Oh what a gorgeous day!

It was absolutely gorgeous outside today! We took advantage of that and spent the majority of our time outside! Early August and it was in the upper 70’s with a nice fall like breeze. Wow!

We had the girls outside in their bouncy seats (slept the majority of the time) and Joseph either scootered, asked for a new bike or did slip-n-slide on the new SpiderMan slip-n-slide he got for his birthday. Unfortunately, we missed the kids up the street by probably an hour — they were heading in to eat as Joseph was heading out to play. Next time, then.

Ron and I thoroughly cleaned our cars. I steam cleaned my floor mats, floors, seats, etc. because my car has started to smell “old”. It’s that oil, engine kind of smell that makes me want to trade it in (not an option though). And, I like my car, so I want to keep it longer (and it’s paid for!).

Ron bought one of those Mr. Clean AutoDry CarWash things that he’s been eying for a bit. I was reluctant until Consumer Reports did a test on them and found them to be quite worthwhile. Basically, it meant no drying the cars, which we did each and every time we washed.

We ended our day by going out for dinner to Bob Evans, which wasn’t as good as I’d hoped, and heading to Toys R Us for a new bike for Joseph! Once he rides it I’ll write and update. Probably will be tomorrow.

So, we used it on the cars and sure enough, it did a great job! We now recommend them, too!
