Coffee at folks The silo came down today. Wow! Was that a shock to see gone when I drove down the road to our house. Drama at school. Like always. CT and teasing. I ran the trail after school. Then stopped at Don's, I had a check engine light on. Denny is starting to move stuff back into the honeymoon suite. Nice phone call from Luke tonight. I know I didn't say that Missy started to paint in the rooms with the new floor. Looks good. My independent living class made Chocolate chip cookies, ham cheese puffs and steamed carrots today.

Wed. March 30

Coffee at folks. Brought 3 workers home for Phillip after school. CM BW KF I worked on assignments for Morningside 407 and submitted 3 of the 10 I need to have done by Saturday. Uffta. Then it was to Arthur at 7 :30 to lead Awana Games. They love to race around and play over the human hurdle. They also like human tug of war. The third winner tonight was drink the pop out of a cup while on your knees using no hands after you have run around the Awana circle. I was up too late tonight. HOW CUTE IS BROOKS?

Tuesday March 29

Coffee at folks. Anabel is very tired. After school Denny got paint to retouch the furnace room. I went to Wall Lake and exchanged a window for a larger window. I had a hair cut there at 5:45. I got a few groceries. At home Phillip and Denny were moving the big things back on the new floor. We visited a little with the Jensens after moving. E&A made a race track around the living circle. Bathroom to furnace to kitchen to living room to bath room. They did lots of laps. Now I'm ready to go to bed. Denny met today and yesterday with Pete about unit.

Monday March 28

Coffee at folks, little A came along. Chemo starts today. At school I had an IEP for JM. It went okay. There was an early out for Professional Development. When I got home it stunk!!! The new basement shower room and furnace room floor was being installed. I worked in the sunroom for a while. Missy had sunshine sauce for supper. Scott VD left about 6:30. He said the floor should be done about 7:30 and ready to move things in. Denny got a new toilet to put in. Actually we went to bed about 8. We were tired and thought the floor should "cure" before we started to move furniture back. Point to note. Missy went to a gals exercise and book club at the rec center this am. The gals were talking about me. They said I was a pioneer. When Miss told me that I laughed it off and said that really made me feel old ... being a pioneer. They were referring to me running the country roads before running can into vogue. Karen P. said I could probably write a book about all the farmers who stopped while I was running, wondering what was wrong or if I needed a ride. Gotta love life, don't ya? :)

Sunday March 27

Donuts before SS. 16 in 2-5 year old SS class. Phillip preached. We took Laura and Stephen home after church. Hoagies from Music boosters. Nap in the afternoon. I tried to organize my HS classwork and think about plans for this week. Yes, it was busy when we took 5 grands to GGny's on Thurs. am. GGny Anabel starts her chemo again Monday. Please pray for her. The shower and furnace rooms are empty and ready for new flooring. I'll post before and after pictures when it is completed.

Saturday Mach 26

Left at 7:30 for Morningside College class. 407 Math practicum. Home at 3:45. Good thing, it was suppose to go from 9 til 3. We got out early. I got $140 worth of stuff at Menard's. Hopefully, I can return some of it. When I got home Denny was out looking at the possible greenhouse. We went to folks and visited for a while, then back home to put our feet up. How can doing nothing make me so tired? We ate a supper of Ham puffs ( the recipe that the independent living class is making this Thursday). Then we started moving stuff out of the furnace and bath room. Scott VD is coming to put in am epoxy type floor on Monday. About 8 we went out and walked around the yard. Quite an exciting life we lead. The four little lambs are sure cute. We got a bid on the unit Friday. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings.

Friday March 25

Coffee at folks. Graham and Eric had visited them yesterday. At school it is the last day for ITEDS. CB and I went to the grocery store. Mrs. W and I had a visit yesterday. I moved my first period class down to the ICN room. I took some pictures of what goes in each cupboard. After school I went to Wall Lake and got some glass windows possibly for greenhouse. At night we visited the neighboor and had snacks... guacamole, chips,meat,sour cream cheese dip. Nice time. Brooks is really taking 10+ steps sometimes. Wednesday night kids got a gift from Grandpa Johnson from his Denver trip ... anticipation ... Then a picture with turquoise necklaces for the girls and mountain animals for the boys. (Nothing for the baby, poor Brooks.)
