I will start by wishing a Happy Birthday to Autmn’s mom Jaime and to my cousin Allen! Hope you both had a great day and are looking forward to a happy year!
I got up this morning early and got gas in the Buick then headed to West Alexander. Kelly and I had a LIST!!! We spent all morning and afternoon until 4:30pm cleaning. We chased dust bunnies from the ceilings and corners, cleaned out and reorganized cupboards, swept the couches and chairs and all the floors. We even did the laundry room (while keeping multiple loads of laundry going) and the kitchen and bathroom. The only time we took a break was a short few minutes for mac and cheese for lunch. We did get most of the ‘heavy’ stuff on her list done, but the list is as long as the national debt!
If things go well I plan to go back down for a last minute freshen-up for the house. But we even talked Chase into using Magic Erasers on the entry doors and light switches, and Matt climbed up and pulled everything off a high shelf in the kitchen. And typical for me, I didn’t take even one picture! Her friends are helping her decorate and set up ahead of time. Right now the weather looks good for Saturday.
I left Kelly’s at about 4:35pm in the pouring rain. It poured the entire trip home and there were so many trucks! There is construction (of COURSE there is!) on Route I-70 so I sat for a while right before the Route 51 exit. But made it home, have a load of laundry going, and watching it still rain! Tomorrow I must cut the grass! But it was a good day, with safe trips spending time with family. Peyton and Logan went to the State Fair with their 4-H troop and will be back on Wednesday.

Quote:
TOMORROW August 15th is:
National Relaxation Day; National Lemon Meringue Pie Day; V-J Day – Europe; National Leathercraft Day.
RELAX is not on the list for tomorrow. I’ll catch up to that in September! Have some pie and enjoy your day. God bless…
