The final hurrah

I went straight from work to Outback to meet up with Cindy, Katie, DJ, our friend Deb, Cindy’s mom and her niece.  We have celebrated many of Cindy and Katie’s birthdays there, it’s one of their favorites places to eat.  Of course baby DJ was the main star of the show but I think everyone had a good time and an enjoyable meal.  When we got home I gave Cindy her card and her last gift, a nice set of earrings which she was definitely not expecting.

Hopefully the roughly week long birthday festivities will be a lasting and positive memory for Cindy of her 50th year on the planet, just like mine is.

I have a feeling like there are so many things that need tending to at the house.  We are approaching the time of year that a full pressure washing needs to occur, the hated tree trimming project needs to happen, and a number of other smaller clean ups and projects are piled on as well.  We also need to start thinking about a plan for clearing the rooms for the carpet restretch that is due to happen on the 28th. It’s going to be a massive chore but hopefully it gives us a chance to clean up, throw out, and organize along the way.
