Yes, here we are again stating another week. The house is relatively clean, I think I have conquered the dust, and I am back in the shop. I will only be here 4 days this week as Signe' and I are taking her two kids to see Jethelyn over Memorial Day weekend. We are going to bring James back with us for a week.
I am looking forward to time with my girls. Braunwyn was here yesterday for several hours to help me finish up the garden and clean out the upper shed. I have a load to take to the dump and many things to either give away or sell.
I can't believe the tools Hubs has. The boys will need to go through them and decide what they want then I will store the rest. I won't use them, but it is nice to have in case they are needed.
We had a great rainstorm last evening and we so needed the moisture. It was 100 yesterday afternoon and it was hard to work outside. B and I kept coming in to cool off. I spent late afternoon floating in Lil sis's pool it was lovely.
I have been scouring the dead and dying racks to fill in my long flower bed with perennials that the animals will not eat.
The music piece I have been practising is played much slower than I thought it would be, so much easier to play. There are so many three and 4 note chords. It is hard for me with my arthrits to stretch to many of the chords so I am changing them slightly. Just much easier and I am relieved.
Took a friend of mine to the Temple on Saturday and we had such a nice day. We then went shopping for a while and found her some really cute things. I can't wait to do something like this with her again. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday away with just the two of us.
Sluggy must be off on her cruise, and I hope she can have fun without me. But I should have been with her, I think. Who will she do carrot cake runs with at 10 o'clock at night? I know she will miss me.
I have 5 bridesmaid dresses to get done, and a pair of pants, a coat to mend and a couple of shirts to alter. Then I must look at the wedding dresses again. I am so happy I have cut off work until next month. I am so much calmer, and it is wonderful.
Stayed up way too late last night reading and I am paying for it today.
Kelsa and I have been out riding the little kids 4-wheeler, and her bike, and I resprayed the weeds I had sprayed before the rainstorm, then we picked up all the Roscoe poo. Kelsa loves that job. I hate it, but it must be done. She thinks it is great fun. She walks around and finds is and then I pick it up in a bag and we throw it away. I think I have the rotten end of the job. But as long as she thinks it is fun, it gets me to keep up on it.
I now need to empty and clean the bottom shed which is huge and then the garage. But those two projects will involve Nate and Daniel. After they are done, I will feel like I have done what I could to organize this place without Joel.
I hate that he is gone. It is so very hard.
Kim.
