Busy time....

I like busy time.... My Dad always said,  "the more you have to do, the more you get done".... Pretty simple premise, I guess. The weather has come through and given us a few consecutive warmer, sunny days. Today the garage will get cleaned, the carved pumpkins thrown out for the deer, the dead flowers moved to the trash, and any miscellaneous Halloween decor back to the basement.  Josh is in the H.U.T. finishing up some last details- trim on the ceiling tiles and the flood light "decor" in the downstairs bath.  We need a few brackets hung in the garage to tidy up the rakes, shovels and brooms.
Bailee's birthday breakfast will be Sunday morning followed by Toy Story 3 featured in the H.U.T for the kids and those adults who haven't seen it. The guys may head out to sight in their guns.  The turkey shoot was preempted by the birthday but Papa is keeping his chin up and doing what's right.
Jeff will arrive on Wednesday when we'll celebrate Bailee's actual birthday # 4. Boy, those 4 years went fast!  The next day we're all off to Walden Place to celebrate an early Thanksgiving dinner with Grandma and all the WP families.  Will be a rude awakening for Jeff as he hasn't seen Gram in a few months.  We're just hoping she knows him....Hunting season (shotgun-deer) begins on the 20th.  This is when I hold my breath till I see the whites of their eyes (red for Lee) @ suppertime. Heather arrives on Wednesday the 24th.  Off to Jon and Lisa's for Turkey Day dinner with the family including some reminiscing, some football and a few naps!!  Black Friday will not see me in any stores... I'm done... with the exception of stockings and Santa fills those anyway ;-).  Friday night we'll celebrate Jeff's birthday in the Man Cave with some beer, some poker and some vittles.....Sat (his real 32nd birthday) we'll recuperate and Sunday they'll be motoring back to N.C.  Monday will bring jury duty for Lee..... this could be a life altering adventure...................for the lawyers and judge...I'm not sure how many times they'll like hearing "What", "Excuse me", "Could you repeat that", "did you say Nigger or Trigger?" before they let the deaf man go home..   So, all in all, the next 3 weeks will be busy and fun and should introduce some interesting and memorable stories to our repertoire... Stay tuned!
