Busy Day in Kakeland!

We took Kaleb's car to the shop this morning. His A/C wasn't working. Thank goodness it didn't end up being anything major - just needed some freon. No leaks in the system or anything. So now he's ready for summer.

After we dropped off the car, we went to Panera for breakfast. I love their everything bagels, and we rarely get a chance to eat there, since there isn't one close. We ended up buying a baker's dozen (13) since it was only a few more $ than buying 4. Since Kaleb was needing a computer desk, we ended up going to Office Depot and then Office Max, where we found him one on clearance. We brought the bagels home so Brandon could eat breakfast before heading to work, and then went to Heights. The school left a message on Friday that our "senior" had obligations to pay before they could receive their diploma. Since we didn't know which "senior" it was, they both went with me. Kaleb had apparently not paid the $20 for his photography class, and they said Kaitlin owed $13 for the AP Chemistry test. However, since she took the test last year, she wasn't scheduled to take it this year. Needless to say, we didn't have to pay for the test! Kaitlin put the desk together - with minimal help from Kaleb. She loves to put stuff together!

The rest of the day I've spent finishing laundry (still not done yet) and gathering items for the garage sale. It's not until June 6, but since this coming weekend is Memorial Day, and the following weekend we are going to KC, I figured I better get started.

Tonight we are anxiously awaiting the season finale of CSI Miami - one of our favorite shows.

Today's music has included Keith Urban's newest CD - Defying Gravity, as well as Green Day's latest CD, courtesy of Brandon.

Time for a "quote of the day": "Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff & grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take & sift them & keep what is worth keeping & then with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away." -- Dinah Marie Mulock Craik (1866)

That is one of my favorite quotes, Linda! My friend, Lucy, did a calligraphy of that quote (or one similar to it) for me that hangs on the wall in my living room. It's a good one!

Margaritaville!

We had a wonderful get-together at On the Border this afternoon. The margaritas were great! Of course, I was the only one drinking - and I'm not even much of a drinker. It was great seeing my niece, Lenore and my nephew, Nick. Even though Nick lives here, I don't get to see him much, as his work hours prevent us from seeing much of each other. We did make a pact to get together and see a movie over the Thankgiving holiday. We will be going to Oklahoma on Thanksgiving to spend it with Charles, but I'll have to come back Thanksgiving night as I have to work on Friday. Here are some pictures from our afternoon out. Kaleb with Nick (Brandon provided Kaleb's rabbit ears)... Kaitlin and Brandon Mom, Terry, Sandy and Lenore Lenore and Mike Ryan and Diana Diana in her Garth t-shirt (I can't wait until tomorrow night!) Me with my sister Rhonda Mom and Lenore THE WHOLE CREW minus me - I'd rather be taking the picture! We are childless tonight, as Brandon went to a concert...
