SUNDAY AND RAIN RAIN RAIN
Well yes - it's on a raining cycle.
I am afraid we are stuck there for awhile.
Sunday was busy, we had rain seeping in to the Pole Building and that is where I store boxes, boxes and more boxes.
Many got wet so I had to do some quick hustling along with Jim and get the dry ones to church and the wet ones re packed to new boxes. Only had to rewash 2 loads of clothes so far, not bad considering the rain.
First we had church in the morning, Jim and I ushered, he also served communion. I made chocolate chip walnut cookies and cut up apples. Ushering is always fun. We had 36 by Jim's count.
We took a car load and a who,e truck load to church and the rain didn't let up much yesterday. I have my car full again and as soon as it gets light I will run another load in. I have lots of paper work to do today and flyers to get up around town. Here it is only 5am and my mind is going 100 miles an hour.
What a twit.
My Skye turns 40 tomorrow, I can hardly believe it.
Where does the time go?

SATURDAY
As I start most blogs, busy busy busy.
I can tell you about one change.
Jim was talking to Verizon yesterday and told them I was about ready to throw my iPad out the window because I can never sign on. They had him shut my phone off and then they did something yo it and walla - I can get on in the blink of an eye.
Why oh why wasn't it that easy from the get go.
He was calling then because some number keeps calling him and he can't call it back so he had them block the call for 3 months. Then he just mentioned my iPad problem.
My brain is getting full of "The Rummage Sale".
Hard to think of any thing else.
I am very excited about Sharon coming up.
I will have to have a mini-fish fry when she gets here.
I also need to think of what I will make for the Bake Sale.
I am trying to think of what went on Thursday but I can't remember.
Ah, we had Crafters at Lorretta's and Jim picked me up.
We had a 1:00 afternoon appointment for the VA to see a nutricitionist about their weight loss program.
Hope it works for him and maybe I can piggie back on him and loose weight too.
Got back for dinner and met John and he and I sold tickets for Bingo at The Loon. I picked up June and she went with me.
Maybe next week I can go and play.
Friday I washed clothes, bedding, went to prayer group at 8am, Bone Builders at 9am and we cleaned the church at 10.
I was home by noon, stopped at The Muni for boxes and got home so I could spend the afternoon making cookies for Sunday, we are ushering.
I managed to start on my Rummage Sale letters and printed out my flyers.
Now to shower and get going. Need to get the flyers up today, will call Monday about the Ad.
Later.

THURSDAY AFTER MOTHER'S DAY
I have such a hard time getting in to the Internet on my iPad - what a joke making my phone a hotspot. It was so easy getting online today but sometimes it can be for up to half an hour and I just get frustrated and just give up.
I had such a wonderful Mothers Day. I went down to the cities on Friday but first Jim and I both drove separately to Baxter so we could get shots in our left eyes. Jim then continued on to Cross Lakes to fish with Jerry and I to Skye's in Mounds View, she colored my hair and
Skye and I had a nice pork chop dinner at her place, I somehow lost part of a tooth so I had to deal with a sharp edge till Monday.
SATURDAY morning Skye and I did some crafts and I got to Macs by 10am so I could go out with the family on the pontoon.
Mac and Laura went to a church event so lucky me I got to spend quality time with Hope and Hudson, we went to a park nearby, went home and ordered pizza and waited for Ali, Autumn and River.
Dot even did the pop in because she needed to pick up the dehydrator I picked up for her at Goodwill because she is going to make liver treats for her dog like Skye does, when Mac and Laura came home we had a fire for 2 hours, River and I managed to get it going.
I wish you could have seen Ali put Huddie to bed, Ali certainly has patients, got him to take a bath even and she and Autumn read to him. He had a fit but was a good boy.
SUNDAY Ali, River, Autumn, Skye and I went to the Science Museum and Omni theater.
What fun and then Ali and the kids went home after Skye cut Rivers hair.
I had a wonderful Mothers Day weekend, spent time with the kids and Grandkids and Mac and Laura gave me a wonderful Shutterfly book of our Mexico trip and Skye made me the most beautiful lap robe made from my Mothers blouses complete with feather stitching.
Got home MONDAY by 2:15, unpacked the car and made my 3pm dentist appointment, I lost part of a tooth on Friday night when Skye and I had dinner. I did some laundry and made my 6:30pm Lions meeting. Did I mention Jim had flowers for me, they were beautiful.
Tuesday I drove Gail to her radiation treatment appointment in Hibbing and we had time to go to a Goodwill store and I found a Chico blouse and two purses. Fun.
I got to the school to vote yes to a school bond issue, it failed by 36 votes. We really needed it to
pass. Jim and I had a nice dinner, he even had flowers waiting for me on Monday. Silly man,
I probably don't deserve him but I sure am blessed to have him.
WEDNESDAT we had Bone Builders and after I started cleaning out our Sunday School room at church. Got a hold of Nancy Green and she was going to run over to Walker alone on Thursday and pick up some death certificates and I told her I had time to go today so we went,
and also hit the grocery store. Rained all day.
We got a call from Darla to dinner so we picked up Jim and went out to Sugar Lake to Darla and Willies for dinner. Home by 8:30 and had a lovely dinner.
THURSDAY we have two appointments, Crafters this morning and a weight loss program in Brainers at 1pm.

