Tuesday, June 9, 2020 - Busy, Busy, Day 

I was awake minutes before 5:30.  It was already 72 outside, but it's supposed to be another 90F day, before the weather a big change to cool weather tomorrow, expecting mid-70 temperatures as our high.  I will not complain about that, especially since there is no significant rain in the forecast.  Rain is fine, its the storms that are concerning.

After going through my morning routine, I noticed Dean was up moving around earlier than normal.  I was reminded he was leaving for Brett's to help him work on his small cabin.  He's trying to get everything done before his brother and family arrive in a few weeks, as that is where they will be sleeping.  I quickly made our shakes, and it was only a short time later he was out the door and will be gone all day.

Laundry was at the top of my list today, but there were many other things on it too.  I started the first load, washed dishes, and made a few phone calls.  First to the Cherokee Health Center to leave a message for my doctor with her nurse.  (Wed:  I didn't get a call back, so hopefully I'll get one later this morning)

I had a nice visit with my son Marc as he was driving to the hardware store here in Oswego to purchase things he needs for whatever project he is currently working on.  I had planned to get Jaxson tomorrow afternoon so he could spend the night with us.  Kamron and I made a date to do some shopping on Thursday, so my plan was to take him home when I picked her up.  Unbeknowest to him, Jen made dentist appointments Thursday morning, so now I will pick her up at the dentist office.  When I take her home Thursday evening, Jaxson will come home with me to spend the night and most of the day Friday.  It all works out with a few adjustments!

Dean and I purchased an extended warranty on our RV a short time before our one year warranty ran out.  I could not remember when it ended so I contacted Wholesale Warranties this morning to find out when it was - July 1, 2020?  I didn't realize it was that soon!  We need to decide if we want to extend it or not.  I know we've used it enough it has paid for itself, plus some.  With it now 7 years old, we have the option to extend it another 4 years at what seems to be a resonable price.  I will talk to Dean tonight and we'll decide. 

I'm going to try a different recipe for dinner this evening that my sister gave me - Tamale Pie.  I laid hamburger out around noon to thaw.  I'm anxious to try it out.

I drove to our property to check on the trees that my friend Peggy gave me a couple of weeks ago.  As I pulled around the corner from the highway I noticed my yucca plant was blooming.

Tomorrow my friends Peggy and Linda made a date to meet up again.  They will meet me at our lot.  I may have mentioned they both are great gardeners and I am hoping to get a few tips from them on ideas of things to plant on our property.  I visited with Peggy but was unable to reach Linda.  (I received a note late in the day that her phone had not been working, but she will be there.)  I enjoy these two ladies and our time together.

I sent some information about Treasure Lake RV Resort to Matt/Megan and Jarred listing the various things available to do since some of the top attractions may not be open, or limit us with their restrictions (especially for small children).  

I had pretty much finished all of the things I needed to do by 2, so I called my granddaughter Haleigh to see if she wanted to come out and we would play cards.  Growing up my mom and Aunt Lil used to play Nerts - a card game where several can play together - as long as there is room at the table.  She said sure, so we spent the next 2.5+ hours playing.  Our scores were close, with each of us being up, then down.  I finally won when Papa Dean returned with only 40pts between us.  It was fun and I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with her.

For Mother's Day she gave me a cute present - a block of wood painted, with a heart and words "Best Grandma Ever".  It has a little metal double heart on the top, that will hold a picture.  Not too long ago I looked through all of the pictures of Haleigh in Google photos.  I discovered that not only am I not in hardly any pictures, but there are only a few with us together - and, they are several years old.  I guess that's because I'm the one who takes most of the pictures.  I told her we need to be sure and have someone take pictures of us on her graduation day, next weekend, so I can have one printed to put in the stand.   

Dean returned around 6.  Haleigh headed home and I started our dinner.  It was about 7 when we ate.  I thought it was pretty good and Dean thought it was okay.  It may not be something we have often, but once in awhile would be okay.

Looking over the car - what a beautiful blue sky.

As we are leaving the park.

After our dinner, we drove to our property.  It's supposed to be really windy tomorrow, so in case we need to sit inside for awhile I swept the floor while Dean put a few things away.  He has a rolling table he uses often.  He cleaned the top off for me, so I would have a place to set the cookies I'm making, and we set up a couple of chairs inside as well.  I'll take my chair down there with me when I go tomorrow.  

By the time we returned it was 8:30 or later.  We were both tired after working all day.  It was a great day.....any day you can get much accomplished and spend time with a granddaughter is a GREAT day! 

Thanks again for following along on our blog.  I love hearing from you, so don't be shy in commenting!
