What a crazy week! There was something out-of-the-ordinary happening every evening this past week. It was wonderful! The constant go caught up with me last night, however, and I must’ve fallen asleep within seconds of my head hitting the pillow. I must’ve slept hard, because I was raring to go at 4:30 this morning. I’ll get these weekend routines down soon!
Today was special because we got to celebrate my Grandma Aune’s birthday. All of the Aune granddaughters, my dad, our hubbies, and the babies went to visit with Gram and Gramp. They LOVE seeing the babies, and I don’t think they mind the rest of us too much, either. 🙂 Of course, our time with them is always special, as they have been such an important part of our lives.
After the celebrating wrapped up, it was time for Bill and I to get the house in order. Our dryer’s heating element went out last weekend, and after weighing out our options, we decided we’d probably be best off to get a more efficient washer / dryer set. So, the laundry piled up all week long (with a head start from the loads that weren’t finished last weekend… and the pile’s still growing). We decided that we could at least get the old machines out of the way so that the new ones can get right to work when they arrive this week. The old ones went to share the remainder of their days in the appliance section of “Shopper’s City”. And yes, I had to take a picture, because it’s just kind of a sad sight to see all of those tired out appliances… and well, because I take random pictures sometimes.
After the dump, it was time for a little more frantic cleaning… then off to pick up our house guest from Virginia. We’ve got a teacher from Germany staying with us for the next 10 days. She will go to Virginia school with Bill each day to meet up with the other teacher in their group and the 18 students who made the journey to Northern MN! We are hoping for nice weather so we can get Incari (I’m sure that’s not spelled correctly) out on the lake.
Now I’m off to bed to try to catch up on my magazines before my eyes refuse to stay open.
