Cleaning House

Usually I wait until Thursday to do my main house cleaning but this week I am trying to get some of it done early. I cleaned the bathrooms and did the dusting tonight. Either tomorrow or Thursday I will vacuum the house, at least the upstairs. With our new carpet it is difficult to see if it needs vacuuming or not.

Thunder

Last night while I was at the kitchen counter, a loud clap of thunder totally startled me. I turned to Bill and I am sure the look on my face was terror at that moment. It just seemed to come out of nowhere. There hasn't been any thunder since either. It was supposed to rain last night, but we have been dry so far.

Family Trip

Over the years we've gone on several family vacations. Whatever we did, it seems we always had such a great time. Some of the time we would visit beaches, amusement parks, and even go to sporting events. I'm not a huge sports fan, but I do enjoy watching major league baseball in person. We've gone to a few games and they're a lot of fun. I think my favorites have been the Minnesota Twins and the Kansas City Royals!

I'd like to plan to go to more, and recently came across Ticket America which is a great place to look for tickets. Do you like baseball? If so, you'll want to check here for your tickets. No matter if you're looking to watch the Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, or someone else...they have tickets for them all.

Hopefully our family can plan a trip to see a game sometime soon. It's been a while, but I know we'd have a great time like always!

Grandkids

Our daughter and her husband are in the process of trying to sell their home. Although they don't have a buyer yet, they are looking for homes so that they're ready when the time comes. Yesterday they were looking at a house, so we got to watch the grandkids! YAY! We always enjoy our time spent with them. Our granddaughter loves to play and our 8 month old grandson is a little guy on the go. They're both very good and sweet. What a blessing they are!

Snow Boots

A person hates to think about how soon winter may come, but it's reality. It is approaching quickly. With that comes many changes. One of course is beginning to wear a lot more clothing. I remember when my children were small. Every new winter season we were out purchasing snow boots, coats and snow pants. They would continue to grow out of them each year. I do enjoy experiencing the different seasons.
