It has been a busy weekend with my parents visitng. Although I had cleaned my house furiously a couple weeks ago, there was still a number of odds and ends that needed attention. That is where my Dad comes into the picture.
He has always been a handy guy, so whenever I need something handy done, or just needed some handy advice I always call on my Dad. As for this weekend, we (I mean, my Dad) fixed and installed a couple of light fixtures, attached a couple of towel racks in my downstairs bathroom, cleaned up and mowed my lawn, bolted my dishwasher to the countertop and took care of various other odds and ends. Today will be less busy with attaching the mirror to my dresser and installing another clothing hook in my bedroom. He has also been attempting to fix my kitchen chairs which are missing a few of the supports.
It doesn't seem to matter whether we are in my home or in my childhood home, we had our typical Sunday morning family breakfast. Dad & I spent the morning drinking coffee and chatting about life and my house. Then once Mom was awake, showered and dressed we sat down for a hearty breakfast of less-than-real bacon (we usually have real bacon, but I didn't have any in the house so the skillet strips that were purchased last weekend had to do), scrambled eggs and toast. Good Family Times.
It's back to work tomorrow...a full week this time. I don't think I have worked a full 5 days in a row since before Easter. I hope that it goes fast, as BFF is coming up on Saturday, and Andy doesn't have to work, so we are planning a fun-filled girls weekend.
