You all would have been laughing at me. I was taking a little break and sitting our watching my fish when I noticed a bag of stuff I am trying that says it keeps algae from forming in ponds was no longer sitting unobtrusively on the bottom but floating on top. I decided to anchor it to the bottom of the pond with a rock as it is anything but pretty. I have a stepping stone near the edge of the pond that is just barely submerged. It is very stable and will hold my weight with out moving if I need to step into the pond for any reason. So I stepped out on it, hunkered down and leaned forward to put the media bag where I wanted it and very slowly I could feel the rock tipping. With nothing to grab hold of, in slow motion I fell face first into my pond just like a kid. My pond is only about 2 feet deep at it's deepest but that was enough to dunk me head to toe. I bet the fish were more surprised than I was. It was laughable but I made such a mess of my beautiful pond. Tipped over a lilly and the stuff in the bag came oozing out and got all over the pond. Yuck.
On Sunday after meeting I made lunch and DH had to work so I attended to the housework I had left go the last 2 days and finished creating and printing the invitations for Drew's graduation party on the 28th. Turned out nice if I do say so myself. I used postcards, printing a picture of him on the day he launched his boat on the front and the party info and a his senior picture on the back. After supper DH and I hooked up our flat bed trailer and went to pick up a privacy fence we had bought for the new house and after unloading it there we picked up our lawn tractor from one DD's house and delivered it to the other's. Of course we got lots of grand naughties good night hugs and kisses as an added bonus. It was after 10 by the time we got home so I went straight to bed.
On Friday evening DH showed a home to the young couple in our rental, they loved it and their offer is accepted so they will be moving out July 1st. Which gives us time to paint and move in before August 1st. They are such nice kids even helped us unload all that heavy fencing. So it looks like the Contraryville move will go as planned all supposing the buyers for our house perform. So that was our weekend. Busy busy busy. We are hoping to have crossed more off our list of to dos each day. Today I have phone calls to make and maybe some work in the garage. I will also have little Belly for a couple of hours. Addressing and mailing the invitations is high on the list this week as well.
That is most of the news from Contraryville. They never caught the perpetrater of the crime spree and live is pretty much back to normal here. Wonder where he will show up next?
Hope all the bugs have a wonderful month a wonderful week and of course a wonderful day.

I think there are more hours in your day than in mine. It's amazing how much you can fit into a day!!
Sorry they didn't catch the bad guy, scary knowing he's still out there waiting to do harm to his next victims.
Take care dear friend, take a break now and then, and have a good day...Susie
Hugs,
..
Enjoy your day...
