Spent the better part of my day completing the installation of my clothesline. I uninstalled a section of the porch railing and mostly installed the new swinging gate which works brilliantly and allows me to access the line easily. I then hung clothes!! Next I put together the trellis arch and gate for the front entry. I needed to put it in place and plan the fence and landscaping that will go with it ultimately. Once I know exactly what is what i will level and secure it all properly. For now, it is exactly what I wanted.
My son-in-law, Roger asked if I could take 2 of the 4 boys overnight as he and Rae-Anne wanted to celebrate their anniversary. 17th, that makes me officially feel older. Lukas was going to the other grands and Gene had just been here so Will and Sawyer it was. I had placed my first PC Express order to be picked up at 5 so I grabbed them on the way. Will was quite stressed to learn Roger had sent along marinated chicken for me to throw in the oven (Sawyer was disconcerted at the concept of throwing things in the oven) as Nana always has a shrimp ring for them. His faith in Nana was valid as I had taken the last one I had out of the freezer.
They were so helpful bringing in and double checking all the groceries. This was imperative as there had been a mix up with them not using the $130 of PC Points I had as requested. I had decided to treat myself to a sodastream on sale and new pool pals with that so ended up going into the store after all but the problem was solved quickly and I got 20000 bonus points for the trouble.
The boys played in the pool for a bit and then came in to shower, get jammies on and have a lovely dinner together. They do play well together. It has been so long since they have been inside here that Will seemed in awe of the changes to what he remembered and Sawyer lit up and said oh I remember my little guitar..
They went to bed listening to Disney Stories on Audible while I watched Miss Virginia. I may have said this on repeat but I love movies based on true stories. She overcame her fear to take away fear and so much more for others. Inspiring. (the young man who plays her son is Young Randall in This Is Us)
All in all a very good day.
