Ballgame

Last Saturday Kaitlin came over and we went out shopping. Garden center shopping. She was a really good sport about it. Then we went to lunch and went back home. Cory got home from work and we got ready to go out that night. We stopped by John and Laura's to visit with them. Then we went to Ben and Sherry's house. We went to the Mud Hens game. After the game we went to Pizza Papolis to eat. Very good pizza. We had a great time.
Sunday Cory and I went on our garden crawl to see what was on clearance. I bought my boxwood bushed for 4.00 a pc and came home to plant them. Boy I sure does make a big difference in the back yard. I cant wait to start ripping up part of the back yard to make a patio. It will look so nice.
I got around and went over to Jason's house so I could watch Brady. I was so excited to see Brady! Kaitlin and Jason had a softball game and I said I would babysit. I decided to take Brady to the game to watch them. He was so good. I cant believe what a good boy he is. I cant wait to babysit again.
I just remembered about Shipshewanna. I don't know why I forgot about it but I did. Now I am starting to think of a date to go. Going to see if anyone wants to go.

Day off blues

Last Sunday Cory and I went on our usual clearance plant shopping. I didn't find anything I needed. I did buy 4 english dwarf boxwoods a 4.00 a piece. We took Justin back to Chris's house and saw Kaitlin's room. My brother Jason called and asked Kaitlin if she wanted to be on his softball league. So she is playing softball on Sunday nights with him. I did plant my boxwoods that night and we grilled out. We grilled salmon. It was really good.
I took Monday off to spend time with Kaitlin. We got up really early and went to Jackson to see my mom and dad. Mom gave me some flowers and I started getting a migraine. It continued to get worse. We left and I got something to eat and took my migraine medicine and we drove home. It makes me really tired. We were supposed to go see my brother and Brady but Jason was really tired. I just could not get motivated I was so tired. So Kaitlin went back to Chris's and I relaxed and went to bed early. I was really bummed! I wanted to do so much on my day off and it was ruined by a migraine.

Air show

On Saturday we had the air show which featured the Blue Angels. Our company always schedules our company picnic the same day. Which is really nice since we can watch the air show from our hanger and they provide the food and beverages. It was a nice cool day, not like the hot 90 degree days of past air shows. We had the biggest turn out ever this year. No one knows why but I think the weather has a lot to do with it. Plus I am sure people are staying close to home and doing small and inexpensive things like a air show vs a huge vacation. Cory, Kaitlin and I went. Also got tickets for Melissa (cousin) and our niece Jordon, nephew Justin and nephew Kyle. We had a very nice time. The traffic coming in to the air show was pretty bad. I was told people were in line for 2 1/2 hrs. We were going to leave before the Blue Angels but didn't make it. So we stayed and watched them. I was so bummed only because of I knew the traffic getting out of there was going to be terrible so I wanted to leave before the show. Also wanted to stop by John and Laura's. So we waited 2 plus hrs getting out of there after the show. Ugh. We had Justin with us so when we finally got home we were so exhausted that we all just wanted to go to bed.

Kaitlin moved home!

I am very excited to announce that my daughter has moved back to Michigan. She was living in Florida for a few years with her best friend. Her friend decided to move back home so Kaitlin was all by herself and she was lonely. Plus she couldn't afford to live by herself. She was supposed to come home Friday but Kaitlin surprised me by showing up at my house Tuesday night. I was so shocked. But very happy she is back.
Brady is sitting up now! I just cant believe the growth spurt he has had. Wow. I am make a date to see him soon. I need to spend some quality time with him.

I had a cold that would not go away. I started coughing and felt it in my chest. I never get chest colds or cough when I am sick. I let it go for 7 days and finally went to the doctors and found out it was acute bronchitis. I am finally feeling better now. It is sure taking a long time for this to go away.
We went out with our friends Bobby and Leslie to the bowling alley. I have not been bowling since.....I don't know when. We had so much fun. We went out to eat first then bowling. The bowling alley closes early in the summer (weird) so we decided we would go play putt putt golf. We went on the go carts first then played putt putt. It was so fun! After that we went to a pizza place and had pizza and breadstix. It was a very nice night.
Went to out yacht club regatta over the weekend also and it was a lot of fun. Everyone was there. Laura, Stephanie and I had a great time.
I went on my Sunday shopping trip to Lowe's to check out the bargains. I got a honeysuckle bush for 2.00. It is very fragrant. I am going to get a trellis to have it climb on. Right now I need boxwood bushes but I refuse to pay full cost for them. So I have been waiting for them to go on sale. I can wait them out...........

Retirement party

I went to my mom's retirement party yesterday in Jackson. It was a really nice party they had for her. A lot of people came to say goodbye to her. It was really sad for me too as I grew up at that hospital and all the people there. It was where she worked all my life. It was a really big day for my mom to say goodbye to all the people she has known and goodbye to a place where she considered her 2nd home. A chapter closed and now another one has opened. Congratulation's on your retirement. Enjoy it!!

Happy Retirement day

Today is my mom's last day at work. She is retiring today. Boy is she excited. They are throwing her a retirement party at work today for her last day. So I am making my way to Jackson to make a appearance at her party. I want to be there for her last day. She has been there as long as I can remember. Now the only big decision she will have is what to do each day. Boy I cant wait till I can retire. Off to Jackson I go.

4th of July BBQ

Went to a BBQ yesterday at Uncle Johns and Aunt Beths. It was a great turnout. The food was great. I made a strawberry jello cake with cool whip frosting. I decorated it with with the flag. I used blueberrys and strawberrys. It turned out so cute. Had a great time at the bbq! Stayed a lot longer than I expected! Luckily I dont work today as it is my holiday. I worked Friday so I got today off. It's our turn to have the bbq next month. Oh boy.

Sold

I sold my old Iphone Thursday just under 180.00. I was really pleased. I was a lot more than I thought I would get. I was so anxious for the auction to get over with as I needed it to sell so I could afford to buy another one. I was hoping the buyer would pay same day so I could get my new iphone the same day but they paid today. I woke up bright and early today and Cory and I dropped Parker off at the groomers and we made our way to Ann Arbor to the Apple store. They were so busy there. I finally got my new phone today. I looks just like the old one. But it is a lot lighter. I sent out my old phone to the buyer today. After we got my phone we went to lunch at Bennigans then I went straight to work. It was so slow at work. Caught up and so much as I had the time. Had to work all night and it just dragged. Tomorrow I have to make dessert to take to the cookout we are going to Sunday. We bring dessert and corn on the cob.

Ebay

I am selling my IPhone on Ebay right now. I have bought and sold on Ebay over the years so I am comfortable using them. I want to buy the new Apple IPhone they just came out with. It's 199.00. It is a 3 day auction and yesterday (the 2nd day of the auction) there was still no bids on it. I really started to worry. But this morning with only 5hrs left on my auction 3 people bid on my phone. Right now its selling at 105.00. Which is good as you can get a old IPhone for 99.00. So I only have 4hrs left now and I will be happy with the bid I have. Whatever else I get will be bonus. I have never tried Craigs list and I am a little nervous about trying it. Maybe next time I will try it. So I am sitting here watching my auction and refreshing it constantly. lol Then Saturday I will go buy my new IPhone.
