GOT ER DONE!!~

Got up this morning and got ready to go to the temple. Joyce had me drive her car and we went to pick up Lynn. We expected to do two endowments but Lynn had made an appointment with a doctor at 1:30 so we could only do one and then we had to hurry home. Tony will be disappointed we only did 3 done instead of 6 but it couldn't be helped. She would have had to wait till August if she didn't take it. SO, we dropped her off and Joyce and I went home. I hurried in and changed my clothes and drove over to Lynn's and mowed her lawn. Then I stopped at Lorna's to see how she was doing. She had another friend visiting so I didn't stay more than 20 minutes. I drove to Kaitlyn Rice's and did my Ministering interview with her. Then I went to Kay Browning's but she wasn't home. I came home and warmed up leftovers for lunch. 

I saw this post on FaceBook. Stillman put it on and said how much he appreciated his dad helping him this week and how much fun they are having together. It made me cry as I know the feelings they have for one another. Working hard but enjoying each other so much! He's a sweet boy! (Er,...... man)

Klynn came over and 4 this afternoon and that finished up my Ministering Interviews. (except for one more which I tried calling but she's not answering)  Scott is coming over with a pair of pants for me to mend. Then I'm taking the rest of the evening to crochet and watch POLDARK!!  Lol   

It's coming along ....My 4th one.  I plan to take the 1st one apart once I get this one done and fix it right. lol

WORK WORK & PLAY

Got up this morning and headed straight outside....after a "Ginger Shot"!  lol  It's windy and cool AGAIN today!! BUT, I  had to get two lawns mowed before taking my friend, Robin to her doctor consultation at 2 this afternoon. SO, I got busy!

Started with our yard. I discovered the mower is still on super short but I left it because I  had started and thought it would look stupid if I higher it after some was already short. lol 

Tony will have to get the right setting for the next cutting. Anyways, got ours done plus I had a Russet potato that had sprouts on it so I cut it in half and planted two more mounds of spuds! lol 

Then I headed over to Aunt Joyce's yard. She said "Why don't you wait till tomorrow, it's gonna be warmer!" I told her that we go  to the temple tomorrow and it's trash day for us so I needed to do it today!  She agreed! lol  Got them both done and came in to rest a bit and clean up before going to pick up Robin!

I took Robin to her consultation in Meridian today. She is going to have a surgery on the 29th and I will have to bring her to it as well. After the consultation, I took her to lunch at Smokey Mountain Pizza. Dang horrible picture.  I hate it when they don't close the shades. BOO!  Oh well. After we ate, I took her home and now, I'm heading to Scott's so we can go to Claire's "Baby Shower"  More pictures later!!

And here they are!! The two who are making me a

 GREAT GRANDMOTHER!!

Claire and Thomas.

We played some fun games. I especially liked the

"Dirty Diaper game!"  lol 

 This mother and daughter know their candy bars as they WON!  l

They seriously got a TON of gifts!!  I only took pictures of a few. This gift was from Chris & Heather.

The only one of it's kind and they were both excited about it!!

Hawkins and his girlfriend Scotlyn (NOT HIS SISTER LOL) got them this little outfit....in BSU colors of course!  lol  Or is it Idaho State University where they are going to school. lol

They liked my gift too. (Well, honestly, they liked them all) 

Everyone seemed pretty impressed with the Afghan I crocheted. YAY!

Hawkins and Scotlyn  Home for the summer from college!

Taylor and her baby Braea. She is Scott's best friends daughter. (Mac Wrigley) 1st time I ever met her and she is so sweet. So was her litte baby girl.  I was so happy to be sitting by her because I didn't know a lot of the people there. Except for the ones I was related to. lol  AND, she was so easy to talk to and so friendly!

I wanted a picture of me and the kids. Thomas was gone at the time of the picture.

So I was able to get one of the three of us when he came back. I really like him. So happy Claire found a good one! He's a keeper. She is due June 19th but she is told the baby is in the 75% tile so she may be induced before then. We'll see. 

It was a good busy fun day!  Tony called when I got home, we read scriptures together and was then going to sit in Stillman's hot tub. I'm tired and heading to bed. Temple tomorrow with the ladies.

MUCH ACCOMPLISHED

Had a very busy day ! 

