Yes, we are still alive. We found out just a few days ago that WS's other 2 brothers and their wives will be up for the 4th of July weekend, so we have been busy getting prepared. Saturday I actually got some planting done between pet-sitting duties and rain showers. Then the call came in and the whole itinerary changed.
I, of course, did some house cleaning that I should have done a few months ago, but kept putting off. During the spring, I had washed all the upstairs windows except for one - the one behind the cats' dining room table. That got cleaned as did other places that I have been ignoring, If I had more time, there are some walls that desperately need scrubbed, but that is just something that won't get done.
I already had on my list for the weekend to scrub the birdroom floor and that got done last night. Tonight, the one day that it isn't supposed to rain, the dogs will be getting baths. I have been brushing them every day anyway because they are shedding out their winter hair. But they do have a bit of a doggy odor, so they will get a bit of freshening.
I know, I know, they aren't coming to inspect our house for cleanliness, they are coming to see us (and J&S), but these are the opportunities I take to force myself to get stuff done that I would normally make up excuse after excuse not to do.
So, between preparations for the visitors, entertaining the visitors and giving my elbow/wrist as much rest as I can from the computer keyboard (a bit of tendonitis), I probably won't blog much (hey, there's a change - not) - nor will I visit others' blogs as often.
If I don't get back here for a while, have a safe and fun 4th of July weekend!
How great is that?! That all the brothers will be together is awesome. You gals should have a great time, too. Have a great and rowdy weekend!
