Vacation for the day!

On Sunday my husband and I went up to our lake property in the Thousand Isles. We just spent the day. We went up real early and ate breakfast on the way at "Cracker Barrel" it was a really great breakfast by the way! (remind me later to tell you about this lady we saw, K?) We got to our property around 10:00. It was a beautiful day, kinda cool but sunny. We went down to the lake and stood for a while, I could just stand there looking at "our lake" forever. Then we went up to the camper. The camper... mice! Boy how I hate mice! Signs of them all over! It is so discouraging. A friend of mine told me to use peppermint oil to keep them away and I keep forgetting, I will have to get some. Glen brought a Brush Hog and mowed all around the area. We decided to eat lunch down by the lake so we carried our chairs down, it was so nice. As we were just finishing we heard someone. It was our neighbor. He was up for the night. We spent quite some time talking to him. He is very nice. We got alot of very good ideas from him and he is so willing to help! He watches the place while we are gone and checks on it. He told us he knows someone who can build us a large shed type building that we could use for living space till we build a cottage. He has one, it had sliding glass doors on the front and a window in the back. It would be big enough for a bed and table and chairs and some cupboards. We would have a little deck coming off it for a BBQ grill for cooking. I love this idea! I want to get rid of the camper and the mice! We are talking about doing it next year! Then when we build a cottage we can use it for storage (four wheelers, canoes, etc.). He also showed us a small solar pannel he has for charging the battery for his lights etc. So we might get one of those too. We got home late that night, around 9:30. It was a good day!

OK, getting back to the lady we saw at Cracker Barrel, she was tall and thin, had on black pants with very white shoes. She had very RED lipstick, and her hair, if you are old enough to remember, her hair looked like Phylis Diller's, it was really teased, went up and out, very big hair! I asked Glen "Do you think she looks in the mirror and says 'Damn I look good!'. " What do people actually think when they make themselves up like that? What do they see in the mirror? I don't know about you but I know when I don't look good!

I am reading the last book in a series by Lori Wick called "Jessie" I am liking it but it took me about 30 pages to figure out that this book started out in the past before the other books happened, then went to present time - 1884.

I am knitting Christmas gifts. Can't tell you what incase it is for you!

Most people who answered my poll go out to eat several times a week. My new poll is what chore do you get behind in the most? Mine is Laundry! It seems like I get caught up then just get behind again so fast!

My music for this week is "Life in a Northern Town" by Sugarland, Little Big Town, and Jake Owens. GREAT song!!!!! Let me know if you like it.
