Weekend update

It's been a pretty full weekend, and we still have half to go!  I always enjoy it when I do something on the weekends, other than sitting around playing on the computer.  I enjoy my "down time" on the computer just fine, but if it's all I do, I feel like I cheated myself.  I guess there's some part of my brain that wants to fight my lazy nature.

Yesterday, we looked at 6 houses.  Wow, that'll wear you out.  Some of them got an instant "no way!", while a couple of others were definate possibilities.  We're not gonna get a new, $200k home on our budget, but I want enough bedrooms.  I don't mind doing some "fixing up", but I don't want to work for 2 months to make it livable.  There is one that we agreed is what we're looking for.  Now the big decision.  Neither of us has ever owned a home, so it's overwhelming, and scary, and nerve-wracking, and wonderful.  We'll see how it goes.

At mom's, we had lunch of tenderloin sandwiches.  Yummy!  It was great.  Then mom and I went for a short ride back to the bottoms.  Buddy wasn't able to run all the way up "the hill" without stopping, but after a short rest, he ran the rest of the way.  Poor little fella doesn't know what to do with all that energy.  Today, if the rain holds off, I'd like to get a longer ride in.

We came home in time to drop Brett of for work...yeah, I said work.  Brett got his first job offer, and started last night.  It looks like it's probably gonna be Saturday evenings only, for now, but that's OK.  He washed dishes non-stop for 5 hours, and it kicked his butt, but he was happy when he got home.  I remember my first day of my first job, so I remember that feeling.  The early stages of freedom!  His friend Robert spent the night last night.  They played cards and game cube and listened to music.  I like Robert.  A lot of teen agers get on my nerves, but Robert could stick around all the time, and I wouldn't mind.

I love having the windows open 'round the clock.  I love the sunshine.  I love the dogwoods and redbuds "doing their thing" and I love wearing short sleeves without needing a jacket for the first half of the day.  I love Spring.  I'll take my camera today and try to get some good pictures of the day.
