Wednesday, Sissie makes cookies

 Here she is her bossy self. I woke up this morning to banging and banging.  What is she up to now?  Well, she is baking cookies. While she is finishing a dress she is baking date oatmeal cookies.  I am on a low to no carb diet and she is baking cookies!!!!!

A Pox on her I say!

At least she took all the cookies when she left. I am not sure who she was delivering them to, but they sure smelled good.

The shop was so busy yesterday.  So much stuff dropped off.  I have a bride coming in at 3 today and I have another bridal dress that I am starting on, it is a bugger, with inside horsehair braid.  My favorite. NOT!

Dinner was good last night, fun to get together with my friend. The missionaries are cute; they are so young. I could never have done what they are doing at their age. I am not sure if I should admire them or think they are nuts?

Chickens are laying like crazy and going through food and water like crazy. Sissie brings over leftovers for them and they love that, much more than the grain I feed them.  But My coop is falling apart so badly.  I think the kids are going to get me a new one for my birthday. That will be easier than trying to put this one back together.  It has been out in the weather for 6 years and is not holding its own at all.

Yesterday was beautiful, it smelled like spring.  Today it is nonstop raining and as we have had no snow, we will take the rain. The farmers here are all dry land with no irrigation, so we have to have moisture in some form.

Keep Sluggy and Hawaiian planners' family in your prayers. So scary right now in the world.

Tuesday, Happy Birthday William!

 William at mom's funeral when I told him to change his socks. No white socks with a formal suit unless the suit is white. Tacky, tacky. This is his oh grandma face. I can't believe he is 10. Soon James will be 10.  Grandkids just keep growing up too fast.

His parents had lunch with him at school and then whisked him off on a surprise trip to a Kraken game for his birthday. I bought him a new jersey to wear to the game. He called me to tell me thank you and he was so excited. They kept making him think he was too old for a big birthday celebration. 

My mother's birthday is today, and I remember she was so happy that William was born on her birthday.

Sissie is in sewing long sleeves on a formal with sequins and she is breaking needles.  I hate breaking a needle, it is just scary. Poor darling. I just went into check on her, after the loud bang!

I am taking the missionaries out to dinner tonight. Have no idea where, as I let them choose. Plus, I get to see my bestie who is in another ward at church, so I don't get to see her every week. We can have a few laughs. Then onto the gym, if possible, like if I don't eat too much.

Plenty to do today which is the way I like it. Sissie would like it if I did more, but I don't think I can make myself do this. I am so happy just living the good life. Ha ha!

I made a big batch of egg roll in a bowl last night and it was so good. Having that for lunch.

Now onto sewing,

Have a great and productive day

Monday, It's March!

 Oh, my it is March already! That happened so fast! It is a beautiful day out, Oliver and Braunwyn are here and we have been down to the chickens. Oliver fed them and we collected some eggs. Then I pulled the electrical cord for the heated water dish and also pulled up the hose and watered what was saved in the green house. 

There is a ton of yard work to do, and the flower beds need tending. I have tulips and other bulbs coming up all over, but also a lot of weeds.

Saturday when I was giving Kelsa a bath, I torqued my back a little.  Not as bad as last time but enough that I will be careful. I wish I knew what caused it to spring.  So, aggravating.

So, what goals do I have for March? Well, when I think of it way too many. Maybe just a goal for today, then the week and then March.

Goal for today: Pay the bills! Just get it done and put it behind me for the month!

Also get a wedding dress done and call bride to set up a fitting. Go to the gym and do exercises for my lower back. Also practice the piano!  That is, it for today.

That is enough.

Now for the week:

1. go to gyn 3-4 times

2. get all bills paid not just the online ones 

3. get 2 other wedding dresses done.

4. get some deep cleaning done in the kitchen

  a. clean out fridge

  b. clean corner lazy Suzan cupboards

Goals for the month

1. weed long flower bed

2. weed all the rockery around the back yard

3. spray the rockery after weeding.

4. get spray paint and redo all the yard tools and get then hung

5. start seedlings in green house

That is enough.  I a sure I could add a lot more to that list for outside, but just thinking about it makes my back hurt. 

Do you have any fun plans for March?

I have a trip I am excited about!

God is good
