Well that was a mighty busy weekend on the board!  Thanks to all the participants.  


I'm glad it's Monday, my weekend was so chaotic.  We did manage to watch 2 DVD's though and I enjoyed both.  Queen Latifah in Last Holiday was really a cute film with good laughs.. true a no brainer but you know, that's just what I need to relax and kick back sometimes! LOL   Last night we watched NorthLand staged in Minnesota, with Charlise Theron  (IMHO a great actress).   That was a disturbing film based on a true story about the first women to be allowed to work in the mines in Minnesota....  and the horrible treatment they received.....   


We did get to go to the Octoberfest but only for a little while, it was just too crowded and  the sun shining brightly but I didn't bring my hat, so we couldn't stay.  We will go again this week sometime when it's not so crowded.     Went out to eat 4 times this weekend between lunch and dinners, it was nice. 


This week my ds will arrive (not sure when) , we'll have fun and laughs for sure.  It will be nice to see him... as we won't see him again until XMAS vacation..... 


Cleaning lady is here today, doing a marvelous job, and she got down all the storage boxes with our winter gear in it..... 8 huge boxes.  So I set  about switching over from summer to fall/winter.    Glad to get that done, it's MUCH easier when she helps me getting the boxes down and back up with the summer stuff in them.  A job well done.     She also finished the last of the windows so they all look good and I won't worry about them again until spring of course.  We planted a hisbuscus bush in the front, it's lilac and an pine in the back and dh dug holes for all my tulips, so all the planting is done.    (I told you it was CHAOTIC here)


I rearrange all my CD's today, maybe 200 or so,,,, separtated them into jazz, easy listening, lounge and cill out music,  classical (and those alphabetized by composer: easier to find qhat I'm looking for that way), country western, opera etc.... Moved the shelving together and it looks great and very neat and organized.


After Sat, I'll be packing for my next trip (next week already sigh).   Already putting aside things.... especially dh's stuff, so that he doesn't wear it again after I get it all washed and ironed.   He is just AWFUL about packing and figuring out what he wants to bring with him.....  sigh......  men!!!!!!


Enough about me,  what's going on with you guys....   grab your tea or coffee and start blabbing!

I had a busy weekend,we moved eldest step daughter back into college,she has so much stuff,then we took her grocery shopping.

Sunday i worked in the gardens,did alot of clean up,took the fountain apart in the back garden and set it up in the front,it looks much better out there.

Painted the steps in the front garden so they are now water proof ready for the winter,re-seeded some of the lawn in the back ,i was going to put away all the out door furniture,but summer has arrived again,so will leave things for awhile.

This morning i have a few errands to run,at the moment i have the bedding in the wash,then just have to do some vacuming and the day is mine to do whatever.

Have a great week everyone.

Von.

How long will you and Colleen be gone, Ann?


BTW, how do you find the CD you want to play if they aren't in some order?

Uh oh. Is North Country really "disturbing"? I bought it used recently, sight unseen. I've never seen any of her work, I don't think, but I saw her on Behind the Actors' Studio.


Gracious! You organized your CDs. Good for you! My goodness, but you have a wide range of tastes.
