Well the family visitors will be soon be here.  My brother, his girlfriend, my sister, her hubby & 2 kids will be here on Thursday & then my hubby's brother & his 2 kids will be here on Saturday.  All are staying through the 4th of July.  We are so excited!!

With that all the things around the house that we've been putting off are glaring at us for attention.  As well as projects that we already had scheduled that need to be completed. 

For example when we bought this house one of our favorites features is that we have a built in pool.  It has provided our family & friends many good times till about 2 yrs ago when we just decided not to open it.  The weather that year here in Minnesota was not really turning into summer.  It was not usual & it seemed to rain a whole LOT!!  Then last year it was evident we needed to replace the liner. The pool is actually 30 years old & pretty cumberson to maintain.  So we met with contractors & got bids to have it redone.  We ended up putting the project on hold till this year.  Oh how I have missed the pool.  OK so now here we are as of a few weeks ago we had bulldozers & cement trucks all over our yard.  YEAH!! Our pool is open for the season but we still have all the landscaping to do.  So outside it's been a mess!! 

My mom who was living with us & our daughter moved out. So now we are rearranging rooms.  Cleaning out space we forgot  we had.  (Not really - I was just trying to - I am the family pack rat) My mom is great at this so her & our daughter went on a clean out crusade all in the name of a yard sale.  So we recently had the yard sale of the summer. 

Have I mentioned my house is 80 years old?  Well with that every year we contemplate tearing it down or fixing it up.  Each year we decide to just fix it up & this year is no different.

There you have it.  My summer so far.  I did manage to get in the pool 2 times now & both times it rained but oh it was nice.  My hubby & I went out last night & quick had to run home for a minute.  We found all 3 of our kids & friends swimming.  It's worth the mess!!

Hubby informs me my break is over & if I want to go to the Classic Car Show I better get a move on.  He can be a taskmaster but he also knows how to get me motivated.  I hear there are 11,000 classic cars at the show this year.

Have a super summer weekend!! God Bless!!
