10 Days in Review
Wow...another 10 days have sped by, and I have barely had time to post. So for those who have inquiring minds as to what we are up to, here goes.... (For those of you who could care less, feel free to move on in your Internet surfing).
September 19th-20th - Katrina had a friend come over and spend the night. My neighbors came over and we watched Stephen King's The Shining (the one made for television that is actually way better than the Jack Nicholson one). On Saturday afternoon, Katrina went to FunQuest to skate with her friends. I worked on my paralegal homework.
September 21st - We went to my mom and stepfather's church as he was going to be preaching. Afterwards, they had a birthday lunch. It was very neat, instead of sitting with your family or maybe the friends you always hang out with, you sat with other people who had a birthday the same month you do. Each table was decorated based on the month (red, white and blue for July for instance). I had a lovely talk with a young man named Spencer who regaled me with fishing stories. Then the kids had Awanas in the evening and I did more class work for my class.
September 22nd - school in the morning, group piano lessons in the afternoon.
September 23rd - We had to get up and leave early to go to the Orthodontist. One of the brackets for Jack's braces had come loose from his teeth, so we had to go have it reattached. Then we went to Sam's because we had gotten a letter from them that the bag of Members Mark Catfood we had recently purchased had been recalled due to a possibility of Salmonella contamination. Then we came back and did some school work and waited for the fence guy to come. We are having a fence built around our back yard. In the afternoon, we did some work on cleaning out some of the woods that the fence will be going through.
September 24th - School in the morning. The guy came back and finished fixing our freezer...we are so excited, ice comes out again! Then, the kids and I worked on another wooded section (there are three wooded sections that will be impacted by the fence going through them. Then I had class (which I blogged about how great that was). And on the way home, I stopped and got groceries.
September 25th - School in the morning. Library to pick up books. Lowe's to get shelves for our small storage thingy we bought last week. Back home I mowed our yard (the first time in over a year for me because of my knee) and weed eated (can you believe that some of that grass that I mowed just last Thursday has already grown four inches!!!! GEEZ!!! Daniel came home. We had hoped to burn some brush, but Daniel was not feeling well and the rains came in... So I made a pound cake for Saturday instead. And I made a sign for Saturday too.
September 26th - I had an appoinment with my knee doctor. I am amazed how wonderful my knee feels with me following his recommendations. I am exercising 30 minutes 5-6 days a week and taking the glucosamine. It's awesome to be able to move better, though steps are still troublesome for me. Before going to the doctor, I made three loaves of pumpkin bread and some French Breakfast Puffs for Saturday. After getting back from my appointment, I worked on PL class work. I took my baked goods and sign to the church.
September 27th - we left the house about 10 and headed to River Ridge Mall. The kids were both scheduled to play the piano in a recital at 11:00. After they were done, we grabbed some lunch at Golden Corral, then headed to Bedford for Centerfest. We spent about an hour wandering around visiting the crafters, local businesses, and other booths set up for Centerfest. Centerfest is a big deal in Bedford once a year. People from all over come there to sell their wares. Also businesses set up booths to give people information about themselves. And there are rides, lots of yummy food and there was plenty of political action going on. We helped to man our Youth Group's bake sale booth from 2-5. This is a youth fundraiser where the kids try to raise money towards going to Go Tell camp next summer. We had a great time and I even got to meet Mark Warner and shake his hand as he came through campaigning. We helped the Pastor and his wife pack up, then headed for home...pretty tired. We watched a Jean Shepherd movie and then fell fast asleep.
September 28th - church, the kids and I burned three piles of brush, school work, Awanas. While the kids were at Awanas, Daniel and I had a chance to sit and talk about things I needed to be working on in the week ahead.
September 29th - Field Trip! We visited Johnson's Apple Orchard. It is a wonderful field trip and it was a beautiful day. After a picnic lunch, we headed to Lynchburg for a trip to the Pet Store and then piano lessons and then to Goodwill to shop for some pants for Jack. He has grown another two inches! His inseam is now three inches longer than his dad's! Then we came home and I did some work for my class. I am still watching LOST by the way, and I have two more episodes to watch before getting to the end of season four. Christian is alive??? Claire has abandoned Aaron??? Only 6 get rescued??? The island gets moved???? So much going on!!!!
September 30th - school in the morning, PL class work for me in the afternoon as well as some phone calls and the first day we didn't have to go anywhere at all in ages!!! It was nice to be home!!!!!!
In three more days, we will be heading to PA to pick up something...but you will have to come back Sunday or Monday to find out what! (That is assumiing you have read this far).
Have a great day!
Does it have something to do with your storage shed? And maybe the pet store? I dunno.. you didn't say why you went to the pet store...
I can't remember who Christian is on Lost. I hope it starts soon!!!
