Anyway, just as I suspected they were sold out as the greenhouses, had been marked down $500. But we were able to order online and had them shipped free to my address which is in Idaho and has 3% lower sales tax. Win! One of the houses is for Lil sis. I gave daughter $1000 in cash I had been saving for the green house as she ordered with her CC. So, it is paid for. I am sure there will be more expenses concerning this as it will have to be put on a foundation of some kind, although I might have those here. I am excited as I am hoping this will really help with expenses in the spring. I spend a great deal on flowers and plants, and I know how to do my own. Plus, I can share with others.
All the running around really cut into my day, but I managed to get done what I wanted to get done. Signe' wanted me to come up to her place and help her purge her closet. I enjoy spending time with my daughters and helping them. As we had no kids or husband to distract, I said yes and went up about 7 last night after I had watered and taken care of things here.
We pooped around for a couple of hours and finally at 10:30 at night. Yes 10:30 I said," Well I want to be in bed by midnight so let's get crackin." I piled as much on the bed as possible and then grabbed item after item. KEEP? DONATE? If she took too long, I said DONATE! We completely cleaned that closet, sorted, and hung by style all the clothing. She had three large bags of donate. Then I vacuumed and we were in bed by midnight. Lots of laughs. I even found a few things of mine... Those lulu lemon sweatpants I was missing, a pair of Dansko sandals, a swimsuit cover up, and a summer dress. I also helped myself to a really nice coach pocketbook she never uses. Go me! Left there this morning about 9:30.
I had a piano lesson at noon today, and I have two wedding dresses getting picked up today. I hope!
Sissie and Dan are coming up to cook dinner on my grill and I put the whole chicken in the oven that I had pulled out yesterday. It is done and cooling and I just put a small turkey in the oven to roast this afternoon. Had to get some things out of the freezer. I will make a chicken salad for the weekend and then slice up the turkey for sandwiches and freeze the rest. Plus make a pot of broth.
I have everything for my Sunday bar for the 4th. Saturday morning the 5th we will do big breakfast at my house. Could be as many as 20 people. Will do bacon and sausage, overnight yeasted waffles and eggs. I will get Kay and Dan to come help. Then I plan on making a triple batch of rolls for turkey sandwiches and leftovers from the 4th. Between the bar, the dining table and the outdoor deck seating I can do 20. Who am I kidding, will I get to sit down?
I will also have Oliver and Kelsa this weekend this should be interesting. Therefore, help from sister and Dan necessary.
Today I have two mothers of the bride dresses to hem, one is a nightmare and then I want to start on that last monster wedding dress if possible. The more I get done the easier next week will be. Even though I have 5 days, I know how my schedule can change in a minute, and I just want to be ready.
So, I am going to force myself to get to work, even though I really do not want to. I have to say I am thoroughly tired of sewing. However, that is not an excuse to slack. I wish it was.
Are you ready for the 4th celebrations?
Have a great and productive day
God is good
Kim
