Happy Homemaker 2024-06-17

Good morning

Last Wednesday Xavier spent the day here with grandpa (grandma was very busy in the office) as he had fever on Tuesday and couldn't go back to daycare before he was 24 hours free of fever - he was fine on Wednesday.  In the evening we went to see his baseball practice.  Anne - E and DS came with us... grandma had brought water, sandwiches, cookies, vests, toys, a diaper, wet wipes...  Anne-E was sick in the car on the way there.  Grandma had no change of clothes :(  didn't think we needed it for being gone 1,5 hours (and she is 3 not a small one anymore).  Fortunately she didn't get any on her (just a drop).  Next time grandma will think of a change of clothes.

Telework was super busy as I had 2 big things I had to finish.  A 3rd one will get done next week and all the updates in the files will get done later.. at some point.  I even started at 6:30 one morning.

Dh worked part of the week at ds' house around the pool, changing the clothesline's place, mowing, fixing pool door and mowed lawn for neighbor who hurt his knee.  He also made a 2nd hanging Christmas tree with the branches he had left.

Friday someone came to check our a/c - should work better now and the evening was spent at a friend's of dh's house chatting.

Saturday was a slow day.

Sunday we went to another town 2 hours away for wedding anniversary of dad's cousin.  Met my siblings and parents there.  Afterwards we went to dd's and had pizza in the pizza oven.  Yummy.  Got home at 9:00.

The weather

Starting tomorrow will be a heat wave for at least 3 days... hot and humid... yuck!!

Today is gray and a little humid but for now it is perfect.

Looking around the house

Changed pics on mantel for summer ones.  

Thinking and pondering

Saw my brothers Sunday and they will be coming here beginning of July to do the roof.. so we need to plan meals as they are coming with their crew and will be staying here at least 2 nights.

I need to plan a meal for the weekend we are having with friends in July.  There will be a change of plans for that weekend as we now have a supper for sil and bil's 50th anniversary .. at least we got dnephew to take Friday night instead of Saturday.  We had those dates planned for 3 months now...

Mom - saw her on Sunday and she is going down quick, will need a placement soon :(

Working on a staycation list.
