Merry Go Round
Youmgest's Girl Scout troop visited Fantasy Island tonight, spending the last bit of their cookie sale money. Everyone had a great time and the park was just the right size for the girls.
Tomorrow, the girls and I are off to Jenkinsons. We'll be hanging with my stepmom, sis in law, and my ten month old nephew. I hear the weather will be fabulous.
Tilt-A-Whirl, here I come!

A sorting kind of day
The girls and I spent a few hours at Mom's house today. She has quite a few boxes in her basement that she's been wanting to sort through and organize. We planned on eating lunch (subs) at her place. Well, Youngest can't eat subs from the local sub shop due to her food allergies. So, I planned on making Youngest her own submarine sandwich. When we left for Mom's place, I stopped at Genuardis and picked up some of the makings for her sandwich. At lunchtime, I made her sub and watched as she took the first bite. Thank you Lord - she loved it!
Sorting the boxes at Mom's was a little more difficult to do than I thought. It wasn't the work - that part was easy. It was the opening of my Nana and Pop's stuff that caused me to cry several times. Pop's Pennsylvania Railroad keys and assorted paperwork, a photo and newspaper article about my great-grandfather, Nana's little crystal pieces, stuff that my dad had brought home for my Mom. Oy - I'm getting all verklempt just thinking about it again.
We discarded quite a few pieces and I will be making multiple trips to the local thrift shops. They will be thrilled to get all this stuff and Mom is thrilled that her basement is coming back to order. As for me, well, I am happy to be able to help and I enjoy looking at pieces I remember from my childhood.
I really do.

Remember me??
Helloooooooooo People!
I know, it's been forever since I last posted. Between working as much as possible and the girls' activities, I haven't had the time or energy to blog. We have also opened our pool, built a patio using the lumber from our old demolished deck, moved the trampoline, finished up with some small projects, hosted Buncos, and even had my ten month old nephew spend a night with us. That was fun!
Check out my Flickr page for some nice pictures.
I had an hour break while working today so I went home for lunch. I switched the pool filter on and started to skim the pool. I saw what I thought was a big clump of weeds and skimmed it off the top of the water. Imagine my shock and complete horror when I realized that it wasn't leaves but a dead squirrel! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Of course, my first reaction was to toss the icky thing right over the fence. But, I ended up triple bagging it and tossing it into the garbage. ::shudder:: But, it made me remember a really funny website: Things We Found Dead In Our Pool Check it out for yourselves - the guy has a chart of all the dead things he has fished out of his pool. Perhaps I am twisted but I think it's absolutely hysterical.
Well - I am off to bed. I've got work in the morning!
