Saturday, Finally!

     Blogger has been having some problems I guess.  I again have not been able to post the last two days. 

     I have been busy with the girls and sewing.  All the painting is done for B's apartment and most of the things are up there already.  I still have a hutch that must go up and some sewing of curtains left to do, but other than that the project is almost over.  It will be nice to get it out of the way.

     It was 106 here yesterday and the smoke is very dense.  I have seen it much worse and I hone it does not get that way this year.

     I will have everyone here for dinner tomorrow, and my house is a wreck.  That is what I get for using all my time to sew and then working on B's place.

     There are still 3 bridesmaid dresses and a suit to alter on Monday.  It just never ends around here.

     Lil sis was supposed to take the girls home today but upon calling our Aunt and our cousin it was determined that they should stay until next Friday.  This will fall heavily on Lil sis as I will be leaving Wednesday morning.  But she says she is up to it.  Uncle is getting worse, and Auntie is stressed, our cousin is trying to work full time and drive 45 minutes one way to come and help with her dad when she is not at work.  She has not been able to find a new baby sitter yet for her grand daughter, so we are an option.  This little girl is sweet and fairly well behaved.  But she is 6 and 6 year olds can run your legs off.  Families are forever.

     Hub's and I will drive to Nampa on Wednesday morning and pick up his folks and take them with us to Daughter #1.  We will stay there a couple of days as daughter has some sewing that needs to be done.  Alterations on suits and curtains and things for the new house.  Hub's mom and dad have not been to the new place.  Then we will all take off for the ranch in Ashton to join family and watch the eclipse.  Hub's and I will leave mom and dad as they will ride home with another grandchild and we will take the same trip up to Missoula and back home.  We just made this same loop with Sluggy and her Hubby the first of the month.  But now we get to do it in the smokey haze.:)

I am very tired.

  1. You are making me very tired. I don't know how you do it. My fil came to visit us when my son was about 4. On the second day, the grandfather came to me and told me he was so tired playing with J and he needed rest. I laughed and told him to just say no, that J would keep him as a playmate from daylight to dark. Sit that little girl down with something for her to do quietly for an hour here and there. I can imagine she is lots of fun! All the smoke must be keeping you and her housebound. My lungs are suffering and there is no smoke here. It must be difficult for children and elderly and people with asthma. Hey, I hit two of those. Will there be a total eclipse?

    1. This is the only full eclipse in these parts for the next 90 years. I sit little one down with craft crap from the shop and she entertains herself alot.

  2. Congratulations on making it through Saturday!
    Son3 and GF3 are coming for a 2 week visit, so I have been attacking the nastiness that we usually live with. I have done some of that deep down corner cleaning. It is amazing how much nicer everything looks when it is nice and shiny. Hmmm, so why don't I keep it that way all the time?

    1. Because you would rather read a good book, binge watch netflix and enjoy life. That is why I let it go. Plus the poor spiders need someplace to live.

  3. I can see why you are tired as it makes me tired just reading it. :) We hope to get a glimpse of the eclipse. I'm not sure how much of it we'll see since the path I saw seems to be south of us. We'll try anyway.

    1. I took a nap this Sabbath after church. Then I cooked a big meal, husband is at orchestra practice and I am tempted to go right back to bed:)

  5. Is the smoke from you area or from Canada? I hear it's getting really bad near Vancouver and on Vancouver island. The hot temps are not helping. Heat sure makes me tired so I can understand how you're feeling.
