Just a few pictures of the on going project. Of course these pictures don't really show how nice everything has turned out. Mike brought over the pine and it is ready to be put back on the walls and he said the trim is almost done. I am so excited to see what the finished project will look like. I pray that the spirit will still abide in the home.
The Bull
Today in Sunday School we were talking about writing in our journals. I have to admit that some days I don't get it done but I do try to write in it often. I find if I don't I will forget what has happened. I guess this is kind of like a journal.
I have had Kirk off and on this past week while Janet and Nicole have been in Washington. It has been fun but let me tell you when he gets his mind set on one thing it is hard to get him to think of anything else. I have taken to locking my pantry door when he is around. Today I thought I would make cookies so I needed to get in there to get the sugar. As soon as I got the door open he comes running over and pushes his way past me. Now picture in your mind a bull charging after its target that would be a good description of him and me the way of the target. He practically ran me over. I tried to pull him out. NO WAY! He is one strong BULL! I just had to laugh because it reminded me of days gone by. I got him out once trying to lock the door behind me but he did the twirl dance and he was right back in there and I on the other side of the door. He spied the crackers! He grabbed the box and turned his back to me. I proceeded to do the twirl dance and he was the one on the outside of the door. I quickly grabbed the box and threw it in there and closed the door! If anyone had witnessed this little dance they would have burst out laughing. I have to admit it is funny but it sure takes a lot of energy to get him out of places he shouldn't be in if he has a mind set to stay there. Oh the stories I can tell.

It's about time
Okay, all those who read my blog I guess I had better get on the ball and post something, anything! I realize that it has been a while but that is only because I hate getting on my computer and taking the time to write. I write in a journal most days so maybe I can rationalize a little here.
Last week I had the privilege of being the recipient of a service project. I feel so blessed and feel like a load has been lifted off of me. My back yard was covered with plaster, insulation and stuff from the remodel. Every time I looked out the window I would get this sick feeling and wondered how I was going to get it all cleaned up. Well bless my sister in laws heart she mentioned in bishops meeting that I needed it cleaned up. We had a big group of young men and young women over and they had it all on two dump trailers within an hour. It would have taken me all summer to do what they did in one evening. My words could never express my gratitude for this service. I am so grateful for the youth of today. They are awesome!
Shawnee and I had the opportunity to go to Salem Organ for my sister-law's funeral. It was a good trip despite the reason for it. Anna had been sick for a few years. Her kids and husband will miss her.
I am enjoying my house and am slowly getting things put away and I do mean slowly. I noticed that Mike brought back the pine and it is ready to put back up on the walls. It will be fun to see what it looks like with the wood back up.
