Tuesday, should be Monday,

 I know this is large, but I wanted you to see Grandpa Bennet's record.  He never talked about the war.  He was in Pearl harbor when it was bombed.  He had been taken off ship as he had the mumps and was quarantined on the Island. Short quarantine as during the aftermath he was put in some kind of scrubs and made an orderly.  He said it took his mind off losing all his buddies. Then given a choice to go stateside or on another battleship. The mumps saved his life.  He went on to serve as above. This is an amazing record.  If he called, you a horses A$$ you knew you were loved.  Died at 94 buried with honors.  Could have been buried in Hawaii aboard ship by divers but chose above ground with grandma.  He was and is quite the man.

I come from tough stock.

Dany (grandson) found another snake last night, but it was a bull snake, so we let it go as they are known to eat rattlers.  Daughter left this morning with Dany, I have James here.  It is going to be back and forth this summer with James.  Between orthodontia appointments and summer space camps, James will be crossing the state.

We had a rip-roaring weekend with Family.  All three of my Lil sis' girls were here and all three of mine.  All of my grandkids.  Also, our Travis was here with one of his daughters and her baby.  I am telling you that baby has been a balm for Travis after losing his little ones. Travis was so excited to be with family, and it showed. All of us older generation are exhausted but happy. 

I was so tired of BBQ after BBQ.  We ate way too much.  But everyone had so much fun.  Don't know if Lil sis will ever recover.  But she insisted that everything be at her place.  I think she will be wiser next time and allow me to host a meal. Live and learn

I also finished another chart last Friday.  

So now I am onto # 11. There are many piles in the shop right now and two wedding dresses I must get done soon. I am just taking a deep breath after all the company. We are leaving on Thursday night to camp for two nights with the boys. So, I only have a couple of days to get anything done. I am not sure today is going to be a get anything done day as I am bushed. Company although so fun takes it out of you. Even though I didn't really have to do a thing. 

I need to go pay my taxes for the house and stop by the pharmacy.  I am going to do that right after this blog.  Dan is coming over later to help me put up a movable fence as we had something eat down all the radish tops and decimate one of the cabbages.  So, the little buggers have found the garden and will soon bring their family and friends.  I will have to replant the radishes.

Dany mowed my lawn and got the pressure washer going.  He had to drain things and get water out and whatever.  He is so handy. 

I picked up 10 more geraniums that were marked down to $2.00 and two large peonies that were marked down.  I need to plant those today.  Also need to pull camping gear from shed and make sure it is clean. I am going to get James to help me plant the flowers and replant some of the garden.  I will run to Home Depot and Wal mart for replacements. 

I don't really have any goals for the week other than to get through it.  It is short with holiday and camping.  It will not be cheap, and I will not earn a lot of money.  But that is okay. Making memories with grandkids is far more important. I am not big on camping.  Joel loved it and I do this in memory of him.

Next week I have to take James back to Twin falls for an appointment and then will return with him in one week.  So, I had better get all this sewing done!!!.

I am off hopefully to do something important. Not take a nap, but boy is that a temptation.

Have a great and productive day.

God is Good
