Holiday Weekend II

I got a ton of listings up early last week. I started listing my watches and the first couple auctions ended today. Not too shabby for my $5.00 investment...sold four today for a total of 78.00.
Ellie had two games last week and they won them both. They are in second place with a 7-1 record. She has a couple games this coming week before her tournament on Saturday.
I watched the twins on Wednesday. They both took nice naps for me and had lunch. They were fun to be with.
My friend, Lee, was in town. We were able to go walking around Weber Center on Wednesday night after the kids were in bed. We spent Thursday together. I took her to her doctor appointment and did some thrifting while we were in a different neighborhood. I picked up a bunch of Mary Kay make-up and some craft kits. We came back here and I listed the Mary Kay. I had 16 boxes and I have already sold 12 of them.
Friday morning we left for Michigan. I woke up to about a dozen sales - which is always good but we were trying to get on the road. Ellie helped me and we got all the items packaged and ready. We were able to get to The Detroit area before rush hour. We did some shopping before heading to Greenfield Village for the. Halloween event. The weather was great and we weren't cold. Ellie was. Mary Poppins, Nick was Bert, Rob and I were Ernie and Bert from Sesame Street. I think we all looked fabulous. We were asked to stand in many people's pictures. We picked up dinner on our way to our hotel.
Saturday morning we did some thrifting on the way back to Greenfield Village and Henry Ford. We walked through the museum and then the village. It was another beautiful day. We ate in the village and walked until we were tired. We went back to the hotel and had dinner and swam. I mastered the skill of listing on the go. I had found a couple costumes and Halloween things that I wanted to get up and take advantage of weekend shoppers.
Sunday we had breakfast and got on the road. We stopped off in Lansing for ice cream from the Dairy Store. We stopped in Fennville and picked apples at Cranes. We got to the cottage around 3:00 in the afternoon. We turned the heaters on and accessed the food situation. We went into town to pick up food for night and morning and went back to the cottage. The trees all this past weekend were at their peak - awesome and beautiful. Pew wine t for a walk around the park and to the beach. The kids picked beach glass. When we got back home, Ellie said she felt she was getting a headache. We had dinner and got the kids ready for bed. It was early but Ellie didn't look good and Nick was tired. We got called up a couple times for noises. The acorns were dropping from the trees and hitting the roof and making a bunch of noise. Rob went up and told them a story and they were out.
Today we got the cottage ready for winter and luckily, Ellie woke up in better shape than she went to sleep in. We locked up and were on the road around lunch time. We took our time driving home and enjoying the fall colors. We got home just as the rain started. We all emptied the car and started putting our things away. I worked on packaging up all my items that sold this weekend. We had dinner and got the kids up for bed.
It was such a great weekend. I think we really needed to get away.visualizing my healthy and continually healing body and the new normal, Tree
