So with that in mind, it was a very busy Saturday:
- Barbara took the SAT test and had to be at the test site about 7:30.
- Kristen graduated at 9 AM from High Point University; I was invited to go and really wanted to attend for her and to see/hear Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, but I had to make myself not go. I felt a little guilty, but I'll get over it soon I'm sure.
- I had to make my menu and grocery list.
- Make the grocery run which means Save-a-Lot first, then home to unload, then to Walmart to get what the first store didn't have.
- Rob worked on yard & house things and shampooed the carpets (boy were they needing it!) and who knows what else he did. :)
- Sometime after noon/1:00, we knew we'd get a call to pick Barbara up from her test.
- I made a stop at Lowe's to look for some plants. I was going to pick something out for myself for Mothers' Day plus I got a check from the university (I was not expecting that!) for being Kristen's cooperating teacher, so I ended up spending it all on flowers. I've always wanted to do that, but never done it in the 19 years we've been married!!! I had so much fun just buying pretty things for my yard and spending time with Matthew who helped me make my choices. I bought so much it filled the car and we had to run home before I could finish my grocery run at Walmart.
- Robert had to be at work at 2:00.
- Barbara was home by then, so she & I did the Walmart run, and boy did I have to rush.
- We came home, Babs and Matthew unloaded the car while Rob & I quickly changed clothes and got ready to leave for Kristen's graduation party.
- We drove an hour to Salisbury, NC, for Kristen's party. Stayed about an hour. It was very nice, and she wanted to introduce me to some of her family. She has the nicest mom and dad, and of course her hubby is a great guy too!
- We had to leave at 5:00, we'd only been there about 45-50 minutes, because we had to be back to pick up Robert from work.
- Barbara had to be at her babysitting job at 5:30, but thankfully they didn't mind to come pick her up this week (usually we take her one way and then they bring her home).
- We made it back to G'boro and Robert at 6:15.
- I should have clocked into work, but the boys and I started working on planting my flowers. We had a nice time working together. Now my front flower bed in front of the house is so pretty. The landlord should be pleased the next time he/she drives by. And for as long as we are here, I will have some pretty perennials to enjoy. I will try to take some photos later and post for my Pop who likes to landscape and do yard work. (Pop, I think I'm turning into you because I had the boys move some hostas to different places, and I found several hostas in the back that need to be split.) :) :) :)
- While we three worked up front, Rob borrowed the neighbor's tiller and worked in the backyard getting our patches tilled up for sunflowers and more.
- I found some vine on the house and it has grown up under the eaves. I started pulling away and cutting it out, when I realized it was poison ivy. I didn't think I was allergic, but came in and washed right away just in case. The way things have been with me lately, you never know. :)
So that was my Saturday. Yeah, it was a busy, but nice day!
