Life is Just Rolling Along

Okay, so last week was a busy one! 

Tuesday both teens had dentist appointments at a new dentist. The dentist they had been going to just didn't have a very good bedside manner and neither did the office staff. So, I found a new one that came highly recommended and they also take our dental insurance! The teens were happy, though both now have referrals to an oral surgeon for wisdom teeth removal. And teen daughter's recommendation is to get them removed before she leaves for France in two months! Yikes!

Late Tuesday teen son and I left for the upstate so we could attend his college orientation on Wednesday. We didn't get to our little house in the woods until about 8:30 pm. As soon as I pulled up to the house I noticed one of the blinds on the front door was open. I ALWAYS leave them closed because I don't want anyone to wander up and be able to look in and decide that they would like to break in to take what looks good to them! Now, husband and I haven't been up there since we were up at Christmas time and no one else was supposed to have been there. So, I walk up to the front door and as I get ready to put the key in the lock in the door knob I give it a try first. And it isn't locked! The deadbolt IS locked so the door doesn't open. I am always the last one to come out of the house and so I am the one that locks up. I know that the door knob was locked because I always double check after I have pulled the door closed. Teen son and I walk in and I immediately notice that all the bedroom doors and the bathroom door downstairs are closed! Again, I am the last to leave the house (I am always making one last bathroom stop) and there is no way I would have shut all the doors! In the meantime teen son grabs a big stick he had found the previous summer and had left by the front door and he is walking around holding it like a bat and flinging the doors open. Right before he opens the last door I notice a light coming from under it. When he opens it there is a nightlight, that is from the bathroom, in there and it is on! The last time we were up there was no reason to have a nightlight on in that room because it was just husband and I and we sleep in the upstairs bedroom. Also, we both always go around checking to make sure everything is turned off when we leave. Anyway, to make a long story short, someone had to have been in our house. They weren't there when we got there and they left everything very neat and orderly! I am going to have the locks changed next week and hopefully whoever stayed there won't be able to get back in! Isn't that crazy?!

Orientation was great! Son registered for classes and has his schedule for the fall. He was very impressed with all the cute girls that were there! We were able to take a tour of the apartment complex where all of the students in this particular program live.... it's nicer than any place I lived in the first five years I was married! 

 After orientation was over we headed back to the cabin where we relaxed for awhile and then headed to the clubhouse for dinner. I had an awesome fried haddock with homemade onion rings. We hung out there for awhile before heading back to the house. We watched a movie, that we both had seen before, and then I headed to bed. 

We got home Thursday afternoon. Friday I met some friends for lunch. Saturday was spent catching up on things that had not been done while I was gone. Then that evening I had pokeno night with my girls! It was a lot of fun and the hostess made greek food, which was amazing!

Sunday all four of us went to mass. I think this was the first time in many weeks that we were all able to go. That afternoon husband and I attended a 50th wedding anniversary party for an longtime friend of ours. 

Yesterday I had a staff meeting at Middleton Place. It feels so weird to have a job after not having worked for the last 8 or so years! Last night was book club, which is always fun. We discussed The Stepford Wives,  which was our book for this month. Such a creepy story!

What have you been up to?
