Started on the basement again. Yeah again. It gets wet down there when it rains and really doesn't get a chance to dry out. So I've been down there cleaning, organizing and airing it out. Hopefully I will get rid of the musty smell that we get every now and then. I found a container down there for Homer and his bird seed. He has like 3 different bags of seed and they are in the way. This way maybe they all can be contained in one place and not scattered.
Didn't hear much construction going on today. Just every now and then you might hear them, but at least they aren't right out back. My back yard faces Washington Street, right where the construction is. They are making progress on it too. You can see the changes they've made and they look really good so far.
Tabetha is stilling hoping on moving this coming weekend. (Which is Labor Day Weekend) Hoping to close on the house on Friday and then Move In on Saturday. Candace wants to have a cookout at her house on Sunday. So maybe we'll just stay home on Monday(Labor Day) and do whatever comes our way. Never know from weekend to weekend.

Good Weekend
Don't know if you know, but here in the little town of Cumberland we are under construction. Road Construction that is. They are widening the road and putting in trees on both sides and down the middle. It's suppose to take 2 years to do. I'll be glad when it's all done. The beeping of them backing up and banging on the pavement to break it up, big equipment and dump trucks. I really hate the dust, I am cleaning all the time.
It was a productive weekend. Cleaning
Saturday - We went out for breakfast and then hit a couple garage sales, really didn't find anything. I took apart Tabetha's desk (the one I was using) and put it in the barn. Then had to reassemble mine. Mine is the one I had before, it's alright, a little small, but it'll have to do. I literly put a couple new screws in each the boards (and my finger) to make it sturdier. I stripped an redid the outside of my file cabinets. Not the inside just yet, not in the mood and there is too much of it junk. I now have my desk space back in order. I think, until I change my mine again.
Sunday - I made breakfast this morning. Then started my cleaning up from the mess yesterday. Redone the middle bedroom, well put a book shelf up there and reorganized that room. This is the room my desk came from.
Jeremy has been trying to make a sk8 board ramp. Well today he took the one he had and cut it in half. Took one half and cut the sides off, so the plywood would bend, then we made braces for it. I only got drilled in the finger once today. It turned out pretty cool. Homer just stood back and laughed at us. He did let us use his tools, nor did he yell at us. We had a good time making it and it works, that all that counts.

Got Camera
Got the camera to working again. lol Just needed batteries. I will be taking alot of pictures and posting them as much as I can. So keep in Touch.
Feeling Better
Not sure what it was, but I'm glad it's gone. Had to straighten and clean the house today. Dishes, laundry sweeping floors, the whole nine yards. If momma is sick then nothing gets done, so sick or not I got up and did what I had to do.
Heard today that Tabetha and Daniel get to close on their new house next Friday. She was hoping it would be that weekend. It's Labor Day weekend and she'll have an extra day to unpack and get things in order. She is very organized so shouldn't take her very long to do.
The Boys are arguing over who is watching what on TV. As usual, they sometimes agree and then there are the times they don't and it's zapping all commercials. It gets very annoying.
I wanted to tell you all that I have a little friend now. It's a yellow/orange/white stripped cat or kitten. Don't think it's very old, maybe a year or less. It just came up to Jeremy earlier this week while he was waiting on the bus for school. Of course I had to take him in and feed him and now he won't leave. We have been looking for his owner. It has to be someone's cat cause it doesn't run away from you and it is very loveable and purrrrrrring all the time. I call him Mr. Kitty and the boys think he looks like Garfield. I don't know. We or I should say Homer was thinking about getting a kitten from his buddy. They should be now around 3-4 weeks old. I haven't seen them.

Sick Day
Yeah, I was sick today. Was up all night sick. I bet I knew that Sen. Ted Kennedy died before you. It was a Special Report and NBC at 1:47 am. I almost missed getting Jeremy up for school. After I got him off to school I went back to lay down and didn't come back downstairs until around 1:30 pm. I really don't know what is wrong with me, I know I don't like it. I don't like just laying around all day when I know there is stuff to be done. Sure hope tomorrow will be better.
Tabetha and Max came over for a little while. She brought stuff over that she didn't want for the new house. She'll need to have a garage sale when she moves in.

I am Back
Hello to all. I am back and writing about what goes on in my little corner of the World. Yes, I literally live on a corner lot with no other houses around. We evidently like it here, been in the same spot for 20 years.
We all make mistakes and we learn by them!
