"Lovely" Window Washer

This was quite a different day as for the first time our windows have been cleaned on the outside. So Lovely did it! I could not get the screens out to clean the windows but Lovely got them off and proceeded to get on a step ladder to get the outside and the frame washed. Now the windows are so clean that I can't tell if they are open or closed. Lovely cleaned the shelf and all the ceramics on the shelf. Well that is another task done. This afternoon Alan and Lovely went down to Alden's as Isaiah and Abby are down there.

Here is a picture I found that helps you to see how clean my windows are now!

Wash Day

This morning I changed my bedding and washed clothes. Alan and Isaiah went to play tennis. At noon Lovely, Isaiah and Abby went shopping at the Thrift shops. This afternoon Ethel, Isaiah and I played Rummy-Q then Hailey stopped by to take Abby and Isaiah to Alden's. Lovely and Alan decided to join the game of Rummy-Q. Lovely made us a great green salad and we are still working on finishing leftovers. Of course we watched Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

Prime Time

Today the six of us went to Prime Time at church. The entertainment was The Vagabonds (Oldies but Goodies Sing Along) The menu was Fish Tacos, Beans, Corn Salad, Ice Cream Sundae, cookies and coffee, tea or lemonade. Of course, there was leftovers for this evening. Alan and his family went over to Vista to shop and pick up a iPhone that was brought from L.A. by a friend. Ethel and I went to cards. There was six of us -- Mary, Marianna, Lois, Connie, Ethel and myself.

Lost in the mountains

Today Alan. Lovely Isaiah, Abby, Ethel and I took off at 12:00 noon to go to Jamul to meet with Chad and investigate the property which Chad purchased. Chad is doing a lot of work on this property to prepare to build a house and workshop. Well, we were to meet there at 1:00 pm but we got lost so we finally got there just after 1:30. We had lunch together with leftovers which Maria and Chad had from company the day before as they had a house full for a memorial of one of Chad's friends. We had a good time up in the mountains. There are large trees on his property, so it was not too hot!

The rain came

Last night about 11:00 pm we got rain for about five minutes. The humidity was quite high. This morning Alan and Isaiah went to play tennis. At noon we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch and we received six free chicken sandwiches as we were dressed in black and white and today was their special day. "Eat Mor Chikin!" The sandwich was soooo good. Then Alan drove us to Fry's in Mission Valley and we shopped there before driving over to Alden's. McKenna and Andrew opened their wedding gifts. They received such great gifts and cards.Then Andrew and Josh went to In-and Out for the group but some of us didn't order as we were still filled up from Chick-fil-A. We had a great time telling and listening to stories. Of course Lovely was playing games with the kids.

Work day

Today was a work day. It was a good day to work outside as the sun wasn't blaring hot. Alan cleaned the top of the sun room and the gutter which was very dirty with tree debris and leaves. Alan then rehung some of Ethel's hanging plants by putting in two more hanging hooks. We cleaned the patio carpet. Lovely replaced the light in the kitchen and she tried to replace the light in the guest bathroom but she was unable to get the old light out so we will not replace that light. Lovely helped me with some things on the computer. This afternoon we went to the club to play Hand & Foot. Lovely joined us for a short time. We still had so much leftovers, so that's what we ate. It has been so nice to have Alan and Lovely here to help us with these things. Abby is at Alden's and Alan picked up Isaiah from Alden's this morning so that they can go and play tennis together. I think I'm going to blog every day while they are here. If I have questions, I will have some "experts" to help me out!