SATURDAY
Here another week has gone by. We certainly have had a dryer than normal Spring. I was going on an adventure with Dot to Lou's Nursery in Big Stone SD but it turns out by next Friday when we we to go they probably would be out of plants. I know she wants tons of Geraniums for the restaurant. I need to talk to Mac, we also were making plans for going out on his pontoon next Saturday. It looks like that is our best bet for no rain. There is rain on the forecast and we need lit. Fire danger right now is high.
My back seems to be an issue these days and I am anxious to get outside and do some cleaning in the woods. Maybe Jim and I can clear another small area. You should see what he did last year in the Dogs fenced in area. We planted a Honeycrisp Apple tree. We want to plant two more in that area. We. Think there is room and the deer wouldn't be able to get at them so easy and break the limbs. That is what happened to our last apple tree.
We hear there is another huge bear in the neighborhood but he or she hasn't been here yet. The bear has been across the street.
I work at the library today. I did prayer group yesterday at 9 and Bone Builders at 10 and we cleaned the church at 11. Next week we clean at 10 on Wednesday because Linda is gone.
Gearing up for the Rummage Sale. It's funny because even when we are doing Bone Builders I sometimes loose count because I am gearing up for the rummage sale.
I wish I could just mark everything $2.00. Life is never that simple.
I need to get busy and make cookies too.
We are setting up differently this year and excited about the walking tacos stand.
I hate to see our members aging. It just gets harder and harder to do stuff.
There is still so much to do at church to get ready.
I am excited. It should be one of our best years ever.
Shower time. Had a nice note from Sonja yesterday and when I go to the cities for Mothers Day next week I really need to get in touch with some old friends.

FRIDAY ALREADY
I wish I didn't have such a difficult time getting online. I have to use my phone for a "hot spot" to connect to wifi and it can be such a pain, sometimes I just give up and have Jim set his phone to our hotspot connection.
Sometimes technology is not my friend.
Some very sad news, our friend "Skee" had just been put in to Hospice care.
I have always had such a special place in my heart for him. We had such sun together when I first joined the church and we were working together on the narthex. That was fun when we added that on, or when we got the parsonage ready for our pastor.
We will miss Skee's gentleness so much.
This week has been caotic but what else is new.
It is Friday and prayer group is at 9am - bone builders at 10am and clean the church at 11am. My back is not doing all that well so I am glad I have nothing scheduled for the rest of the weekend. I would like to go and see Skee. Will have to find out.
Food, I need food.
Later
HUDSON'S BIRTHDAY
WHAT A BLAST - Hudson had a "Lego Theme" party, I had the pleasure of making Lego Rice Krispie bars. Dot stayed over at Skye's on Friday night and helped me. We make two huge pans with M&M's. What fun, we also went to Moe's for the meat raffle and had wonderful chicken nachos.
On Saturday I needed to be at Mac's by 9:30, the party was such fun. Laura is so very clever and everyone loves Pinterest these days.
Skye got there by need for the pizza party. There were 10 kids and I believe Hope got out every one of her play dresses, thank goodness Skye helped put her room back in order and by 2:30 she and I went back to her place to nap. I napped.
Laura picked me up by 5:15 and we met Jim at Moe's for dinner, they have such good food. Jim went back to Skye's to munch on the Sour Cream Raisin Pie, it's the second she bought him, she truly believes a way to a mans heart is his stomach and in his case - she would be right. A thank you for Mexico.
Laura got us tickets for the High School play "Beauty and the Beast", it is the second play we have gone to together, I am so glad she included me, her niece was in the play and has a beautiful voice.
We went home on Sunday.

THURSDAY IS CRAFTER'S DAY-BINGO-MEAT RAFFLE-FOOD SHELF
It is a busy day and has been a busy week and I guess I like it that way, with my back I am afraid if I slow down too much, I will stop. There is so much to do. We changed our Bone Builders classes to 9am starting next week, irs on M-W-F and we do enjoy it. We have about 4-6 most days. I have spent About 3 hours putting away Sunday School stuff so it's all about the Rummage Sale - I still have to go through the Broiler Room but have made lots of headway.
I have the new flyer made up and have to look at the wooden signs and get them ready and I want Jim to make me new sandwich boards but I am finding resistance. Harvest church had some really neat ones and I would like to copy them, I will see Noreen later today.
In Bible Study we are doing Ruth. You know the passages well, "where you go, I will go, where you lodge I will lodge, your people shall be my people, your God, my God".
Well I wrote in tones more but lost it so I have to start again.
All for today.
