[QUOTE="ksm, post: 689732, member: 12511"] I have worked on my front flower beds. A couple days ago I finished getting the annual flowers I had bought planted. Today I put five bags of mulch on the beds. Just doing that made the front of the house look so much better. Today and tomorrow are clean the house days. On Saturday we head 200 miles away to pick up DFES (dear foreign exchange student) and his wife. He spent a year with us over 20 years ago. A year or so later we took a 4 week trip to Europe and saw 5 of our previous students. The last DFES we hosted turns 21 today. I feel bad, as older Difficult Child just started 8th grade that year, and that is when her mood swings got worse... Plus, she never wanted to include little sis when DFES was home. On the rare times that Difficult Child was gone, DFES and little sis got along and enjoyed being together. Now that Difficult Child had moved in with my DS (was her step dad before we adopted) husband said maybe we could consider having one more when little sis is a senior, one more school year, if this summer, when we host an Irish teen for a month, goes well. husband had a consult with a neurosurgeon for his back, but only conservative treatments are suggested for now. He has 3 discs in lower back that are bulging... We are now waiting for epidural injections to be scheduled. Need to shop today for our guests. I will buy a case of bottled water for them...I don't usually buy that for us, even though I recycle all that I can I just don't like the idea of all the plastic. I also want to buy some fresh fruits, deli type meat, cheese and crackers to put in the cooler. On the long drive home, we plan to stop of a national park for a short break and a picnic, it is a tall grass prairie preserve in the flint hills of KS. Not a lot to see or do, but the vastness and rolling hills have their own beauty. KSM [/QUOTE]
