Start of Summer



For me, this weekend was the start of Summer. I went to the Kempton Hills Garage Sale and a few other ones as well with Kerri and her two kids. Sydney had gotten sick on Thursday and had to stay home. She was suppose to have a play date with her friend Josie Sat afternoon and then on Sunday as a backup plan. Neither one worked out. She was sick, running fever and throwing up most of the weekend. No need to spread that around. She’s still sick today. Anyway, the start of Garage Sale Season…I mean Summer. Gotta love it! Got a few things, but nothing of any significance. An older cabinet to house Sydney’s toys and games in the family room. I need to find some chairs. We had a table given to us, and I want to refinish it. But I need chairs to go with it.

We took it easy on Sunday. Hung out, had breakfast and actually sat down at the table to eat it together. Sydney got cranky and sleepy, so we put her down for a nap with Grandma and went to Costco and Fred’s to get some groceries. Then we came home, played catch a little in the front yard. Sydney liked that. She loves to play ball, be outside and play with animals and kids. She’s so cute. Of course I am bias. Then we took off for Home Depot/the Mall. I went to Home Depot to obsess over paint chips & tile, while Mike took Sydney to the Mall to walk around and look at Excalibur Sports. When we returned home, there was a Moose taking a rest in our yard by the Wishing well. It was probably about 2 years old and still had its velvet on his antlers. I bravely snuck to the neighbors yard to try and get some good pictures of it. Then I tried to get some pictures of Sydney with it in the background. There was a car between us and the Moose. Later we watched it from our bedroom window with Pat. It stayed around for about 5 hours. I went for a walk around 8:00 and had to be careful coming and going.
