Parade

I can't believe I haven't written anything for a whole week. Let's start with the parade last Saturday.......

It was a lot of fun. Since this was my first time going to a St.Patrick Day Parade, I was very pleased. There were lots of bag pipes playing. There were lots of dogs walking too. They would come up to everyone to be petted. All kinds of dogs. They were advertising Bark in the Park. Just about everyone in the parade gave out beads and candy too. I got 4 strands of beads. The kids were more interested in the candy. The weather was clear but COLD. The wind was blowing very hard so it seemed even colder. To have had 80 degrees during the week, it seemed strange. The whole parade lasted a whole hour and like I said, it was fun.

During this past week, I went for my treatments 3 times. Each time it felt better and better. Yesterday, my back didn't even hurt at all. Of course, I'm doing things I probably shouldn't do either. But since it feels better, I think I can lift things. So I'll have to be careful, won't I?

Yesterday, Saturday, we all got up early and went to a couple of attic sales. The first one was at a church. It had started on Friday all day, so we didn't think they'd have too much left. Boy, was I wrong. They had lots of stuff. But most of it was priced too high, that's why they had so much left. I did get me a pair of earrings for $1.00 and a book. I also bought a pocketbook to carry on the plane when I go to Germany in May. I usually carry a black tote bag thing, but it doesn't close, just stays open. Hopefully I'll be able to carry just as much stuff in it. Anyway, we went to another group sale off Park Road. They had lots of clothes for little girls so Leigh bought some for Payton. Really cute ones too. They also had grocery items, like cake mixes, toothpaste, mustard and other things. I bought a cake mix and baked it when we got home. I also bought 2 puzzles for the kids, 1 for Payton and 1 for RyLee. I would have bought more, but since I hadn't planned on going 'shopping' I didn't have much cash. Leigh didn't either, but found a $20 in her purse later. I guess that was a good thing we didn't buy another persons junk. We have enough of our own. hahahahaha

After we got home, we fixed breakfast and ate outside, it was a beautiful day. After that, I washed the dishes and baked the cake and washed clothes. Then I took a quick nap. The kids were supposed to nap too, but I later learned they didn't. So when I woke up, the kids were eating lunch. So I fixed my sandwich and went outside to eat. Leigh had been working hard in the yard, cutting grass, so she stopped and fixed her a sandwich. I read for a while, then got sleepy again. Hahahahahaha So I took another nap. I woke up at almost 7:30 and Leigh was still working outside and the kids were still playing outside. I decided to fixed them something for supper so they could eat and then take a bath and go to bed. Remember they didn't take a nap. They were just having a great time playing in the warm weather. We ate outside, while Leigh finished up some things in the carport. Next was bath time then bed! About 10:00 I came out of my room to get me a piece of cake, hehehheehe, and saw Payton asleep on the sofa while Leigh was watching TV. Leigh said that Payton fell out of the bed twice. She must have still been playing hard.....in her sleep. I just hope they sleep later this morning than they did on Saturday morning.

OK, that's about all there is right now. I'm sure there will be something else happening today that I can tell you about. Everyone have a great week this week.
