Good morning
Such a busy week and weekend. DS went to Toronto for 2 nights for work, so dh picked up grandkids last Monday after daycare and their mom picked them at 7:30. Tuesday was in-town work. DH got his new solar glasses Thursday (should pick up the new 'regular' ones this week). Friday, DH & DS picked up 46 bags of concrete which DS needed for the weekend (his FIL was starting to do some work so they can put up their pool). Then DS & grandkids came for supper and left at 8:30 (ddil had a happy hour in town with old work place). DH also worked on my hanging Christmas tree (pic below)
Saturday, we left at 6:15 to go to dd's (2 hour ride) so dh could help with their putting up a pergola for their summer kitchen. SIL's parents were there to help and 2 friends of his that work in construction. We left at 1:00 pm for my parent's house (another 2 hour ride). We got to restaurant with them at 5:45 for my brother's 50th bday. It was good but a bit $$, we were 38 (it was the maximum they had place for). A nice evening, but we got our food starting at 8:30. We left there at 11:00. Spent the night at my parent's house. No time for cleaning up but I left with 2 set of plastic drawers ... now to clean them out and throw away what is no good. Every thing that leaves their house is good... now we'll see what I keep here ;)
Sunday was breakfast at sis's house (they couldn't come to restaurant last night as they had a show to attend with their children) at 7:30. We left at 9:15 to go back to dd's for another bit of helping out. We left there after supper around 6:15. See pics below.

Next weekend they will be putting up ds's pool.. I will not be going (I can't help anyways), but I might have grandchildren (depends if dil's dad is bringing his 5 year old daughter and if her sis is there with her 3 year old) - if the children are there I will not have them but otherwise I might. Thinking I will prep some stuff IN CASE I have to feed a few people (cook ham and ground for sandwiches, buy lettuce for chicken sandwiches (I have the chicken cooked and cubed in the freezer), cook hard-boiled eggs for egg sandwiches. Cook pasta for a pasta salad, and make some cupcakes.... just in case.
There will be some garage sales in the village, will try to go see that if it's nice out.
