I'm thinking maybe my posts won't be as long if I try to write every week...
Harts came down on Tues-Wed to help work in the yard and put the quilt back on that had to be taken down clear back in May for the Gathering. We had a blast at the garden shop, nearly purchasing one of everything, then came home and weeded, transplanted and planted new stuff until it was so dark we couldn't see. We enjoyed an outdoor viewing of several episodes of I Love Lucy that night and Elise helped me get the quilt back on the next morning. We had a very fun time and I am extremely grateful for the help.
We had a fellow come give us an estimate for some repairs and flooring. I'm hoping it will work out as a trade for part of the fee for doing a birth for them. They are nice folks and we hope he does nice work. Things might look different around here next time you come!
I helped with a bridal shower for Emily Ashcroft (who still looks like she's about 14) that was planned for outside, but ended up being a garage shower for a short time while it rained and hailed. We fasted this week for JR Allred, who had a heart valve replaced, and for Rachel Francis, a 15 year old girl in our ward who had brain surgery. They are both recovering, thanks to the faith and prayers of family and ward members.
Dad broke another tooth and is getting another crown put in. The dentist said it's just a sign of getting older, not of poor hygiene (still no fun!). I attended a birth for a mom who wasn't expecting a baby in June. She arrived 12 days early, happy and healthy. This is the second birth this month that went so quickly that no other attendants had time to arrive!
Thomas and Victoria came for dinner yesterday and we watched "A More Perfect Union." Even though it is about the constitution, it still gets us in the mood for Independence Day and helps us reflect on our wonderful country and our gratitude for the liberties and blessings we enjoy.
Happy Fireworks! Have a great week....
