GOT AROUND EARLY as we knew we'd be attending a CROSS COUNTRY meet. We found a nice place to park our small auto along one of the roads and waited out the rain. Because of lightening and thunder, the race was set back until noon so I decided that we'd go shopping at ALDI for some organic greens to tide me over for a few days as we were getting low on them.
Off we went to ALDI and picked up what we needed and drove back to the race. It poured as we drove and it poured as we drove back to the race, but we found a decent place to park the car. I got to hug Lil Miss before her race and wish her well then I walked aways down the field to see her run. Off she went running the Country Club grounds.
124 girls in this Invitational Meet. She ran a very good race even with the grounds being saturated with the rain coming down rather hard. I positioned myself with a umbrella to see her in about five different places in the run. The temperatures were at 59 degrees, gray skies, much rain and was officially the first day of sweater weather. AUTUMN starts in 12 days, but I think the weather has a mind of its own. Hello AUTUMN.
It is a thrill to cheer her own. She placed FIRST PLACE. Last year on this course she placed fifth so to come in FIRST was awesome. The girls are amazing to run this sport. As I watched the girls cross over the finish line, many can hardly walk after the run. Out of breath and wobbly on their feet. I don't think there were any injuries this go round.
Lil Miss ran a super RACE. SO proud of her as she gives it her all and trains at this sport. Her parents are very supportive and share advice with her as they know the sport.
Gathering under the team's tent, quick plans were made to have soup for lunch with Daughter, Son-in-Law and Baby C joining us. We didn't stay after her run, but returned HOME so I could fix some SOUP. Hubby helped me get things ready.
Soaked through and through. Quickly changed my clothes and picked up piles of paper in the Living room making ready for the GRAND SON that would be coming to the house. He crawls, stands on his own, sits up really well and wants his hands on most everything. His smiles are precious and was a treat to see him as it was to see my kids.
He is a very busy lil guy and fast. It was fun to have him visit. We ate and chatted some before the Kids left. Hubby and I took a nap. I decided that I will take the rest of the day easy.
The Living room looks so much better when I can see the rugs on the floor. I didn't have time to vacuum before they arrived, but will later tonight since the mess is gone.
Not sure what kind of week-end we'll have. It is really nice to be indoors on these wet days where we can stay warm and dry. Tomorrow, I might paint the Cottage Kitchen Cabinet. I'd like to vacuum over there as the carpets are seriously needing it to make areas clean where some pieces of furniture are going to be. We are making some plans to transfer some furniture sometime this month.
A sewing machine, a church pew, two curio cabinets and a corner cabinet. My plan is to finish thinning out and organizing old papers, then clear out the upstairs junk room as hubby finishes out the Cottage shed and moves onto he Cottage Bathroom. I'll be painting in the Cottage when I can. One room at a time. Many decorating thoughts have come to mind. When I can switch back to the main house, I will be painting there as well. Soooooo a painting I must go. Cold weather is coming on...I'm not ready for it. Not sure where my SUMMER went. Disappeared right before me.
If I could be doing anything at all, what would it be? Where would I go? Not sure. That's the way it goes.
Think I will watch an old movie and call it good.
