Enjoy the weekend, and be safe out there.

Maybe you'll float into Deej and Steph? I think they are floating somewhere this weekend, too!

well here's what we're doing. Tonight Patty and a friend visiting from Denver are going to hang out with some other college friends. So we'll be kid-less. Think we'll go to dinner and maybe go dancing. Stranger things have happened. Or he may suprise me with better plans. Wink

Tomorrow I'm planning to pack stuff up from my Gramma's house which is FINALLY in escrow. Joe hasn't had a day off in a long time so he'll probably putz in the yard. But it's so dang hot who knows.

Sunday I'm having a Pampered Chef party (yay) so I'll be busy with that and Joe has to go back to work. Monday Joe works so I'll probably just hang out. I think Patty and her friend have plans all weekend.

Kinders would be great. But since I am here now I would hate to do a disservice to North Carolina BBQ.
I feel it is my duty to find a great place to eat here.
With Kinders, I have something to look forward to when I visit.

We are taking a weeks vacation at our time share in Lake Geneva WI. Didn't feel like flying to the Orlando FL one this year. We traded the one Prime week in Orlando for one week in Lake Geneva and one week in St. Louis. We will be in St. Louis the end of the month for a church convention. This week we will be playing lots of golf, eating out, relaxing, sleeping in, enjoying the sunsets, go for walks, just the two of us. A nice get away from all that is going on around here with the kids and grandkids.

I'm not trying to make you feel envious, but we're going to the Highland Games tomorrow to a) watch our neice play rugby, and b) see literally hundreds of men in kilts heaving stones, throwing battle axes, and tossing cabers.

I'm painting also. I've got one more room to do, the master bedroom. Let me tell ya, it sucks painting the interior of your house while you're living in it!

Cheesy

A float is getting in a canoe and paddling/floating down the river. There were a couple of inflatable rafts and kayaks.

Back and had a great time. The weekend went by way too fast.

Saturday and Sunday were spent cutting a pine down to size. You ever cut down a tree that's 20" across with a 14" chainsaw? Damed thing looked like a bever brought it down Grin

Sunday night we had a nice fire. My kids came and went all night. Evan and Jenna came back from their honeymoon. Landed at 9pm and were out back with us by 10:30pm.

Monday we didn't do much Cool

All in all it was a great weekend Wink