I started my day by cleaning under the sink. My new dishwasher was being delivered today and I needed everything out.  I called the installer and asked him what time he would be here. He told me 1:00  so I knew I had some time to go to D&B and buy the seed potatoes and a Basil plant for the garden. I also stopped at Walmart and returned the fabric I bought yesterday, as it was not the right color of white for the temple dresses. 

Upon returning home, I cut the potatoes, These are Yukon Gold. 

And these are Pontiac Red.

I also got the toilet paper rolls cut and put in the box.

 Ready to seed the flowers. 

I went out and got the Basil planted. 

Then I got the potatoes planted as  more beets and cilantro. 

The garden is done now. Need to put up the BIG owl and the little one. Need Tony's help to do that.

Then I filled the paper rolls with potting soil and planted my flower seeds. Marigold mostly. They will be used as a border in the garden when they are up! The weather was windy and cold when I started and it was raining and even some hail before I  finished.

Weird Spring for sure. Anxious for some warm days.

Mike Pearson  arrived at 1:00  as promised. He took out the old dishwasher in no time at all.  He and I visited for some time about Phil, Colby and Stillman. He is such a nice young man.  Then I went   into the living room. I had set up my sewing machine before he arrived. I cut out some ribbon ties for two temple dresses that were given me but are a wee bit too big.  

Mike finished up and I love the new dishwasher.

Inside and out!!  SWEETHEART !

After Mike left, I finished putting the ties on both dresses. I hope it looks OK. At least they will fit a little better.

I wrapped the gifts for Clair's baby shower which is tomorrow night. 

Now, I've got to clean up for RS tonight. It's  Paint Night and I'm taking a new sister in the ward. Gotta get to it.

It was a GREAT turnout for sure! There were sisters who haven't been to church for a long time!

Not one I want to hang on my  wall though! lol

Even dessert was a painting. 

I took Lanu home and Lynn took our picture. I told her I was going to throw my painting out and she wanted it. I gladly gave it to her. 

It's been a long day and I'm going to relax and watch Pol Dark and Handsome!!  LOL

OH WHAT A DAY!~

Michelle took pictures of Tony and Stillman working on his shop.  L

Looks like they know what they are doing!! lol

Hard working men!!

What a day I HAD!~  I  got up made my bed, and started my laundry.  Dusted and vacuumed my house, while things were washing and drying. Then I folded things and put them away. I needed to go to Walmart for some fabric to make ties for the 2 temple dresses that Teri gave me. When I went to leave, the dang garage door would not close. It would go up part way and then back down again.....over & over. I finally got out and pulled the cord to detach it from the motor and shut it that way. When I got back home, I discovered I didn't have the key to the house in my purse. I called Shawn but he didn't  answer. I went to Aunt Joyce's to see if she had a key to our house. She didn't.  I went to Shawn's house (in hopes he was home) and luckily he was. He had been doing some important things on the computer and couldn't answer the phone but finished and came to the door. He did have a key and he came over and let me in. Then he worked on the door and got it to open and close. I was so thankful to him. After getting my things put away, I wrapped the baby gifts for Claire. At 4 o'clock, Sister Glaettli came for her Ministering Interview.  Sister Adamson didn't show up so I gave her a call. She said she had been busy with her studies. She is getting her bachelors on line. She asked if I would do it over the phone. SO, I did. Then Heather Parish  didn't show up so I called her as well. She said her little one had fallen asleep so I interviewed her over the phone as well.  After my interviews were finished, I made my "Ginger Shot" as I was out!! 

I went out to throw the ginger pulp in the garden and I saw this cluster of mushrooms in the garden. Had to get a picture!!

The garden is looking good. I have got to get my potatoes tomorrow and get them planted. 

The squash is taking it's time but we haven't  had that warm of weather. 

The flowers are starting.

I was really happy to see the Iris has 5 buds on it this year as opposed to ONE last year!! Can't wait for them to bloom!

The clouds were building as I went back into the house. BUT, my Locust is finally looking like a tree again. It's getting leaves!!

I hadn't been in the house but a few minutes when the rain started.  A trickle at 1st but then it really came down. Nice for the garden. I'm reading the ninth book of The Michael Vey books and watching a little TV.  Waiting for Tony to call so we can read scriptures.

CRAZEE DAY!~ lol

SUNDAY HUB's is gone!

It was an interesting sky this morning, as we drove to church. Those clouds are so strange looking. 

