MONDAY AFTERNOON

We are sitting in Dr Reynolds office in Baxter waiting to get shots in our left eyes.  Aren't we the lucky ones.
I went over to June and Linda'a for coffee this morning.  Sure paid off, they had a bag of corn candy and they wanted to be rid of it.  Hummmmmmmmm, it found a home with me and I mixed it with some peanuts.
I am working on my Christmas tree, I have 1000 lights on it and we will just let it sit that way for a few days.  I like getting it up around HOLLOWEEN.  Too soon you say, not I say. I could be dead tomorrow.
Had LEFSE for breakfast and brought some to June's also.
We stopped at Target today.  I wonder how they follow your purchases, big Brother is always watching you know.

MONDAY MORNING

I don't remember any group pictures taken this year.  My Alexis, River and Autumn couldn't make it this year so it was harder.  Alexis was going to come on Saturday but got sick.
Lefsa was fun, it was in Mac's new house, I should say remodeled.  It is lovely, this year it was Brother Mark, Sister Heidi, her three kids, Joey's girl Alley and Erin's husband Josh and 1 year old son, Jackson, and Skye and Jim.  Mac & Laura hosted and after we finished rolling out 32 1/2 dozen rounds I got to take Hope and Hudson for a walk to the park, it was such special time and we walked to Mission Hills park.  Maybe 6 blocks from their house.  We went out for pizza after.  Fun.
It was really a good weekend, stayed at Skye's because of the dogs.  I enjoy being there.  Had my hair done.  It is so wonderful seeing how much she has accomplished upstairs.

We Are Almost To Skye's

Ok here we are in Elk River, almost to Skye's, we had a good day yesterday, I did the meat raffle, we sold 6 games, I only got taken advantage of for $1.00 when a table of 6 came in. They either took an extra ticket or or shorted me $1.00.  I also had a liquor basket raffle.  $103.00 worth of booze for a $5 ticket.  I sold 48 tickets.  Good for the "Lion's".
Jim worked at the school, doing Trunk or Treat.  Something new this year.

LEFSE

I was going to spend time online today but it will have to wait till we get in the truck, big day, busy getting ready going to Skye's.  I still don't know how soon Ali can make it, she had the wrong weekend down, thanks to me.  Busy yesterday, I worked hard on making dinner for everyone on Sat and Friday night and gett the potatoes ready, finished up the spuds today.  I think we are doing 30# this year! kill me! we will be rolling forever.
Brining a ton down to Skye's.
Later!

My Mac!

I HAVE DONE IT THIS TIME!

I just can't believe I am that stupid.  We changed the LEFSE weekend but we never let Alexis know, she doesn't get group text.  In my not communicating with my kids often enough I screwed this up.  It's the second time in a year we get together as a family.  Totally my fault but it won't change her schedule.  It won't bring Alexis, River and Autumn to Mac's this weekend.  I feel like such a twit.  Heide wanted a different weekend and then changed back because Joey couldn't come.  We will just have to always go with the first weekend in November.  I will be broken hearted if they can't make it.

Yesterday was a free day.  I had to make three bank deposits for church, we made over &1000 from the craft fair and bake sale. We WELCA women have raised over $6000 for the church this year.  What an accomplishment.  What a lot of work.

After I went over to Linda and June's for coffee and Jim joined me.

I wuld like to learn how to put pictures from my phone to my blog.

I just was able to select one, it is Skye's dog, NICO BLUE.  But not successful in getting others.  Heck I can't even find others.

I don't know why I can't get I. To any current pictures.  What a pain technology is sometimes.  Especially at the hands of a twit!

I was so tickled.  I found my stylist pen.  It is so much easier to text and type with.  It was in the bottom of some bag.  

The kids are up and I need to get ready, will need to leave around 7:30 to get to Crosby by 9am.

BIG DAYI

Picked up Skee Green for church.  His wife Nancy is in the same Rehab center I was in.  She is on Coumadin and for some reason sprung a leak in her groin and lost the ability to walk.  It will come back after the blood collected dissipates.   It will take time.  Nancy is so active, at 80 she still golfs, and she played softball till she was 50.  She really is amazing, and I dearly love both she and Skee, Skee's health is rather fragile  these days, we almost lost him 2-3 years ago and he never made it back to his former strength.  He doesn't drive anymore but there are a lot of us around that do.
We had a big day, it was really fun, church, Jim went separate because Martha was stuck in the elevator and panicked and started pounding on the emergency switch.  Kill me, no one seems to want to be calm, they just panic and the pastor can't seem to retain the procedure to get out.  Love him to death but the small things just seem to leave him.
We are reading a book in book club he recommended "The Wolf at Twilight", a a res. book.  I was resistant at first because I only want to be entertained when I read, what a twit I am, do I never want to learn anything.   I need to see the "Paradigm" film again.  Guess who can be resistant to change.
Enjoying the book thought so far.  He is part American Indian and fascinated by it.   I would be to but how can you be fascinated by being 3/4 Norwegian and 1/4 Swed.  We just are!
We had our baskets downstairs and some of our crafts from the sale still downstairs along with bake goods.  I got the pies sold, you just guilt people into buying them and it works.  I can't wait till the bank opens and we have a final count of our money.
Gave Skee a ride home after Church, I also gave Raquel a ride but dropped her off early along with cookies for the afternoon concert.
We had the "Grand Rapids Male Chorus", at church in the afternoon.  They were awesome.  25 men blending their voices together in such a beautiful way.  I am going to have to look up their website.
I picked Skee up for that, helped Gwen and Betty out in the kitchen,  Teresa and Duane were here from Brainerd.  What a concert.  First time using our new round tables for entertaining.  We even sold some more crafts.
Got to call Heidi and see how her girls weekend went and Mark about our upcoming LEFSE weekend.  Talked to Mac this morning.
