WEEKEND RECAP

There wasn't much to post about yesterday... it was a typical Saturday around here... we slept in a little, then got up and spent the day doing housework and yard work.. Dennis did the yard work and worked out in the garage some (trying to organize it!) and I did some housework/laundry, etc. Dennis ran out and got Chinese takeout for dinner, and then we turned in and watched TV. Not the most exciting day!

Today, Sunday, we slept in a bit and decided to skip church today and just get a few things done. Today was our pastor's last day @ church - our senior pastor, that is... he just got elected Bishop of the SC Synod of the Lutheran Church - and so we are losing him. To be honest, Dennis and I really did not want to deal with the "Pastor Herman's last day" situation and preferred just to stay away. There is a special service and reception for him and his family on July 19 and we plan to attend that; but we just felt like staying home today and avoiding the "last day" thing.

I have had a set of light brown wicker shelves in my garage for almost a year.. I brought them home from my mother and stepfather's beach condo to repaint and use in my house - and I have not gotten around to repainting them YET.. until today! I wiped them down, sanded them down and put the first coat of chocolate brown paint on them today. Going to finish them this week and move them into the house! The color looks great on them. Glad to FINALLY get that done.

So all in all, I guess it was a productive weekend. Gotta have those every now and then. I'd much rather have been out doing something else but I'm glad I got so much done. Now I still have to clean all the old magazines out of the coffee table and do a few more "projects" - but I got some major stuff done this weekend - I cleaned out and reorganized three closets too - so that was a major thing!

Hard to believe that a long, three-day weekend is almost over! Start of a new week. I'm off for the next couple of days - guess I'll be working a bit from home - and tackling some more of those things on my "to do" list! We took a couple pics of the dogs tonight - hopefully Dennis can send those to me soon from his computer and I'll post them when I can!!
