Monday, Nice weekend, refreshed


 I spent the weekend just cooking and playing with Kelsa and sleeping.  It was lovely.

Saturday morning the kids' text and wanted to borrow the 4-wheeler, and Hubs traded the 4-wheeler for Kelsa. He told people at church that he got the baby in exchange for a 4-wheeler.

I started out Friday evening making a large shrimp salad.  Daughter took some with her camping and I took a large portion up to Braunwyn's when we went.

Then Saturday morning with Kelsa's help, (I put her in her little chair and sat her on the counter). I made two lasagnas, and two stuffed shells, and a rhubarb pie.  I used the last of the rhubarb from last year and I need to restock. I also made one large tater tot casserole for Dan as it is his favorite.

I was done cooking by 1:00 and we loaded all into the car and drove up to Moscow, and dropped off the food, which was much appreciated, and we left Kelsa with Dan and B and went to a store that carries Hub's shoes.  We bought his last pair before covid with the idea that we were going to tour France and Ireland.  But that did not happen.  So, we needed to get another pair.  These boots are never on sale and are now $165.00.  Yikes!  But he has to have good shoes for his flat feet.  I also found a new pair of overalls on a 70% off sale and you all know I love me some overalls.  We also found a pair of cargo pants for hubs for 70% off making them $17.00.  Then back to pick up the baby and home.

Up for church and then came home and took a 4-hour nap.  Kelsa napped for two hours and the played with hubs while grandma slept.  It was lovely. AS I had pie and lasagna, I did not have to cook Sunday. The kids brought back the 4-wheeler and took our baby.

I hope to get 6 wedding dresses out this week.  Well in reality I have to.  I also have at least 10 bridesmaid dresses and mother of the brides to get out.  It will be a busy week.  But my shop is clean as I did that Friday, and it is so nice to walk into a clean space.

I still need to give the family room a good clean and I don't know when I will get to that. Hub's, has been super busy at the high school with end of the year concerts. He is also going into a three week run of Cinderella, so he will be gone some.

I want to get out sometime later today after sewing and Mircle grow my posts and gardens. It was too cold and windy over the weekend, and it is still chilly outside. I just want warm weather so badly. Our poor plants need that warm sun to grow.  They are just stagnant.

Well I am off to get some sewing done and some brides called for fittings! Today I hope to tear into two more wedding dresses and get at least 4 other bridesmaids done.

I am blessed with work.  I keep telling myself that to keep from getting overwhelmed. Do you ever do that?


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

  1. I tend to be the same as you; work too long and hard before i realize i’m crossing the line between sane and crazy! It’s always best to stay out of my way. Like you, i’m working on it.
    Loved the baby story! I wish my grands lived close enough to have them over.

    1. It is a bad habit. One I am trying to break before it breaks me.

  2. Blessed with work. I need to think that way. So do I need to get a four wheeler to eventually get a grand baby?

    1. Tha's how it works. You have to have something they value to trade.

  3. A four-hour nap is heaven! I am glad you are learning to trade for a baby and then trade her back. That is the only way I could handle baby duty right now. We already have temps in 90s and everything does grow so much better with heat. I need to get out my Miracle Gro. Thanks for reminding me. Those wedding dresses will be so much easier after a well-deserved break.

  5. What a lovely weekend you had! You are so productive, too. I spent most of Saturday at grandson's 2nd birthday party. Sunday kind of melted away, though. Lol. That was a good trade on the 4-wheeler:)

    1. I bet that was a bitter sweet party for you. Take care my friend, thinking of you and wishing you comfort and peace.

    2. We did alright. It was a happy time. Tuesday was a different story though. I was at work and the guy covering for our line operator who was on vacation was hanging out where I was working. He holds up his phone with a big grin on his face and said "see my grandson". I tried not to let it bother me but the tears started and I tried to keep my back turned to him until I could leave and then spent a couple of hours just trying not to lose it. I don't know if he wasn't aware we had just had a grandson pass away or if he forgot or if he just didn't realize the effect it would have on me.
