Lots of bacon in am

Beautiful morning.  I went to IG around 9 and met up with Beth and Laura.  They got 2 ladders and I took them home in the pickup.  Toured the farm,  Beth thought the bridesmaids bouquets were ok.  Went to Rachel's to get the metal table for the coolbot.  Hurrah It fit in!!!  They got bacon that was being stored at Lynn's home.  We cut up 20 pounds of bacon and baked it.  The taste was magnificent.  So good to get it done.  They stayed for lunch, cleaned the kitchen up and then headed home.  Denny finished washing the house.  We mowed.  I mowed the pasture area across the road and made a bouquet for church tomorrow.

Stangl day

Early water exercise class.  I picked up Laura and we went to Storm Lake.  She went to WalMart and had a employee help her, I went to The bridge and dropped off some garden stuff.  After shopping we went to the beach and sat and enjoyed the wave's rythmic song.  We stopped at SOS before heading home.  Bomgaars in Storm Lake was selling plants for 25 cents.  But not in IG.  I guess I will have to keep checking.  At home I was really tired.  I had gotten ingredients for Denny' cilantro sauce.  YUM!  Mark S. came over to visit and have steaks.  Nice night.  Still no little one.

Wow!1 full day!! Lots done!!

AM mix at 5:30.    I stayed in town until Dose opened.  When I got home Hendersons and Laura were coming to take out wooden fence posts by cattle shed.  SO glad I didn't have to pick them up and put them in the bobcat.  It should make several more parking places for wedding guests.  Laura washed old tin buckets to put water bottles and ice in.  Jacob sprayed out the CSA shed.  I grilled hot dogs and we ate lunch at the picnic tables on the coop cement.  Laura stayed and she and I went to Bible study at Ginny's.  She came home with me until the Sunday school Lake view picnic.  Molly called to talk about wedding flowers and Denny and I ordered flowers supplies.  Laundry has not been on my top priority, but before I went to bed I folded and put away 6 loads of laundry.  Such fun!!  No baby yet.  Lord, keep all safe and trusting you.

Jack Day How fun!!

I set my alarm for 5:40 thinking I would need the extra sleep, but my inner alarm went off at 5.  I used Denny's head lamp and got a few flowers for an arrangement Mandy wanted.  After rec center I headed to Cherokee.  It was a fun day.  We kept busy going outside and riding the strider.  Jack took a short morning power nap.  Grandma Jan came about 11:45.  Denny had a Awana meeting with Pastor Dave to look at next years schedule.

Full Day

I went to AM mix and the sauna afterwards.  Meg gave me a ride from OGT to the tire shop to get car tires rotated and balanced.  I got a few groceries and headed home to take out the cattle barn fence.  At 5:30 I went to the Schleswig golf course for Chinese (yummy) and Julie and I played a round after supper.  Beautiful night for playing golf.  I shot a 53 and did terrible putting.  I'm ready to try a different putter.  Beth came to the farm and visited with Denny.  She said they need 10 roasters.  I'm not really sure where those can be plugged in????? interesting and just the thought made me not sleep the best.  Uffta!!!
                                     

Monday July 8 The baby is due!!

Jenn C. taught Bikes and abs this am.  Beautiful morning.  We worked outside most of the day.  Pat and Dana came to put the stain on the patio around 9.  I weeded the rows of flowers and had the sprinkler going.  I picked 3 wheelbarrows full of weeds.  We mowed.  I took at nap.  MAN, was I tired.  I made guacamole and offered it to Denise and Jim when they came to apply the last coat of sealer on the patio, but they had too full of a schedule.  I am tired of weeding and they just keep growing.  Uffta!   We had a nice visit with our airbnbers from Australia.

The guessing game spread sheet......

Home and get ready to finish patio

We said good by to Keith and Jane and were home by 11:15.  Next came getting the bob ready for Australians.  We got 'er cleaned and went to Chair yoga at 5.  Mary Kay and John invited us and Chad and Wendy L for supper.  SOO good and such a nice time to to get to know all of them.  When we got home we got the patio ready to be stained and finished. We took everything off the concrete and moved them into the garage or on the deck or in the grass.   I can hardly wait.  I think it is really going to be nice.  Guesses of names and dates are coming in as Luke and Karen's due date is July 8.  Please pray, we are so looking forward to another sweet one.

 I asked Mugs which one of the rows did she think we were  living in????  

She thought the front row, only we did not have dresses on.

Would you like to be by all those fish?  Me, neither.
