Happy Mother's Day weekend...
I drove home from Caseville yesterday after spending a very busy week and a half there. Hubby says that the weather here wasn't all that great, but we had very nice weather in Caseville. Well, one day we got some cool rainy weather, but most of it was sunny and warm. I even got to wear shorts for a few days.
I got a ton of yard work done at the cottage. I cut the lawn 4 times! I pulled all the weeds in my mum garden on the side of the cottage and laid down mulch and the chickens I bought at that estate sale. They look so cute there....love my chickens! I took out all the stones around the pump house, pulled weeds and laid more mulch there. I pulled all the weeds in my vegetable garden and filled it in with mulch. I'm not doing a veggie garden this year. I also pulled all the weeds in my flower garden in front of my deck.
Then I spent a couple days at the condo taking down my storms and putting in the screen windows, vacuuming everything, cleaning the bathroom....plus, I put a new bedspread on the bed and I set up my new TV that I had taken up. I bought a flat-panel TV to replace the one that was in there. I told the office that they can come get the old one if anyone wants it. It's fairly new...I just bought it at Walmart about 4 years ago.
I did do some relaxing things too....like going to the Eagles, shopping at Bad Axe and Bingo on Wednesday nights. I even won $20!

I bought a pair of those new Skecher Shape Ups shoes...you know, the ones that they've been advertising on TV that claims to tone your legs and butt. I just love them! I've been wearing them all day. They feel strange when you first walk with them on and it takes a bit of getting use to the feel but they are fun to wear. Go to a store and try them on and you'll see what I mean. By the end of the day, I could feel my muscles in my legs so it's a good workout wearing them. They come with a DVD that explains how they work and the proper way to walk when you wear them and some exercises you can do with them on.

Hubby drove to Ohio today with our youngest son to pick up a truck that he was buying that he found on Craigslist. He sold his truck that broke down on the freeway a couple weeks ago. And he found a deal on another truck that he used to make money on. Basically, buying it cheap and reselling it for more. So with his profits he bought another truck for himself. And here's the funny story that my husband told me when he got back::::
:::::They get down there and my son is looking the truck over and found something familiar with the truck. So he asked the guy if he had replaced a tail light and the guy was surprised that my son would even know that...cause he did. So my son asked the guy if he had bought the truck from a guy named Ed, and he did! Apparently, there was a truck near him here in Michigan that my son looked at about 4 months ago but the guy wanted too much money for, so he passed on it. This was the SAME TRUCK!! The guy said he had bought the truck a few months ago from a guy named Ed, who lived in the same city that my son first saw the truck here in Michigan! My son recognized some things on the truck and he knew it had to be the same truck and it is.....weird!! So he could have just bought the truck a few months ago and saved himself a long 3 hour drive to Ohio....haha. But he got a better deal....plus, this guy had put brand new tires on the truck, and gave him the old tires which he will now sell on Craigslist and make part of his money back.
Guess it was just meant to be for him to have this truck....
