Wednesday: they're here!

The Hilldore girls made it over here, even with some plane troubles.
Flurry enjoys being included as one of the girls too.

Tuesday: Flurry and the catepillar

For your viewing pleasure: another Flurry video

Bother...I can't get it to embed. Here is the link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7498580757738201956&hl=en

What you don't see in the video is that Flurry did kill the caterpillar, ate it, and left caterpillar liquid on the floor. Oh well, I guess it's a small price to pay for having a bug free house.

Tuesday

Well, today wasn't very exciting. Work is now a bit slow, although at the end of the day I got some work for tomorrow, so that's exciting. It is a good week to take a few vacation days. :)

I'm also tackling our front weeds. Not just trying to keep them low and thin, but actually trying to remove the roots and clear so that real grass can grow in. The hardest part is where the grass is starting to grow in, but it is right by the weeds. I don't want to pull out the grass but I do want to get the weeds. Great story, eh?

My goal was to do a lot of chores this evening. I have several done, but would like to do a few more.

Sunday: at our place

People came over to our place today so Doug and Heather could see it. We played Life, had some spaghetti, watched a movie. Good times.

And a cute one from Friday

Saturday: a good day

Today our Bible Study was hosting a garage sale/flea market to raise some money, so we went over there to help out for a few hours. It turns out that Ben is really, really good at getting people to take things they only sort-of want. It was a lot of fun to watch him give people good deals and get rid of stuff so that we didn't have to deal with it later. He also managed to sell two wingback chairs that were in great condition but were...pink. They started out the morning at $45 and ended up leaving for $5, but everyone was happy because that was a large thing that we now didn't have to deal with afterwards.


Then we went over to Dusty and Laura's to grill and play poker. It got rather hilarious at times. I think I had tears of laughter 3 or 4 times.

Friday

Ben got me roses today. :D

Thursday: woo-hoo

I'm not working tomorrow, which is rather exciting. I don't even feel guilty because there isn't a lot of stuff on my to-do list.

Doug and Heather are here for the weekend which is one reason I'm not working tomorrow. I expect a semi-lazy morning and then we'll head over to see them.

I took these pictures a while ago, but they're true almost every morning. They are little spider webs that are in the grass. I don't recall ever seeing this before in the places I lived, and for sure not as many as we have. They're actually kind of cute.
