Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was very nice. I spent time with my Mom on Saturday. On Sunday, my daughter and I went out for our traditional Mother's Day banana split, and then we saw my mother-in-law for dinner.
Family visits are so different between my family and my husband's. My family (and I) like to have a solid plan (times, places, who's bringing what, etc.). I feel like that reduces a lot of stress. My husband's family tends to leave things to the last minute, and even then things aren't exactly planned. My husband claims his family likes surprises. To me, it seems like no one can make a decision. I've had to learn to breathe and roll with it when dealing with his family, so I don't make myself crazy, even when things run late and what we're eating can end up being decided by what's still available. (Breathe...) LOL. But it all went well in the end.
And we had new internet service installed in our house today, which thankfully, went as smoothly as possible. The tech had to drill through an outer wall to bring in the fiber optic cable. Afterward, he said, "This house is over 100 years old, isn't it?" I confirmed that it is. He said he could tell because the outer walls are very solid and you don't see that in newer homes. So, I guess despite this old house needing a fair amount of work, there are some upsides.
So, that's my story. What's yours? Please, check in and let us know how your week is going!
