The beautiful weather of yesterday gave way to cloudy skies and rain today and that's suppose to stay around here for most of the week. At least we were able to get one of our outside jobs done yesterday while we had some sun.

John made a very nice breakfast this morning of bacon, eggs, toast, and tea. After eating, we got cleaned up and headed to church for the Sunday service. Since it was Mother's Day, John decided to take me out for dinner. We hit the road to Bemidji where we ate at the Ground Round--I enjoyed a nice steak with baked potato and salad (my favorite meal). From there we went to Menard's where we bought a couple of Adirondack chairs that were on sale. We needed a couple of new chairs for our screened porch--our older chairs were ripped, falling apart, and needed to be replaced. John and I made one last stop at LM Fleet Farm to pick up the chainsaw part that he ordered last week.

When we returned home, I found several Mother's Day cards from JD's kids. They must have stopped over while we were gone this afternoon. Matt came over this evening. John went down to the shop with him to lacquer the skull mounts that were made last week. The deer skulls that were sitting in the office are now gone, thank goodness. My evening was spent watching the finale of The Amazing Race.
