And it is going to be a warm one here with 80s and 90s this week. Have to drag the shorts and tees back out! It is a gorgeous Monday morning out there.
Well the bills are paid and I am broke. Lots of unexpected bills and they sure do hurt when you are thinking Christmas and not stupid car repairs. Today is laundry, over and over and over again laundry! Tonight I am fixing polish sausage and mac and cheese for the boys and I will eat left over tortellini soup. Easy enough for a warm day.
Yesterday we saw the new house finished and it is beautiful. The table is not at all what I expected. I thought it would be a plain long table but it has huge legs that have been carved and detailed and it is BIG! She also showed us an ironing board top my BIL had found behind a cabinet in the old house. One of his great grandfathers carved it and also put his name and the date on it...1900. It is so unimpressive when you look at it as a piece of wood and amazing that this priceless thing has lasted all these years without hitting a burn pile. To think you would carve your name and date on an household item like that and have it last 118 years. Anyway as you can tell we were impressed and had a great lunch on top of all that! Jon timed the trip and it was exactly a one hour drive for him. He does drive a little faster than me but it won't add that much to my drive time.
This stupid coffee pot is deciding when to give me hot water and now how much it wants to dispense. This morning I waited and waited and waited for water and it gave me half a cup and I had to rerun it for the other half and wait again. Jon will not replace it with the new one I bought because it is working....barely in my estimation but wonderfully in his since he 'repaired' it. I may have to handle this myself and find the trash can.
Will start laundry and do whatever comes up today. No big plans. Will see if Andrew will drag out the decorations tonight. Time to put the birdhouses that are decorating the porch away and replace them with the fake pumpkins. I have several that are made out of flower pot material and won;t rot in the heat coming up this week. After the snake thing I don't put mums on the porch any longer.
Time to start the day. Have a great one...going to be warm again here!!
