CRAZEEEE BUSY COUPLE OF DAYS!!

Sunday night after everyone was gone, Tony and I started watching the 2nd  Tom Holland movie with Spiderman. We watched HOMECOMING, and then Monday night we watched INFINITY WAR. We needed to wind down after such a crazy Monday!!

 I wanted to clean my craft room because it is a total disaster right now!! However, we had the carpet cleaner coming to shampoo our carpets and our couch!! So we went to the gym early and then came home to get things ready for him!!

Of course this is AI but it is exactly how I felt after vacuuming the entire house and stairs!! We had moved a lot of things off the carpet and I went to work. It is a very hot October thus far and I'm feeling it. It took me quite awhile to get things done.

Tony mowed the lawn this time and then he trimmed the bushes.

The yard is looking pretty good and it is getting prepared for winter......if it ever comes! lol

Hopefully, only a few more weeks of mowing. We'll see! I left before the carpet shampooer came and I went over to check on a sister I minister to. I ended up staying over two hours with her. I brought her a plate of roast beef, potatoes and carrots and a cinnamon roll. She said she had been to the store and bought over $200 dollars of food and then had to put it all back because she didn't have enough food stamps. I told her if she needed groceries, she should put in a food order with the church. She said they don't have everything she needs Anyway, I thought she could use a plate of food but when I got to her house, it smelled delicious!! She was making pork roast and man, it smelled good.  We had a good visit and then I came home to shower and I was really hoping to settle down for a rest......NOT SO! While I was in the shower, my phone rang. When I got out, I see Chris Floyd had called me so I dressed and called him back. He asked me if I could go pick up Anna. She was caught with a vape and was being expelled till next Tuesday. Tony went with me and it was an  uncomfortable ride home. I wish these kids would learn. We came home after dropping her off and then had a long talk with Chris. We finally got a chance to sit down and relax so we watched

 INFINITY WAR & NO WAY HOME!!  

In between, I got a text from Aaron (our next door neighbor) asking if we were home. He came over with his little boy and brought us a blueberry pie, some Honey bacon, pickled asparagus and some buns. He thanked us for taking care of his lawn and said how much he appreciated it. So sweet!!  AND DELICIOUS!!

This morning,  we woke up at 7:15 because we were going to pick up the Brown's to go to the temple. I noticed I had a text from Robin saying "Please, I need your help"......it was sent at 6:23.   I called her immediately but got no answer.  I sent a text but again got no answer. We dressed and were eating breakfast and she called. She said she was at the hospital again with A FIB. She asked if I could come pick her up WHEN she gets released! I told her I was going to the temple and we were picking up the Browns and I'd call Debbie to see if she could pick her up. She told me to text her phone number and she'd call her when she got released.  BUT, when I called Debbie, she said she had an appointment at 10. SO, I called Shelly and she couldn't either. I finally got a hold of Shanna and she said she could. SO, I text Robin with her phone number and then we took off for the temple. 

I got a picture of the Brown's after we got out.

George took one of us but the sun was so bright I couldn't look at him. lol

We got out a little after two and I sent a text to Shanna. She said she still hadn't heard form Robin. So then I tried calling her and got no answer. We changed and went to the gym to walk and then hurried home to change and go to LONESTAR for Corbin's concert. 

Corbin plays the trumpet and they did really good.

We took pictures of him after.

He was really happy with their song selection. It was great. They played a song about dinosaurs  and also 

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL.  It was a good concert. We left them and finally went to get some dinner. We hadn't eaten since the bowl of cereal for breakfast. I still haven't heard from Robin but decided she needs to return my calls or at least a text. We came home, I blogged and now we are headed to bed.

GOD IS GOOD!~

JUST ONE MORE....LOL AND CONFERENCE WEEKEND

Friday night, we watched CIVIL WAR. Tony wanted to watch all the Marvel movies that have Tom Holland in them, so we started with this one. I think we have 5 more to go. lol

I worked on one more pumpkin so I could have keep my hands busy.  I think I'm done for now. lol

Saturday morning, we got up early and went to the gym to walk. We didn't realize they didn't open till 8am so we walked outside till they opened. It was cool and refreshing.

It's really a lovely path so we enjoyed it. We finally went inside and I got on the bike and rode 7 miles. Tony walked his four. We then went home and got ready to watch General Conference. Tammy's family had left to go on a bike race at Soldier Mountain so she came over and watched with us. It was so good and an answer to my prayers. I especially loved Sister's Runia's and Elder Rasband's talks.  They were so pertinent to my situations. Loved them. We watched both session's and then we went to Chick Fil A and got lunch.

