Oops, I Almost Forgot...

This morning got busy quickly with getting Rory ready for school and making some shirts for some friends.  All done before 8:30.  Now I realize I may not be making a post everyday but I am going to try. My first week of work is in the books and it was good.  I think I even got a few things accomplished.  I will enjoy this week end off but I will also be ready to return on Monday!

Who Knew $5.00 Could Go So Far!

After my second day at working I picked Rory up from school aka Pre-K and Daycare and we had a mission to accomplish...to find something that started with “A”.  Show and tell today is something that starts with “A”. Now the obvious item would be an apple but I was thinking more out of the box like an acorn or an axe.  So we went to Dollar Tree to find something.  Along with finding our “A” item we also found a few things to do.  Who knew that $5.00 would buy so much entertainment for Rory!  We bought a game like precision, a jumping frog game, a police kit, ring pops and some skittles.  No, she did not get to eat both sugary items yet!  We got home and began to play!  Oh and the “A” item we picked out was a fake apple.  We had a huge felt acorn and a rubber alligator along with the apple but in the end Rory chose the apple.  It is her show and tell!

Back To Work I Go!

I have officially joined the working party again.  It has been seven years and two months since I last worked for someone.  I am happy to say for the first time in 41 years, wow that sounds like a lot of time, that I am not working retail.  I am not saying anything against working retail I just wanted to try  something that was not retail.  My new job is far from it.  I am working at a place that is very inspirational and always has a blessing.  Day one is in the books; now on to day two!

St. Augustine Adventure

Rory and I took a little adventure to St. Augustine. Rory loves carousels and there is an antique one in St Augustine at Davenport Park.  I have not been to that carousel since my kids were little but I sure am glad I took Rory.  Davenport park has a great playground with lots of things to play on and even when it is crowded there seems to be room to play.  Rory had so much fun and was all smiles and laughter while she played. The carousel only costs a dollar to ride and so we rode it a couple of times then played at the park some more.  We then went to the old town and walked around checking out some shops.  We had lunch and walked along the water; looking for fish.  The water was choppy from the wind so we did not see fish but did see a lot of sea foam.  We then went back to the park to play and ride the carousel one more time.  It was a fun day!

Grocery Shopping With Rory

our morning started with saying bye to Rory’s mom and dad.  They were going on a cruise which means it is Rory and Gramma’s week to have fun along with work and school.  We had a couple of hours before we had to leave to go to church and we also needed to go grocery shopping after church so Rory looked through the circular from the Grocery store and I made a list of the things she said we needed.  It was a pretty good list she came up with and after church we went to Winn Dixie to shop. We chose that store because it had miniature carts for kids and she really wanted to shop her list.  She filled her cart and mine.  She was a good shopper and only got two extra things that were not on her list.  She had so much fun shopping and even emptied her cart at the register.  It was so cute!

Week 1 Of College Football Is In The Books!

College Football has begun and there are a whole lot of happy people!  There is something about College Football that is fun to watch.  The players excelling, the bands playing, the crowds cheering and the rivalry.  Pro football just does not have the same feeling.  My teams results were interesting.  NAU and Florida won, WooHoo!  Michigan, NIU and Navy lost, a little surprising!  With Week One in the books it is on to Week Two!  Let’s go teams!

Friday Night Fun

Rory and I had fun playing outside last night.  The temperature outside was still in the 90s but the humidity was not that bad and there was a breeze so it was a nice night to be outside. We started playing with chalk on the driveway then Rory decided she wanted to ride her bike.  She really rides well now and can very fast.  She gets riding so fast that I cannot keep up with her as I walk.  She really enjoyed her bike.  Rory decided she wanted to drive her car and sometimes she is a crazy driver.  We started to draw with chalk some more but the Rory’s Mom and Dad came home with dinner, a little late.  We had fun playing outside.
