Good Morning!
It's Tuesday. Where did my four day weekend go? It was nice and needed though. I needed a break from work.

Good morning, HouseHeads. It's our wedding anniversary. Mumble-mumble years, which is sobering when I consider how old Sassy was when we got married.

HOw old was I? 
Happy Anniversary.
It's ALMOST friday. Will I make it?
Even though I am feeling better I am still spent when I get home from work at night. But the kitchen is staying clean, which indicates to me I am feeling better, if that makes sense.

For me, seeing the kitchen clean would instantly make me feel better.
Yesterday we stowed the last of the moldy photo albums and papers in the basement, inside tubs. Not only does the living room smell okay again, but the small, nagging headache I've had for days has dialed itself down several notches. This is good.
Kid Two and The Girlfriend--plus bunny--will arrive tomorrow night. The upstairs is ready after last weekend's guest, but the downstairs is in chaos. I'm kind of weird about how I don't want The Girlfriend to see how we really live. She grew up the low end of wealthy, apparently, and always had a housekeeper or cleaning staff. But the apartment she shares with Kid Two is a pigsty, so what do I care?
I guess I'm not competing with her but with her parents, eh?

Update from my back yard orchard:
Enough Concord grapes for a full batch of jelly.
Enough Catawba grapes for another full batch of jelly.
Enough grapes left over for a gallon of wine (75% Concord and 25% Catawba)
Enough peaches (skinned, sliced, and frozen) to make four cobblers
Enough blueberries for a pie
Apples not quite ready for harvest, but I may have to get them a little early as the squirrels are taking bites out of many rather than eating a few to the core.
From other sources (mostly the local U-pick):
Enough blackberries for either a full batch of jam (with some left over) or a gallon of wine
Enough strawberries for either a full batch of jam or a gallon of wine

I'm glad this week is almost over. I had to put down one of the cats on Monday. She was fifteen. We'd had her since she was a kitten.

It's pretty cool, that Kid Two's girlfriend is starting to feel at ease with us, and we with her. They've been together a lot of years for their ages, but everybody's finally relaxing.

Sorry to hear that K. We had to put our cat down a few years ago. I don't think I've cried so hard in years. But at least we had her for 18. So, she had a long life.
Maryn, glad to hear things are better in that area finally.
I went with some friends to the Chicago Botanical Gardens yesterday. How was everyone else's weekend?
