Here Comes the Sun!!!

It has finally been pretty nice outside. The sun has been shining the last couple of days and the weather has been in the high 50's. Not quite as warm as down there, but I will take it. Managed to get my plants cut down for the winter and yesterday Ieven mowed the lawn. Needed to get outside. Seems like we have been shut up in this house with the nasty weather we have had lately.
Friday night we went to dinner at the Blind Fish. The last place we had dinner before Frank and Christen left for the Cayman's. That was a fun night, wasn't it? Rick and I ususally end up just splitting a dinnner. By the time we have eaten all the delicious bread and appetizers, we are too full for dinner. Saturday night we went over to Jim & Denise's. Her and her daughter were having a candle party so the girls hung out while the guys played poker. Rick didn't win much, but he didn't lose much either. Kind of broke even.
Yesterday we pretty much stuck around the house. Rick went to the pheasant place in Grand Blanc for awhile. I have been in the cleaning/throw away mood. Trying to get the house ready for the Holidays...... Coming up quick.... Want to get the tropical bathroom painted here soon so I will be working on that.
The kitty we have is getting alot bigger. The plan was to have a barn cat, but he hasn't seemed to make it out there yet. The softer side of Rick is coming out and so the cat spends alot of time in the house. Still have all his bedding out in the garage and he runs around the yard and in and out of the house. Have this heated pad that he likes to lay on. It is fun having him around. Rick named him "Butch". Oh, well, could be worse. ha!ha! He follows Rick around like a little puppy. When he goes to get the mail, he walks down there with him.
Well, you all have a great day........
I love you all so very much,
Mom
