New House Pics

A few new pictures of the house, as it goes up. You won't be able to see a lot of change. But they've done dirt work and started the actual construction. They say we should have walls this week sometime. Exciting!!!

Quick Run Through of Events

This past week has been a bit of a blur, being shortened by the Labor Day holiday. I will hit on the highlights.

• Last Saturday was my birthday (we won't say which number). The day started off with presents and breakfast in bed.....frosted mini wheats in a bowl so big it took all three of us to finish! This was followed by a call from Perry, my grandbabies and their sweet parents, Wes and Wendy, and then other family members. We did some running around and ended up at Red Lobster for dinner.
• Sunday was church and then friends and visiting teachers over for our usual batch of chocolate chip cookies.
• Monday was Labor Day. We went to Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill with a another family of friends. We took a horse drawn buggy tour of the village and heard the history of the Shakers. Very interesting. It was a beautiful day, completed by having this and another family over for dinner. Mark grilled the most tender, mouth watering steaks I have eaten in a long time. We also had sweet potato casserole, fruit salad, rolls and cucumbers & tomatoes. Deslicious!!! Oh! And the dessert - cheesecake and home made fudge! Needless to say, we were all stuffed!!
• Tuesday, Alysa was sick from all she ate the day before. So she stayed home from school and we got things done around the house.
• Wednesday & Thursday were normal days. Thursday evening, me and the girls went out AGAIN for Cari's birthday. A group of 6 went to Cheddar's for dinner and talked and laughed so hard, I'm sure people thought we'd been drinking! It was great!!
• Friday - nothing to report.
• Saturday - Today - Mark is in real estate class all day, Alysa and I are going to Lexington for some girl time and to eat at Red Robin, since she didn't get to go for my birthday girls' night. Then she's going to a birthday party and Mark and I will take in a movie.
