We just got home from the lake this evening.  We had a good 2 days and 2 nights.  It was Hot though and when Great Aunt is there she doesn't run the air much.  She's colder than we younguns are!  But especially us with all the extra insulation on our bones!  But we were outside a lot.  Setting on the deck, playing games, quilting, chatting, driving each other nuts......you know, the stuff families do!

Next week we plan to go again, and I need to at least get the deck ready to paint, if not painted too.  And spray the weeds in the driveway.  Not only weeds, but Columbines are coming up all over the drive way!  And yes, they are one of my favorite flowers, but they need to stay where they belong! 

We got there Wednesday evening, Todo came the next morning and it was raining, so we all went to Wally World.....Hate that store!  It's just a bunch of cheep junk, but you know what?  when you're poor like us you can't afford to shop at Neiman Marcus! It is aggravating to get a skirt that only lasts a couple months and has holes in it already because the fabric is rotting!   

I did most of the cooking and dishes, that didn't bother me as I love to cook, but doing the dishes, I poured sweat!  The water was hot and it was hot anyway and I was just dripping!  But we had a good time.  The boys love going and think  Grandma Aunt is the greatest!  That's what they call her!

We didn't go out on the lake this time, but we did go for a  walk and it made me realize how much I need to be walking every day!  And working out!  I've got to get busy!  I have a wedding to attend in Dec.  And I would like to look better than I do now!  Maybe I should go on the raw foods diet I did when we lived out west!  I felt so good  and lost a lot of weight!  Fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds.  Nothing cooked, no meat, dairy, sweets!  Boy is it hard to do though!

I picked horticulture beans this evening!  I got 4 pt!  There's still a lot of beans on the plants yet.  I need to pick green beans again tomorrow.  And I'm hoping to go pick more blueberries the first part of next week!  Berylac will go with me, he loves it! 

Todo had to go to work tonight and he's delivering to Cleveland Ohio tomorrow!  So he won't be home till afternoon.  But has the rest of the weekend off then. 

Such is the life of a Hobbit in the Shire this time of year!
