Busy, Busy, Busy

Love Fall!

The only thing people are talking about in our town (and three surrounding states) is the giant storm that is coming on Monday.  It's so weird because the weather today has been just amazing.  Cool and breezy with beautiful sunshine.  Even now, at almost 6:30 p.m., the sky is an eerie baby blue with pink streaks.  It's been a busy day for all of us.  Saturday means Jerry.  We were all feeling chipper, so Jerry took us for a 2 hour trail walk.  And wait for it... I walked the entire time except for the last 20 minutes.  That is a PR for me!!  (In running blogs, that means a Personal Record.)

 Later on, Chim did another walk with PW and even chased the ball in the yard with Linda for awhile.  Chim and I are completely tuckered out.

I match the blanket and the chair

                                                                           
Linda was even busier.  After about 4 hours total sleep (I woke her up 3 times to go outside during the night for emergencies), she woke up at 6:15 a.m. to start her day.  There were 3 classes to teach at the gym, then after that a smoothie party for 15 of her TKD students.  After she got home and jumped in the shower, she went right to a neighbors house for a backyard warming party.  (Remember the photo of the port-a-potty in the yard for the construction boys?  It was that ladies house)  Linda said we could not go because the woman has 2 Great Danes that probably weigh 150 pounds each.  The yard did look amazing, complete with a great fire pit for roasting marshmallows and weenies.  It made Linda wish for a fancy deck and patio too!

(Linda forgot her camera, so she found one kind of like it online)

At about 3:00, she came home and started cooking.  Since the storm might knock out our power, she cooked a whole bunch of food (including our chicken) in case we don't have the ability to cook when Frankenstorm comes.  Since the freezer then had a lot of room, she filled gallon size Ziploc baggies full of water.  It looks so funny; but if the power does go out, we have a ready made cooler!  She'll put 1/2 in the fridge and keep the rest in the freezer.  She's also making a bunch of ice cubes as back up.

No dust bunnies or dog hair anywhere!

Next up, house cleaning and laundry until just a few minutes ago.  Finally, she can rest.  Whew.  Tomorrow will be here before we know it!
