We woke to cool temps and a very windy day. Yep, I would say winter is on it’s heal to arriving here in Illinois. I did my regular morning routine of checking blogs i follow and of course face book to see what was going on with my family. It’s amazing how we are now a society that uses the internet to keep family informed of what is going on in our lives. My sister Rosie became a first time proud great grandma today and YESSS .. I’m a first time proud great great aunt today of a bouncing little girl. Welcome to the world Aubree Lin. Then i picked up our home and got some laundry going. I decided to take the day off from cleaning out cabinets. I have been doing 1 cabinet a day. Reaching above my head is very hard on my back and with these cooler temps it’s best to do absolutely nothing to aggravate it.
Later in the afternoon we went to our youngest son Gabe’s home in Jerseyville and got to see our grand dogs. YES as always they were excited to see Grammy and Papa. Then we went to see the house our son and daughter to be are trying to buy. It’s perfect for a first home and the wonderful part is that I love the basement that i am thinking will make a great mom and pop apartment :)) My son say’s it’s going to be a man cave .. i have another idea and best part of all is my daughter to be agrees! She says she could enjoy coming home to dinner ready, her home cleaned by pops and a built in dog .. oops babysitter :)
These men do not have a chance with the women in this family .. we stick together! Their drive way is big enough for our home to fit into and the yard beside the driveway with some work of removing some trees and some gravel could easily be made into a nice parking place for our home, but I'm loving the idea of making the basement into an apartment :) Oh YES ..I can see it now .. our investments may be starting to pay off with some serious mooch docking in the near future!!
After we looked over their cute home to be we took the kids out to dinner at Hardees(their choice). We spent more time visiting & discussing plans to their new home and of course WEDDING plans. July 6, 2013 our baby is marrying a wonderful girl that we are proud to call our daughter. We are hoping that the kids can get all the paper work done and be moved in by the first of the month. We’d love to move our departure date up but there is a few things that will need to be done to the house and hubby will help our son and his father in law to be do the work. So right now our departure date is up in the air until the kids find out when the repair work can start and our son can get moved in. Unfortunately time flew and before we knew it 8 PM had rolled around, so it was time to head home. The kids have to work tomorrow.
We got home just in time as the rain arrived. I was tired and my back was starting to scream so it is pain medication, a hot shower and off to bed I’m going.
