I headed into PB before Denny got up. I took coffee out to the bunkhouse. It was too wet to mow the lawn. I went to study at Teresa's then to IG to the farmers market. it was a lovely afternoon. I gave away 3 bouquets and sold 7 @$15. I sold 4 Kettle breads @$5 and one bottle of vanilla. It was a good FM. AT home Denny chilled. kWe had BL sandwiches after we got home.
It was rainy. I sorted the sheets closet. I was home all day. I put the flowers together for the farmers market. At night Denny slept in the bunk house.
I woke Denny up about an hour before I needed to take hime to pastor and Pastries. I went out to the CSA barn and cleaned up the bathtubs. I went to OGT after I left him off. I picked up Denny outside the church AND WE WENT TI CHEROKEE!! Yes!! The boys fixed a quesodia for Denny. He rested andJack, Tyler and I went to the Aurillia driving range. T'was so fun to watch them. They really laughed at me showing them wrong ways to hit the golf ball. For supper we had a birthday party for slothy AND early birthday party for Tyler. Fun night with Jan and Cooks. Mandy and Jan had a VBS recap meeting. Lord, draw us all closer to you. Denny slept in our bed and not on the recliner.
Denny didn’t sleep well last night. I took him to church and then went to OGT. At 10:30 we drove to Cherokee, It was first time Denny has been out. Fun afternoon with biys hitting golf balls in Aulrilla. Great supper with party for slothy and Tyler.
I picked up Lynn for SS and came home before church. Naps and rest in afternoon. Sherry and I went to Prairie Pedlar about 6:30. Fun night. My left eye is a little better. Denny's wrist still hurts, but trying to keep ahead of pain with pills. So far the third day day has been the hardest. Especially because his wrist was hurting. I took 5 bouquets to PP for door prizes. It was SO pretty there. Good to talk too Hogues. Lovely night.
May God continue to bless your marriage and you put HIM first.
I was up and played PB from 8-10. I stopped for groceries and curtain hooks at Doses. Denny said he slept well last night in the living room with the curtain I hung over the window. He said I should keep track of his progress. I think he is doing very well. He has moved right along with dumps. He is taking pain meds before he needs them. Tramiddol and 3 hours later oxycodiene. Then 3 hours later tramadol. Denny started doing some exercises. I finished cutting the corn I cooked last night. I had started a beef roast in the crock pot. It turned out very tasty.
I got up for a great breakfast after a 35fast. Yum. Kinda cute Denny had about the same breakfast at the hospital across the parking lot. Mandy came about7:30. So good to have her. I went to an eye checkup at 10 and when I got done Denny was ready to head home. I stopped and got a take home from Mr. Stirfry. We stopped in IG to get his prescription for pain meds. After we got settled I went to Study at Susan's , them I went to Rydberg's and picked 2 5 gallon buckets of sweet corn. We boiled them outside and ate the yummy crab ragoon, stuffed mushrooms and pot stickers. SO GOOD!!! Denny slept in the living room I put up a bed spread on the big window to block the light at night.
I was up for devo, fold clothes, unload dishwasher, make bunkhouse bed, deliver vases to CSA barn, load of dirty clothes in washer, fold and put away clothes, load dishwasher, unload Prius, back out RAV4, Drive Prius in machine shed, shower, shampoo, dry and get in car to head to SC Dunes surgery. Oh, ya and keep Denny happy by avoiding hime who is having no breakfast and NO coffee. It's 2:30 and Denny has made it so far so good. He is headed back to bet a nerve block in his shoulder, that happens about 30 minutes before the 2 1/2 hour surgery. We started to go to the Dunes early enough that we stopped and booked/checked into my room in the motel within walking distance of where Denny will be spending the night. I ordered a couple iris bundles that will come in September.
I was up and got the coop ready for lunch. I was at OGT from 8-11. When I came home the road grader slowed down us getting home. There were 15 of us who got lunch in the coop and ate in the shade of the trees on picnic tables. It was really fun to have them. Good food, good people. We napped/rested and at 3:30 Maren, Grace, and Elsie came to tour the repurposed buildings. We stormed them for over an hour. How could I not have gotten a picture of Maren and her girls. Uffda!!After egg salad sandwiches we watched young guns and packed for surgery tomorrow.
