Down Weekend

The little woman is sick.  No idea what.  She has a fever and she says a headache.  So she has been just taking it easy.  It put all plans this weekend on hold.  That said.....I have managed to get everything done that I intended to do, except Costco and OMSI.  The car is cleaned out and vacuumed.  Had a lot of help there from the little man.  Got the lawn mowed for the first time of the season.
And the biggest job was dismantling the picture box and making it three boxes.  The one box was so heavy that I can't lift it.  I can only push it. When I moved it from Dave's house I had to have John get it for me.  Mike helped with it here.  The next stop I'm on my own.  So now the box is three.
I pulled out a small box for Tanya.  There were a lot of old family pictures that I thought she might like. She won't know half of them, but I bet she gets a kick out of some of the ones of a young Grandma Gayle.  And now she will have lots of her dad when he was young.  I also culled more from my pictures of her when she was younger.  Now she has proof that she milked a cow.
I always like going down that nostalgia road. Was looking at camping at the beach pictures when the raccooms were fed.  A bike ride with Doug and Geraldine.  Now that goes back a long ways when Dave and I first got together.  My bridal shower at Laura's house.  Hawaii pictures.  Wedding pictures, baby pictures, family.  I miss those who have gone on......Clyde, Little Donald, Dad, Dave, Grandma and Grandpa, etc.  I no longer feel so sad when I look at the pictures.  I have some really good memories in that box.  So Audrie's down weekend got that job done because I could sit quietly and do it while she rested.
