Last Day of June

Wow...its been 2 weeks since I've blogged...The first and most important news is that Jim and Nicole are back !!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Now the hunt is on for jobs and a place to live..Jobs first though. I've had the little dog here with me..What a trip !!!!!!!!!! She wears me out watching here..LOL. Saturday Jen had a Birthday Party for her son Taylor's 15th birthday...That was a fun filled afternoon. I hated to see the day end. So the birds have been eating my wheat...I went Monday and got Bird Netting to put over it..Tuesday I went out and let 4 birds out of it..did my laundry..got the pool emptied out and washed off and put away..oh yeah..had the grandkids last week end.. What a hoot they are. They had a blast at Jen's too. Lots to do today so no more time to write. Oh and Saturday was my baby boy's 31st birthday and he wasn't here to enjoy it...I love that boy

Busy Busy Week

What a busy week we had...this was Jen's last week home before she goes to Tennessee for a month with her grandparents. Monday Ken left for work, Jen 1 came over and we went to meet Jen 2's Mom, grandma and one of her aunts for lunch at Wendy's on Lake Ave...or as we call it Ghetto Wendys..all went well till we were leaving and this old man with a walker started screaming at the top of his lungs about how this black lady had run to get in front of him in line..doubting she had to run very fast coz I saw him walking. We went over to Aunties to introduce her to Jen 1 and then met Ken at Executive South...oh boy...lots of water and my balls with a desire to go swimming...luckily I had a lot of old balls so Jen and I used them..I think Ken actually ended up with more balls leaving then he did when we first got there. LOL. Tuesday my Mom and sister came to the city coz my sister had a doctor's appointment on Alexander Street and my Mom didn't know how to get there I took her. Left the doctor appointment and went over and picked up Aunt Edna and went to Greece to a Chinese Buffet, Ollies, and the dollar store. Wednesday Jen had a music lesson and then later on we went to Tractor Supply and I got some liquid fence to try and keep the deer and rabbits out of my garden. Thursday....hmmmm...I know we did something Thursday...just can't remember right now what it was.. Uh Duh !!!!!!! Thursday we went to Jen 1's and spent the afternoon. We went to this place called Tee Off. Its a driving range but they also have a grill and ice cream. Picked up Jen and her son Taylor and went to Tee Off and had lunch, then hit 2 bucket of balls, had ice cream and went back to Jen's to watch a little History Channel. Stopped at Little Caesars and picked up Pizza, Crazy Bread, Wings and Pop for supper.Friday we went on a quest to find material for culottes for me..Webster had some but not the amount I needed..supposedly Southtown had the right amount...drove over and surprise..they did but not in one hunk like I wanted. So I got half of what I needed and then stopped at Wegmans and picked up some lunch stuff and headed to the cousin's coz she and hubby had just gotten back from Myrtle Beach..Had a blast with them as usual and then came home. Today I went grocery shopping, got some newspapers and cardboard boxes in the recycling bin, vacummed, emptied garbage cans and did the dishes. Went out and layed in the hammock and started reading a magazine and it started raining...so in the house I came...I guess that's all for now...

Sunday

Yeah the whole hammock thing didn't work out...I think I grabbed a movie and went in and laid down on my bed. Saturday Jen went with her Mom for the day. Ken and I took to check out Executive South in Henrietta. We stopped on White Spruce Blvd so Ken could get his blood work done then stopped at Calkins Road Wegmans to pick up a sub pack that I like to get...last time I checked my Wegmans they were out of them. So got it and a coffee for Ken. Off to Executive South..hit a bucket of balls and checked to see if spectators were allowed and if they had any leagues on Monday nights. Went to Price Rite in Southtown Plaza and spent way to much money..over to Bj's to pick up a few more things and then stopped at Marketplace Wegmans to get rice cakes...home we came. Hung out here until Jen got home and then made a trip to our Wegmans for something for supper..sushi for Ken, pot stickers,potato skins, mini ravioli, pepperoni chunks and sodas for all of us. Watched a movie and worked on my Pogo badges. Then it was off to bed. Got up this morning and went to church..tonight is Kindergarten Graduation..Oh my word..those little ones are always soooooooo cute in their little caps and gowns.

Friday

Didn't go back to bed once I got up today...Got the laundry all washed and out on the line...side and back lawns all mowed and was done before lunch. Ate lunch and then ran off to BJ' to check on some prices and pick up some toilet paper and batteries. Counted my money in one of the aisles to make sure I had enough but somehow when I got to the check out I was $2.00 short. But they let me put the $2.00 on my debit card so I was good. Now I don't know what I want to do...start watching a movie or grab a magazine and head to the hammock. Guess I'll try the hammock first but that usually puts me to sleep so guess I better take my pillow and blankie too.

Thursday

Got up and made Ken's breakfast and packed his lunch as usual. Then headed off to join Jen at an awards ceremony at her son's school. It was fun..amongst the awards they had entertainment. Went back to Jen's to hang out while we waited for the driving range to open. I walked out the door and waited for her to shut the dogs into the kitchen. Looked downa and saw 2 little garter snakes slithering along the front of the house..Yuck Yuck Yuck...I hate snakes...even little garter snakes. Went to the driving range. Hit a bucket of balls and had lunch. I love spending time with her. Came back to her house where I saw a bigger garter snake curled up in the sun. I'll tell ya it didn't take me long to get in the house..LOL Spent some time talking with her Mom and Dad and then headed for home. As it was kinda late I stopped at Little Caesars and picked up a meal deal. Ken and Jen left for their Village Band Concert and I climbed into bed with my laptop and caught up on the Bachlorette. Today's plans are laundry and mowing the lawn.

