Well this is late in the day for me! Hope everyone had a nice weekend, it wasn't the greatest weather wise, well unless you are a duck, and good for you being able to read.

I had a different adventure on Saturday for me, I was babysitting. Friends of ours little grandson needed someone to look after him so his Daddy could go golfing with all the men for the day. We had a very nice quiet afternoon, not like my own grandchildren, who are everywhere, this little cutey was very content to just relax in my arms. And his Daddy was able to have a nice day out with the men and bang around some golf balls.

My Donkey informed me on Friday evening that we are hosting a pool party this up and coming weekend, fingers crossed for nice weather. I think he really wants to show off all his hard work outside, which is completely awesome and he deserves to show it off. Will be a fun time with friends and family. And did I tell you my greatest friend is home for the weekend, it has been so long since we have been together. Actually since their wedding last year, so it is an added bonus that she is here this weekend. She is here on conferences all week, and was able to make it a bit longer of a trip. We really only get two days together, but will still be great.

So back to my pool party, the things I have to get done this week before hand, I think I am going to need some extra long days to get everything done that I will want completed before Saturday. And top of the list will be the grass cutting. Never did get it all done last week, Donkey never fixed the weed eater thing, so the outside edges of the yard could probably be bailed up and sold to the local cows for bedding. It is going to be a really big job now this week to get it all down, really think it should be you know who doing it and not me.

Are you noticing the changes in the trees, it is happening, they are changing colors and falling. A beautiful time of year except the end result. You know, snow, winter and the cold. I am already shivering just thinking about the cold. And who do you think is going to get stuck shoveling the white gold this year? Well we shall see about that, and you can laugh at me later when I am complaining about doing it.

Our hot tub room is complete, well no screen, that will be next year, but it is built, the furniture is in place and we had our first beer sitting there yesterday afternoon in the rain. Dry we were, it was wonderful, thanks Donkey for all the hard work. We were going to do the screening this year but I think I will just put up some bamboo blinds for now and see how it goes. Note to self - go and get bamboo blinds this week! Even nice Ikea sheers I think would look nice, Donkey doesn't like that idea, but what does he know and it isn't like he really gets a choice he just does the labor.

I finished my rantings about my Friday to my neighbor when she came over for drinks Friday night, was very nice to get it all off my chest, don't know how she puts up with me sometimes. But three bottles of wine later and no dinner will do that to a girl. Nope I am wrong Donkey did bring home some dinner after hockey, well we still had way too much to drink and we solved all the world's problems yet again. You can thank us later.

So off to the kitchen I go and create something for dinner. It is later in the day for me to be working on my posting but got caught up in some new writing I am doing with my daughter and you really lose track of time.

Have a Happy Day everyone and look forward to seeing lots of my friends and family this weekend. Just hope I can remember most of it!

love and hugs
