Thursday p.m. out to dinner with Mom & Dad, Frans & Jenny. That was yummy! Gram & Gramp to Frans' for the night. Friday I worked and came home to a houseful ... always fun to visit. Saturday I worked & was probably comatose by the evening. Really can't remember. Sunday we went to Prescott for the day. Heini's daughter, Charisse, is engaged. We had a mini family day with engagement cake, bbq, pizza etc. Fun time.<BR/><BR/>Today Brock was sort of on target again with school. How does one learn things like adjective phrases, adverb phrases and appositive phrases??? I can't even do it! I did come up with an ingenious idea today. I can sit at the table and cross stitch while answering his questions every minute. If I keep this up, I may have Alyx's Christmas stocking nearly done by Christmas!<BR/><BR/>Scraped paint off the girls' floor today. That is getting close to done ... as my hands can attest to. I am either developing blisters or caluses. Amazing that it probably took me an afternoon to put that paint on the floor many years ago. I had tried to pay Brock to do it ... he gave up long ago. It takes HOURS ... DAYS ... WEEKS!!! Then some old fashioned brake or carb cleaner when it is all scraped off and we should be good. Note: if you use the nasty cleaner, fans have to be on, windows open ... all that good stuff. We are getting there!! And just in case I hadn't gotten in enough cleaning today, we went and did the church this evening.<BR/><BR/>Grass sprouted last Saturday morning and Isa got a picture of it before they left. Will try take one tomorrow. It is gungho now. If I wasn't so aged, I'd be so excited about attempting a cart wheel when it is ready for such things! I can probably get away with a picnic blanket (I have an awesome one Heather made me) and a good book ... with bonbons & coffee.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of bonbons ... someone needs to motivate me to do something active other than scraping floors. It is getting to the point of serious here!<BR/><BR/>You all have a wonderful day! I am going to finish scraping a floor, go to a food committee meeting, school Brock, get a red shirt for Alyx, go grocery shopping, pay the rest of the bills, spin some laundry, do some dishes, vacuum dog hair and dust off the floors ... and then ESCAPE to the lake with my hubby ... all by our lonesomes!! We have been trying to do that for 4 months now ... somehow life just keeps interfering.<BR/><BR/>-aKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.com