Up after not sleeping very well. I played golf at Twin Lakes. With Sara T from Sac. We shot a 41 with lots of fun talk:). From there I went to Storm Lake and Alta. I helped at the Olive Branch from 3-5. Mandy met me there for shopping. When I got home i helped Denny finish mowing. I worked on getting ready for OGT to come gor lunch tomorrow
I was up and put together flowers for church. I also planted one bag of irises by the LO tank. At SS we visited about needs of our church. We went with Evan to subway for a sandwich after church. Naps in the home place. Then I got up and made about 10 flower arrangements. We left with Evan to get the Rav in Ames. So fun to hear Evan and Denny visit as we traveled to Ames. I defiantly love the flowers that surround my life. As of now the lisies are just starting to take off. My stargazer lilies are about done blooming. I posted patio flowers of DM gardens. Alan J. had a heart attack on Friday and is in the hospital for assessment. It has been great having Evan come for the weekends. this summer.
I woke at 4:30 ... and fell back asleep until 6:30. I had arranged to head to Alicia's to rescue irises. Kinda slow on the draw, but I did get there before 8. Lots to dig up!! I went to IG after getting 2 bags of iris. At home we moved stuff from bunkhouse into the home place in preparation for Denny's surgery on Wednesday. Kinda fun to unpack and watch a couple of Hallmark movies. Evan spent the day reading and working out in IG. GREAT DAY!! At night Denny grilled burgers and we had pasta salad. time to head to our bed in the home place.
I played PB in the am/ rode in with Lynn. She dropped me off and I joined Denny getting ready for supper. I napped, fixed food and put together flowers for them. Such a nice visit!! Goodenows and Raabs. Denny fixed chicken, grilled breaded zucchini and cheesy green beans. I fixed pasta salad and lemonade and sweet tea. Susan brought an amazing fruit salad in a footed torte bowl and raspberry pie.. Mary Kay brought grape cream cheese pecan salad and yummy chocolate cookies. EVEN BETTER than the food was the time spent with good Christian friends. So very golden, the time spent together.
I went to play PB in IG until 10. Then headed to Alta to help with hanging of winter clothes, leggings, etc until 3. I headed home and Denny had supper ready to go. Love that Guy!! I am loving the plants on the patio!!
Happy birthday, Lincoln. It looked like you had a great surprise party!!! May you always have God's joy in your life.
Kids left for Nepal today. I went to OGT. Deny cleaned, cleaned, cleaned downstairs. Quite the Guy!! Amazing.
I loaded the car and headed to Cherokee. I golfed with Andrea C. and rode in her cart. Nice morning. I didn't shoot very well, but thankful to be alive. I left and headed to Mandy's. Andrea said I could use her cart when th boys and I played. When I got to Cooks, the boys were making game shirts for their Stuffies for the BB game. So cute. Jack forgot to put Coach on his shirt and had tomato another. Tyler put stripes on the plastic grocery bag. They were playing and talking so nicely I hated to stop their activity and go golfing. But we did. I had sold 4 bouquets, and guess our team won first place in second flight. $15 for each of us. Andrea, Lola and Karen. I also won a doorprise. My lucky day golfing. The boys had one club slip out of the cart and so we went back to find it... and misplaced another. Uffda!! I had them each have 3 clubs, Driver, Iron and putter. We stopped by the creek on 5 and they hunted for golf balls. Jack need up lying on his tummy to reach a couple of balls in the stream. My watch had dead battery and so I didn't get the boys home in time and I ended up taking them to VBS and dropping off flowers to Andreas cart as a thank you. Great day in Cherokee. Denny shampooed the carpets upstairs. Work, Work. Work.
I was up early and started to put together flowers for church. After pictures in front of the barn we were off. During the SS presentation Craig and Marilynn walked in. What a nice surprise!! How kind of them. We invited them over for leftovers, but they weren't able to to stay until Jensens left for Ames. At home I worked on blog and napped.
Denny fixed breakfast for all. Missy and the boys went into IG. Anabel went Odebolt with Jessica and Sophi. At noon Denny started the ribs. Mandy and family and Jan came at 5.
