Well... it is what it is...

So today, Scott headed off on what is kind of his first service call. Him and Chris went to Tallmadge last week and that was a very quick trip. Today, they were off to Erie, PA. Its now almost 7 PM and I haven't heard from him, so I am going to assume they are still working on the robot. (how cool is that, you get play with and repair robots... as a kid growing up.. Robots were just becoming real, so I am sure lots of geeks in our time, dreamed of playing with Robots....) Anyway.. back to my thoughts. It feels weird for him to not be home or to know when to expect him. But its a quiet evening here and I kind of like that.

I cant believe this is the last week of "summer". The kids went back to school today. It just all went by way to quick. I didn't get done what I wanted to get done and there is really so much more planned for the fall months.

Scott's mom had her Knee Replacement Surgery yesterday... It went well (as I expected!) she'll be running laps around all of us here soon. She will be happy that she had it done.

This past weekend, we really didn't do a whole heck of a lot. Friday night, we just kind of relaxed and watched a movie. Saturday, we got up, did some running around. Hit the Geauga Farmers Market. But since I had just cleaned out moms garden of tomatoes & eggplants and picked up corn from the Twinsburg Farmers Market the night before. We really didn't need much. So we headed over to Joeys in Chargin Falls for lunch, we both ordered different pizzas. I wasn't in the mood for your typical red sauce, pepperoni/sausage pizza... I get so tired of that! I ordered one with artichokes, tomatoes, chicken and a white garlic sauce. Actually the crust was the best part of their pizza.. it wasn't overly thick and it wasn't a thin crust, just perfect and real. It looked like it was made in grandmas oven, that was the best!
After that, Scott decided he wanted to reread The Little Prince, so we started a hunt for it. I remember my Aunt Elaine giving me that book and I remember how much I loved it (what ever happened to that book). Anyway, after two off the wall book stores we weren't having much luck... so I'll probably just get it on the net.

We decided we were going to go see the Matinee of Death Race. Its a remake of a movie with Sylvester Stallone & David Carradine. The only thing in this remake that even resembled the original, is the names of two of the cast (Frankenstein & Joe). If you go to see it, just don't expect a remake and its not a bad movie then. Its not one of my top 10 movies or even the top 25, but its worth a peak... The best part was the previews, looks like Paul Walker and Vin Diesel are coming back with another Fast & Furious. I don't care how bad it is... Paul Walker is in it. I am there! There was another preview, but since I am horrible with movies, its escaping me right now.
Saturday evening we jumped on the bike for a little evening ride. Started out going to Hudson for Coffee at Starbucks. Not quite sure why I ordered two talls for us. It was still hot out and we couldn't take them with us... DUMB!!! after there we headed the long way to downtown. By long way, I mean, we headed to Peninsula, Bath, Breaksville and then to the East 9Th Street Pier and headed back home, It was a nice 70 mile trip out for the evening.
All & all the weekend was what weekends should be for us. But they don't come around to often, with so much other stuff going on.
This weekend, I have high hopes for doing a lot of things. I hope we get to take the bike down to the Barn in Smithville for dinner.. Saturday I hope we make it out to see Logan, Stuff around the house that needs to be done. I hope we get to visit some other friends too, but we will see. Honestly, I wish we had the time and & money to make the trip to Birmingham for the weekend, just to see everyone and say hey!
But that will have to be saved for another day!
