Wednesday Evening

Time sure does fly! I wish I had the time to blog more regularly. Our company left on April 1st. It was such a joy having Dennis' sister Jeannie here. The boys REALLY loved her, too! The house is so empty since she left! Last weekend was garage sale weekend. We didn't have much left so we didn't do quite as well as we did last month. We did about $170 in 2 days. More importantly, we got rid of a bunch of STUFF. Saturday, after we closed, I boxed up everything that wasn't going back into the house and took it over to Goodwill. It was nice to get it all out of the house!

Sunday was outside project day. I spent the day cutting and fitting together PVC pipe to run a line from the pool pump to the sewer clean out in the front yard. This allows us to backwash the pool directly into the sewer without having to use a pesky rubber backwash hose. It's so easy to use! Dennis helped me glue everything together once I got it all cut and fitted.

Tuesday evening, I went to the pool store to get the replacement pop-up heads for the in-floor cleaning system. We had 3 of them break over the winter. I also picked up some debris bags for the skimmer basket. The pool ran all night with all of the in-floor cleaners running and it was crystal clear this morning. Now it just needs to warm up and we'll be ready to get in!

This coming weekend, we've decided to join some friends out at McDowell Mountain Regional Park. Brandon and Jeremy are already there. They're going to let us know how full the park is tomorrow. If it's filling up, we may take the motor home out and snag a spot, then come back home to go to work Friday. After work Friday, we'll head back out for the weekend. If the park is looking pretty empty, we'll just wait until Friday. It's such a nice park and there aren't many weekends left where the weather is fit go to out there.

Dennis' first week at his temp job is almost over. It's not very cranial work. He would definitely prefer something more thought provoking and challenging. But I guess it'll do for now while he waits for an answer on the other opportunities still in the works. Continue to cross your fingers for him!

Have a great week and weekend!
