Saturday = Chore Day

Saturday's are our household chore day. Some Saturdays the chores aren't too bad, other Saturdays, they're a bitch!

Today was one of those bitch days....LOL

On the chore board was yard work and cleaning the garage. Connor got busy on the mowing while Fred and I did the weeding. I also got those damn pumpkin seeds planted that I've been wanting to plant for a month. The yard looks wonderful! the only good side effect of all this rain.

Once the yard work was done, we decided to tackle the garage....oh boy...what fun!

We went through stuff, reorganized things, pitched a butt load of stuff into the back of Fred's pickup for a dump trip and then completely swept and vacumned the whole area. It looks great! I even washed the small set of stairs going into the house and the door needed a good washing also. I was surprised that it didn't take us nearly as long as I though it was going to take.

Since I worked from home yesterday, I took advantage by getting most of our laundry done and I completely wiped down and cleaned all of the kitchen countertops.

I'm happy to report that all of our goals for our house for 2008 have been completed. Fred is estatic that I don't have any more jobs for him to do around here......well, at least not for the foreseeable future.

I'm planning on painting the trim around our new patio door tomorrow....one of my gifts to Fred for Father's Day. Speaking of Father's Day. I got to see my Dad yesterday. Too bad I put his Father's Day cards in the mail on Monday...what a dodo..I kept thinking it was next week that he was coming...oh well, he'll get them when he goes back to Las Vegas.

He came into town to meet up with some of his buddies for a Canadian fishing trip. He left early this morning but will be back next Saturday and then he's in town for another week, so we'll be able to spend time together then. We're going to take him to Pizza Ranch, since he's ever heard of it before. One must experience Pizza Ranch once in their lifetime....LOL
