Good evening everyone.  I had a wonderful day and we are just sitting down to watch Survivor now.   As I have mentioned before, Greg gets up before the crack of dawn on weekends, and when I get up, he is always outside working on, or building something so it is not unusual for me not to see him for hours after I get up.  I rolled out of bed around 9:00.  About 9:30, he came inside and gave me a card and my peach roses (I had told him before to please not get me a present because we have spent so much on the kitchen so far and it is a wonderful gift for me).  He said Chris had just pulled up and a few minutes later, he came in and gave me flowers and a card.  I asked him what his dad was doing outside and he said &quot;oh, you know him, he is just piddling&quot;.   It was about 11:30 before I ventured outside, after putting in my contacts, doing my make-up and hair and getting dressed.  I was so surprised - Greg had dismantled our old patio table and chairs, and in it&#39;s place stood the exact set I had showed him at Lowe&#39;s last week.  Our old one was getting rusty and the swivel/rocker chairs were in bad shape.  I also had told him that I wanted some built-in benches in the gazebo and wanted to get some hanging flower baskets for in there.  Can you believe it - it was all done.  He was just working on painting the benches.  What surprises me the most is that he actually heard what I said when I was talking about what I would like to do outdoors sometime in the future.  He is a master at looking like he is listening to me and I know he isn&#39;t really hearing what I am saying.  We have several sets of houseguests coming this summer - the first will be in about 4 weeks and in my mind, I had thought about how nice it would be if it was all done by then, but never dreamed it would happen.  Plus, he balked at the price of the patio set when I showed it to him - guess that was just to throw me off&#33;  Our other son and grandson came over around noon and we all went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch.  It was my &quot;last hurrah&quot; before getting serious about getting the lbs. off tomorrow.  Yeah, I know I have said it before, but I keep telling myself that if I don&#39;t give up, I can&#39;t fail&#33;&#33;&#33;  I hope all of you mom&#39;s had a great day.   Tonia, I LOVE french toast.  When I was pregnant with our first child, Greg decided to surprise me with french toast in bed.  He can&#39;t cook now and he couldn&#39;t cook then.  He had seen me make it, so thought he could figure it out.  He laid 2 slices of bread in the skillet (with no oil or shortening and it wasn&#39;t a non-stick pan) and poured an egg over them.  Needless to say, it was one of those times that it truly was the thought that counted because they were entirely inedible.  Well, all of you Crazies, I hope you have a wonderful week....
