Up at 5:11 this morning. During the week it's hard to tell Tuesday from Wednesday or Thursday from Friday, but Saturday is different. 

I want to do something different on Saturday, something fun.

I made breakfast this morning; bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns. I love feeding my boys. Jared has been so sweet since he has been here. He even unloaded the dishwasher without being asked. Stacy says he is not good about cleaning up after himself but I haven't seen that since he has been here.

With all of the eggs we have been using we are down to one egg. James took an empty egg carton to put in his truck so he would remember to get some eggs from the Crane's. 

James worked outside with Jared until about 10:30. He came in and got ready and we left for town. On the way we stopped at the park and I gave Paula the cookies I had made. It looks like they had a good turn out for Vernon Day.

James needed to pick up a prescription at CVS so that was our first stop. I stayed outside in the truck. He wanted to stop at Kay's for some more bits but they are closed on Saturday. He went in Tractor Supply for some horse feed, Home Depot, and then we went through the drive-thru at Firehouse for lunch. We ordered three regular Hook & Ladders taking one home to JA. 

When we got home I put some beef tips/stew meat in the oven for three hours. We had beef tips and noodles for dinner. 

James put up the hummingbird feeders and the hummingbirds are going crazy. They love sugar water.

My knee is hurting but I was able to walk this evening. I also started a Hallmark movie although I didn't finish it. "Aloha Heart" starring Taylor Cole and some new Hawaiian guy that's ten years younger than she is.

Even though I didn't do anything different today than I do any other day, it was Saturday so it just seemed like it was more fun!
