Good Morning Kids! Well, our previous house got through it's inspection with flying colors. Still dealing with paperwork from our former state. Life works at half the pace compared to here, which is VERY frustrating...

Hi Kids! Had to go pick up a few groceries, and I drove past the first COVID-19 outdoor testing site I've seen in our community. I saw a staff of at least 3 or 4 people wearing PPE, but no cars were in front of it, so no line (at least, not yet...)

As busymom says good Saturday morning kids! Nice warm day in Chicago today. We plan on going to the store and getting the deals, and then prepping the driveway for the reseal coming up soon.
We most likely will not do the reseal today although.
Have a great Saturday! oakheart

Good Morning Kids! We had plenty of rain last night. It's already a bit steamy outside. Had a bit of excitement already today. Our neighbor's toddler snuck out of the house when his mom was in the shower. I spotted him, and hung out with him (no answer when I knocked on the door), until his poor mom came outside, soaking wet, looking for him. But, all's well that ends well.

busymom Good job on spotting and hanging out with the toddler. The outcome could have been much different. I slept in a bit. Grass is mowed now I am relaxing for minutes.

Family legend has it that once Mom gave me a bath got me all ready for bed and then hopped into the tub. When she got out they found me outside playing in the sand box. Glad you were able to take care of him and keep him close by for Mom.

Hello my super-fab Saturday peeps. No pool today (coach is out of town AND a pipe broke at the pool), so I ran this morning. Did some errands, including picking up fish for DH and scallops for myself tonight. It's overcast, so I did about an hour of weeding before lunch. Just made some fresh blueberry lemonade.

Looks like I will be in the market for a new dishwasher. When I went to empty mine this morning the things that sprays from the top of the machine was laying in the basket. Last night we had a good time. DD and family stopped by to pick up some peaches and brought pizza. DGD's birthday is next week, or as she says My Day. She was allowed to open a couple of presents last night since we aren't have the usual big family get together. She was so excited, My Day for My Day. Then she wouldn't play with her toy it had to go back into the gift bag. "I take home for My Day". There was no way that was being left at Grandma's house. She will be 3.

It's been a long day, and I'm off to bed. I rarely sleep well on a Sunday night, but I need to. It's going to be a busy week.

Wow! That must've been some storm last night. (I slept through it, which surprises me.) The neighbor's patio umbrella flew off the patio, & hooked on top of her fence, so DH helped her get it down before he left for work this morning.

Good Morning Kids! The legal paperwork is finally completed for our former state. (At least for now.) The sale on our house won't be completed for another month or so, so I get a little breather inbetween. I celebrated by sleeping in this morning.

Well, my freezer has been acting up for quite awhile, so I was expecting it to die. That wasn't what stopped working today. It was the fridge portion that died, & the freezer is still running full steam. It's too old to repair, so I'm going shopping.

Good Morning Kids! You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to purchase a new fridge right now. With the trade war with China, apparently the big appliance companies in the US aren't getting the parts they need on time. Combine that with COVID-19, and you have to wait for most appliance orders until October or November at the earliest, unless you want to take a chance on a no-name brand. After doing a lot of calling around, and stopping in at a couple of places, I finally chose an older style, but new fridge. Obviously, I'm annoyed. I'd hoped, once the sale of the house went through, to buy new appliances for my kitchen, but I'm not going to do it now, with availability so low. Still, I need to keep the milk & eggs cool, so I had to settle. We've decided, once we've got a bit of money to work with, we'll put this new fridge in the basement, to store extra food. I hate wasting money, but you do what you've gotta do...

Yes, you do what has to be done. I have heard that lots of things are in short supply. Like lumber as well as appliances.
I am hoping none of my appliances give out.

Seriously, if you even think any of your appliances are starting to misbehave, place your order for a new one NOW. I'm thankful we never got rid of the mini fridge DD used in college. After plugging it in, to make sure it was still working, we're using it right now to store milk & eggs.

The guy at my go to appliance store said we can order it but who knows when it will arrive. Then he totally ticked me off when he suggested that I should just replace all my appliances and go to stainless steel rather than white. Apparently then are getting some stainless steel. No I am not replacing my 2 year old fridge and 2 year old range.

Good Morning Kids! I've got a stack of clothes to iron in some name tags, then I'll be dropping them off at the nursing home for my relative. Hope none of you are near that hurricane. Stay safe!
