One Way to Clean A House

It appears that people like to  come and look at the house on Sundays at about 10am. Okay. 

We thought we would clean up last night after we got back from Elon, but we were so late and we met Lori and Jim at Melos for dinner and then were so tired we watched some baseball and then got up for the cleaning.

Tony was the best because he got out the ladder and somehow managed to clean out the crazy 2nd floor window above the front door.  (Why do they do that?  They are impossible to clean!)

He also blew off the porch and deck.  I vaccumed the upstairs and cleaned the bathrooms, dusted and Amy did the downstairs.  And we were out by 10:00am.

We go to the Hilton Hotel because it is shady and no one bothers us.

Poor Bennett fell off the seat in the parking lot and tore his dew claw ~ but I didn't know it until we got home and I saw the crime scene in the back seat!!!!!!!

These are from Elon University yesterday:

Saying goodbye to Jane

This was the coolest gadget ~ the girls ordered it from Elon and it was delivered to the room ~ a microwave above a freezer above a refridgerator.  All one piece, one plug!  All I could think of was that crazy beer commercial puppy monkey baby!

Jane's roommates set up under her bed.

Amy and Jane 

Elon did a beautiful job with the family picnic ~ they had hundreds of students and faculty everywhere to help.  Tony says when he took Jane on the first day, they were directed to her dorm, students unloaded and transported everything to her room while he parked the car!  It was great!

We have been in contact with Carolyn and she says they were already for whatever Hurricane Harvey brought and were doing alright.  I understand the Houston was flooded like crazy, so hopefully San Antonio does not have the same horrible flooding.

Love,

Back To School

I have been following family (cousins and nieces) who are all going back or starting at colleges.  

Val goes back to NYU this weekend ~ a sophomore!  Where does the time go?????????

Mike's daughter, Madeline, is starting at Texas A&M ~ Commerce, which is 50 miles north of Dallas (close to her grandparents).  

Tony and Jane just left to get Jane set up at Elon University.  

It is all of a sudden, very quiet in the house.  

I just got off the phone with NFCU because SOMEONE used my credit card to purchase an ipad pro from Best Buy on line.  I know this because I called Best Buy and I got the shipping address and what they bought.  Since the transaction is pending, Best Buy is stopping the shipment to the address, which Best Buy also gave me.  And yes, I looked them up on Whitepages Reverse Address Look Up.  I kind of want to go see who they are.  But I am not.

The sad thing is, the charge occured on the same day I used the card when I went to the dentist.  I had not used the card for 6 days prior.  But, the name on the address where the ipad pro was supposed to go is not a name of an employee at the dentist.  I know, I am playing junior detective.  

Have a beautiful day!!!!

Love,

Do I Really Need 4 Cake Stands?

I am going thru the kitchen cabinets today ~ packing what we want to keep and getting rid of what we do not need.  

It is a tough job, but as you can see, I have my supervisors.  There is alot of snoring going on though.  

I have finally realized to recycle the AMAZON boxes for Good Will and save the good boxes for our stuff.  It is a small thing but I think it is smart.

On the fun side, Jim and I went to see DUNKIRK last night.  Wow!  What a visual movie! And OMG what a nightmare!  There are really only 200 words said through the entire movie and I understood only about 25.  Darn those British and Scottish accents anyway!  I need closed captioning and/or subtitles inorder to watch the BBC!  But, it was truly worth seeing. I understand that Emma has seen it 3 times already!!!!!!

Jane is back from Zanzibar and we got a postcard, which I love!  I am looking forward to hearing about her travels.

Ok, back to work.

Much love to ALL!!!
