Easter Monday

After an exceptional and busy Easter weekend, we said goodbye to Matt & Dana, Brian and Andrew and I did what all good parents do with their adult children.....we went shopping!  We shopped for a new lease for me only to discover that I had been somehow hit in the front  popping  the pins to my bumper.  This was in addition to the damage on my back bumper from the thug that hit me on Saturday at the drive-thru of McDonalds.  After the 6 of us had a great time in Hamtramck and lunch at Polish Village, one of Matt's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives list places.  Today, the Livonia police told me that I have to file a report in  Detroit .  The good part was that  Andrew photographed the license when the little jerk would not give us his driver's license as he jumped in his car, backed up and took off. His comment was that since there was no damage to his bumper, there could not possibly be any damage to mine (as I was pointing out all the dents, knicks and scratches).   So, when I went to my dealership in Ann Arbor today, they said the back was minor but found damage that I had not noticed to the front.  I wash my car by hand and dry it myself if I go thru the car wash and know this damage was really recent.  Bottom line was that Otto and Andrew later popped it back into place.  Andrew and I spent the morning driving the new CRV, picked our color and am just waiting to hear whether I need to do something now or wait until June when my lease is up.  After a little shopping at World Market, Andrew found a new winter coat at Macy's.  Major sales today so we headed for the outlets in Howell. We did some major shopping at Old Navy, Coach and a few other stores.  Lunch was at Potbelly's (which I will be a poster child for if I don't stop eating out) and dinner at B'dubs.  Really enjoyed my time with the kids.  Tomorrow I have an appointment back in Ann Arbor for my hand.  Lunch at Papa Vinos and home to start spring cleaning.
After returning home tonight, I was getting laundry out of the dryer and heard a dripping sound in the laundry tub coming from the basement ceiling.  Upon closer investigation, the kitchen sink was leaking due to the recent installation of a new faucet a week ago, and the installer loosened the drain in the sink.  No major damage, just a pain in the ass leak in the sink flooring and all the junk under the sink and rug were soaked.  Never a dull moment.  Andrew flies home in the morning and then, back to normal, whatever that is!   It is what it is!  Happy Spring, Happy April Fool's Day!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
