Weekend Notes 10/2-10/3

We celebrated DS15's birthday this past weekend knowing on his actual birthday our family won't be able to share much together time. He wanted to go to Red Lobster for all you can eat shrimp. He enjoyed it very much as did the rest of us. We spoiled him with gifts and ended the weekend eating cake.

The living room floor is almost complete. We still need to attach quarter round trims, but for the most part it feels done because we've been able to move furniture back into the room. I almost didn't want to do this because it began to cover up all our work. :)

Before our first frosty nights arrived this weekend, we pulled up much of the garden and trimmed bushes. Our city is suppose to pick up brush collection this week, but I'm sure they will skip our neighborhood like usual. We'll end up having to bring it to our city's yard waste compost pile ourselves. Its actually just down the road so its not too much trouble.

We did not pick pumpkins or tag our Christmas tree yet. Maybe we'll do this next weekend? Its never long enough is it, the weekend?

Sounds like a good weekend. Happy Birthday DS15. It's always a good feeling when a project is almost done. Can't wait to see the finished pics. Have a great week

Shrimp is always good and it has to be "all you can eat" or it's just not worth it! LOL Glad he had a good birthday celebration! I know it feels good to have the living room put back together! No, weekends are never long enough.

That is so wonderful that you all enjoyed yourselves at Red Lobster. Happy Birthday to your son, great photo. I just bought a ring of jumbo shrimp this afternoon, I couldn't resist. I have a few friends coming over tomorrow so I'm looking forward to eating that shrimp, yum yum. I agree, weekends are never long enough. Have a great day!

Your son is such a good looking young man!:o) Happy Birthday to him! The early celebration sounds fun! mmmmm shrimp! Those and chocolate are my daughter's favorite things! lol (Feel like singing...'these are a few of my favorite things..............') lol

I was thinking today we need to trim crepe myrtles back. I trimmed our shrubs a few weeks ago, so they can be left alone. I DO have some rose bushes that need pulling up. I dug one up and planted forsythea in its place.I need to see about rooting some more for the spring!:o)

Wow. busy weekend. Glad you all were able to enjoy the shrimp. I agree iwth Debbie, your son is a good looking young man, of which I am sure you are very proud of. Happy Belated Birthday!

We had a somewhat busy weekend as well. trying to get some home repairs done before the winter weather arrives. Started back into my baking this weekend as well. Felt so good, and smelled it as well.

Glad the flooring project was a success. awaiting photos of the finished project.
