Today Rick and I started are day at 6:00 a.m. went out to eat at perkins, stopped at my friend Mary's and picked up the rest of our garage sale stuff up - we ended up making $85.00 for our trip to duluth. We then went to walmart to pick up a few things I got my self a sound machine for when I go to bed, Rick is sick of me using the fan from the bathroom. Now I can listen to a heartbeat, birds, rain, white noise, rain forest, thunderstorm and 4 more... we then went to Menards- got the kids a little pool and that golfball pipe game that youf ling the golf balls on a color of pipe and earn points. we also checked out the Clearance. it was great we had it all done by 10:00 a.m. or so. came home and the kids had the house picked up for us to spend the rest of the day outdoors. we ended up moving the swing back by my garden, cleaned off the porch, mowed and weed whiped, I weeded my garden.. got a lot done today, and I can feel it. Only 17 more days and we are off to duluth... Kids are very excited... I am too. We all have to write down one thing that we MUST do while we are there... so far Erica is the only one that wrote down she wants to see water falls.
