Tomorrow

Monday - Ben won't be here until Friday. So will eat by ourselves unless I can think of someone to invite over. 

We got the carpet cleaned and will move the furniture around. The boys said they would help me do that tomorrow. Then will have to clean so it will be nice. It needs cleaning anyway.

  I got rid of some costumes to a church that is doing Amal and the night visitors. We won't be able to go. It sounds great. It is a fundraiser for the EOU music program and they are doing it at a church.

  We watched Elmo and the Mo tab tonight. It was fun. It must have been great in person. Andrew even laughed.

Going to finish my murder mystery.

   Tuesday - Went to walk the dog, it was misting, between snow and rain.

Our friend Reta Dolan brought over some pepper jam, tomato jam and a relish. That was an excellent start to Monday. That was most excellent. She read our blog, figured out what would help and this small gesture made the day. 

  Andrew made 50 cents in tips cleaning a car today. He is a rich man. He gets Friday off so will get to spend time with the cousins.

   They are working on Bruce's ankles. They need to be strong to help him with standing. He also said they were staying in one position so they need to be stretched out.

Looks like Ben and family will be here Friday for the day. We have tickets for Annie at the Elgin opera house in the afternoon so that will be fun. Lindsy said they would cook for us. 

Duncan and Andrew moved the furniture around for me. It looks more open. wont have to buy new furniture now. Ha ha

Thanks you Chris for dinner. It was simple and very tasty. I want to get more of that pita bread. The boys even ate it. Sorry I am so weepy, must need more sleep.

Wednesday - Got my hair cut an inch shorter. Will get it colored next Tuesday, that will be fun. It's cheaper if you do cut and color at the same time. Live and learn...

   My sewing machine died, good thing I have a spare. It will take 2 - 3 weeks before he can look at it. It is the plug in, hope he can fix it. 

  Thursday - had a nice feast, turkey, gravy, (no lumps) smashed taters, olives, rolls from the Mennonites and two of their wonderful pies and a pumpkin cheesecake pie from the Nazarenes. I love fundraisers! Duncan made the taters, Andrew set the table.

Had a day off, except for helping Bruce every two hours. 

   Friday - the fam arrived. We played around at the house. The boys wanted to use bruces hand wheelchair. They have a section in the new scout book about handicapped awareness. Even the four year old, Hallie could move it. They figured out turning too. Lindsy and our oldest granddaughter, Bruce and I went to see Annie in Elgin. The rest of the fam stayed here and watched Inside Out. We returned at five and went to La Fiesta, they were closed, so we headed to Moys and the grandchildren said they wanted Mexican food. El Errdero was open and they are wheelchair accessible, they had a nice long table for us with a high chair for the baby. Bruce sat by our youngest grandchild and fed him chips. They were both happy. Ben paid for dinner. Another stuffed from sitting day. Sad to say the fam left after that. They will stay in Pendleton for the night and head to Corvallis on Saturday. We were bushed. A busy, happy holiday for us.
