New Furniture

This…

Is being replaced with this…

The Daughter & Grand-kids are living with us while they get themselves re-established here after moving back from Alaska. To give us a little more living space we took down the pool table in the basement and are replacing it with furniture and a TV. I really hate to see the pool table go even though we never played. It’s just been a fixture in our house for so long and it gave our guests something to do.
Tearing down the pool table was quite a chore as was getting the new furniture to the basement. We ended up totally disassembling the couch to get it in the door and down the stairs.

Our Cellist & Artist



Ally had gotten in trouble at school and was given a slightly bad behavior rating. She felt bad so she made her teacher this drawing (rolled up) that said she was sorry. On the day she gave the drawing to her teacher she got the worse behavioral rating the teacher gives. I guess on that day she learned her teacher can’t be bribed.
Ethan decided to play the cello in the grade school orchestra.

Today

Today while Nova, Donnita and Tara went to the movies, Jon, myself and the Grandkids went for a walk on a local nature trail. After that we went by the cemetery where my Grandparents and Uncle are buried. Tonight after Jon and Donnita left we grilled Brats and corn for supper.

Helicopters

Cleaned out the gutters today.

Filled the trash cart 1/4 full with “helicopters” from the 3 mature Maple trees we have.

This Morning In The Garden













Before the kids left Nova planted Moss Rose in the pots that they had painted and today I placed them on the shelf by the shed.
The Hibiscus is in bloom and surprisingly standing pretty erect.
Nova cut some flowers.
Then it rained.
