Want to talk about a big tease? The man called me today to tell me that the gun I ordered had come in. I was so excited and told him I would be right there. Nope, he said his company had its own policy and you couldn't buy more than 1 gun a week. Is that the silliest thing you've ever heard of? So I have to wait until Monday the 24th since I just bought one. On top of everything else, their policy does not include weekends even though they are open Saturday and Sunday. GRRR

That's okay, I like the anticipation when it is something good!

That’s great that the man came back and cleaned up :thumb:
I thought it was awfully nice of him. I only met him when I paid him. He was the one who I made sign a handwritten receipt twice because I gave him cash. He wanted to email a receipt.

I do love the roof but he quoted me $1825 on new gutters. I am not sure what they cost but I will get a couple of quotes before I decide. Like everything else, it has probably gone up.

    Weird. Never heard that one!

    I did not really want to go out to eat again tonight but when I called to check on her, she seemed a little depressed so she needs some 1on1 time with me. I'll make her feel better. Or at least make her laugh. View attachment 998499

    Oh sorry. It was my aunt I called. And I am not worried anymore. She didn't answer the phone so I just went down there. I told her we were going out to eat and in no time at all, she was ready. We had a nice time and she seemed fine tonight.

    Good morning lurkers :wub:

    Awww, I’m so glad you were able to cheer your Aunt up, Rat2. That is awesome the guy came out and picked up a bunch more staples too! Sorry about the gun.

    Honestly, I don’t think he’s having much fun this season with soccer. Yep, they are in a more difficult division (div A) due to being in the top of their division (div B) last year. What the boys fail to realize is that the few games they tied 0-0 is amazing. They held their own with some of these more experienced teams but to them it’s still not a win. It’s heartbreaking.

    I hope everyone has a great day!! You’ll find me outside soaking up the sun. Beautiful day ahead. Later we are taking my cousin’s sons to mini golf and out for pizza. Hopefully it will give my Aunt and Uncle some time for themselves.

    It is a cloudy morning and I am moving sort of slow. Enjoyed my coffee and now I need to get motivated.

    Is mini golf the same thing as PuttPutt? I did that once down at the beach and had fun. I hope you have a great time Sara. I'm sure you will.

    Already the middle of the week. Whew! Hope everyone has a great day. :wub:

    Good morning everyone :wub:

    I did not do much my 2 days off, mowed the lawn and picked up a new wood picnic table for the back yard. Back to work today, will find out if I got my 3 week of vacation when I get there.

    Hope everyone has a great day :cool:

    Good afternoon Rat2, Joey and Dale :wub:

    Yep, what Joey said. One of our local
    Bowling alleys has a course. We figured if weather wasn’t good we could do bowling instead. But luck is on our side today :)

    Fingers crossed Joey!!

    I don’t mind washing and folding, its the putting away that I don’t like. End ups in a neat pile on a chair and I dig through that for the week. Mother’s day was the first time I’d been golfing since I was a kid. I don’t mind it.

    Folding is what I don’t like. I’ve got a rack in the laundry room that I hang things on, sometimes they stay there a little too long ;)

    Good evening Dale :)

    Glad you had a good dinner :thumb:

    The boys had a blast at mini golf and then we came back to my house so they could swim for a bit before pizza. They asked if they could come for a sleepover :shock: I’m not sure I’m quite ready for that. :lol:

    Looks like rain the next two days. Guess I will work on cleaning my closet out. Maybe my mini vacation in August will be better weather wise ;) Dh wants to go for a road trip Friday and show kiddo where he grew up, since he’s already familiar with all my old haunts.

    Hope everyone had a nice day!!

    Wow your son has never had a sleep over?! Isn’t he almost 13?

    Maybe you won’t get rain but if you do maybe it’ll help clear the air.
    We have a chance Friday and Saturday and I’ve got a headache so maybe :unsure:
