Saturday ... home :)

Just in bed, typing on the laptop, for a start to my day. Now at night ...again .... with my laptop, typing in bed ...it has been a very good day.  I called Olde Town and yes they would take flowers.  So I picked them and took them in at 12.  Stopped at Lynn N. and they were thinking about going to Olde Town.  Went home and took lunch to Denny who had spent all morning working on getting the lawn mower fixed.   We at out by the fire pit, then Anabel came out to visit with us. So nice.  Denny got some manure for me to put on my tilled up 5 foot row.  Lots of manure...  more than 7 inches thick through out the whole 5 foot row.  I wonder if it is too much and will burn up the $125 worth of Stargazer lilies that I ordered this am.  UFfTA!! Will pray about that one.  Alan, Laurie, Lois and Sue came to spend a couple hours with Jensens here at the farm.  At 4:30 we headed to Ardie and Jerry B. 40 anniversary get together at Kiron South Park.  Then to Olde Town, We met Toshi and Lynn,  I thought it was  very fun and relaxing to sit and listen to music. Home for a taste test with Jensens on the deck.   Thank you, Jesus for the blessing in my life!!  Pictures of anniversary couple, Olde Town get togethr where Ken H has a picture he painted.

Audra's wedding

Missy headed in to school early, so I got to do Anabel's hair. When I got to school at 8 went to informational on organizing gmail.  Uffta.  One student has been a stinker and lost his privelege of having a chrome book.  Not a happy camper.  During success I made a contract with him to improve his behavior and earn back the privelege.  It would be a miracle if that works, not holding my breathe.  It is hard to get them to realize they are in charge of their behavior.  After school I got classes in order for a substitute for Monday.  Then a quick trip to the bank and Selections to get some cards.  At 5:05 we headed to Orange City.  We got there when Alan was walking Audra down the aisle.  He had hip surgury this summer and had been working hard to be able walk down the aisle.  Nice wedding. One of the best parts was seeing Matt and Becky's friends Tim and Jen R. Matt and Becky met at their wedding.  Their 4 year old has had about 4 heart surguries.  Got home around midnight. Pictures from wedding. ..................................................................

Nothin special about today ... except another day to praise the Lord...That makes the day GREAT!!!

Got to school kinda early. Coffee on deck, so nice. We had rain last night so everything looked fresher.  School went fine.  I stayed kinda late just puttsing around.  Went home about 6:30, CSA was over.  I helped clean up, Denny spent time with the preschooler, Brooks.  So cute.  I had put chicken and stuffing. We, 7,  ate arouond our little circle table.  On a more personal note, I continue to have this rash yuck.  Two spots moved from my right leg about a week ago, to four spots on my left forearm the last couple days.  It itches, but I feel if I itch it it will spread. Joann gave me some cream and I got it yesterday but does not seem to affect it.  I don't know if it is related to Evan's breakout a couple weeks ago, or poison ivy at Matt's acerage or just my badness coming out.  Anabel has kind of a break out on her face too.   I hate to go to the doctor to check on it. so will just try to wait it out.  If it does not improve, I better see Dr. L.

Flowers for Audra

Got up early to cut greenery and flowers for Audra's wedding.  It is going to be outside and she wanted fresh flowers to line the aisle.  I took the flowers into Ken's before school,  At school a student and I went to the grocery store to get supplies for making hamburgers on Thursday,  Cathy suggested that a student be exited after I spent 3-4 hours working on his IEP last Saturday.  Uffta.  After school we had a big talk about how we were going to get the tests read to 8 students in one class that are all at different levels.  Double uffta. I went to Ken's and Audra and her fiancee, Lourme' met me there.  Ken helped pick flowers from his garden.  They were really happy with the results.  I headed to Arthur and visited with Denny alittle, then to Church to meet for Awana and 4-6 grade girl leaders.  Home and Missy had grilled burgers. After supper I went to deck and worked on computer.  Mandy called on her way home from work.  Great to visit.  Now to bed I go.  Pictures of flower buckets,  and projects done at St. Joe farm.  Clean shed in the back yard, Trim the dead off the fruit trees, and change 9 light bulbs in living room light fixture.   Good night,..........................................................    

Back at school

KInda slow getting around this am. But made our coffee date at 7 on the deck. One student left after keyboarding. Helped a student in math nad it went well. I need pictures to figure out whether to mult or divide with the decimal system. During success we had a staff meeting. Sent out an email with the word now instead of the word NOT ... big mistake. UFFTA!!!  Pictures of family from Justine and Kevin's wedding.

Labor day was so nice.

I was in bed until 7:15. That's late for me.  We ate a little breakfast.  I headed to the garden and ran the tiller around the flower garden to keep the weeds out.  Keelie the dog really like to play/rest in that dirt.The Grands were playing outside and wanted to help.  So I hired then to pick up the weeds that the tiller turned up.  We worked about 15 miutes and then we shared a can of pop. We worked another 20 minutes and shared sooe fresh peaches from Becky.  YUM!!  Denny go the tiller on the back of the tractor and turned up a 5 foot area for me to plant some perennial cut flowers.  Pictures are from wedding.  Mandy and Jason walking out together  A picture Anabel drew for me. The two block walk from the capital to the reception............................................................... 

Sunday at Savannah

I slept pretty well this am. I heard Kane stir and went lay in his bed with him for a while.  He went back to sleep and so I went and took a shower.  Worked on several projects, inside and outside. Hirschmans left a little after lunch.  Brady had come down with them.  Frank brought the piano with the horse trailer Friday night,  Jenny had come earlier like Monday last week.  We walked the pasture.  Looks like poison ivy in the fence rows and by trees.  YUCK!!!  Took aanother hot shower.  We ate Mexican at Savannah before driving home.  Talked to Gail as I drove through Atlantic.  Pictures So nice to spend time with the Grands
