Pretty toes, Bagenstos brats, and watching DVD

Beautiful am Beth came a picked flowers.  I so appreciate her help.  Mandy and Jason went to look at  a home for rent in Cherokee.  Then Mandy came home.  Five of us headed to Spa Nails.  The little girls were so cute.  Haley got the giggles when her foot was massaged.   I gave Sa my half share of the produce and the practice bridesmaid bouquet.  For supper at night we grilled brats.  Laura and Nicole arrived from Colorado and Jan and John come down from Cherokee.  We all watched the video in our apartment before having ice cream and dessert.

Mandy takes test

Up to pick flowers with Beth B.  Made 42 sunflower vases for motel stayers.  Went to Skate Palace about 10.  Met with Timmy's.  Took flowers into the refrigerator at SK.  Didn't get home until close to 4.  Mandy took her statistic test from 4-8.  I went out to mow.  The Dixon didn't start.  Becky came and mowed.  Denny started Dixon and I mowed.  Dausels were out weeding.  The kids had a great time.  We ate out on the deck.  I am tired. You might say... PICTURES "Dog tired" Beth B. and myself picking flowers, Mo. Johnsons and garden.

Another fun day!!

Up and ran for 45 minutes. I got Denny up when I got home. It was 7:20. He had to hurry to get to work. AT 9:30 Mandy and I headed to Cherokee for final fitting of her dress. It looks so pretty. We went to Cooks and finished filling gift bags, then loaded pint jars into the Jeep.  At home Mandy studied and I mowed at the unit.  CSA came at 5.  Missy, Mandy Denny and I went to the SP and put burlap runners on the tables.  Home about 10.

Let the fun begin

Couldn't quite get back to sleep when I woke up too early thirty.  Lots to think about.  I worked and watered flowers.  Still need to plant  bulbs that came as replacement yesterday.  Oops.  I went in and wiped off my feet.  Gals were coming from11-2.  ???  Lynn, Laura, Janet, Sheri, Daphne, Kay, Ann, Kerry, Kathy, Cathy and Ashlyn,  Fun time,  At 4:30 Mandy and I went to talk to Simply Elegant. We took stuff to Skate Palace. At home, they danced a little and decided to keep it really simple because Mandy has class work to finish and a wedding to organize.  All the right steps are low on her priority.  We chilled a little on the deck before heading to bed.

Got to go see Everett

Left about 7 to head to Des Moines to see little Everett in Mercy Hospital. I got there about 10 and afterr finally finding the hospital found Katie and Adam walking the hall with E. What a little trooper he is. We shared some bubbles and he liked their notebook, ipad. Grandma D came a little later and we visited in area while they got some well needed naps. On the way home I looked around Carroll. I didn't buy anything, just looked. Mandy met me in Odebolt and we took some things to the Prairie Pedlar. Pictures of E

Work and wedding

No running this am.  But it was beautiful out when we had coffee on the deck. About 10 Denny, Mandy and I went to IG.  At Skate Palace the DVD of power point worked.  Also, I can do flowers there and keep in a big refrigerator  until Sat.  That is great news.  I won't have to transport arranged flower vases.  The Country club will need a DVD player to show PP.  We ate lunch with CSA.  I had put together an egg casserole for lunch.  Mandy (and Denny, haha)  put hinges on windows.  Mandy is using them to display the assigned seating charts.  I mowed the lawn.  The flowers look gorgeous.  So pretty.  I had time to  dream about how I can have others enjoy my flower garden, when I have such a fun full week ahead. Denny and I went to Whitney and Tim's wedding at 5.  When we got home about 9 Missy and Mandy were working on seating charts.  I am thinking about going to see Everett in hospital tomorrow.  Nice day.

I put a little fence around the asters.  Justin fixed super lamb burgers for lunch.  He had favulous carmelized red onions with it.  Mandy and I went to town in afternoon.  I watched boys in Dose garage sale and Missy and Mandy ran to trail with Anabel riding bike.  We got home by 5.  There was a planned bean snapping party going on.  Jensens ordered pizza.  It tasted great.  I was a beautiful night to be outside working with others.  Lots of beans with the ends snapped off and blanched and ready to put in freezer bags.  I saved my portion for Sunday Brunch after the wedding.  Really tried to pick out the most tender beans.

We met Jan at Sequins.  Still need some more alterations.  Then to Jan's for lunch and to stuff gift bags.  About 62 of them.  Back in IG we checked for shoes for kids and looked at lace at Selections.  At night we started an assembly line making programs for wedding. We ran out of double stick tape with more to do.  Worked on invite to Sunday brunch next week.
