Wednesday, Company crazy

 Well tourist season is upon us in the great Noeth West.  We have had our first death by buffalo.  There is one every year.  These animals are massive, as in the size of a Volkswagen.  Their skull is the largest part of them.  As in a freight train coming toward you. They are very docile and slow moving until they are not.  Stay far away.  Yes, they roam freely in many areas and parks. Do no pet, do not feed. 

It has rained all week, and today it is sunny with rain coming, late this afternoon.  I cannot spray due to wind.  Such an aggravation.  Sis brought me a 25 # bag of flour yesterday to fill up my storage and one of the bottles of bug spray (the one for squash bugs had a leak and drained out soaking the large paper bag and we had to throw out the whole of the flour.  Took spray bottle back to Home depot with receipt and the receipt for the flour. Replaced the spray and got a 10.00 off coupon.  The flour was 10.77 so I thought they did right.

Yesterday was crazy with company.  Sissie came up and cooked fish chowder and popovers and a dessert called a posset.  It was lovely.  I sewed 3 mother of the bride dresses and a zipper and started on a wedding dress. We had 8 to table and after the dishes were done, I was wiped out. I know Sissie was tired. Our eldest cousin on my mom's side came with her hubby.  They have a motor home and were able to park it across from Sissie's, at her elderly neighbor's house. Sissie and Dan have adopted Miss Jane who is 88 and lives in a big house across from them.  They help her with the yard and drive her places.  She is a sweetie.  I need to get over there and help with some of the yard work.

We have all my girls and babies, and all Lil sis's girls and our nephew/little brother, (the one who lost the babies a few years ago in the tragedy) plus this cousin all coming this weekend.  It will be crazy busy and all the houses full. So, my goals of not spending money or eating out, are out the window!

I will have to contribute to the food and cooking for this crew.  I have not been given my marching orders yet. Sissie will rule, I will follow. I am excited to see everyone and so happy Travis gets to join us. He still suffers and will always suffers the loss of his two little ones.  All we can do is shower him with love.

I had a bride pick up today and another will later this afternoon.  I have to go get the kids from school and my youngest is coming down with Oliver, so they can all see Grandma.  I have decided on roasted veggies and salad and pizza for dinner.  I just can't do more right now. This grandma slept terribly last night.  Lots of pain in hips and shoulders and wrists.  Not when I moved just that throbbing nerve pain one gets when joints are angry.  Don't know what I did to make them angry, but they were screaming most of the night.  I am fine today but sleepy.

Yesterday on top of everything else, I was able to finally sell for my neighbor, a large threes story cat cage and a large, overstuffed recliner. I had them listed for her on Facebook marketplace.  This neighbor has Parkinson's, and Sissie and I keep a close eye on her. It took about an hour to move furniture and get the chair out of her house and into a truck and then dis assemble the cat cag and get everything tied down.  I was a sweaty mess.  But that is off my list of to do's and the neighbor was so happy.

Well, I am off! We are going to Effie burger for lunch. I want to get something done in the yard, but I don't know what it will be. the wind is not cooperating.

Have a great and productive day

 God is good
