Stop in for a cup of coffee
So what plans do all have for today?
I got a 22 lb ham to cook for me and my younger son. The older boy went to Detroit to go to the golf club with grandma and grandpa, then hang out there for a while.
I invited my brother to come for dinner, or I will bring some to his house (I don't have room to feed all of us - too much clutter in the dining room). But I offered to cook and bring it over to his place so we can get together. This is the first easter without mom and grandma, so half our crew is now gone. I used to go to mom's and we would cook together for everyone to keep the family together on holidays. I'm trying to keep what's left of the family together on holidays... My brother and I are now "on top of the pecking order" now that mom and grandma are gone... When we are gone, our kids have to stick together and have each other's back...
Then put some gas in the old mowers that I tuned up yesterday and see if they will start.... I still haven't unpacked the new one and got it ready yet. I'm gonna see if I can get away with the "beaters" first before putting some wear and tear on the new one. My yard is hard on mowers, with the flagstone lining the creek, and all of the trees in my yard. I completely destroyed a brand new blade last year. I couldn't believe that it is bent, so I replaced it....
I wasn't happy with the lawn service, so I started doing it myself last year. Now it's done to my liking, and I don't have to watch them to make sure that they are doing things right. I keep telling them not to dump the leaves in the creek, but catch them every year... I paid for them to clean my gutters, but last year when i did it myself, the back garage gutters had weeds with roots in the gutters... How did they clean them if I have a good root system in there??? Funny, they are not cluttered up this year after I cleaned them last fall.... The owner of the lawn service insisted that his guys were cleaning the gutters when I brought it up. So now, I take care of it myself, to my liking...
Then I have a chapter to read and problems to do for my GD&T class tomorrow....
