OGT

 I was up and went to OGT,  Denny had PT and  and eye appointment.  I stopped to get him some pain medicine before heading home.  I am trying to update my blog which is behind about a week.  Uffda!! I can't get photos on blog.  Denny is out mowing.  We had REC meal at the fair grounds tonight.  

Keenage golf

 It's hard for me to stay in bed until 5, but I did.  I had devo out on the porch and saw the sun rise.  Then I went and cut off some weeds at ground level and got the flowers I put together for gal's golf.  When I got to Breda they didn't have a plan for me, but Linda S.? from Breda was kind enough to get her clubs and play with me in a 2 gal best ball.   We played with Mary and Carol (who gave me a scratch pad that she had crocheted.) We shot a 44, with 2 bad holes.    The people said they missed me, but really they just missed then flowers I bring for a door prize.  After golf lunch I headed to Carroll,  the Rav 4 had an oil change and a cabin filter change.   I went thrifting and got 5 dark blue glasses, 2 pillow cases to make table clothes for porch table, 4 square containers with lids,  When I got home we sat and visited with Tiago before going to the bunkhouse for the night.

Sunday, Fun day

 Up and out to put the flowers together for church.  There was a quarterly business meeting after church.  Then we went to Subway and met Goodenows.  SO GOOOD to visit with them and see pictures of Whitney and Daniels wedding.  We came home and I took a nap 3-6 Uffda!!  I went out to CSA and put together flowers for Keenagers.  Nice slow day/evening.  I texted Evan to say I really like the south window and being able to look at the tree.  AND I liked the shiny floors.

Home Sweet Home

Up to enjoy the day!!! Sister phone call at 7:15.  I was looking and walking all around our yard, just enjoying the green and lack of pollution/people/powerlines.   Later I met Charles, a cousin and groomsman of Xavier, Xaviar's father and a friend of the family.  who did not speak English.  Later I met Taigo who told me of his RV.  Denny went to mow for Larson's I picked veggies and fixed then for supper.  Then I got flowers for Monday golf and perhaps church.  It is lovely being home.

Travel Day I traveled (going to the airport, flying, layovers, and driving to the farm.) 39 hours

 I'm not even sure when this day started.  I think I got on the plane in Kathmandu after midnight and so it started then AND the day lasted 37 hours because I was traveling from EASt to west and the time zones kept turning the clock backwards.  ANYwAY  Left Kathmandu at 2.  Flew 5 hours to Doha where it was 5am.  Then got another Qatar plane and traveled 14.5 hours to Seattle where it was 7 pm when I landed.  Then left Seattle at 10 to fly 4 hours to get to Omaha just before midnight.  I got to watch several intellectual movies ... Clueless ... Legally Blonde ...  a movie about college roommates thru 4 years at college. ...  and another thriller, I'm sure.  IT WAS SO GOOD TO HAVE DENNY MEET ME AT THE OMAHA AIRPORT!!!  Thank you, Jesus for safe travels.  So thankful on the first leg of the flights I was in a row of 3 seats with only me.  Then on second flight of 14 hours I was in the very back seat, an arms' length away from the bathroom.  (luckily I could ignore the lady who got sick to her stomach in the bathroom with the door open about half way thru the 14 hour flight.  AND the 3rd flight I was the only person in the row of 3 seats.  YES!!!  I could lie down when I could spread out between the 3 seats.  There were no hiccups to my traveling.  Except I misplaced by earphones on the last flight and was told not to listen to my audio book without ear connection.  I did take the time to make a couple collages.  It was so sweet when Brooks and Anabel cheered each other on and were at the finish and start of each race to give support.  It was all so much fun to see elementary principal, Missy cheering on her students.  Thank you, Jesus and all who prayed for my trip to Nepal and home.

Swim Gala and head home ..... :)

I kept waking up during the night, maybe I drank too much pineapple juice and sprite.  Quick shower and started my devo outside.  After everyone left I finished my devo and talked to Denny.  Man, did he get a lot done on Wednesday!  Dr. Meyer started the procedures to have hip surgery for Denny sometime after Oct 7th.  We go to Madison Oct 5 -7th  for Jim and Carol's 50th wedding anniversary celebration.  Phillip picked me up at home and we drove to get Missy at KISC and then to then swim Gala.  It was fun to watch Brooks and Anabel swim.  I rode back to school with the elementary students.  In the end of school dismissal they told me goodby and sang This Little light of mine.  It was rainy,, but we played Pickleball on the outside BB court with Lopers and Timothy and one other teacher.  At home we chilled, I packed, and about 7:30 we headed toward the airport.  We went out to eat at The Roadhouse that was on the circle that was around the Stupa.  After a great meal,   Brooks, Phillip and I got ice cream. l They took me  to the airport about 10 and I got checked in.  I put my 2 pieces of luggage that were going to be checked in a wheeled cart and went to wait in the Qatar line ... Oppps, Where Is my backpack.  Luckily it was back on the floor after going thru the scanner machine and LUCKILY no one picked it up.!!! Thank You, Jesus.

Step climb again

Nice phone call with Denny, who was tuckered after moving to the bunk house.  He had pulled the blackout curtains down and was ready to go to sleep.  In the morning the mountains were out so I went to the admin building and took a picture.  At KISC I was sharing the student support room with the tester for student support. I finished my devo and worked on Iheart memory editing.   I also put in an order for spring blue bells from Small Grower flowers.  50 for $40.  I need to keep looking on email for the billing. I sent most of the day trying to figure out how to get bread made for supper.  I helped with 3 second graders then walked home to get flour, butter, Well, I got home and Missy called," The PE staff were setting up the PB nets and she would get on her scooter and come and get me.  SO I didn't get the bread stirred up.  BUT I did get to play PB for about 30 minutes.  Next was swimming with the 3rd graders for 1 hour 20 minutes.  I had the buss let me off and I headed back to Civil Homes to mix up the bread so it could rise.  Then walk back to school and go with the 5th graders fro swim for 1 hour 20 minutes.  The bus let me off and I went back to Civil homes and started baking bread and mixing up cookies.  Uffda!!  I took the last loaf out at 4 :30 and we left to Williamsons at 4:40.   We went there for Team meeting.I am so thankful I got to spend time with the team people.  

OH, YES, and I for got that on my first trip back to Civil Homes I had to go up 140 steps.  7 flights of steps to retrieve my traveling mug that I forgot way up there when Kristine and I went to visit yesterday after school at Trinity Cafe.   Uffda!!!  That's a lot of steps that would not have been necessary IF I would remember my stuff.  Uffda!!
