Tuesday, I thought Hub's retired?

 This is the image I saw in my head when hubs retired.  Today's schedule: Go to church to help a woman's group set up 10-12, get to a volunteer program to unload wheelchair ramps, 1-3, get to high school to set up and run tech for a parents meeting. 5:30 to 8? He gets to grab something to eat in between.

I had a bride at 11:00, a pickup at 1:00 I have to run a neighbor to a food bank at 1:30 , then another fitting at 4:00, then I work at a local food bank tonight at 6.  I hope to get some sewing in between trips.

Last night I did all the hand work on a wedding dress after Kelsa left. I was sewing until midnight.  It was a mermaid dress covered in lace that had to be taken in all the way down.  So lace had to be picked off the three layers underneath taken in and then all that lace hand sewn back on, it seemed to take forever.  But it is out of the shop and I have another I am going to work on hopefully before I leave.  I also have piles to do today.  Have to keep those piles done.

Weddings and wedding attire take up most of my time during the high season, but the piles are year round and I need them during slow times. They are my bread and butter.  Right now I have 6 bridesmaid dresses in the shop that need to be altered, so I am going to set aside a day for them.  Hopefully this week.

Yesterday I spent the day cleaning ( which I should have done Saturday).  But the house is mopped and vacuumed.  It will hold for another week. Plus Kelsa just follows me around, while I work.  Hubs did take her for two walks in the stroller yesterday, which she enjoys. And grandma enjoys having her out of the house.

Schmills picked out an apple pie with grandpa and when he got home form school he had pie. I had hubs pick up three items that were his that I had dry cleaned. One sport coat he wears to church quite often and two Filson wool vests he wears al the time in the winter.  It was almost $40.00.  But those vests are about $160.00 a piece and I was not going to try and hand wash them. I knew it would be high but even that shocked me.

I have quite a few red potatoes left over from dinner last night  and I am going to fry them with some bacon, onion, eggs, and cheese.  We called this pitti pan, or pity pan.  As every farm in Sweden had these ingredients. I actually love it. I will serve with home made bread from the freezer.

Well I am off to get a bride dress taken in for a fitting tomorrow.

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