Good evening, All!
Asking that you please keep Moldy's father, and Moldy and her family in your prayers this week...
It's been a busy weekend here; I've been on the run with the grandkids - a basketball game, cheer competition, and then a wrestling meet for both grandsons. So glad to be home and plopped in a comfy chair instead of sitting on hard wooden bleachers - oh, the things I find to complain about; shame on me!
Got a call from one of my cousins when we were on the way home from the game last night; he was planning to come out and see if he could call in some coyotes. Haven't heard back from him, sure hope he was able to get a few! There is a hide auction nearby next month; I'm betting that the coyote pelts are nice this year, wonder what they will bring???
Hit a few stores while I was out and about yesterday and today; stocked up on 18# of bulk oatmeal for Hubby - he'll vacuum seal all but a months' worth tomorrow. Added a total of 8 more boxes of 'Senior' multivitamins at CVS during their buy one, get one 50% off sale; had assorted scanner coupons for $3/$12, $4/$15 etc... vitamin purchases, so the price was reasonable and we are now set for over a year. Also picked up a few 'alphabet' vitamins - C, B12, etc.. - at buy one/get one free while I was there. Found a couple more clearenced coats @ $9 each for future use for the grandsons, plus pajamas on clearance for $5/pair as well, so we are set for next winter (and possibly the one after, if older grandson doesn't grow too much lol!) That was about all I had time to do, especially with the short people tagging along.
I did get outside in the yard this afternoon after I got home from the wrestling meet to drive my new-to-me Mule again; the ground was dry enough that I was able to drive around 2 of our 3 fields. Looks like the beekeeper who has hives on our place has lost the bees from three of his hives, but the bees at the other ones were busy doing housekeeping chores.
Co-worker Buddy was bored so he just drove out to visit and dropped off my Sunday papers, but Hubby hasn't taken the papers apart to find his puzzles, so I haven't had a chance to check out the ads and coupons for this week as yet. I did dig through the coupon insert stash on the table to find the Steak 'n Shake coupon flyer and gave it to CW Buddy before he left, just in case we need (NEED!!) a milkshake run tomorrow though....
It's going to be another busy week here - work Mon/Wed/Sat/Sun, Tue/Thu pool with neighbor, need to see about setting up private swim lessons for the grandsons while I'm there as wrestling is done for the season. Cheer competition 2 hours from home one direction starting Friday morning and a basketball game Friday evening a bit over an hour from home in the other direction, so I'll be spending half the day on the road, it seems. I've got a large bag of khaki pants to carry to the clothing pantry at work sitting by the kitchen door, plus I told Hubby I would carry at least 2 boxes of the grandsons outgrown toys and clothes to either the thrift store or my cousin's house this week. Now all I need to do is figure out where to fit in laundry and a couple of naps, and I'll have it made
Take care all; have a blessed week!
