Nice night out with SILs. Though the restaurant was 25 minutes away the entire drive was on a really pleasant road. So easy to drive back and forth from.

We finished all integration of kitchen stuff yesterday - DH has a box of donations for things that will never be used again or were duplicates. I did a much more thorough vacuuming of the rooms we will spend the most time in - so much sand! I would really like to scrub the floors, but that will probably have to wait until next year. The windows need to be washed badly but they are mostly dirty between the storm windows and the regular window so have to be dismantled to some extent - they are not modern windows. If there is time and good weather this week, DH may do some of them. I did get some pictures mounted on the walls but the rest have to wait until I get some more supplies. I always had a lot of stuff as backup on my workbench, but DH is not that handy so only has what his father left behind. And his kids act like this is just a rental place so don't really take care of things. Now that DH is 70 they really need to start realizing that his capabilities are going to wane in the coming years and they need to step up to take care of more. But changing how kids step up is difficult as I see the same thing with mine.

It is going to rain today and I am debating whether to go back to my town for a birthday lunch with my SIL and BIL. I haven't really seen my BIL for quite a while other than a brief appearance at the wedding last weekend (he didn't stay for the meal). I hate driving in the rain and am tired of the drive back and forth from there but we shall see...

I may have found someone to fix my mailbox! The guy who took the remainder of my furniture thinks he can do it. I just asked him if he knew anyone who could as he works for the town and knows a lot of handy guys. He said he probably could. That would be another thing off he list! I'm not so worried about the alarm stuff - if they don't contact me that is their problem.

Time to think about a dog walk before the rain starts. Have a momentary Monday!

I will have to try this book - sounds interesting.

Our long time church does not feel the same to us any longer too. It has grown more conservative over the years, which isn't necessarily wrong, but it is not how I am called to serve. DH and just discussed this on Saturday. Are we going to continue saying we are members but only show up sporadically, or do we need to re commit to our changed church or do we need to go find another?

Haha, I have no multi day stories either.

Probably not Frasier, Niles, Martin, or Eddie Crane either!

No fall color yet. We've got a month maybe? Still so dang hot. 113 in Phoenix today. Unprecedented.
