Alright, Second Night!

Tonight is the second night Forrest has been with us! What fun just having him around. He said he's had fun time-a diplomat at such a young age! Maybe we're not too bad for a couple of old folks.

I went Visiting Teaching today. It was cloudy and I felt like the day. It was good to see everyone. We have 5 sisters and Pauline said we have a large route. Everyone is active and I enjoy visiting all.

Forrest helped Grampie vacuum and mop the floors (for money). He would have done it for free, but we don't want him to think we just wait for him to come over to be our slave...He,he!

The Primary president and her 1st counselor paid me a visit today since I am a new teacher in Primary. I have the 5-6 year olds. I have never taught in a classroom situation before. All my years in Primary were as the music director or pianist. This is a new job for me and the first Sun. was an eye-opener! I always preferred older children but I do love the little ones and maybe that's one of the reasons I'm there. I have one little boy that is hyper, hyper, hyper!!! But the good thing is that I only have 4 kids in the class. I wonder what I am to learn being the teacher?

Forrest and Sadie Day

Today Trudy and a luncheon to go to and the kids got to come over here. We went to Wal-Mart to get some groceries because young folk don't eat like old folk! I got Sadie a toy she likes and Forrest just wanted some candy. It was raining all the while we were in the store. In fact it rained all day. We got over 4" of rain. Perhaps we won't have a dry season again this summer. After Trudy came back she spent a little while here then she and Sadie left and Forrest is spending the night with us. He's a lot of fun and we love having him. He loves the computer and he and Grampie have been playing computer games and I know he loves to beat Grampie! Kids are so fast with their reflexes and minds and we are so slow!

Went to the cancer meeting tonight. There was a lady that had had reconstruction and talked about it. There were 5 other ladies there and I hope we allowed her enough time to talk about her problems.

Memorial Day

We had a very quiet day. I guess I was tired from Sun. because I went back to bed and slept until 12:15 PM. I felt good and was glad. Dad is having a series of bad days even on the "good" days.

The Wellness Ctr. was closed today. Tomorrow I need to go and do some exercise on the machines. About 5 minutes on any machine should do me in! Just remembered Trudy and the kids will be over tomorrow so the machines will have to wait for my un-used body!

Trudy is bringing Forrest over tomorrow. He wanted to spend the night with us. It'll be fun to have him. Hopefully, Grampie will feel well enough to play any games Forrest might want to play on the X Box. Maybe Forrest will bring some of his games over with him

I'm Too Tired To Do This Tonight

I tried to get another picture up but I must have been too tired to to it . Trudy and George and Forrest and Sadie came over for a belated mother's day dinner. It was good to see them. Forrest is taller than everyone except his dad and Sadie is developing into a beautiful young teen. I really too tired to finish this tonight so I'll go to bed now l Hasta Manyana(can't even spell that so good night!

Tried Again.

Tried

Success!

This Iris is gone but the picture is still here! It was I who made the mistake last night in trying to get a picture on the blog. I realized it today and followed the instructions and got a picture.

Had a nice card making party today. We made 4 cards. I sort of wimped out on the last card. I have to stand because the table is so high. If I sit, I can't judge whether I'm gluing the parts of the card on straight or not. After standing for 1 1/2 hrs. and not having a snack (I'll bring one next time...) I was not able to finish all the different steps of the card. I used one of the cut outs Mary had already done and was able to finish the card that way. I got home about 12:30 PM.

I broke one of my personal rules today. I drank a Pepsi in order to try and get a mood lift. If nothing happens then I'll repent. It's hard to wait out a low mood. That's like the nurse saying,"breathe deeply, Mrs. Layton," when I was in extreme pain when I woke up while having a colonoscopy! I'd have liked to have shown the nurse how to "breathe deeply" with a 2x4!
