Busy week, bogged down with end of school tensions. Trying to help keep the kids head above water AND on track. Sometimes, no matter how you plan, kids put off doing what they need to do all the same.
Had a crazy Saturday. Jan asked me to go Garage Saleing with her--so I did. She is very organized so she had a list of 11 previewed Garage Sales. She used her GPS unit to find each. Primarily I was just going along for fun--but ended up buying more than she did ;-) So many good deals for Hunter! Garage Sale #2 had child's electronic keyboard (in good shape) At sale #3 we ended up at one of Jeanine and Jean's former teacher's house-the Coelius'. Mrs. Coelius has taught in the Manchester district for a billion years. She is retiring so she was selling a lot of her teaching things (books, puzzles, hand puppets). Hunter inherited a few Coelius boy things as well. My best find was the $1 Fisher Price toddler bike. It looked well loved. I think Hunter will enjoy it! It can even live outside without much problem. At Garage Sale # 7 (north of Dexter) I looked up from the display table in the garage and there was Alice Leisinger. I "hehed" her and we laughed and hugged and shared stories. (She has new born feral kittens in her window well! I'm going over to see them tomorrow!) After goodbyes and more travels,
I ended up with a sinus headache so after 5 hours of Garage Saleing, Jan and I headed home. I was taking a nap when my friend, Laura called and asked if I'd like to go to the Pinckney "Arts and Eats" festival. I met her at crossroads outside Dexter and drove up together from there. It was an okay festival. Most of the "art" was yard art for gardens or cottages. The trend in the jewelry seemed to be some kind of fused glass. ? (lots of that) Though pretty, now isn't the time to be buying new jewelry. We fused around a bit, ate garbage food and headed back home at 6pm when the festival ended. (Guess they turn in early there)
I'm headed into to my Dad's this morning. He invited a helpful bank attendant to dinner today. (Pause to think about that) and she accepted. We are going to the Dearborn Inn. I really didn't think she'd accept, told Gpa--"Perhaps you can get her a gift certificate" but no, he wanted her to come so--Miriam will be joining us for dinner.
Gpa has been delighted that the Red Wings have been winning. Go Wings!
Muffin got me out of bed at 5:30 this morning so I cleaned out the car, killed a few ants, am running the laundry--and hope to transplant some plants before showering and driving into Detroit. Ah, Sundays!
Later Gators