Tony and I got salads and Tammy got a sandwich on Gluten free bread. It's so nice they cater to those needs.

After we ate, we went to Costco and Tony got ice-cream. Tammy can't have it and I couldn't eat all mine (maybe a fourth) and so Tony ate mine and was extra full. lol Tammy went home to let her dogs out and we went to Lynn's  to watch the BSU game. Tammy came over later with her friend, Allison Adona. They put a puzzle together and then played a game while we enjoyed the game. WE WON!!  

It was a great day. We came home and I got a few things ready for Sunday's dinner. Then off to bed.

Sunday, Tammy and my friend Liz, came over to watch conference with us. Again, it was a wonderful session. Scott and Jill came over after the 1st session and had dinner with us. I made a roast with potatoes and carrots and I also baked a squash. Liz brought cornbread muffins and I also made cinnamon rolls for dessert.

Scott and Jill had to leave after dinner. They were putting some things into storage before Scott takes off for Utah.

I swear, I'm getting shorter by the day. lol  I'm unfortunately spreading the opposite direction.

Sure love these kids. Gonna miss them so much. After they left, we came in and visited until 1:45 and then Liz said she had to get over to the Adamson's because they had invited her to watch a session with them. She said her "dance card"was full. lol  She had watched a Saturday session with Bunny McDougall. 

So I got a picture of Liz, Tammy and Tony before she left.

Then Tony got a shot of me with the ladies. Liz will have been a member a year next month and she is looking forward to taking out her endowment. Love her so much. She is such a good woman and a great friend. So glad she was able to spend the morning with us.

It was a great weekend and Conference was phenomenal. 

GOD IS GOOD!~

PUMPKINS AND MORE PUMPKINS

Just something to do when I sit and watch TV in the evenings. I have yarn that I haven't used so thought they'd make an OK pumpkin. I also had some fuzzy socks that Pat gave me last year and I've worn holes in the toes, so I made pumpkins out of them too.

A fun way to pass time (which I don't seem to have a lot of) but I manage to get it done in spurts. lol

I made a 2nd napkin modge podged one with different Fall napkins.  

Then on Wednesday night, I made this one.  Thursday, we went to the gym, got home and got ready to go to the temple to work our shift and then after our shift, we stayed to help clean. Ridgeview Stake had the assignment to clean and since we were already there, we stayed. Carl and Joyce Glaettli came from our ward too so it was nice to have another couple there that we knew. We got finished around 11:30 and home shortly after midnight. We went straight to bed and unfortunately overslept!!  We were supposed to be at Becky's funeral at 10 am. I woke up at 5 to 9!!!  We hurried and made it on time.

It was a very nice service. She left quite an impact on her family and friends. There was a family gathering up at Nate and Melissa's after the service so we went home and changed into something a little bit more comfortable and drove up to Nate and Melissa's.

We had a beautiful luncheon and a good visit. The kids were all there and it was so good to see them, although I was bummed I didn't get to meet Blakes baby. Grace had a minor surgery and was not up to traveling. I'll see her at Thanksgiving, hopefully!!

They got a big family picture taken. 

I got a sweet shot of the kids before we took off to go to the gym.

It was a beautiful Fall day and the trees are changing but it's still in the 80's!  Unreal!!  Pretty tired so we are resting the rest of today and are really looking forward to General Conference tomorrow and Sunday. It's gonna be a great weekend.

GOD IS GOOD!~

GETTING CAUGHT UP

Last Thursday, was a beautiful day. We went to serve on our shift and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. 

It was a lovely day to serve and we both enjoyed our shift immensely.  It makes a huge difference when we get a good nights sleep the previous night.

We were out by 8:30 and it is dark now. Fall is here and winter is coming on.

Friday when we were headed to the gym to walk, I noticed my Gerber Daisy. When we got home, I took a better look at it and noticed I have a Begonia blooming. I was shocked because I didn't plant any this year. It obviously came up from last year and they normally only come up once. Pretty cool! We got some work done around the house and relaxed Friday night. 

Saturday morning, Tony went to clean the church and I went to the WOMEN'S CONFERENCE at the Smith building.  It was a great conference. We were able to pick two classes to go to. I chose the one on prayer and the sacrament and they were both wonderful.  There was a lovely luncheon after and it was so good.  I'm so glad I was able to attend. Working on Saturday's I wouldn't have been able to go but now that we work Thursday night's it's possible.

