Outing with a friend

I got up and got dressed. Today my friend Wanda and I are spending our last day together for the year.

She has a dr appt and then the rest of the day is gonna be spent going to quilt shops! Wanda loves to quilt and i used to do lots of it and i still enjoy looking through the shops.

After her dr visit, we headed to Rochester to our favorite quilt shop. After spending several hours just browsing it was time for lunch.

We decided on something different today. We went to a nice quiet place (i forget the name) but the food was wonderful. We opted to have the pony shoes and wow they were so good. They make their own white cheese sauce and man o man it was so good!

After lunch we headed to Hobby Lobby, yes it’s one of my favorite’s. I bought a quilt book with a few pattern’s i might like to try some day, a Christmas story panel and some material to make a throw with. I’m thinking it’s gonna be one of my winter project .. what you think?

Then it was time to head to Joann’s … quilters can’t pass up that one either. I did purchase a couple of cutting boards and another quilt book that had more patterns. Then it was on to Wal-mart as she needed some things. We finally got home around 6.30 pm and i threw a pizza in the oven for dinner and spent the evening watching TV with hubby.

A Day with family

We got up and got things around. Today we are spending the day with our Oldest son and his family. Yeppie a day with our precious grandkids.

We spent the day enjoying our last day with our grandkids. Our daughter in law is fixing us a nice supper (Thanks Heather) since we had plans to go visit hubby’s mom our daughter in law decided to take supper to her house and fix it. My mother in law is recovering from rotary cup surgery. We had supper and a wonderful visit and the day went by so fast.

We had plans to play games with our friends Cliff and Georgia but since we didn’t get home until late it was decided we’d skip game night. Instead we came home and i took a shower and was in bed by 8.30 pm. Yep, grandma was exhausted but it was a wonderful day spending it with family

A Day of running around

Today was a day of just moving as we wanted. Sometimes those days are wonderful. I love being able to move about and do what i want or just plain be lazy if i want.

Finally around 11 am we got dressed and decided we better get some grocery shopping done if we want food to eat next week.

First we stopped at Rural King to look at their 20T jacks and then it was over to Tractor Supply. They were cheaper at Rural King so it was back to there. Hey 10 bucks is 10 bucks, esp since they are only a few blocks from each other. Then i needed to stop by the Dollar Tree. Then we decided we were hungry and so we went to our favorite place, yep .. Chinese. After lunch we did the Aldie’s and Wal-mart run and by the time we got home it was getting late. We got home put things away and then headed to play games with our friends. We had a fun night.

more work

It was a cool morning and i spent my time on the computer mapping out our route for next week. I have our route, stops for fuel and overnight stay all marked out.

After lunch i decided to wash the awning … well part of it. I got the underneath side done but only part of the top side. It will not go down far enough for me to reach like our old one. I am not able to climb on top of our rig to wash it from the roof. (hubby will have to do it later)

Almost everything outside is put away, except for lawn chairs, outside rug and bbq grill. After i finished up i came inside and book reservations for Florida in March.

Friday we are heading to spend the night Jackson, Tn and then were heading to Mississippi about 60 miles from Mobile, AL. Then we will head to Florida near Tampa for a wedding.

It’s been a great time here and of course we didn’t get to do all that we would of liked. There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to. How true that song is.

After dinner we played games with friends and then it was home to get ready for another busy day tomorrow.

packing things away

I got up and got a load of laundry going and then i spent the morning just relaxing in my pj’s. After lunch i decided i better get busy getting some things done as we’ve decided on a departure date for Friday Oct 29th.

I took everything out from under the outside compartment and went through it and sorted what will go to storage and then put what was staying back. Then i gave 2 out of the 3 dogs a hair cut. Duke will have to wait until another day as the clippers gave out just as i was finishing up the 2nd dog.

After dinner we went and played games with friends and then it was back home and to bed.

More Laundry

I got up and got more laundry going. Having a washer/dryer in my home again is nice but .. you can only do a very small load at one time and it takes a couple of hrs per load. Yep, that is a down fall, as it only takes a couple of hours to do 8 loads. Although i have to admit i like not having to drag it in and out. I can put a load in and do other things.

I went to say bye to Archie and Carol (I missed Harvey and Julie) then i came back home and printed out some new pictures of my grandkids to update the pictures i have on the wall of them. Mine were really out of date.

After lunch i stripped our bed and took our covers over to the laundry across the road from us to get them cleaned up. They will be closing the laundry over there soon as Nov 1st is the date they like to have the water cut off.

After dinner we spent a quiet night at home just relaxing. Hubby still isn’t feeling well. His tooth is still hurting and so he is under the weather and with all the activity he is just wore out.

Cleaning Day

I got up and decided i better get this place cleaned up. I got a load of laundry going as i have several since i hadn’t done laundry all weekend. Then i got a apple crisp going in the oven and went to work on scrubbing and vacuuming. Yes i know, that isn’t fun but it has to be done.

After lunch i went to visit my friend Carol and then back home. We played games after dinner with our friends. This will be the last time with Archie and Carol, Julie and Harvey as they are heading out tomorrow.
