Landon up for a quick breakfast with us this morning before Sarah & Ruby took the grandkids to Walmart to have some pictures done. Ruby & Payton went for some shopping after.

Day 2492

A sunny day here today and 36. Its 30 here now.
Landon up for breakfast with us this morning. After breakfast I went into Woodstock to pick up a few things. After lunch I installed some shelving in the new shed and set up a new fridge in there. Then a couple of guys from the concrete company, who poured the floor yesterday, showed up to do 4 cuts in the floor to, hopefully, control the cracking. I then cleaned up things around and in the new shed. After that I went for a dip in the pool to cool down before supper. After supper we all got in the pool before the grand kids went to bed.

Pool day & evening....
