I'm always amazed at how fast time can fly by. It's been a busy summer at the farm. In May our daughter and 2 kids moved back in with us. Although it's been busy, it's been fun seeing the world through their eyes too. The joy in the simple stuff that we, as adults, often miss.
In June we purchased a play set. Not just a slide and swings for our grandkids. LOL This one has 2 swings, trapeze (we switch this with a baby swing), rope ladder, rock wall, upper deck, picnic table, sandbox (we decided against putting sand in it because of all the cats we have), wave slide and a tunnel slide. Yeah, we pretty much bought the works. Putting it together was something else. We had my family over on a Saturday and got the base put together. Then Hubby and I finished it off a little at a time over the next couple weeks. It was fun to watch Jack and Maggie notice new things on it. Oh, I forgot the telescope! The kids really like that because they can look out over the open field. It's been great having somewhere for them to play when they get stir crazy inside. Jack is still learning how to swing himself and Maggie's a little daredevil so we have to keep an eye on her. Faith and Lilly have been over and they all play well together on it.
Hubby also got a new truck this summer. A blue 2009 GMC Sierra 1500. It has chrome bumpers and we think the peacock (now nicknamed Din-Din) has fallen in love with his own image. Every day when I get home the dumb bird is standing at one of the bumpers just admiring himself. Crazy bird!
I got my Mom, Dad, both sisters and one of my Aunts to go see Public Enemies with me on opening day! What a great movie! I wanted to make it back to see it again but things just didn't work out. It was interesting to watch because with this movie I saw so much of the making online and when I went to Crown Point. How they would be in a bank that was filmed in Madison Wisconsin and then step out the door and the streets would be from filming in Columbus, Wisconsin. Unless you followed the filming you wouldn't know this but I did watch for those things. Can't wait to get the DVD (I heard 12/15/09 release date) so Hubby can see it too. It's one I think he'll like. Now the wait is on for Alice in Wonderland....March 2010 seems a long way off.....but worth the wait if publicity has any truth to it.
Other than that it's just been the same old, same old...work, eat sleep....
Until next post.....
