Strawberry Lovin' Baby

Thursday morning I woke up with a case of the bed spins not due to a hard night of drinking. Apparently I was struck with a bit of viral labyrinthitis which messes up your inner ear and balance. Not fun. Reminded me of the stadol (if that's how it's spelled) at the hospital. That hung around for a while and luckily Andy was home all day to watch Bright while I slept most of the day. Friday was a low key day- stopped at the library- Andy drove thankfully, because I was still a bit dizzy, went to the small playpark right around the corner, and just enjoyed the lake. Saturday we did some grocery shopping and made the mistake of watching the beginning of Wild Hogs. What a bad movie. Our great library has a wonderful new release section there and the librarian checks on Netflix to see which movies have gotten good reviews from viewers and orders those for the collection. We can get just about anything there for free so we go there pretty often. That movie was just not for me, maybe at a different stage in life I would find it funnier. Same thing with 27 Dresses. That one was very similar to a lot of other movie. So much so that Andy and wondered what other movie it was modeled after. So, some hits there- some misses but free, free, free!

Sunday we took Bright to grandma and grandpa's so we could go pick strawberries. He has a new swing there and tried it out for the first time. Loved it! It's shaped like a cruiser car and doesn't require any drilling into the tree. We got it at Lowes for 24 bucks and is good for 3 years or 55 pounds. The berries were pretty good. Not nearly as sweet as the berries in Oregon- but those were so sweet that they would go to mush soon after picking them. We picked 15 quarts, gave a bunch to mom and dad and froze all but three. Bright loves them. He was very pushy about eating as many as possible, as fast as possible.

Pictures to come later. Blogger is having a bad day loading them onto my page :(
