Almost Forgot

Even with being better at putting something in here on a more regular basis, I almost forgot to add anything today. It took to this afternoon and seeing the RM had posted, that I figured I should stay in practice of writing here. not that I have much to share.

My niece came by today to pick up a large bag of maternity clothes. The Wife had come across several outfits of hers back when ours were enroute. She made some kind of decision as to what the niece may like and left them here for her to pick up. The Niece called this morning and came by. It was nice to see her and her Beau, and be able to tell them both grats on the coming baby. Not to take away from that, but it was REALLY nice that The Wife actually got rid of something we have no need for anymore. I say that like it is a bad thing... and in ways it is. I do know that with all the Great Plague Scare going on, that the Wife has gone through quite a few things and we have several bags/boxes of stuff to take to Goodwill/Savers when they re-open. Maybe even enough for two trips. It's still just a "drop in the bucket" compared to whole picture.

The front lawn is coming along. Been working on turning the soil, spreading Bermuda (summer grass), and covering with top soil. It is being done in sections, but the early areas are starting to sprout. Hopefully by mid-summer it will all be grown in and looking decent. Then will have to fogure out what to do about the back yard. That is a mess. Half is a garden that the FIL had that went fallow when he became ill. After that, no one took care of it so the grass grew rampantly, died, grew, etc over the years (at least 4-5 years). I have tried using the weed-eater but go through so much line as it is jungle thick. Can't use the mower, because I am not sure what may be underneath what I can't see (rocks, sticks, who knows what). Going to think some more on that one.

The youngest Son has his follow-up from surgery on Monday. They will be casting his arm again for another 4-6 weeks. At least removing the cast and the pins will be done in office. They are the pins that have part sitting outside the skin, so can be pulled out when done. It'll be nice for him to have the use of two arms again, and be more helpful around the house. He uses it as an excuse most of the time now.

My buddy texted earlier today, and it looks like we are going to get together at his place and have a couple beers this evening. That's almost the only time I get out of the house right now, unless the Wife needs me to run something for her, or a store run.
