Friday, yesterday was busy


      Hubs and I were up early yesterday to both get to Home depot and get the last of the blocks for our garden wall.  We met the missionaries at our place at 10:00 to help unload and stack the remainder of the wall.  I had the three sister missionaries help me make up 15 plates of frosted cut out sugar cookies for different shut ins and others who needed a treat.  Then we had lunch of sub sandwiches made on large loaves of bread.  It is the least expensive way to feed nine 20 somethings.  We were done about one and I cleaned until 2 and then laid down as D#2 was coming with the kids at 5:15 to teach and then spend the night.

     She had been up for over 24 hours with Kelsa, who was sleeping fitfully.  We had her sleep with Hubs and I and she slept well.  Went down at 10:30 after a crying jag and slept until 4:11 then she had a bottle of breast milk and change of pants and slept again until 6:56, so daughter got a great nights sleep.Grandma and pa not too bad.

     I have several customers coming today (this morning) and then I have to go do some banking and we are off to do the missionary run, which will take about 5 hours.  We have not checked the out of town apartments since before covid.  So I don't know what we will find. This could be interesting.

     I had a bride in for a fitting yesterday and she was so funny.  She almost cried as her dress fit her so well.  It was not that big a job, but it looked like a sack before I started.  I have just never had that kind of a reaction before.

     I might go up to Daughters tonight, I know both girls are coming with their babies tomorrow, and then we have to go up to D#2's on Sunday to watch the kids while daughter works at Schmills school.  Daughter #2 will be 33 this coming Monday, so we will celebrate her birthday.

     Schmills and I carved a pumpkin last night and he enjoyed that so much.  We had it outside with a light in it to scare his mom when she came home from teaching.


     My life seems to have gotten busier but in a more pleasant way. I really enjoy having the kids closer and getting to spend so much time with my grandchildren.  They are such a gift.

     Tomorrow we are due at our Bishop's house at 9 to help sand down is deck while he is out of town.  Then I do have to make pies as daughter wants pumpkin pie for her birthday.  Daughter #3 and her husband and Oliver will spend the night Saturday, so that means a houseful for Pie and celebrate daughters birthday. Should probably think of something for dinner.  Hmmm.... Maybe a big pot of homemade chili?

     I will make plenty of pie crusts and freeze them for later.

Have a great and productive  day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  2. It sounds like Kelsa loves sleeping with you two. Funny! What happens on a missionary run and what do you do with the apartments. Tell Schmills that is a scary pumpkin. Pumpkin pie would be plenty of dinner for me. I can eat a whole pie at once, and I do. Of course, I eat nothing else all day except pumpkin pie.

    1. She does, I do believe when daughter has done enough sleep deprivation she will come down here. I will let Schmills know. We do love pumpkin pie here and will eat it for all three meals. We inspect apartments for cleanliness and problems, such as clogged drains, things breaking, how to contact the landlord.

  4. Such a beautiful space! And that view! I remember how hubs didn’t want to move, I’m sure that view helped change his mind and it seems that he has settled in well.
