Memorial Day Weekend

Well, it's been a busy and fun-filled weekend so far. Friday night was spent at Julie and Greg's for a cookout. Julie makes some darn good cheesy potatoes.
Saturday, we had a garage sale at my mom and dad's. Most of the money was made by Chris who sold everything from Weebles to tools. Lauren sold a little lemonade and made $1.75! I'm pretty sure that after you calculate the overhead, she may have lost some money. Or Chris actually did. We made a total of $45. Well, $35 after we bought lunch. Jay, Jen and Sharkboy came by as well. Jen and I sat in the sun for a little bit, and I got a wonderful tan line from my socks. The horrible part is that I wasn't wearing no-shows, which is usually what I wear. So now when I wear my no-shows there is a nice space of fish-belly white leg between my sock and my tan. Jon spent most of the day fixing my parents' computer in the basement. And Dad was fishing all day.
Today, Jon and worked outside for a bit. Jon repaired a loose board on the bottom step of the deck while I researched the best way for us to clean, powerwash and treat the deck. Then we cleared out some landscaping we had around a tree in the side yard. We just decided to throw down a rubber mulch mat that we can mow over and around. We lugged our swing out and sat for awhile. I decided that I would like to move and Jon reminded me of our 5 year plan. It's just a little too noisy where we are at. And we don't need such a large yard. It's a bear to take care of, so we tend to neglect it. Tonight we will be going back over to my parents' for a cookout/firepit.
Tomorrow brings mystery. No plans except for Jon going to his buddy's house at about noon. Maybe I'll clear out some of my DVR queue.
