Didn't get much done

There was dough for me to make into onion buns this am, but they didn't turn out as well as they usually do.  two batches   Grands liked them and ate them even if they didn't look the best.  I put together flowers for CSA and tried to decide where to put the peonies and other plants.  I did plant the dahlias in a row.  I mowed the lawn before lunch.  Denny changed his haircut so I took him in at 1.  Then back home.  Didn't get a nap,  got supper ready.  Potatoes with lemon butter and parmesan.  Sliced tomatoes.  I made poppers for CSA tasting.  We had Jensens over for supper and to watch the Olympics.  Fun to watch.

Free plants. At shopko

Up and picked flowers for CSA after devotions   Denny had physical therapy at 8. I went to shopko to get a present for Anabel who is headed to a birthday party this afternoon.  There were plants out I the parking lot marked free.  So ingot a bunch.  At home I filled the tubs in the CSA barn and watered the dried out free plants. Denny had a blood draw scheduled for 10:15 and so we stayed in town .  At home I worked most of the afternoon and night until dark weeding  and trying to decide where to put the plants.  Uffta!!! So many weeds
I did watch olympics for about an hour with Grands. So much fun to watch

Saturday happenings

Fixed breakfast for Denny. Mark came about 10.  Larry and Joann came to start to take down and move the grain bin. That's a praise!!!  I got my haircut with Mary.  She has a new Grandson ... Weston. At home I helped pick green beans,  finished washing the flower plastic containers, put the drop hose on the lisies, out mud supports around the base of the lisies that the wind flattened last Minday, and watched the Olympics.
Darn dog Keelie likes to eat cucumbers and dead pigs ... Uffta. Cooks are in Italy

Always fun to talk to sisters on Saturday ams.

Another full day

Full day.  I fixed Denny breakfast, About 9:30 I went out to put together 20 jars of flowers for a wedding.  I am so glad I picked the star gazer lilies about 10 days and put them in the cooler.  They would have been long gone.  It was fun to put them together.  Missy came over to chop of veggies for salad.  Kristinmakers came and picked up flowers at 11.  It took a while to clean up flowers after lunch.  Mark came to do windows right before we went to physical therapy for Denny.  I stopped and looked at the skate palace.  Beautiful.  Then to city hall to take King Theater donation of $155 plus $395 from before. ($550)  While we were gone Mark got the windows in.  I stopped over and brought Missy her blog book.  She had a table full of school supplies and putting names on the  pencils, etc.  We are having fun tonight trying to figure out who the commercial sponsor is. Great day!!





Up and happy to be alive.

Home again Home again ... never take the simple route

Up at 5.  Put Coffee cakes in baggies.  Went out to CSA and made 12 bouquets for Farmer's Market.  Out to check the 2 pens of pigs, Over to Jensens to feed the kitties.  Made tomato basket for the nurse that Denny had yesterday and today.  Loaded the Prius to go to FM. Got the pickup out of   machine shed, showered,  dried hair AND headed to SC by 8:35  Uffta! I went to Pella Window and picked up the 2 egress windows that we had ordered.  I talked to Denny and he wanted me to get finishing material for around the windows, inside and out at Home Depot.  Instead of 10 foot vinal, they only had 12 foot.  Double uffta!! How do I get them to stay in a 5 foot pickup bed with 2 expensive windows in it.  I drove about 15 miles per hour thru the detour from Gordon Drive to Dakota Dunes.  And, of course, on the intersection to Gordon Drive the car in front of me stalled.  I stopped and checked on the back extension... and for the next 15-20 minutes many cars and big trucks kept the lane to my right full so I could not get out from behind of the stalled car. Finally one kind soul let me in and off I went at 10 miles per hour for the 10 miles to Dakota Dunes ... constantly looking in the rear view mirror.  That long extension just a swaying and bouncing up and down.  Thank you Jesus I made it.  I got Denny loaded up after about an hour.  And as we were approaching the on ramp to I29 he wanted to stop and add another sinch down cord over the windows.  I missed the turn; the only place to stop was along  ... the on ramp.  Not a good choice. Make it Triple Uffta!!! Long story Short  We made it home.  :)  Bible study was meeting there.  I got Denny situated and sat and had a cup of coffee with 4 gals.  Then to FM.  After I got home Jensens came over.  Oh, did the Grands have lots to talk about.  Such a great vacation.  We looked at photos on the TV.  Thank you, Jesus, Denny is home and on the way to recovery.
