Temp-74 High-91

I sit here, watching "The Golden Girls" all because I don't want to get up. My feet HURT. We spent the weekend being busy. Friday night was the opening HS football game. Matt went 3/5 in PAT's. He out and out fluffed one and the other miss was a poor snap. Keith did not play. He is supposed to play Monday in the JV game. That made our night really late for the kids. They didn't get to bed until after 11pm.

Saturday we went over to the in-laws for dinner. I spent the day making a Key Lime pie and a banana cream pie. They actually came out really well.

Sunday we started some home maintenance projects. Of course, since this is Greg we are talking about, they projects didn't start until well past noon. And that was just the preliminaries. We had to journey up to Derby to Lowe's to get the supplies. We had two broken windows. One in Patrick's room and one in the living room. Both broken by Patrick, oddly enough. And since they were the original, double hung windows that someone had cut the weights on, Greg decided since he had them apart, he might as well fix them completely. And then there was the debate on matching the stain color. I was right.

So we get home, prep the window frames, and stain them all up. Then find out that since Greg measured the window before repairing it, his measurement was off and he told the lady the wrong measurement. So the glass was too small. So I get to make a trip to the glass store tomorrow to get the correct size.

I finally got the second hole dug and the second clothes line pole set today. Greg was nice and got the clothes line strung while I went and got clothes pins. I have done about 4 loads and hung them in the heat to dry. This should save a little $ on gas usage. Greg made a crack about working to get my dryer hooked up and now I am not using it. So I said that was less about the dryer hooked up and more about the fridge in the kitchen.

Well, I have to toddle. Talk to you all later!
