Last regular school day

Ran 3.6 miles today. At school I started the oven for pizza. There was a late start for a student.  Boy am I shot. So tired. Fixed a quick supper and Denny went out to mow at the unit. No contact from Iowa Select. I visited Cherry Creek and took the step ladder back. Grandma Laurie and Grandpa Alan came today to help with getting Cherry Creek ready to live in.

Wow did we get alot done!!

Long day!!!  Anabel was a trooper and really helped me weed.  It was so nice.  We worked on all the beds.  I don't even know what all we did, but it felt good at the end of the day.   Then she helped Denny wash the car.  I am ready to call it a school year.  Should have been out by now.  Still 4 days left to work.

Donuts before SS

I did not run this am.  Just looked on line at stuff.  I did go out about 45 minutes later and dig holes and set out dahlias to plant later today.  We got donuts with Grands.  Brooks sat with us in church... and visited with Jaci.  After church I headed to Joyces and bought $73 worth of bearded tounge, cleome, snap dragons and asparagus root.  Home to clean up kitchen, take a nap and plant the dahlias.  We went to memorial day fire pit at pastors from 6-8.  Denny vacumed all the carpets.

Sat.

Up and ran 3.66 miles.  Then to flower garden to work on the flower beds.  Phillip put in dripper tapes for one of the long beds.  At 9 I went to shower for Jessica.  Denny headed in town and got some combination cattle panels to make flower supports for me.  We had left over pizza for  lunch.  Missy and Nathan M painted the bedroom at the Kiron house.  Denny set up a panel bending place on 16 foot trailer.  We went back to Bomgaars to exchange for just cattle panels and 3 inch screws.  Bent the panels when we got home.  Then up to pick up steel posts at unit. Denny took the trailer home to weld chains and 7 inch on the trailer end gate.  I weeded with Amelia and Missy tiny, tiny bunchng onions. Got metal picked up at the unit.  Then Denny put the sprayer on the four wheeler.  I drove while he walked with the sprayer in hand.  Then he used the booms to spray the rest.  I went back to weeding, figuring where to put plants until dark.   Jensens ate marinated pork chops and potatoes and onions that Denny grilled after 9 pm when I got dark.  WE were still on the deck eating at 12.  We did not see a meteor shower in  the north sky.

Friday came and went Missed blogging

Ran 3.6   At school last Friday for students.   We had 2 people that wanted to tour the unit.  Keep praying.  After school, I came home and then headed to the Kiron house to help Missy prime the bedroom. Then home. Denny was mowing. I worked in the garden.  We chilled out on the Adirondack chairs.

Thursday

 Ran 3.6 miles this am.  Denny really slept in, He must be tired because he is a year older.  Who knows what I did after that.  The days just stream by.  On my run there was a beautiful sunrise.  It reflected on the windows of the hog unit

Denny's birthday

No exercise.  Made sausage patties, hash browns with swiss cheese, fried eggs, orange julius, and cinnamon crunch bagels with cream cheese.  Ate with the Jensens. At school it was another day.  After school I picked up a cake that Diane C. had made and 3 pizzas from the Hut.  We ate with the Jensen's out  on the deck and Missy and Phillip went to the Kiron house.  Denny went to take a nap.  I worked out at the immense weed patch for a while and then came in to watch a DVD with the grands.

First motorcycle ride

Ran 3.6 this am.   After school I worked until 5 and then went to Bomgaars to check the price of cattle panels.  $21.  Put on jeans and met bikers at fire station.  17 of us rode to Sac city Cattleman's Company.  Good food.  Got back to IG and I stopped at the library for mom's night out.  Then home and did n't sleep the best.  Uffta  Denny thinks I should go to the doctor.

Last Monday of the school year

That's what one students said as he walked into first hour. How true it is.  One mom had car trouble and so we had the IEP over the phone.  It worked.  After school I planted all the live plants except the dahlias.  Pictures are of Kara's family.  So good to have Talia graduate from Iowa.
