The latest technique in lawn mowing!

We have two new sets of neighbors. One set is East Indian...not sure if they are from India or Pakistan or what. They live behind us. The other family is next door. I have no idea where they are from, but they seem very nice. They built a beautiful deck and fence. They also painted the interior all kind of colors...but not to the point that it's ugly. Sometimes they play music...not in English...but it is very enjoyable. They should be moving in the by the end of the month. We have been very entertained by the neighbors behind us. They are a very young couple and have never mowed. The guy mows like you would vacuum the house! It's crazy. His wife stands and laughs at him and then she gives it a whirl. In the end, the lawn does get mowed...well, mostly mowed. You can tell where he experimented with the different height settings and sometimes he misses strips. I guess it doesn't take much to entertain us.

Albertville

This weekend I was able to get away with Nancy and the girls (my sister-in-law and nieces) to Albertville to the outlet mall. We left early Sat. and returned Sunday evening. I didn't come back empty handed, but we just didnt' find the bargains we were hoping for. I did manage to get Alex 9 pieces of clothing for just at $50. That's not too bad. I got some undies and a pair of shoes! Paul was in charge of Alex, and he seemed to do just fine with out me. I'm not sure Alex reallly noticed I was missing. I guess I expected him to be a little more excited when I got home.

Alex has now figured out how to turn himself around and go down the stairs! He also gives "low 5's." The toilet and toilet paper are now his objects of interest. If you come to visit, the tp will pr0bably be either unrolled in a pile on the floor or rolled back up in a messy roll. I guess it gets the job done either way! :)

It has arrived!

I've been waiting for my medicine since the beginning of May, and it finally arrived on Tuesday! This might come as a shock but someone didn't know what they were doing which is why it took so long. :) I have 3 month supply in the fridge. Paul and I figured out we have over $20,000 worth of medicine sitting there! Unfortunately, the pain that I'm getting isn't quite what I expected. They suggest taking Tylenol, but I haven't found it to be too helpful. Maybe by next week I'll have gotten use to it.

Today we are out to Paul's boss's lake cabin. Each year he has a lake day. We've never gone before. I'm excited because there should be some kiddo's for Alex to play with. Tomorrow I've got a baby shower to attend. I'll be gone for most of the day. I'm hoping to relax Sunday and slowly get the house cleaning under control.

Have a great weekend!
