In other news, DH went and visited our old neighbor, to take him a little bit of our leftover topsoil for his yard. We didn't know their old dog passed away earlier, and now I guess their other dog has been so sad. So, I just texted his wife, to say I just heard about their old dog and sorry and about their other dog being sad. She said no! her dh just wants another dog, so keeps saying she is sad, LOL. We also made some plans to all go out to dinner one day next week.
And that awful renter we lived next door to for 2 years? He has also finally moved out. DH says our old place now is starting to look like the crappy house on the street. the guy has cars parked all over, even on the vacant lot next to him (that he doesn't own). The new house that got built, on the other side of rental house, is done now.
The nice young guy that helped the topsoil screening crew lives about 5 miles from us. He texted DH Tuesday night that they can hear the elk bugling out in the fields where they live. So, at 9pm we took a drive out there and stopped the car and listened to them. DH thought it was so cool, haha. He's getting texts/pics from his friends getting their elk kills (it's bow season). Our neighbor we lived across the street from in town is an avid hunter and he's been out trying every day. He's also very secretive about where he hunts and won't even tell DH (who doesn't hunt). He'll joke "I got it in no name gulch". Then he kept texting DH asking "where'd you go to hear those elk bugling". DH was like I'm not sure...I think it was called no name gulch. LOL
We ran into the city after I was done with work yesterday and picked up groceries at Walmart. Still loving the online order and pick up. Such a time saver. Though somehow I accidentally clicked on 2 loaves of white bread, which I don't need. We barely finish one (we mostly eat wheat bread). Usually I put half of one in the freezer, now I have 1 and a half in the freezer and I'm full up. We need to get a small chest freezer for the garage.
They are predicting a few inches of snow at our level, so I can imagine how much will be in the pass. They are calling it a historic snow storm on it's way. I'm glad I'm not driving in it, but such bad timing, darn it. I don't know how many times I've had to tell my mom DD will be there at 9am Saturday. Does she have enough room to take it all? yes, they have a truck with a canopy. Yes they have a big house and garage (it's not that much stuff, LOL).
Oh, and I had sent my stepbrother an email asking if he thought her sale would still close on Monday. He said yes and that he had "an attorney" look over the contract. OMG. Why couldn't he have just said, "I had K (his brother's wife) look it over"? So, dumb.
Had to laugh. After we planted our little trees (which looked like sticks), I looked at them daily to see if anything was sprouting. Thankfully, they eventually did. Hard to tell on the grass. Time will tell. Hope the weather doesn't cause it any harm.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame about your old house. I never understand why some people don't take more pride in what they own. Just keeping things picked up does wonders.
Neat about the elk. Wonder if you'll ever see one in your yard.
Glad things are moving along with your mom's place.
From what we've been told the seeds will just go dormant and then sprout in spring. We've only seen deer in our yard. DH saw a bunch of turkeys nearby the other day when he left for town.
