Thursday Jan. 29 M&P went in to rec center about 6 this am. Evan and I read a book... about 6 times. I left for school about 7:25. Good day at Battle Creek. After school I met Denny in Arthur and we rode up to Storm Lake to get 2 sow feeders at Hog slat, heat bulbs and parts to replace and fix broken heat lamps at Bomgaars, A-I tubes at Nelson Feeds, a clock at Wall Mart for an Awana room so they get out on time, 2 boxes of chocolate mint cookies at Goodwill...AND 2 $1.00 sandwiches at McDonalds. How's that for exciting? He left me off at my car and I stayed at church until 8:30. The ladies were having a work night. Bring any project you would like to work on. I just stopped to watch and eat the snacks. Someone brought little smokies wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven...super greasy...super good...at least that's what I heard some one say. Surprisingly enough Emily and Danielle were playing Slap. (They had another name for it...but it was still Slap)Watched ER with Dad when I got home. I thought about Mandy as they had a code call.

Wed. Jan. 28 HOT DOG!!! The sisters are gathering in Texas on Feb. 20th. I think Gail comes in at 4:38...Nancy come in at 8:46 and Jean come in at 10:58. Hope the car is working okay. I'll wear out a path going to the airport. Luckily it is only 5-10 miles away from 4 Seasons. Big day at the unit. I'm tired. 6am -5pm. Wean, load out and spray. Luckily Nancy Rogge called me to sub tomorrow, so I'll be at the middle school. Just ask me math questions. Good Awana tonight. Only 10 regular club meetings left. I called Linda Harriman yesterda. She had some furniture listed for a moving sale. Maybe a leather sofa and chairs. They are brown and I'm sure she will want to sell them for more than I want to pay. She said she had 8 chairs...how can that be...8 leather chairs. I'm going to look at them next week.

R&R Tuesday Jan. 27 I've worked at the rec center on Tuesday mornings from 4;30-10 for 5 years. Every Jan. I go around and shake and stir the old cans of paint and touch up dings on the walls of the rooms. I finished the job for this year. The lids are really getting ripped up. In fact 3 of the 6 cans Malcolms wouldn't shake on the machine because they were sealed tightly. So I did a lot of stirring. Missy and Tasha came to exercise so I watched kids after I got done working. Phillip has been very diligent of the largest loser contest so I told him I'd fix supper for them after his class tonight. Plus we wanted to hear about the weekend at Parkersburg. We ate Chinese. Teriacki pork and vegetables plus chicken sesame & sweet and sour chicken. I took carry out. Nice meal. Plus Fruit pizza.

Spring is coming soon! I hope.

Monday Jan. 26. As Denny and I sit in our warm little office where the computer is...it was a pretty good day. We worked at the unit...weighing and marking small pigs before noon...giving shots to 925 pigs after lunch. I went with Missy to the rec center from 5-6:15. Eight Bible study girls came at 6:30. Denny and I sit in the office just visiting. Tomorrow will be early for me at the rec center. I did fill out a survey for my airline ticket. Now hopefully I will win a free round trip ticket to any place in 48 states. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Both Nancy and Gail are flying to Texas on the 20th of Feb. Hopefully Jean can join us too.

Sunday Jan. 25 Worked at unit. Missed having my donut boy go with me to SS. After church Mike and Brenda Bergman asked us to join them at Subway. They also invited Kenny and Cyndi Ferris who came to church today for the first time with their 5 kids. Awana Sunday and quite a few wore their uniforms. Lazy afternoon and church tonight. Gail called last night and she has gotten tickets to fly to Brownsville also. She had misplaced her coupon so I gave her my code numbers and they found her name with the $200 credit. She even got a lot better price than I did. This picture was taken at Awesome Biker nights at Sioux City this summer.

R&R Sat. Jan 24 Jensens left about 7:30 am for Parkersburg where Phillip is preaching 2 services on Sunday. We worked at the unit and then went to Howard andAnabels for a visit. This picture is from June celbration. In the afternoon Denny worked on books on the computer and I worked on digital photo album pages. As I worked the process time got slower and slower. The machine was just a humming. About 6 Denny started a fire in the coop and some polish sausage in a fry pan. We put away tubs of Christmas decorations is the attic and made salad. Nice warm supper in the quiet of the coop. Then we watched a video of a church Christmas program where Luke was about 3-4.

R&R Fri. Jan. 23 The picture was taken Thur. at the rec center. No, I don't thnk they are a couple of block heads. Missy subbed today so I watched the kids a couple hours in the am... Denny thinks I'm so LUCKY!!! I think so too. I took E&A to great granny's. She sent home a sample of Diane's great meat balls. In pm I had a home school field trip. The Ida County naturalist had owl pellets for about 15-20 home schoolers to dissect. I gave 2 Bergman and 2 Master kids a ride. Then after the science lesson I took the 4 to Selections and Dollar General and they picked out things for the Awana store. Pretty easy shopping for me. They would pick up something...I'd say "Put it in the cart." Or we'd talk about it ," Would you spent 20 shares on this toy?" No guns or Barbie dolls...Just stuff they were interested in... a tape measure, a nurse kit, balls, cars, a tea set, puppets, etc. I also got a work out at the rec center during the pellet class. Susan watched the kids.
