What are you weekend plans Fri, Sat, Sun

Gee I don't have much planned , it should be raining. 


Friday:  my kitchen in almost done and we pulled off the baseboards today and cleaned all under the cabinets and this afternoon I'll try to get the baseboards  wiped down.   We will leave those off for a couple days to see if we can figure out where the ants are coming in. There are no nests in this house  (phew).  Hoping when the time comes that my dh can figure out how to put the darned things back on (LOL) .    I needed to work on the LR  today as my dh has slowly been setting up his office in the LR, and it just looked like HELL-O so I moved some things around and hid the fax and  printer with cables, had to empty out and move the china cabinet to the other side of the door.  Luckily last time I was here I had emptied it out and washed all the crystal. Then decided to rearrange the LR furniture and clean  under the couches,, rolled up all the persian carpets and moved those around (gee those suckers are heavy!).  Moved the DR table around too,,, (combined LR/DR at my home).  All that took about 3.5 hrs.  It looks very clean and nice, and again found no ant problems in the LR (well one never knows). Then went outside to wash the 3 dumpsters and the house to the dumpsters and then the front gate, etc etc.    Yesterday we felled 2  8 foot holly trees (dh has to dig up the roots still and we have to decide what to  plant in there , they were doning the front stairs on each side,, so I'm thinking boxwoods or some sort of round ball shaped compact pine.   NOt sure what but I like the open look of it now so won't buy anything that will grow tall .  It will be fun looking for something though.    Well , I am tired so will try hard not to do anything else today.  We plan to go to the new (biggest in Germany ) media store this afternoon,  we're looking for a combo DVD player, radio, stereo type of thing, compact and easy to use, we saw one from Sony but want to look around a bit first.  


Sat no clue and sunday father's day, ,well ds is not here but hoping he calls his dad (he DID forget to call me on mother's day and couldn't figure out why I was hurt duh)...  so hoping dh has better luck.  Maybe I'll take dh to our favorite brunch.  We'll see.


this turned into a book, so what does your weekend look like?

today i am doing laundry and worrying about a phone call i got last night.
the gist of it was someone called and wanted to know where two of my grandchildren are. they are my son john's boys. they knew john is in the army and what company he is with and everything. i emailed john right away and told him about the call. i did tell the woman that the boys are in katy, texas but no specific. they live with their mom who has remarried and their last names are not the same. plus they stay with their grandparents while their mom works. i called the phone company this morning to find out where the call came from and was told i could only get that information with a court order and i could only get that if it was of a harassing nature. she told me if it happens again to call the sheriff's office and report it. so, with the war going on my son has something else to worry about isn't that lovely???
tomorrow we are going grocery shopping.
sunday is church and then our daughter and family are coming over. i'm getting a haircut, thank goodness. our youngest will call and maybe dh will get an email from john.

I'm so glad I don't have the passion for cleaning like you do Suzan. If I did, I'd probably be in the hospital by now..LOL!!


I hope your DS calls his dad. I always reminded my kids of such things, didn't want to take chances. ;-)


Last night we went out to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary. I love this restaurant, so beautiful and romantic, delicious foods and such. Our table was by the fireplace......

We began our dinner by sharing an appetizer of their Artichoke Dip with toasted breads along with glasses of cabernet wine. Next we both had their Shrimp Ravioli....light homemade

Why did you give the caller so much information? Did you know her or did

Whew! Again, you exhaust me with your accomplisments! I hope you find out where the ants are coming from and get rid of them - I hate ants, too.


Not much going on for me today. I did some cleaning and errands and am pretty much done for the day (I like my afternoons lazy, lol).


Tomorrow I'd like to get to the Farmer's Market, but we have the woman who bought our dd's old bed coming to get it rather early, so I don't know if I'll get there. Maybe dh won't need me to be there (no reason he would) and I could go alone. We'll see.


Sunday we have nothing planned. Dd and her dh are going to be away, so dh and I will hang around home.

i didn't give specific information, just a general area. i'm not even sure they still live in that area. their mother got back together with her second husband and i don't have a clue where they live anymore. so, i really didn't tell her anything helpful.
she made herself sound like she was someone who was in authority with the army. it took me by surprise and i told dh and from now on i am not answering the phone. that will be his job, totally.

Awww..wish we were traveling a bit further too Ellen. We will one of these days, if not next year, the following for sure. John's brother is in GA and my niece is in Jacksonville, FL and we will add you to that list!! Would be so fun to meet in Savannah and go to dinner at Lady & Sons as we'd mentioned in an earlier post. My husband has never been to Savannah
