Getting some R&R

Last Thursday husband and I spent the day running errands and then visiting the daughter and grandkids. Before enjoying a nice lunch at Cracker Barrel, the girls played on their new swing set. This was a joint gift from the grandparents and parents for Dancer Girl's upcoming fifth birthday. As you can see, both girls are having a very good time swinging in the summertime.
I think they really liked the present and it will give them plenty of opportunities to get rid of some of that excess energy they seem to have (and will help mom quite a bit).

Before we left to go eat, the girls took some time to smell the flowers.

Some of my blogging friends just participated in a Bloggy Tour of Homes. It was so interesting to see how some others live and blog. I was telling one of these friends about my blogging space and even though I didn't participate, I wanted to show everyone what I saw while I was sitting at my computer blogging last night. I don't have the nerve to show the rest of the mess I see when I'm blogging.

(I have been trying to download my final picture but I swear Blogger is getting more retarded [that's southern speak for ignert] every day. Oh, well, I'm going to try one more time. Maybe Blogger will be kinder to me now.)

This being a Saturday, husband and I are going to take some much-needed R&R today. It has rained the past several days, so the grass is wet and can't be mowed. It's too cool to swim, so I guess we will have to find something else to do. We spent all our money until the beginning of next month when we went to visit daughter and grandkids last Thursday, so I guess we will just have to hang around around the house reading, watching TV, or getting on each other's nerves.

I'm think I'm going to blog.

Addendum: I had to add the following joke just sent to me by a friend. I apologize in advance to all my blond friends.

Two blond girls were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it. Why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"

The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed. "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick."
