My wonder dog "Makons" decided at 3:30 she wanted out. Here is the rub. She won't go out without Otto and Otto isn't an early riser.
What a hoot. Makons just sits and woof's till Otto gets up. It is so irritating.
Then before you can say Donald Duck little Oto is scratching to get back in.
I need to give Orro a bath if I can fit it in.
Busy but then every day seems busy.
FRIDAY the crud that is going around caught up with Linda.
She is sick as a dog so I went in and started cleaning the church early on Friday at 8:30 and then prayer group with Pastor Dale. He will be gone this week. A break. It was good meeting with him, I wish more would Jojn our prayer group, so far it is just Linda and I.
Of course we had Bone Builders at 10am and at 11 we cleaned the church, Nancy S disinfected all the tables and kitchen, Sally swept all the downstairs tile floors and Betty cleaned the bathrooms. Darlene vacuumed and Patty mopped all the tile up and down and Roger and Jean did the sanuarary, I the narthex and pastors office and upstairs bathrooms. It's a big church but we have a wonderful team that can do the job. YAHOO.
I worked at the Library Saturday and got a lot of the paperbacks in alpha order. We are putting in new shelving. Looks good and the balance of the shelving should arrive today. I will be there by 8am. Whold cleaning I came upon Linda's valentine cookies, I had one, my first sweet in a month. I don't think I am making any progress. I feel fat as a pig. Didn't weigh in last week. Will Tuesday night.
SUNDAY was fun, church, Went to Martha Wilde's because she wasn't in church. She came down with the crud. She is 89 so not good. I love visiting her dog "Foxie" and she has the hugest solid gray cat. So friendly. I needed to bring her our bible study book.
Then I went to Nancy Green's and brought over a different bath chair. I think it will work better. Her other one is just so huge. I talked about Grand Rapids and she said a ride would be fun so we took off. As we got to the North end of town on the shortcut, we realized we were only 1/2 a mile away from The Grand Itaska Rehab Center and Dee Hanson's husband is there with a broken leg so we called Dee and she was on her way there and we did the pop in.
He looked way too good to be a patient.
We then went to Wall-Mart. Nancy had never been on one of their scooters. We we remedied that and off she went to do a little shopping in her electric cart. It's a big stor and walking it is just not realistic for her. Was fun and I picked up some suit for the birds at Cub. I forgot my Honeycrisp apples. I am upset I forgot them. I just ate my last one.
I would like to go to the Y this afternoon. All depends on the shelving and when FED EX drops them off.
I need the walking. I finally got my fitbit online. About time.
I talked to my Alexis this morning. So good to do so. I miss my kids but their life is so busy.
Well I need to clean up my sewing room. Can't put it off any more. I think I will take a CD player to the Library. They don't have one and I think I have a few.
Life is good.
Jim has informed me we need to tighten our belts. Now is that realistic and with my mentality about money, how do I do that. I have my upcoming trip with the kids. So excited about that.
Can't wait.

JUST POSTED THE WONDERFUL FAMILY NEWS - NOW TODAY'S NEWSHe
Here it is Thursday already and I have to decide where to go to weight watchers today. Susan couldn't reach me on Tuesday morning so she made other plans for the W.W. Meeting in Walker. I was having fun with Sharon getting her on her way. She had been here since Friday and our time together was jam packed with fun events. On Saturday we were working at the Library and she got all the paperbacks from "P" into the "S's" in order. We have new shelving for the paperbacks. Four bookcases and two more will be arriving by Friday. We are excited. I know, it's a silly excitement, like over a new recipe for salmon marinade. I have one by the way we just love.
MARINATED SALMON
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
1 pound skin on salmon fillet
Marinate overnight skin side up
Broil 6" from broiler 12 minutes
Allow salmon to rest 5 minutes
OK I never pretended it was good for you but it sure taste good. Anyway back to reporting, we feel we accomplished much at the Library, got home by 2:30 and had some homemade chicken vegetable soup ad left for D.O.S.S., it was at Nancy Green's. Fun fun fun.
Sunday of course we had church but I can't remember Sunday afternoon. Don't you just hate memory lapses.i know we had the wonderful lake trout fish Sharon brought up. she also brought up some Korean Sesame Sauce, a Kalbi Marinade made by Kowalski's in Minneapolis. I could drink it, it's good. I will buy a case next time I go to Mpls. Which will be for Mac's birthday, Fedruary 21st. Skye and I are taking Hope to the Pantages to see "Oliver". Back to dinner, Sharon always brings us something wonderful. It was.
I wish I could remember, oh yes, Sharon took Jim and I out to lunch at "The Pickled Loon" a new bar in Remer. It replaced "L.J.'s".
MONDAY of course we had Bone Builder's at 10am and we took a drive over to Longville. Almost everything was closed on Monday in Longville. What a hoot. I did get some flowers for Gail who is going through Chemo. We dropped them off on the way home. Sharon being a breast cancer survivor had a little something for Gail.
We had soup again for lunch, I made a stock pot full, yummy.
Sharon took off TUESDAY morning and we had to go to the Rapids. Our tires are not holding air the way they should. We stopped in at Verizon and looked at the new phones we are going to get. By hook or by crook Jim is going to get a waterproof one. We will go back on February 12, that is the date we sign our new contract. Jim has since talked to Verizon and we will update some things and get some discounts. He is a master at that.
We got some more flowers, the ones I got at Tabakas in Longville were already fading so I got 2 bunches at Cub, when I got home I brought a bunch to Martha and a bunch to Gail from the women at church. The WELCA women. On Wednesday Jim and I went out to see Marcia and Al. Now starting Monday he will be facing skin grafts.

Well what a blessing that has happened, my brother Mark and his girl Jean have finally made it official. They are engaged.
How very wonderful for Mark and how very wonderful for us to have yet another sister. She is perfect for Mark and I love the Gislason connection. She is the widow of Lyle and Lyle is the brother of Neva Gislason on of my sear friends and classmates from school. Lyle is a year older than Neva and I. I just wish Neva was around to enjoy it. Can't wait to tell Deanne.
Loosing friends is the part of life you have to accept but you never get used to it. I still miss Audrey and she has been gone at least 28 years.
