Had a lovely weekend with family. James was baptized and we all celebrated his 8th birthday. I was able to see my sister-in-law who has cancer, and she looks great but is not through for a long while with treatments.
We flew down and rented a car and then flew home. It was lovely. No 18-hour drive. Plus, we were able to pick up Joel's mom and bring her with and it was so nice to see her. She is pretty darn amazing and will be 96 on her next birthday.
Now I have to face the music of getting all the wedding dresses done for June before I leave for Sissie's house in May. It will come fast.
I need to straighten the shop today and also hem about 12 pairs of pants. I have prom dresses coming in like crazy as the prom for both local schools is May 4th.
I have a wedding dress to finish from last week and I need to start on another two. It is doable if I concentrate and don't go have fun in the yard. The yard is a work in progress with the rock work about 1/2 done. Once that is finished, I can get the sprinklers turned on and figure out what to do about the law as it is 1/2 dead. It is always something isn't it?
Kelsa is here today and tomorrow, but I am really working with her on allowing me to sew and not interrupting me constantly. She is very good. She plays and sings and is a joy most of the time.
On the way down to Boise I put my hand in my purse looking for a pen and pulled out a dead angle worm. It was hard. I think it crawled in there to escape Oliver. Proof that I am a boy Grandma. The clerk laughed so hard when I showed her. I did not search for rollie poly carcasses because I did not want to know. All I can tell you is do not accept chewing gum from the bottom of my purse.
Okay, off to the salt mines I go.

Love everything about the dried worm in your purse! Amazing. Somehow, I must have slacked off for a while, because I'm feeling a bunch of pressure to get things accomplished before I leave for a trip on Sunday. I'm taking my mom on a hiking trip for Mother's Day to Sedona. Should be fun, but it also means I need to kick it into high gear!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting everything done on your end. (Hawaii Planner)
I find I work better under pressure but I am not sure if it is a good thing.
DeleteHaHa so funny. I was going to say I don't want any gum from your purse, either!
ReplyDeleteOh come on....
DeleteLove the stiff worm! Perfect!!
ReplyDeletePoor worm seeking solitude in my purse.
DeleteGlad you had a good trip. LOL - on the worm!!! BOYS!!
ReplyDeleteI know!
DeleteOMG, the worm story…. too funny! Congrats to your grandson on his baptism! Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteHe was awfully cute.
DeleteI am happy that the trip went so well.... Congratulations on the baptism of James.
ReplyDeleteOh the stories I could tell being the Mom of two boys.
God bless.
I know. As I raised girls this is a whole new experience.
DeleteYou're always hopping- figuratively and literally. I'd have let out a heck of a scream.
ReplyDeleteI think I have been exposed to bugs too much.
DeleteGreetings from Coeur d'Alene. Now get back to work, LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like my sister. Are you my sister?
DeleteYou shot the sheriff? Good thing you did not shoot the deputy. The 'dead law' had me singing in my head. From now on, Kelsa will be better to entertain herself. She can understand you need to work. I had a baby gate over the door to sewing room when mine were little. Son would stand and cry and scream and throw in toys. I sewed. After the worm story, I don't want or need anything from your purse.
ReplyDeleteI know me either....
