Well, Kelly and I didn’t let any grass grow under our feel again today! After breakfast we did two loads of laundry, updated our lists, and started brainstorming for – although it’s still early! – The Stahlstown Flax Festival in September. We are in charge of the kids’ activities and story table, and we made up our mind last year to add a few fun activities to the ones we already had.
I took a few minutes to clean up downstairs – yesterday’s ‘workshop’ for the centerpieces made a total mess of the floors so I swept and cleaned up. I feel better now!
Kelly wanted to make salt dough starfish for their ocean VBS theme, so while she was doing that I made the pepperoni biscuit balls for the LR party. We finished up about 1pm and headed out to do our never-ending list of chores and supplies. We ended up at the mall so we had Chick-Fil-A for lunch before we did any shopping. I took a few minutes to walk around Barbara Ann’s Country Store, and am pleased to say that I did NOT spend any money!
Kelly was looking for hand soap at Bath and Body Works and was excited to see all their hand soaps were on sale for $3.95. So she got what she needed for her kitchen and bathroom.
From there we went BACK to the Dollar Tree and grabbed a few things for our extended projects, then to Ollies next door. She bought a hilarious book about complete instructions on being a pirate! Trust me it was really funny. The checkout clerk ask her what a pirate’s favorite letter was and Kelly said, ‘ARRRR’. The clerk said you would think that, but it’s really the ‘C’ (sea – get it???). Everyone’s a comic these days.
Our Frosty Shack had a fundraiser for Hempfield Band so we stopped there for before supper treats. But then, we didn’t want supper! We came home and finished several projects (including updating our lists!) and then went over to Five Below. We found a few things we wanted there, then went to Walmart — where immediately it poured down rain! While we were waiting for it to let up, we bumped into a long-time sweet friend Ashly and her new baby boy, Obie! How fun that was to meet him in person and talk to Ashly.
So now we are home, time for supper, and neither of us are hungry! We have a few small items to finish up tomorrow morning before she heads home and I head to work! It’s been fun having her here, visiting just us two, brainstorming and working on projects, and sharing meals. And I did not pull even one weed!
My blessing today was meeting baby Obie!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW July 18th is:
Insurance Nerd Day; National Sour Candy Day; Perfect Family Day; National VCR Day; World Listening Day; Get to Know Your Customers Day; National Tropical Fruit Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Check your List day. But we sure did enough of that! Tomorrow — I will try to listen, and be perfect. God bless…
