Thursday

The weekend is fast approaching and I am so ready to get out of the city again. Jim and I have gotten into the pattern of his stopping by on Friday after he gets off work loading my suitcase in the car and my spending the weekend at his place. This Friday happens to be his granddaughters 5th Birthday so we will go to his house to leave M&M and the luggage and then drive into town for the party.

The garage project at Jim's is still in progress, half of the roofing is complete and almost all of the siding is done. The outside of the garage will be completed this Saturday, leaving only the inside work the wiring, walls, ceiling, cabinets and doors. So maybe about another month of the OFA (old farts association) laboring to complete this years project.

Then it is Party time again. The bed and breakfast we've planned and the trip to Arbor Lodge (where Arbor Day was born). At least one dressup event at the Orpheum Theater. This should take us up to Halloween at least when we plan to have a big party for he grandkids with a Harry Potter/wizard of Oz theme. Even the trees will be in costume with faces. Dr Fred made a PVC body for me to accessorize as a witch, and we will have a bonfire with cauldrons full of treats for the kids and yes I am getting a fog machine. With eerie music playing and dancing in the garage decorated with spider webs.
