Weekend Post

This weekend was a some what relaxing one even though I found out that our neighbors of 15 years are no longer our neighbors. Due to health and financial issues the house will be going into foreclosure and both of them into a nursing home. I am saddened by this news as they were good neighbors and I hate to see what might move in next. Friday after work we met up with Rudy, Brando, Yin and several of their friends at Huddle House in Vincennes for a round of waffles. The waffles were good and filling but Needles and I will have to keep our visits there spars to maintain our diets. After that we headed home and relaxed with our fully bellies the rest of the evening. Saturday morning we slept in and after breakfast, Needles started in on homemade vegetable soup while I mowed the lawn. The temps were supposed to be a little cooler but by the time I finished mowing it was in the low 80's. When I came inside I was about to melt down but mmmmm the soup was still very good. Later that day after looking at next weeks forecast we decided to go to Wally world and pick up a window A/C unit for our bedroom. Since the temps are still swinging wildly we didn't want to turn on our central air yet and usually try to hold off until June 1st. We can tolerate being warm during the day but don't seem to sleep well at night, so we decided to make the purchase as it will probably pay for itself in the long run.Later that night we had a round of Summer pop up storms. Today I haven't done too much. I did breakout the smoker and try to do some cleaning. I steamed the grates and got some of the old grease build up out of it. Will probably knock out another load of laundry this evening before we call it a night. Hope you had a nice weekend.

Easter

This weekend was somewhat uneventful, which is how we like it. We went out to eat and grocery shopping on Saturday and to our surprise it was not very busy at the Chinese place we usually eat at. We finished up there and of course had to do a Wally World run. After that we decided to stop by the IGA as Wally World was lacking in some items. I edited a couple more vacation videos, so if you are interested jump over to the travel blog, and on Sunday we went South to L's house for Easter. We had the usual fixings of ham and dumplings, potatoes and cabbage slaw. For dessert Needles made raspberry pretzel salad. It was all very good and when we got home we relaxed in the living room and watched the new Fright Nite. It was campy but entertaining. Hope you had a good holiday weekend.
