and wants my food as well as her own. Have a great week.

Wedding...

We went to a wedding this weekend and it was fun. Sat with the kids at the reception and they just have so much fun laughing and carrying on remembering all their high school days together. Too funny!

Sunday we had breakfast and had B & S over too so they could see the kids. Hung out for the afternoon and then went to what I would term "an engagement gathering". Yes, another wedding is in the works and will be held in the Czech Republic sometime early spring in '10. How exciting for mom and dad to participate in the planning of their only son's wedding. All the kids and Mac were there for the fun and to meet the bride to be. Our families have been so close over the years that it feels like one of your own is being married, sorta! Glad to not have to pay for another right now.

R will be traveling this week, leaves tomorrow; so dinners will be leftovers most of the week. And that is ok. I went to CBus last week and hung out with K as she is having difficulties with her bp. Trying to help as much as I can. We will go down again soon to help K move to her new place.

Dinner tonight is chicken and baked potatoes. Want R to cook extra chicken for my dinners later this week. He will be home Friday night. Have fun this week!
