Coming up on another weekend. This week went by pretty quickly. And the next couple of days of course go the quickest.
Lot’s of problems at work this week, I guess that helps make the days go by quickly. Because I never get to what I plan to do. Last weekend we were home and got a lot done. Saturday we bought Chris a Nook, the Barnes and Noble version of an electronic reader. It is pretty cool, she can easily download a book when she wants a new one. She will be spending some time with Mary Jane after she has her tonsil surgery in just over a week. So while she is baby sitting she will probably be doing a lot of reading.
And I finally got around to ordering some new glasses. The last pair we had a teflon coating on, which they said made it easier to clean, which it did. But I also swear it made it get dirtier that much faster. They seemed to attract dust, dirt , when they got near skin they smeared. So I was happy to get a new pair. I was at the eye doctor a few weeks back. I had to wait a month to get in, that was probably a mistake to wait rather than go anywhere else. The time before, a few years back, I had gone to one of the optical place and the doctor there did a good job of my prescription. Here the eye ‘technicians’ did all of the work and the doctor waltzed in at the end. And I took vision insurance this year which was supposed to cover most of the eyewear cost also. So I looked at glasses at the doctors office and they had to call me back with the cost a couple of days later. They needed $300 for the glasses. That just did not seem like a good deal. So we stopped at eye mart express Saturday which was also in the vision plan. They treated us well, I picked out similar glasses and no line bifocals that I had looked at, and a pair of sunglasses with a straight distance lens, and got both those for $125. What a racket.
Last weekend was Oshkosh Irish fest. Chris and I went to Sunday Mass and then I was serving beer for 4 hours. Chris hung around and listened to music, and we both spent more time there when I was done working. They did a nice job, but had rain and cloudy weather. Still a decent crowd, and I guess did OK Saturday.
Wednesday night was my homebrew club meeting. We have a pretty large group and some good brewers. The problem is trying to taste too much! And last night was Oshkosh Waterfest, 2 local band that I like a lot were there, and then Little River Band was the headliner. Chris was in Appleton, her group was serving supper to a Women’s group that is building a Habitat for Humanity home. So she was doing good and I was listening to good music. I met lot’s of friends and the weather was great. Tonight we are missing the storms that are hitting Milwaukee. I planted some of the flower seeds my sister in law gave me and pulled some weeds. Now we are heading out to listen to a friend who plays in a blues band. Tomorrow night to Milwaukee to have dinner with Skip and Claire, and spend some time with Mom!
Everyone else have a great weekend also! Sounds like good weather in Wisconsin.
