The time has just been flying by. Libby and I went to lunch on Friday with a few of my old Valspar co-workers. We went to the new headquarters in downtown Minneapolis. Wow, are they fancy. Nothing like the old digs on Washington Ave. (which I still have a fondness for). They have a cafeteria, and even a store. It was a lot of fun seeing people and catching up.
We met Michelle and Malia at the Children's Museum that evening. We had almost the whole place to ourselves! Libby's favorite place is the store, and both girls could work the register or push a cart around, and there were no other kids in the place! I think it was Libby's idea of heaven :) It was such a nice evening and I am so glad we met there. The top three pics are taken at the Children's Museum. Notice the "Libby Lean" even when no one else is in the pic-sigh.
My brother had his annual bbq on Saturday night. He adores Libby and she adores him. Eric and Libby have this joke about Merlie the Dog not being able to do things, like drive or open doors. When asked "why not" the punch line is: "No thumbs". Keith laughed so hard, he was crying.
We had dinner at India House on Sunday evening with Colleen, Doug and Jai. It was so delicious, we vowed we would all be back. The girls spent most of the time standing at the window waving at people walking by. We were stuffed, but felt obligated to get ice cream at Grand Old Creamery. They are awaiting word on travel to get their little boy, Sheng. He is absolutely adorable.
Have been busy getting ready for our yard sale. I cannot believe how much stuff we have put together from the attic and the garage, and the thing is, there could be more if we had the time. Leeanne, Ron and Ellie stopped by to drop off their things for the sale. We had a nice visit and were fortunate to have a neighbor girl and her friend drop over to play with the girls. The picture at the bottom is Ellie in the swing after a big under push from Eric.
I am trying to get excited for Saturday. Part of me really is, and the other part just wants it over now. I want all of that stuff just gone. I hope we make some nice ching, ching from it-heck, maybe enough to cover our I800A application! If not, it will feel better to have made a dent. Next it will be on to painting and repairing. What have I set us up for?
We also had fun on Friday. I hope your yard sale goes well. The weather looks like it will cooperate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a doll -- painted toes and everything! We just had a neighborhood garage sale and we spent nearly as much as we made -- the danger of having other people's stuff up for sale just when you clear out a touch of space. Good luck!
