Monday, Where have I been?

 Well, I have been one busy beaver, and not sewing, but doing yard work and grandkid duty.

I worked at Sissie's all day Friday and then she and Dan gave me several hours on Saturday.

In fact, we were both so tired Saturday we didn't even go out to dinner as planned. We were able to get all of my flowerpots out of the green house and planted. It was so much back breaking work.  I remember loving the day I got to do my flowers, and I don't remember it being really physically hard. This was hard. I also was a little sunburned.

I am telling you owning 3/4 of an acre is just too much for me. I still have not done anything with the garden area. That is for next weekend. 

Here is some very good news! My house is paid off!!!! Part of mom's estate settled, and I received enough to pay off the 12,000 that I received owed on the home equity line.  I     am almost debt free and it feels good. Things will change here soon I think, or I hope.

I made chicken Cordon Blue yesterday and Sissie brought up mashed red potatoes.  It was a lovely dinner with enough leftovers, for tonight. I used chicken breast from the freezer that I bought on sale and thinly sliced ham from the ham we made last week. Trying to use what we have and cook great food.

I still need to get out and spray all the rockery again, and I plan on doing that today. Had two bride dresses come in today and one coming in tomorrow. Things have not slowed down here. My goals this week are to get out two to three more wedding dresses and then two more bridesmaid dresses and a pile of harder alterations. Sissie will do the light stuff.

Went to the cardiologist last week, and my resting heart rate and blood pressure are back to my normal. But with a change of meds, one removed and two added. I still have more tests coming up. The cardiologist thinks that he will be cutting me loose with these changes, but we are still going to do a couple more tests to be sure.

Also had the first rattlesnake of the year, between the shed and the chicken coop. It was slow moving as it had obviously just eaten a couple of mice.  I get mice in the chicken coop, as chickens are sloppy and it is free food, until a snake or a chicken grabs them. Not happy about a snake this early, as I do have to be vigilant and really watch the grandkids.

Still have the garden area to prep and the garage needs a spring clean, and the car need a spring clean and let's not forget the house.  Always so much to do.

Well, I am off to get something done, have you any plans?  What is going on with all of you?

Have a great and productive day

God is good
