A Quiet, but productive evening...

After dropping off Ron's kids back in their hometown, we took the long, and somewhat lonely drive back home. It was also the first time we'd left the boys for more than a couple of hours, so we were a bit anxious as to what trouble they'd gotten themselves into. 

But it was worrying for nothing, they were fine (of course!) and very happy to see us.  There's something so wonderful about being greeted at the door, with squeaks and purrs and meows, with upturned tails and a happy tilt to their ears.  It makes me very happy to be home.

To distract ourselves from the emptiness of the kids' absence (it's always a wrench, esp. for Ron) that we got busy... busy in the kitchen that is!  We reorganized the pantry to make room for the kitty supplies, retied the tomato plants, which are threatening to take over the backyard, and watered the garden.  By the time is was time to retire, the kitchen and backyard were organized, clean and beautiful!  It's great to live with a partner who enjoys a tidy home... he inspires me to be more tidy as well. (It certainly doesn't come naturally to me, much to my  frustration!)

Today we've got a lot of stuff to do to get organized for the http://3rdnewtonbrookrovers.weebly.com/ Newtonbrook Rovers 50th Anniversary - should be a great weekend.  I'm slated to photo the events, so I've got to get my equipment ready, plus pack for us, get a cake and decorate it with the logo,  could be a fun day!
