Saturday, Quite day, so nice.

 

I finally cleaned the shop.  Son in law was bringing the kids down and I just set a timer for 15 minutes, and kept resetting it. Kelsa sat in the hall in her bouncer and watched me. It actually only took me 1.5 hours to straighten the whole house, sweep and vacuum and clean the shop. I still have to mop floors and clean bathrooms, but I can do that later today or this evening.

I enjoyed the grand kids and Schmills and I went to wal-mart after Hubs got home to get a lego set he thought he needed.  HE and I love to put together lego kits.

I should have been working on a wedding dress, but I will do that on Monday.

Today hubs and I went to get a diet coke, we stopped by the Albertsons pharmacy to get prescriptions refilled. I wanted to buy some steaks to grill tomorrow and came upon a mother lode of marked down beef (50%).  I bought it all as I had a $7.00 off beef coupon I had earned  through points.  So we are stocked up on beef for a while. Plenty of steaks and a nice roast. I had not bought groceries last week or this week so that gave me extra money for this.

Hubs thinks we need a generator, so we are going to look for one this afternoon. We have talked about it for some time.  Our old house had two fireplaces so we could keep warm if we lost power.  Up here we have no source.  We have lost power in this area for days at a time due to storms (ice). The neighborhood we live in is more prone to power grid shut downs.

We have two missionaries tomorrow for dinner.  I am doing a rice pilaf, grill your own steak, yellow squash from the garden, corn on the cob, tossed salad and some kind of dessert, don't know what yet but I will find something in the freezer. I really should make a cake as I have mixes that I need to use.

It is so nice to have a day with no real plans. Hubs bought a new small tent yesterday as the one he took camping, that he had used for years fire fighting had only one stake with it and a broken zipper.  I am sure one of the kids used it about 7 or 8 years ago and this is the condition it was returned in.  Hubs has been retired for 6 years and had not been out on fire for about 2 years when he retired.So it sat like this.  When we camp we have taken the big family tent. When I was Wal mart last night I bought 10 heavy tent stakes.  He was thrilled.  Those little pieces of metal they give you with tents often won't go into the ground.  Anyway when I woke up this morning (I slept late) he had his new tent set up in the back yard.  Roscoe did not like it and barked at it until he took it down.  I think he thought it was a blue cow or something.

We also need to go look at block to build a wall for our blueberry bed.

Well I am off to putz around and enjoy my day.  What are you guys doing?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
