Saturday and Sidney and Sandra!

Today I have GOT to clean the house, work on my Primary lesson and HOPE to pull those weeds in the front I meant to do yesterday!

Sidney and Sandra are coming and the house is a wreck! That's the first priority. Hey! If I do a good job, maybe I won't have to do it again for another month. lol!

I can't wait to see Ryan and Staci and Alissa and Kenz and Taft and Emily!! That is gonna be so great!!

I love you all soooo much!! Have a  good day!!

Yay for Friday!

There's the bills I have to pay that were approved last night, and the minutes to do. Do I WANT to do them on my weekend off? No, I really don't! Sid's coming tomorrow and I want to help Layne in the yard so it's as pretty, or cleaned-up as possible by the end of today. I think we're going to have a bonfire every night in our fire pit while our Flake-Garners are here! That could be fun!

So, 1/2 jogging, 1/2 work on bills, quick trip into town to get a part for Papa's car and to deliver papers to the City Attorney from last night. The rest of the day light is for yard work and tonight the Temple! Love it!

I hope you have a productive day as well!

I love you!!!!

CC tonight!

The day has just begun, but I'm already focusing on the end - City Council Meeting tonight. That's not the right approach, is it?

I did a little yoga with BYUTV this morning and I'm now having my green smoothie that Papa made me. Yummm.

Papa finished the tree trimming on the trees close to the house. There's just two more in the back. Mulberries that are getting too tall to enjoy the majority of their fruit. So he knows what he's doing today! I'm still making a phone list - I've got it together, now I just have to type it into the computer.

So I hope your day goes beautifully and you keep working toward all your worthy goals!! I love you!!

Wednesday, 2-9-11

The first two days of the week are well and done with all the work completed. I don't think I'm missing anything important. Today I'll continue to make a list of all the people on Westfield Road and their phone numbers for the Mayor and the Engineer. As new construction on the road goes forward, that list will be useful in notifying people of meetings and road conditions.

The wind is NOT blowing (yet) today! I'll have my little walk later in the day when it's warmer, not too much later though, 'cuz Papa says its best to exercise in the morning to get the system going.

We're so exited that Ryan and Staci and the kids are coming next week! Papa's trying to get lots of yard work done! We really have a mess out there now because we clipped the trees back and left the branches where they fell! ugh. But the trees look good and ready for spring!

Visiting Teaching after work and Way Off Broads tonight! It will be a good day!

I love you!!

Wow!

I just read that Staci lost 25 lbs last month! that is so awesome! My body still doesn't believe me. It's so weird. but I know I'm more firmed up and that's a great beginning. (Don't tell me muscle weighs more than fat, I might throw something***)

Today is also Sammy's Birthday!! I'm so happy that I have a little Grandson named Samuel! I know how very smart and special he is and I hope I can see him sometime in May I think!!

I love all of my very wonderful Grandchildren!! They are the BEST Grandchildren in the WORLD!!

Layne trimmed almost all of the trees now in the yard! I got to do a couple of the bushes with his help. New tools are so fun!

I love you!! Have a wonderful day!!

New week and blue skies

I always think of the blue skies, because as I'm sitting here trying to think of what to talk to you about, there is that blue sky... Then I check for wind, nope, no wind this morning, so it will be a pleasant walk to work.

It was good to visit with Katrina and Aubrey and Shayna yesterday! Plus I had a cute email from Staci and Papa got to talk to Tim. All counties heard from, as the saying goes. Everybody sounds good. I had to laugh at Katrina, Shayna and Aubrey. They all tried to call each other and me at the same time so I guess nobody got an especially good visit. Except Shayna and me 'cuz that was nice just sitting around after dinner and looking at cool articles on the web while Trevor and Papa talked on the phone. Although Shayna said what she really wanted to do is to win, er, play a game like last week. LOL. Of course, there's no guarantee who would win in a rematch. Ha.

Ah, Papa's singing a sweet love song. I gotta go!
I love you!!! Be happy!

Fast Sunday

 I'm starting the day hungry already! Sheesh! I think that means it will dissipate earlier and I'll be feeling fine by church time.*** i hope so. Last week the Bishop asked us to fast this week for the inactive and the struggling in our Ward area. That's was I'll focus on.

Mom is not eating well. Some days are better than others. Today should be a good day for her. She loves all the people she gets to see. The Ward members are wonderful! They hug her and treat her very special.

Papa got some new yard toys; there's a 16" chain saw and a 8" chain saw on a looonnng pole so he can do the branches up high. He did two trees yesterday and I think he was definitely having a little fun, though he uses other words.

Both of us had good exercise, Papa did about 7.5 miles in 1 hour, 9 minutes. I did 4.6 in 1:19. But hey, it was a little better than that, 'cuz the last .75 I got a big drink at the creek and walked slowly back home.
