Happy Weekend :o)

Quiet night tonight. Beth went to Chicago today for a Cubs game with her sisters and BIL Tom (he is a great guy). They are not home yet, hence the quietness. It is kind of weird not having her here to greet me when I walk in the door.

My plan was to get out early from work, and run some errands. I was partially successful, did get out after a 9-1/2 hour day, but I had only planned on an 8 hour day today. I was able to get my errands done, consisting of work candy, another mirror for the garage (workout area), and 14 bags of water softener salt (seven for the truck and two for each Mustang for winter preps, the rest for the softener).

On the down side, the work day ended with a group meeting with our VP, and his statement was "I always tell you if this is a coaching session or an ass chewing, and This Is An Ass Chewing." Not a good way to end the day, and the next week or two will be challenging. Not worth going into details here, every job has its challenges.

Needless to say, I feel wiped and am definitely ready for the weekend. Tomorrow will be low keyed, doing things around the house, then watching the Irish successfully take on Michigan. On Sunday we are going to a local Nature Conservancy location for a private guided tour, and then Sunday night it is "DA BEARS".

Hope you have a great weekend planned, I know that the weather is expected to be great here.

Happy Weekend To You :o)

Weekends always seem to pass to fast, and there seems to inevitably by things that do not get done. Lucky for me, this weekend, it is work-work that took the hit :o)

Yesterday, we headed to Beth's folks place to return the garage sale tables, and got them unloaded just before a steady rain hit. It rained for a couple of hours, but cleared up at home just in time for me to BBQ some turkey thighs. If I do say so myself, I have mastered this grill, and we have some mighty tasting tidbits. Tonight is steak and potatoes and onions in the barbie, and a big salad with Blue Cheese dressing - YUM!

We had a really nice visit yesterday with Beth's folks, talking about family, road trips, retirement, and their potential moving into a smaller place.

Today, it was a bright and sunny day, it was wonderful. Our early focus was taking the bunk beds to Sister Susie. Knowing that we had a full plate, I mowed the lawn before we headed out, got cleaned up, and headed out about 12:15. Beth and Susie got to visit, and I set up the bunk beds. It went pretty smoothly :o)

Then we headed around the bend (South Bend that is) and sat outside in the bright sunshine for a couple of hours with my folks. Much laughing and chatting was done by all.

I am pleased to report, all in all, both sets of folks are doing swimmingly :o)

We got home tonight in time to watch Tiger win the Buick Open, he is such a great player.

Well, that is about it, time to go fire up the barbie and grill some steaks. Hope you had a nice weekend, and that your week goes fast. I know mine will, and I have a three day weekend looming, so all is well :o)
