I was so tired after walking yesterday I didn't do ànything until after 2:30 pm. Wat a joke and then I worked like crazy.
I saw a beautiful fox this morning, close to the house too. I went in to church yesterday and worked on the basement storeroom, Jim helped me some because he had to be there for the elevator repair man. We are having a fall rummage sale and it will keep me busy getting ready for it and there is the Coats for Kids. I am hoping to visit some goodwill stores and do some shopping.
Well we have stop and go traffic on 35W. YUCK.

Well my how time flys
Today is Tuesday and I got home Sunday night around 6:30. We did have a good time at Bug days. It was good having Nancy with us and next year maybe Dot. Dot would have a blast. Good to see Lynn and Maryann, Lynn doesn't look so good but it a nasty disease that rheumatoid arthritis. Maryann talked a lot about what she will do after "Lynn Passes". Depressing but she must be looking forward to getting back to CA. She sure is talking about it. What to do with Lynn's ashes, his stuff, their place, her stuff, that she has a cousin in CA that said will take care of her, hell she is healthier than my kids and will live forever. I finally had to walk away.
Left Sunday about 9am. Stopped at Perkins but it took forever to get service. Stopped at the Dairy Queen in Winthrop, we all had Sunday's. Yummy yummy yummy, love for our tummy.
Jim and I went out Monday for shots in our eyes and he also had lazier surgery. Since it is over 2 hours away and our appointment is at 9:30 we left early. Poor Jim his eye drained all the way home.
I went over to June and Linda's for a visit.
We had a lovely visit
Went home had a great dinner and walked three miles this morning.
I am tired 12 miles last week and only 3 miles so far this week but 15 miles so far this month. I just signed up for runtastics.com.

BUG DAYS BEHIND US
Well we sure had a good time.
I stayed at Skye's on Thursday night, net Dot at Skye's Salon.
We went to dinner at El Loro's, very nice. I I love staying at Skye's, I am so comfortable there.
Left at 6am on Friday morning. BUG DAYS here we come, got to Nancy Deanne's by about 7:20, then we picked up Heidi. She took over the driving to Minneota and we were on our way by 7am.
We stopped for breakfast at a place we usually stop at. Cind'y Resteraunt in Belle Plain.
We got to Marshall around 11am and stopped at Uncle Don's for a Hello. So glad we did, he will be 90 next July. He must have been born in 1924, and Stanley was born in 1919. Don is the only sibling left. He looks very much like Stanley. So good to see him, two of his children died last year and he lost two of his son's long ago. He has two daughters left.
We took off for Minneota by noon, Nancy stopped in to the Lion County Independent to see her sister Karen. She writes articles for them. It was only 3-4 blocks from the Facility that Don lives in.
We got to Minneota and it was too fun to get to Mark's. His new pole building . His new jute box, did we dance or what. Nancy has far too much energy. Does that woman ever get tired. NO!
Heidi had a good time at her class reunion. Nancy and I even stopped in for a minute or 5. Was fun to be at a 40 year reunion. You can tell my class is getting old. I didn't run into even one class mate.

IT'S SEPTEMBER AND I LOVE FALL
I have a very very busy September but I feel like I say that every month.
We have our coat drive so I need to get my act together and start shopping for kid coats, our focus this year is K-6. We will probably start giving them away middle of October plus we are going to have a fall Rummage sale the first weekend in October.
Anyway lets get back to today. This is my third day of walking and I am up to 3 miles for the month.
I am determined to loose some weight and shift some inches. I feel like Porky Pig. It is amazing what an extra twenty pounds can do to make you feel big.
Yesterday I washed clothes all day and today we dropped off my car. The electrical seat won't budge. My legs aren't long enough to reach so I have to drive with pillows behind me. Not exactly a preferred mode of transportation.
I want to go out to the pole building and start going through stuff.
More later.

LABOR DAY
It was so good to have my girls and grand kids home. While I was camping our son John and his 3 kids and a friend came up for the weekend and from what I gathered Jim was kept busy fishing and they had the two boats out and fished like crazy. Always love having John and kids here, grandson Andrew was here for a week.
The girls were home with Autumn and River for two nights and it was fun, we even took the kayak out on Saturday.
Both Ali and Skye helped with a funeral luncheon on Saturday too. Our 3rd funeral in 2 weeks. That's busy.
I started walking, today was my second day and Susan and I did 3 miles out on Graves Lake. It is such a pretty walk.i need to loose 20# and the walking is part of it. It feels good to be going something.
September is going to be a busy month, gearing up for Coats for Kids. My WELCA checkbook has $500 in it from the Lions donation and I need to shop wisely to make it stretch. It's for K-6.
Plus we have a fall rummage sale the first Saturday in October.
I have Boxelder Bug Days coming up this weekend and I will be in Minneota plus I am doing a sleep study on Wednesday night. Everyone tells me I have sleep apnea, we will see. My classmate Nancy is going home with Heidi and I.
Hey I am getting my eyes done. Will let you know about that next week.
Have to run, want to talk to Linda about starting a Bible study.
Home again Home again Jiggity Jigg
Well I am trying to get caught up. To say there is a lot of cleanup after a camping trip is almost funny. You have to clean out the fridge, the bedding, the clothes, clean the carpet, the floors, the throw rugs. Need I say more.
Got home on Wednesday and on Thursday I worked Food Shelf, worked it 5 Thursdays this month, our church works it August, December and April. I won't be able to do April bur sure enjoyed helping out. There sure is a lot of need out there. It reminds you of how blessed we really are and makes you think of what else can we do.
I was even able to work at the Lion's meat raffle when Dede was here, I won meat, Dede won meat, we had a good time, that was on a Thursday . night. This Thursday we had quite the storm, wind blew like crazy and a tornado dropped down near Swatera just 7 miles from here. I have never seen it so black out. We even went over to our neighbors basement but most of the storm passed over.
