Catching up again

I had a very long post written out with photos planned to be inserted but I can't get the darn pictures out of my camera. I'll have to hook everything up to the other computer tomorrow and see if that one will work. I *love* tefhnology some days....

The Boy's team lost both of their All-Star games last weekend, but he played well and had fun. He has a game tomorrow when it's supposed to be 90 degrees out. It's days like that that I wish he'd play Ice Hockey instead!

Younger daughter had a game tonight and she played very well. She was more focused on the game than usual - we think it's because she was the "pitcher" where all the action takes place (it's coach-pitch softball, but the coach only pitches so she did the fielding .

I went to Home Depot today to buy topsoil and manure (I can't believe I actually paid money for ...manure). I actually had two employees offer to load the bags for me - one onto my cart and the other into my car, so all I had to do is get it out of the car. The Husband is presently useless as far as manual labor goes since he had a nasty growth removed from his middle finger last week and the dermatologist wants him to do nothing until it heals completely. And I actually heard her say it so I can't very well call him a liar.

I got two of the garden beds planted - one to go (pics are stuck in the camera), and the soil I bought is for a flower bed by the shed - because I need yet another project to work on, in addition to painting chairs, re-planting trees that died over the winter, painting the shed doors and the front door, re-stacking the bricks around the front tree that I knocked over with the tractor, fixing the dog-fence, replacing the siding that blew off the summer kitchen, and-and-and.... Oh, and school gets out next week :o(