When I got home, I worked on the boxes Shelly asked me to decorate for our November Silver Sister's luncheon. She gave me five boxes and Pat took one. I cut out die cuts and decorated three.

I'm not sure if this is what she had in mind but she said to do whatever I wanted.  I have 3 more to go but Pat is gonna come over next week and we'll finish them up. We have paper bags to decorate as well. They'll be in the center of the tables at the November Silver Sisters luncheon. I got in the mood to make some crocheted pumpkins for my house.  

I got four done. I'm working on a bigger one now but haven't finished it yet.  Something to work on this Saturday when I'm watching General Conference.  I CAN'T WAIT!!

I also worked on my plastic pumpkin. I bought some fall napkins and decoupaged them onto it.

It's not perfect but it will do. I've got one more that I'm doing with a different fall napkin. Not done with it yet either. lol  Last night, I got a call from Chris Floyd and he asked me if I was up. I told him I was and he said Anna had made something for me for my birthday and she wanted to bring it over. 

The two of them came and Anna had made me some delicious watermelon cupcakes.

She did a great job. They were so cute!  It was too late to eat any last night. BUT, I got some pictures and thanked her for them. She did a great job and it was really sweet of her to make them. 

Today, we went to the gym and walked. Then we went to Winco to see if they had ginger. They did and so we bought some as well as a gallon of milk and a roast for Sunday. UNFORTUNATELY,  when I was putting the milk in the fridge at home, it slipped and I dropped it. I hurried and picked it up, but it spilled all over. I was able to save most of it so it's now in a pitcher in the fridge. lol My floor got mopped so that was a plus. lol  I made my ginger shot, mopped my floor, made taco's for lunch, got my next pumpkin done and I also mowed Aaron's lawn. Tony edged and sprayed weeds as well. It was a good day to get caught up.

GOD IS GOOD!~

TWO DAYS OF CELEBRATING WITH MY HUBBY

After getting a lousy sleep score and going to the gym super early because we couldn't sleep, we came home and hoped to catch a quick nap. That wasn't happening so, we watched a little TV and then got ready to work our shift at the temple. BUT, 1st, Tony took me to THAILAND EXPRESS for my 1st birthday dinner. We both enjoy this place so much and it was delicious.

I asked the waitress to take our picture and she was happy to oblige.

It's such a little hole in the wall but it seriously has the

 BEST THAI FOOD!

We ate and then came home to get our temple things and then drove to Meridian. We were going to officiate the 6 o'clock session and I was really worried about falling asleep. But after my 1st assignment, I went to the break room and had a Doctor Pepper and I was fine. It was a beautiful night. When we got out to our car someone had put these on everyone's cars.

How sweet was that!  It made me feel really good. We took off and got home around 9:15. We read our scriptures and said our prayers and I slept so much better than I had the previous night. I had told Pat the day before that I was not going to set an alarm to get up early so I would text her when we were ready to go. We actually woke up at 7:45 and I text her to tell her we'd be there at 8:30. She was already there and had walked 10 laps when I started. I told her she could quit after she hit her 4 miles but she said she was going to walk with me the entire way. What a good friend!  Neither one of us will be there tomorrow as I have a

WOMEN'S CONFERENCE 

at 10 to noon and then we work our quarterly Saturday evening shift tomorrow night.  When I got home we ate breakfast and I made a Tuna Macaroni Salad for the shift tomorrow.

Tony is taking me to see the new movie RUNNER at 1:30 and then to TEXAS ROADHOUSE for my birthday dinner there. 

We went to the MAJESTIC in Meridian and watched this action packed movie!!  Wow, it was blow up everything kind of movie!! It had humor, and action galore but I wish Owen hadn't died in the movie.  (opps...... spoiler alert!!)  Anyway, we enjoyed it.

We came back to Nampa to go to TEXAS ROADHOUSE for my 2nd birthday dinner. Man, the traffic in this area is getting so dang busy. We are becoming BIG CITY BUSY!!

Dinner was good. I got a steak and some shrimp. Tony got a full rack of ribs so he will have lunch tomorrow while I'm at the conference.

When we got home there was a package on the porch from Heather. It had a sweet note and it was a box of Mrs Cavanaugh's chocolates!  YUM!!!  THANK YOU HEATHER!  I've eaten a couple and they are delicious! I shared with Tony but I made sure to tell him which ones he can't have. lol I hid them too just to keep the temptation from him. He has a hard time saying no to chocolate. lol

It was a great birthday and turning 75 wasn't so bad afterall.
