Mother's Day ??????

Actually got out of here early after all the foot dragging. On the road by 9 AM, arrived 10:35. No stops today so made good time. Walked in and thought "this place needs more than the 3 hrs. I thought I would devote".

At 2:20 PM I left and had made the mess at least partially go away. Remade bed in Master bedroom for company, wiped down baths and cleaned toilets, vacuumed living room and dining room, washed dishes and cleaned kitchen (as much as possible) and did 2 loads of wash. Made a huge dent and it is now presentable for my brother and his family to move in tomorrow for 7 days.

Oh darn!!!!!! Forgot to turn thermostats back up to the 75 degrees my father keeps them on. It gets so hot in there that it's like a sauna especially when you are cleaning. Up to 85 usually because he keeps the woodstove burning for entertainment.

My sisters' daughter, Sara, is getting married next Saturday and this is the reason for the company. I will be going to Pap's also on Wednesday to spend the rest of the week visiting and attending the wedding in Waynesboro, Pa.

I love getting together with F2's family (my brother, Frank Jr.) because we are around the same age ( I am oldest) and we have so much in common that we can talk for hours and hours. He is the brains and has incite into any subject that comes up. He is constantly studying and researching any thing that catches his interest. A real "nerd" but brilliant.

On my way home, I stopped at Trader Joes for a few things and after the 1 1/2 hour trip and drinking coffee, I barely made it through the store without having an accident. My bladder gets smaller every day.

Tomorrow is another work day out in Occoquan and Tuesday I will get my things together to leave on Wednesday. Mike will be home Tuesday evening and will be here to tend to Barkley.

Happy Mother's Day.......

Surprise, surprise !!! My son just called to wish me a Happy Mother's day. He is my "rogue" son and it is hard to explain everything he has put us through, so any attention from him is unexpected.
