Dick painted everything in sight - all decks and porches and even the dock! Chip and Dylan washed and scrubbed and disinfected (not really) the playhouse to prepare for all of the little girl cousins who will be coming on Saturday or before.
Laurie and I made brownies for the Official Brownie Competition this Saturday - she used a heritage recipe from Mother for her famous frosted brownies. I made brownies from a recipe titled Knock You Naked Brownies. We ate some, but we kept our clothes on. In the first unofficial taste test, Dylan liked his Mommy's better than mine.
I went to Glen's and ordered little sandwiches for our evening meal on Saturday. We did that last year too, and it was a big hit. Bought some stuff for Mother, and went to visit her. We cleaned out her sock drawer - thrills a minute! She's fine.
The Gillespies went to the Bounce Arena with Shelly, Autumn and Brooke. They had a great time. We met them for dinner at the Mongolian Barbecue. The kids were all flushed and had wet hair from bouncing for an hour and a half! Dylan said that Mommy was a wimp because she didn't go on the Space Bounce-a-tron. (I don't know, either.)
Adam met us at M.B. just for a drink and a visit and plans were made for a campfire tonight! More plans were made for Shelly, Autumn and Brooke to come over in the morning to play and maybe have hot dogs for lunch.