Tuesday Still Still

Well I didn't read my e-mail, catch up on facebook or eat an early lunch. Ken called and wanted me to bring his tin ( something he keeps work papers in ) and eat lunch with him so off I went. Had a good time with him at lunch. Came home and finally caught up on my e-mail and face book with a little time out to fix my oven. The FedEx man finally got here with my package. So now I have meatloaf in the oven cooking. It smells soooooooooo good. Off to figure out what else to have with the meatloaf.

Tuesday Still

My Mom called this morning and said it was raining in Nunda..Hubby called and said it was sprinkling in Pittsford..It wasn't doing anything here so instead of reading e-mail and catching up on facebook I decided maybe I should get the front lawn mowed and start mulching my tomatos and broccoli. Walk outside and open the garage and I notice sprinkle marks on the van...which reminds me...the gutters need cleaning. So I drag out the ladder and clean the pine needles away from the down spouts so the water can drain down them instead of run over the sides. Got that done and it wasn't raining so on to mowing the front lawn. Emptied on catcher full of grass around the tomatos. Was about 7 swipes from having the front done when it started raining..but it wasn't raining hard so I finished up and have half the broccoli mulched. Now I don't know if I want an early lunch ( I didn't eat breakfast) or to read my e-mail and facebook..decisions decisions.

Tuesday

Yesterday while waiting for a package from UPS I tried to catch up on a new blog that Nicole had told me about about living life more simply. She had a link for another blog for a lady and her husband who live in a cabin on a float..a float is a bunch of logs bound together with a platform built on top of that and then a cabin built on top of the platform. Then its anchored to the shore with cables. As its anchored next to a very step cliff the only way to get to it is by boat. I sat here all afternoon reading their blog and then added it to my blogs to follow. This morning I woke up to a comment on my blog from the lady thanking me for following their blog. They live on the Powell River in Canada..How sweet of her to respond.. Today is the waiting game with FedEx so I can start using my oven to bake again. The bottom element burnt in half so I ordered one online..it also came from PA but it didn't leave till late afternoon Monday It arrived in West Henrietta this morning at 5 something and was on the truck for delivery at 7 something...those guys are quick !! Went and spent time with my kookie cousin last night. We always have a blast with them. They're headed off to Florida today in the car on a business trip. Was gonna do laundry but now its supposed to rain so Iguess I'll have to hold off until Friday..the next possibly nice day. Off to check face book and my e-mail seeings how I just got out of bed.

Monday

Monday was once again golf day...Jen came over a little early so she could use my high speed internet to order B-Day presents for her son. Picked Ken up at work and headed for Southern Meadows in Rush. 2 hours of walking and smacking that golf ball we headed to Henrietta for supper. Chili's again. I had the mini tacos.They were good but man oh man were they salty. Today was spent waiting for UPS to show up with the stuff I ordered for Taylor for his birthday. Any other day its a parade of UPS and FEDEX trucks up and down my street. Today it was dump trucks and nary a delivery truck in sight. Finally I heard the familiar sound of squeaky brakes and the package was here..YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!! Not much else going on.

I'll try....

Wow..I haven't posted a real post since April..Life has be C-R-A-Z-Y !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My sister's boyfriend having surgery, Shaun coming home, Nicole leaving to move to Tennessee.It's been a time of emotions and busyiness. So Shaun was home from May 3rd until May 27th. We were so busy seeing people and golfing every Monday and just hanging out. Nicole left the 16th of May for Tennessee..I still miss her incredibly.She's coming home for a visit in September though !!! I can't wait !!!!! Memorial Week end...Saturday we planted tomatoes,broccoli,sweet corn in the big grow bed. I planted 2 pots..one with a beef steak tomato and the other with a cherry tomato..and a third pot with 3 pepper plants. Also in the bed that had lettuce and spinach in it I planted 6 pepper plants. Monday we walked down to the village and watched the Webster Memorial Day parade, then went to Genesse Country Museum and walked around for a while. Jen and her son Taylor met us there...At 3 Ken and our Jen played in the Webster Village Band concert at GCM..they do that every Memorial Day...then the 5 of us drove into Batavia and had supper at Applebee's. Tuesday morning Ken left to go to work and discovered somebody had gone through his car..they stole a bunch of change and his key ring which had house keys, work keys and my extra van key on it. So instead of going to work he changed all the locks in the house, replaced our outside lights with motion sensor lights and replaced the ceiling fan in the bed room. Wednesday I did laundry and mowed the lawn. Thursday I went and picked up Jen and we went to Tully's for lunch and ate ice cream and hung out. Friday I got my hair done and hung out with my Auntie for a little while. Friday night I got my grandkids and Saturday we went to a graduation party. When we got home there was a message on the answering machine from the Pittsford Petco saying somebody had found our keys..It was the lady next door. Her son had found them Friday afternoon when he was mowing lawn under a bush on the other side of their property from our house. Apparently whoever took them threw them under the bush on their way down the road. Unfortunately my van key was missing. So there...I've caught up for the time being...

Just.....

sticking my head in to say, "Hey". Lots going on and I've been really busy. I haven't forgotten ya all...be patient.
