Back to the grindstone...

Well, the week away from school has come and gone. During the week I did quite a few things. I mainly spent time in our flowerbeds. We have stones to keep Cinnamon from bringing mud into the house when she walks around the flowers. On Monday I started the task of taking the stones out, washing the mud off, cleaning out the leaves, and putting the stones back. I had to stop after a few hours of that. Mark had to rub my back and neck that night. On Tuesday I couldn't move to continue in my task. I went to see Mama Mia! with Mark's parents and Gran. I think it was just as good the 3rd time as it was the first. On Wednesday I almost finished with the stones before I went to Amy's house to spend an afternoon cooking. We cooked a mince pie for starters, a chicken in the crock pot for our entree, carrots, cous cous, and peas to go with the chicken, and chocolate cake and meringue for dessert. Mark and Jason (Amy's boyfriend) came to supper with Amy's parents and their bible study. Thursday was very calm. I finished the rocks before our lawn service came to mow the lawn. That afternoon I cleaned out my closet and changed out my winter clothes for summer ones. I can finally wear some of the clothes that we got in Foley in July. Friday...back to the lawn. There is one area of the lawn that the grass just can't seem to reach. So, I dug a little of the dirt out and got some sod to jump start the growing process. Now, we just have to do something with the extra dirt - I didn't want the area with sod to be higher than the rest of the yard. That was what today entailed. Mark and I are breaking up the clumps of dirt and putting a thin extra layer of top soil on the yard. Tonight we went to our friend, Lauren's, birthday braai. Now we're watching a movie and going to sleep! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
