Today was First Eucharist for 28 of our kids. The weather cooperated and it was warm, although windy. I got several thank-yous and compliments from parents on this year's program so that always makes me feel appreciated. When I got home the boys were out hitting golf balls for the first time this year. The sprinklers were running as well! Looks like summer might actually be on the way. I cleaned up the kitchen and started the laundry. It's time to get motivated and get some things done around here that have been put off. Somehow nicer weather makes that not so difficult.
Tomorrow is a day off, although I will probably be working on graduation announcements.
Courtney will be moving home on Friday for the summer. I guess life as we know it will be different for the summer, and then of course, totally different in the fall when both kids move out.
Yesterday we drove into Minneapolis for a birthday party and watched kids ride ponies up and down the alley. There were lots of little kids there and they were, shall we say, not exactly quiet and well-behaved. Fun was had by all, and the cake was delicious! We really need to get together with these parents and have an adult night out.
On the way back home we stopped at Texas Roadhouse for dinner, but the wait was soooooooo long that we didn't stay. And it was quite early, we thought....5:15 pm. I was disappointed since we had never eaten at one before and was looking forward to trying it. So we traveled down the road to eat at one of our normal standbys. We made it home and that was pretty much the end of the evening.
