My hubby wants to go out to camp this weekend and see how it fared the long cold winter.  We’re not planning to spend a lot of time, just a quick look-see.  We’ll probably leave the baby with my mother-in-law because it really won’t be any fun for the baby, and I’d just as soon not bring him with us on this trip, just in case my hubby needs my help.  Now that the baby is walking it is hard to get things done sometimes!  We’ll be bringing the chain saw and work gloves with us in case we have to cut our way in!  I hope that we don’t find any major damage to it!  It has been a very snowy winter!

We need new shutters for our house.  Since we live in a duplex, beside my hubby’s parents, we want to co-ordinate with them how the outside of the house is fixed up.  Last year we put new vinyl siding on the house; this year we were planning to put new shutters on it.  My mother-in-law is coming over tomorrow to sit down with me and look at different shutter styles from the larsonshutter.com website to see if there are any styles and colors that we both like.  They have a great variety of styles and colors, so I’m sure we will be able to pick out something!

Last night when we were trying to drift off to sleep we heard the eeriest sounds.  It sounded like a child screeching in terror.  We jumped out of bed and went outside in our pajamas and bathrobes, taking our flashlights to see if we could find out what it was, just in case it really WAS a child being killed by some crazy person, but we couldn’t find anything since the sound had stopped.  That sound haunted me all night and I didn’t sleep a wink.  My hubby suggested that it might have been the death cry of a rabbit; he had heard that it makes a bone-chilling scream when it dies.  Of course I hate to think of that, but I guess it’s better than a child being hurt!

I love going to home tours.  Every now and then some kind of club will sponsor a home tour where people pay money to go through other people’s houses to see what the inside of their houses look like.  The money often goes to some kind of charity or good cause.  I like to go to them because it gives me the chance to get decorating ideas (and it lets me see how the wealthy people in the area live!)  There also is the chance that you might get some tasty refreshments and meet some nice people while you are at it!

My hubby has a three day weekend this weekend, in honor of Columbus Day.  So we are packing up the car for a long weekend at camp.  This is when we are going to prepare the camp for the winter, make sure that everything is all set and good to go.  We’ll be going for one last boat ride, enjoying the beautiful foliage reflecting off of the lake, and then we’ll be bringing in the dock and hauling the boat to the storage yard where they can clean it up, winterize it and shrink wrap it for the winter.

We’ll be bringing all of the linens home to keep any rodents from nesting in them, and we’ll be putting out decon traps to keep them from making our place their winter home.  It’s supposed to be good weather so I’m looking forward to the last camp outing of the season.
