Saturdays schedule

This morning John and I had a really nice breakfast. Then we headed over to Lowe's. I need to get a metal cutter so I can make some more earrings. We went into the garden center and we bought a miniature gardenia, which grows outside here in the South. It smells wonderful. I lost a rose I had transplanted from the other house so I took that out of the container and slipped in the gardenia! It looks great out in the courtyard. I put it by the picnic table so we will be able to smell its wonderful fragrance while we relax out there! We came home from our errands and John and I figured out what was wrong with the water flow in the fountain. A bird had sat on the top of the acorn and crimped the rubber piping. That was an easy fix! I then drove John to work and came home and the big news of the day my car now resides in the garage!! It just makes it! Some day we will be able to pull both cars in the garage but that won't be in the next week that's for sure! Tonight we are dining with Jenny and Kevin. I have the Eggplant Parm all made and ready to pop in the oven before we have to leave.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Relax, enjoy and soak up the sun if it is out! Take care!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Happy Anniversary to Jenny and Kevin

Today Jenny and Kevin have been married for one year! Boy did that time fly! Unfortunately Jenny has to work late and she won't get home until late so they are going to have to celebrate their anniversary in a few days. John and I are going to have dinner with them on Saturday night-it will be good to see them!

Happy Anniversary you two!!

Love,

Mom and Dad

Gift from the Sea

On Monday night my bookclub met at the local Barnes & Noble and discussed Gifts from the Sea by Anne Murrow Lindbergh. What a wonderful and inspirational book! This book was written over 50 years ago and everything in this book still holds true for todays busy world. You really can't read this book quickly, this book is to be savored and reflected on. If you get a chance to read this book, you should! Everyone have a great day!

This is a happy day for John and I!!

Today after I got back to the office I noticed John had sent me an e-mail. He had wonderful, wonderful news! The Banks have accepted our Short Sale Contract on our house!! We have waited 1 month and 6 days to hear these words. Now they will set a closing date and the rest of the closing stuff! We can maybe finally get on with our lives! Thank you all for supporting us, it means the world to us! You all are the greatest!!

Summer Cold just doesn't quit!

I had a summer cold and I thought I was finally over it but then Saturday afternoon I started feeling really tired again. I thought it was just from cleaning the house and doing laundry. Our friends from our old neighborhood took us out for my belated birthday dinner and I felt fine then. We came home around 9:35 and I felt like I had been hit by a ton of bricks! I immediately went to sleep. Got up on Sunday and I felt crummy but still went to Church. The rest of the day I slept, read and watched HGTV and did absolutely nothing. Today I'm feeling better and I'm hoping the cold has finally left. Everyone have a great day!
