Had a really good weekend. With Rick gone from early Friday morning till Sunday afternoon, Ricky and I got a lot done, plus had fun.

Saturday morning Ricky decided to haul all the junk behind the garage to the recycle place. I was so glad he did this and whenever he does, I let him keep all the money for the junk. Right now prices are low so he only got $45, but it pays for gas for a week.

I went to town also and trimmed a couple of shrubs at Mom's house. Well, I started to and the young man I rent to came out and did most of it. They are such great people and I really am blessed to have them taking such great care of Mom's house. Probably next weekend I'll go back and powerwash the siding. It doesn't look bad, but Mom would have wanted it cleaned before it gets worse so that's what I'll do.

Ricky stopped by to see if I needed any help after he hauled the junk, but we were pretty much done, so we both headed home. We both came back and got on our computers for a bit and I also did laundry. Then we decided to go to Lafayette to eat supper at Red Lobster. They built a new one and we were really wanting to see the place. Well, Ricky went in and there was going to be 1.5 hour wait and since we both were really hungry, we went to a place called Logan's Roadhouse. The food there is soooo good and we both left stuffed..lol

Sunday I paid our bills and gave the dogs a bath and Ricky mowed the yard. He is such a great young man and helps me in so many ways.

We both could sure tell the difference in the air when Rick got home...it's a shame that it's that way.
