Coming up on another weekend.  This week went by pretty quickly.  And the next couple of days of course go the quickest.

Lot’s of problems at work this week,  I guess that helps make the days go by quickly.  Because I never get to what I plan to do.    Last weekend we were home and got a lot done.   Saturday we bought Chris a Nook,  the Barnes and Noble version of an electronic reader.  It is pretty cool, she can easily download a book when she wants a new one.    She will be spending some time with Mary Jane after she has her tonsil surgery in just over a week.  So while she is baby sitting she will probably be doing a lot of reading.

And I finally got around to ordering some new glasses.  The last pair we had a teflon coating on,  which they said made it easier to clean, which it did.  But I also swear it made it get dirtier that much faster.  They seemed to attract dust, dirt , when they got near skin they smeared.  So I was happy to get a new pair.  I was at the eye doctor a few weeks back.  I had to wait a month to get in, that was probably a mistake to wait rather than go anywhere else.  The time before, a few years back, I had gone to one of the optical place and the doctor there did a good job of my prescription.  Here the eye ‘technicians’ did all of the work and the doctor waltzed in at the end.   And I took vision insurance this year which was supposed to cover most of the eyewear cost also.  So I looked at glasses at the doctors office and they had to call me back with the cost a couple of days later.  They needed $300 for the glasses.  That just did not seem like a good deal.  So we stopped at eye mart express Saturday which was also in the vision plan.   They treated us well, I picked out similar glasses and no line bifocals that I had looked at, and a pair of sunglasses with a straight distance lens, and got both those for $125.  What a racket.

Last weekend was Oshkosh Irish fest.  Chris and I went to Sunday Mass and then I was serving beer for 4 hours.  Chris hung around and listened to music, and we both spent more time there when I was done working.   They did a nice job, but had rain and cloudy weather.  Still a decent crowd, and I guess did OK Saturday.

Wednesday night was my homebrew club meeting.  We have a pretty large group and some good brewers.  The problem is trying to taste too much!  And last night was Oshkosh Waterfest, 2 local band that I like a lot were there, and then Little River Band was the headliner.   Chris was in Appleton, her group was serving supper to a Women’s group that is building a Habitat for Humanity home.   So she was doing good and I was listening to good music.  I met lot’s of friends and the weather was great.  Tonight we are missing the storms that are hitting Milwaukee.  I planted some of the flower seeds my sister in law gave me and pulled some weeds.   Now we are heading out to listen to a friend who plays in a blues band.  Tomorrow night to Milwaukee to have dinner with Skip and Claire, and spend some time with Mom!

Everyone else have a great weekend also!  Sounds like good weather in Wisconsin.
