Weekend at home

My wish from the last blog came true - I was very active around home this weekend and probably lost a few of those calories I gained Friday. Saturday was warm and sunny and I was able to make some inroads on the yard work but the day began in the early light of day as Carol and I gave drove Ian to the airport to catch his 5:45am flight to Indianapolis to attend NOAC (National Order of the Arrow Conference) being held at the University of Indiana in Bloomington. He'll be back on Thursday. After returning home I made breakfast then after eating, Carol prepared and left to meet Lois to attend a seminar type event on genealogy and I started to work on the yard. Carol was home by mid-afternoon and we left to workout at our fitness center. Before that we did a little shopping and picked up a GPS system, the Garmin Nuvi 255w. So that will be something interesting to try out. I think it's the same model that Lois and Jim have, lovingly known as "the bitch in the box", for it's insistent driving directions. After Ian returns he'll be making an overnight and back trip to New York state so that will be it's official first use for travel. We haven't settled on an endearing name for the device but I'm sure something will come to us. At least now when I'm told to "get lost" I'll know how to get there.

Today was more of the same on the yard work, the goal is to recover the overgrown areas of the lawn that hadn't been mowed this year because of all the rain we've had. We took care of a couple of places, there's more to be done.

Onward into the coming week, another vacation at the lake is on the other end of this week.
