What a day! I'm gonna sleep good tonight! Mike and Adrianne arrived safely for the festivities and now we only have one more group of family to come.
Mr. Rosie. He was working on his breakfast of--yes--corn pops! Funny bird. Gramma and Grandpa spoil him. I tried to get a picture of him holding a pop in his foot and eating it, but he wouldn't cooperate for me. Look at those 'rosey' cheeks--hence his name. They raised him when he fell out of his nest in Greg's aviary. Like Darla, he doesn't quite get that he is an animal!
We headed off to Josh and Mere's. Packing and cleaning were on the agenda. We got a TON done, and thanks to Meredith's organization and previous packing, there is not much left to do. Now they can relax some and just enjoy the graduation without too much stressing. Dad and Mere working on boxes and the movies.
We put Shaun and Josh on cleaning detail. With the pictures to prove it! Shaun and Josh worked on the laundry room--cleaned the washer and dryer, mopped all the floors on their hands and knees did all the baseboards. Shaun wringing out his rag.
Then they moved on to the kitchen floor. Josh is working hard. Yes, even all my boys can clean well.
Boo hoo. Empty kitchen, except for the bike. Meredith had it soooo cute and homey. I got the microwave and stovetop all deep cleaned. Another plug for Bar Keepers Friend--it is amazing! Those stove plates look like they are brand new right from the store packaging!
Meredith and Dad taking their very huge bed apart. All the finials and hardware in one ziploc bag labeled in the nightstand top drawer.
Meredith is organized. This end of the living room is all the stuff that is going with them to her parents for the next couple of months. They are staying with them while Josh studies for and takes the bar.
This side is all the stuff going to the storage unit.
Bathroom just about done. We put the boys on this detail too. It's all done except for the sink and mirror, right down to the baseboards. With all the work divided up, we got so much done.
Then to Auntie's for dinner. Build your own Taco Salad was the menu. It hit the spot on this hot day. Gramma, Grandpa, Mike, Auntie, Adrianne, Shaun.
All the goodies.
Another view. The meat and beans and family made taco/hot sauce is on the stove staying warm.

The guys got in the pool and cooled off and played some 'horse'. Auntie has a basketball hoop at one end of the pool. It has provided many a fun time over the last 19 years! The girls talked, read books, and I did some handwork. I did go out for a while and soak my feet while sitting on the decking. If I hadn't left my 'suit' at my mom's I would have jumped right in. It was so nice.
More big things tomorrow!
