The weekend is underway. I am definately glad about that!
I got Lee off to work. On our way into work, we passed a yard sale. They had a tent set up that appeard to be in pretty good condition. We use to have one, but it bit the dust...hehehehe We've been wanting to do some camping this summer with the grandboys. The one they had at the sale was a little domed 2 sleeper....perfect for two little boys. I suggested to Lee that I stop and see what they wanted...and he agreed. We figured we could buy a new one for about $15-20. We figured we'd pay about $10-12 for this one. The tent was in really good condition, except for one small hole in the door screen, but I think that can be fixed. She wanted $1 for it, and I could have probably talked her down to less...which is what you do at garage sales, and yard sales...but....I didn't, and just agreed to give her the $15. So, we now have started to rebuild our camping collection. I think we can do it for not too bad of an expense. Plus, if we do it a little at a time, it won't be so bad on the pocket book, as going out and buying it all at once. About 3-4 times a year, at work, they go through and pull old clothes, etc. from our lines at work; those clothes that people have never picked up, and pull out those that are over a year old. Then they're usually donated. I'm not sure if we have any, but I may ask Rex if they'd happen to be any sleeping bags. If there are, I might ask if I can pay for the cleaning and take them. That would sure be cheaper than buying new. I think we charge about $12 bucks to dryclean a sleeping bag. You sure can't buy a new one for that.
I only had a chance to drink about a cup and 1/2 of coffee before leaving to take Lee to work. Sure not enough to wake me up...hehehehe So, here I am now...starting on my 4th cup...lol! Maybe this one will do the trick. I think after this one, I'll be coffeed out! lol
Kirk and Tara-Lee and Eva should be here pretty soon. We're going to fix some breakfast, and they're gonna hang around till I go to work. I'm not sure what they're going to do after that. I don't guess we have anything planned for this evening, like going to Landon's or getting together with the kids. Or at least, no plans have been made yet. I'm not even sure if Landon works today...or Kirk. I have a feeling that Kirk will. He is a waiter at a 4 **** star restaurant, here in town. Saturdays are busy nights for them. So, depending on what everyone is doing, will probably determine what we're doing tonight. Lee may not feel like going anywhere, and just wanna come home after work. Guess we'll see how the day goes! He does enjoy going to Landon's at times, and having a nice relaxing swim in the pool, just to unwind from the stresses of the day.
Both of my boys love to cook...and have ever since they were little. Landon use to stand on a stool in front of the stove when he was about 6, so he could scramble his own egg! LOL I tease Kirk, that he is a much better cook now, than when he was younger. One time when he was about 9, he decided to fix a grilled cheese sandwich! HA HA HA...... I had to explain to him why you don't fix a grilled cheese sandwich....cheese side on the griddle!!!! Boy, talk about a stinkin' burnin' mess...LOL Kirk has always been one for the fancier cuisine. Landon, is a down home, gravy and biscuits cooker like me! lol Kirk waits at a **** restaurant... Landon cooks at a small local diner ... and boy do they have the BEST catfish!!!!
We still haven't heard anything else from Lee's mom on the motorcycle. I know that it's probably eatin' a hole in Lee's gutt, wondering what's going on....(even if he isn't saying anything). I know how badly he's been wanting a bike, so I know he is really anxious about whether this will take place. I know that the anticipation and waiting is exciting and nerve wracking, all at once. I know it is for me, and although I'd be TICKLED TO DEATH, to have another bike, I know it doesn't mean near as much to me, as it does him. I guess it means so much to me, because I know how much it means to him....when Lee's happy, I'm happy. I guess that's what it's about though...seeing those that you love when they are happy, makes you so happy for them! Our last bike was taken from us by a very deceitful acts. It was not right, and that made it all the harder to deal with...plus it was done by a relative, which even made it worse....wondering how someone who claims to "love" us, would do such a thing. But, anyway, Lee and I both have always said, since that day, that one day, God willing, we "would" have another one. We have trusted Him to make it possible! It looks now as though it may happen. We'll just keep praying, and wait and see! Now that Moriah is older and can stay by herself for awhile, or go visit her brothers, Lee and I would love to get involved again with the CMA (Christian Motorcyclists Association), as we were before, when we had our bike, while living at the lake. There is a CMA Chapter here in Columbia. Even without a bike, we would have been welcomed to get involved with the chapter here, but it always makes it so much more fun when you actually HAVE a bike...
Well, it looks like I have a full fledged book started here...hehehehe....guess my mouth got a little carried away...lol I do have a tendency to do that at times...
I hope that all of you have a great day! Even at 9:30 am, you can tell it's gonna be another scorcher here! I'm not sure what the temp is suppose to be today...haven't seen any weather yet. But, I'm sure we're lookin' at at least the lower 90's. I will, no doubt, be back here tonight, at some point or another, depending on whether we go do anything after work. I get off at 5:00, anyway, so should still have some time to come home and touch base with everyone here, before having to leave to do anything. So, I'm sure you'll see me later....( I know that you're all SOOOOOOOO thrilled at that!
Have a beautiful day, and I'll talk to all of you later on this evening! Be Cool!
Much love,
Lev