We picked up Joyce and she brought one of her bouquets of flowers to put on the side of the pulpit because she wanted to share.

 So sweet of her!

I took a picture of her with the bouquet she brought.  She got 4 different bouquets from kids and grandkids for her 96th birthday. This was from her daughter in law Kim. 

This one from her daughter Cindy & family.

This one from Lona and kids.

This was from Jethlynn, her granddaughter.

 We enjoyed church and then we thought we were going to have choir practice, but there was just a handful of us that were there for the practice so, Lisa sent us home. Tony was OK with that because he wanted to get a good start on his trip to Lewiston. I hurried and changed and made enchilada's. They were so good. I'm tempted to make more while Tony is gone but I probably won't. lol After we ate, he finished loading the truck and off he went. Me and the 2 ladies watched 4 episodes of THE CHOSEN. Both of them fell asleep in at least part of it. When we finished, I sent them both home with some lasagna. Joyce had left one of the bouquet's at church and asked if I would get it and bring it home. I told her I couldn't get it by myself or it would tip and make a mess. I said I was going to visit my friend, Lorna, and she could go with me. She agreed. We drove to the church and picked up the flowers and then drove to Lorna's. My friend and 1st  counselor (when I was RS President in Boise) was visiting Lorna. We had a great visit. Lorna is doing pretty well for having a double mastectomy. I will go back and visit her another day this week but I sure enjoyed seeing JoAnn and her husband Mike. Joyce & I stayed about 45 minutes and then we left.  After dropping her off at home, I came in and watched a couple of movies. Tony called me at 9 o'clock and we read scriptures together. I've got a busy week planned while he is gone so I'm headed up to shower and go to bed.  It's been a good day! 

Just a funny we can relate to. At dinner today, I gave the women a rice pudding (our favorite) Tony told them that we love them and we used to buy them at Winco but discovered they sell them in a 12 pack at Walmart and it is a much better buy. The women said they were so good and then Lynn asked, "Where do you get them?"   LOL

It frustrates Tony so much. He says she doesn't listen to him. 

GOING, GOING & MORE GOING

Tony and I had a regular shift today. It was windy from the get go!! The wind had been blowing all night and it continued most of the day..... Had a great shift and I have to say, the more people I get to know on our shift, the closer we become. I Love the people I work with. Brother's & Sisters!  SERIOUSLY, Great People!!

I hurried out to the car as it was windier than  it was when we went in this morning. I got in the car and waited for Tony. Once he was out, we headed to Meridian to the Bishop's store house. We had a BIG FOOD ORDER to pick up for a family of two 2!!  We had to fill it and I was glad Tony was there to help me. We got it done and came home. Tony started packing for his trip tomorrow and I changed my clothes and then called Shelly Hughes to let her know I was on my way to pick her up. She was kind enough to help me deliver. I still took us several trips into the house and back out to the car to get everything. Glad to have that done,  I dropped Shelly back off at her home and then I came home. I warmed up leftover's for Tony and my dinner. We watched an episode of NCIS New Orleans while we ate. After dinner, Lynn came over and we took Aunt Joyce to COLDSTONE CREAMERY to celebrate

 her 96th birthday. 

Aunt Joyce and Lynn had milkshakes, I had a fruit smoothie and Tony ate the FOUNDER'S FAVORITE! We were all happy! lol I had a Ministering interview coming to my house at 

 4 o'clock , so I had to get back home. Luana Meecham came over. She and I discovered that we are 12th cousin's once removed. We had a good visit. She was here about 45 minutes and after she left, Tony and I ran out to Middleton to visit Mark Hollingsworth. He was released from the hospital and put in an Assisted Living Home there. We were with him a good hour and then Tyson Stucki came to see him and it was a good out for us. We had to get to Costco for gas before 7PM anyway, and as it was, we barley made it.  The wind had quit but now it's raining. Supposed to rain all night and part of the day tomorrow. We gassed up, came home and I started to fill out my Ministering Report and Tony had to go to his mom's to help her with her garage door. She said it's not working. It's been a full day and we are both pooped. Gonna write my Mom a letter so I can get it mailed Monday. Tony leaves for Lewiston tomorrow after church and dinner. I've got a busy week coming up so I'll be busy while he's gone. Time to call it a day & rest now!
