On another nice day, I finally got the umph to get to work in the storeroom downstairs. It has not been organized since we moved in 3 1/2 years ago. So this afternoon, I got started. I threw away 4 bags of stuff (the BIG bags) and have about 4 bags to take to the thrift shop. So whoever it was who told me not to leave all that stuff for Carrie to deal with.....well..... I dealt with it today! Chico had a blast rummaging through the pile of throwaway stuff. Mario worked all day at QND, so it was just Chico and me, and we got about halfway through.

Carrie called from Moline just now. The soccer team won their game, 4-1. Blake had to leave the game with about 10 minutes left when an opponent kicked him in the shin. He has a pretty nasty bruise on that birdleg of his. It is always a physical game when QHS plays Moline. Just glad they got out of there without any worse injuries.

Talked to Makenna and Chris on the web cam this morning. They were heading to the baseball game this evening, and tomorrow Chris and Maria have great seats for the Cardinals-49ers game.
