Get in the car, take Bobby to work, kids to swim camp, then to Home Depot for bolts to put up the new curtain rod supports.  When we got to swim camp Robert didn't want to go so he went with us to Home Depot.  They rode in the AWESOME basket and James didn't want to get out when we were done.  

Then to the Hancock Fabrics to see if they have adequate curtain fabric.   While we were waiting for the stores to open we watched the trucks and steam rollers and tractors and big machines that were spreading new parking lot asphalt.  The boys thought that was worth the trip.   

Robert likes to make funny faces when he gets his picture taken.  

We looked at ready made curtains at Kohls and fabric at Hancock Fabrics and learned that it will cost $5 more to get them ready made, with no work so Susan will watch for a sale there at Kohls and get them then.
When we got home Jer put on the curtain rod supports and we cleaned out the guinea pig cage.  It took a while but it was worth it.  
In the afternoon Alice had piano lessons and Jer and Susan fixed the drain hose from the water barrel overflow to the downspout.  

For dinner Susan wanted to order Mediterranean food so we had schwarma beef kabobs with rice and a homemade tabbouli.  It was all really good.  Dessert was watermelon and James decided he had a piece that looked like a car (oo-oo) that he drove around his tray before he ate it.
