ahh the weekend is here again !! time is flying by, Summer has come to an end again. Where DOES the time go ?

 

I went down to use the T-Zone machine again yesterday and since it was a week since I started going we took my measurements again and I have lost 10.5 inches in total since last Thursday ! Whoot !! 

 

Wendell and I are joining Viv  and Shelton this evening for supper we are going to a salad bar for a nice quiet evening of chit chat and relaxation ! Amanda has offered to take Brooke for us while we are out .  

 

Karla goes for her interview today , Keeping fingers crossed for her that she will get a call to go to work at the Group home in Tyne valley so she won’t have to far to travel. 

 

Brooke and I went shopping last evening, she got a new doll and I got a book called The Shack, looks like it will be a great read.

 

Brooke has started with this new laugh,  its so cute, I’m going to try to catch it on video and I’ll get Wendell to post it. 

She sure is entertaining LOL

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ! 

 

take care and thanks for stopping by !

Energy ?

Well today I seemed to have had a little burst of energy. 

this morning I managed to do a half mile on the treadmill. and then Amanda came in for a visit. 

shortly there after Karla and Brooke arrived down. 

Brooke had a little accident one day last week.  She was visiting her Auntie Verna with her Nanna and she was standing by the cubboards and doing a little dance,, well she lost her footing and fell hitting her mouth on a cubboard door,, so now her left front tooth looks like its 2 little vampire teeth, did a complete upside down V in the center of the tooth. 

Ahh and so the bumps and bangs begin, there will be many more of those before she’s all grown up. her poor Nanna felt so bad , Karla said the poor woman came home with Brooke and looked like she was going to be sick she felt so bad about it.  But it was no one’s fault , those things will happen.  

 

Anyhoo after Karla left for work I pulled out the other playpen for Brooke to play in while I did some cleaning,, and I cleared out my kitchen and dining room.  the dinningroom is now all opened up , I pushed the table up to a wall so that the middle of the room is bare floor, this will give Brooke a little more “roaming room” to get around. and I took the table in the kitchen that is normally used as just a catch all and cleared it all off and moved it out from the corner so we can actually use it as a table to eat at if we want to. 

that sounds pretty easy eh?  but there was a lot of junk to move around in the progress to make room for the tables and stuff to stash away that used to be in those spots. not to mention the floors looked horribly dirty after all that moving stuff around so those needed to be cleaned as well. 

 

So just have to clean up the entry way and I’ll have the downstairs all rearranged and cleaned .. AGAIN.. LOL

 

With all this damp weather we’ve been getting we are being over run with earwigs and fruit flies !! thankfully no earwigs in the house but the fruit flies are a bit annoying !! 

Bobbie and Faye I will post some pictures soon of the new hair cut and the new set up for the kitchen and dining room. 

 

Have a wonderful week folks !!  I will be enjoying my beautiful grandbaby for the week. Take care and thanks for stopping by !
