President's Day 09

We had a nice President's Day today.
It started early, for a holiday! Shaun was out the door at 7:30 for a doctor's appointment at 8. Duff had to be at the dentist at 8, and Darla needed to be at the groomer by 8:30. Three places and two cars meant that I had to be up too. We left Christine to sleep in, and Shaun took one car and I dropped Duff off at the dentist (his first crown!) and then drove to the doggy spa.
Got home and got cleaned up for the day just in time to go back and pick up Duff. He did fine. What? He was supposed to be freaked out, gag during the impressions so that they have to repeat them 3 times while the dentist and his assistant help him do lamaze breathing and rub his back, and cringe at the sound of the drill. Oh, wait that's me! Ha Ha!
As long as he was doing fine, and as long as we were already out, we headed in the pouring rain to Lowe's to get some new undercounter bulbs. How long have they been burned out? And why have we procrastinated making the 10 minute drive to Lowe's to get replacements? Who knows, but now they are fixed. With the holiday and rain, the roads and store were literally like a ghost town. No one was out!
Mike and Adrianne came over mid-day. I did Monday laundry. Duff and Christine went to Borders so she could get some more books to read. That gal has turned into a reading machine! Adrianne embroidered, I finished the hawaiian applique on my square, the boys gamed. Then our bbq went bust because of the rain, so we grilled inside on the grill pan and had a tasty dinner, completed with a cherry pie in George Washington's honor!
FHE and then 24!
