A Sunday Dinner first

This past Sunday we celebrate my Grandpa's 79th birthday. Tradition holds, the birthday person gets to order what ever they want to eat for their birthday. So Grandpa ordered BBQ rabbit. Yes, you read this right rabbit. Let me tell you, my appetite going into this was a little different. Grandma on the other hand was thinking ahead and made a little bit of chicken so if we did not like the rabbit, we could have chicken. Well I braved it and ate the rabbit and...well needless to say it is not my favorite, but it was good. To me it kind of tasted like roast beef, but REALLY tough roat beef. Let's just say, it will be awhile till I eat that again. All in all it was a great day and I am happy to be with Grandpa on his birthday. Happy Birthday Grandpa!!



Sunday also brought naps, laughs and stories. We also planned the menu for Florida and signed up for who was taking what meat from what freezer and who was in charge of making the grocery list for down there. After that I was ready to come home and pack until I saw what a mess my shorts were, and well out came the iron again.



So in 9 days I will be in florida and in 10 days I will be walking the beach. YES! Look out beach here I come! I am so ready.



Until Next Tuesday...Have a grand week.

Cleaning, Hunting, and Fixing

That is what I have been doing for the past few nights when I get home from work. I am slowly trying to clean(spring clean that is) because when I normally do this, I will be in Florida. I figure that if I get the brunt of it done now then it won't be to bad when I get back, and hopefully I will be able to bring the nice weather back so that we all can open windows and get the fresh air...Awe the thought of fresh spring air!

Hunting is another thing that I have been doing a lot of lately. I have been on the hunt for my summer clothes so that I can begin to pack. I have been very successful so far, but I am still on the hunt for my sunglasses. What I did with them, I don't know. I must find them.... I do believe that I have found the majority of my things for the trip.

Fixing is the last thing that I have been doing. Monday morning when I got up the house was 63 degrees, a little cold for me. So I called my Dad at work and he helped me fix the furnace over the phone. I felt very successful and fell that I will be able to fix it myself in the near future. I guess i must say I fell like a furnace expert...well kind of.

That's about it for this week. There will be probably one more post before Vacation.. Till then...
