A Day in my Life

 September is here.  I'm always kind of sad when September arrives.  It means Fall is nearly here, and winter is not far behind.  However, it's nice that the temps are a little cooler, and Fall is a beautiful season. September one was an eventful day for us.  I'll tell you about my day!

I had the day off from work, but had lots to do that day!  I did sleep in a bit, but was up around 8.


I started my day with 2 poached eggs.  Have you seen these silicone egg poaching cups?   I just got them and they work well.  Spray the cup with PAM, then open the egg into it and lower into a pan of boiling water.  Put the lid on and let boil for 6 minutes.  They slide right out of the cup and are perfectly done.


I had a lot to do on this day - vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathrooms.  I got to work on that right away.
 
One area I was cleaning was our family room downstairs.  The night before Bob and I had set up this air mattress to prepare for guests.  Andy and Nikki were driving up from Kentucky to spend a little time here, so I had to get it ready for them.



After the cleaning was done I took a lunch break.  I had tomato sandwich for lunch - a piece of toast, a little mayo, tomato and some black pepper.  Yum!

I had an appt at 1 to get my hair done - a cut and color.  It was needed and I was happy to have it done!



After I got done at the beautician, I went to get groceries and got home around 3.



After I put the groceries away, I took a walk out side.  Here's how our new porch is looking.  It's a good start!



In the back yard, we're starting to see some tinges on color.


Soon Bob came home from work. We relaxed for a little bit, and then headed out for a dinner invitation. We were invited to Heather and Andrews house, along with Aaron and Laura and girls.  The reason?  They had an ultrasound that morning and found out the sex of the baby.  So - we were all excited!


Here's Alaina and Ruby, always happy to see Oliver again.



Before we ate, Heather let Alaina read the note on the ultrasound with the big reveal.



We had a nice supper of grilled hamburgers, salad and fries.  Later we had ice cream with toppings in the correct color for either a girl or a boy.

After a nice evening, celebrating with Heather and Andrew we headed home.  Andy and Nikki arrived in the early morning and went straight to bed.


Oh!  Did you want to hear the news?  Was is a boy or a girl?

It's a girl!
