A Well-balanced Memorial Day weekend

Well, what a great weekend!

It was really great! Nice and long and a good mix of things got done!

Friday night, Derick and I both deemed "relaxation night," since we both hadn't gotten much time to just hang out with each other and relax all week. So we did just that.

Saturday, Derick, Tucker and I spent the day at my parent's lake place in Amery, WI on King Lake. Derick helped my dad put in the dock and help with a couple sprinkler heads around the cabin. I set up our tent that was a wedding shower gift for the first time, just to air it out. I also went with my mom to see my grandma in the nursing home. How sad nursing homes are. I really admire the patience that the people that work there have. And just not being sad and depressed all the time!

My parents bought theirlake property just after I graduated high school in 2003 and have been slowly working on building a cabin on the property. Tucker had a BLAST running around all day, in the mud and the lake. He was so exhausted he slept almost the whole way home! Derick also got to go see a 19 foot bass boat that someone had listed for sale on Craig's List. He and my dad worked out a deal where my dad put forth the finances for the boat, and Derick and his cousin will work it off on some weekends this summer!

Sunday we had another day of relaxing and cleaning. We went shopping without actually buying anything. Derick bought boat wash, but I think that was pretty much it! We watched the movie Seven Pounds. It was pretty sad at the ending, but both Derick and I had the basic plot of the movie figured out right away. I cleaned my car-inside and out. Tucker was very adamant about trying to get back IN my car after I got all his hair OUT of it! Derick cleaned out some of the garage. Next project, is the closet in the guest bedroom/office/crap shoot of a room!

Today, I tried to clean a little more, but our vacuum cleaner kinda clunked out, so that put an end to that! Later Paul, Jenny and Roman came over for a big dinner and then the dog park! It was fun to see and catch up with them. Tucker is asleep on the floor right now he is so tired out from the busy, fun weekend!

Now, just a shorter week at work!
