This past week the Mr. came home with BIG fish tales from Flaming Gorge. He then went to our property South of Fruitland - both trips with his son and his wife Jennifer. I stayed home to work but had a great time doing what I wanted to do. Remember I am knitting a sweater and so I didn't have any interruptions when I was knitting. I also am reading a genealogy mystery book and was able to read with out interruptions. I was able to dead head some that flowers that have been able to hang on. I'm sure the killer frost will do a lot of them in before their time.
Today I worked some on my family genealogy, did some knitting, made some spaghetti sauce from the few remaining tomatoes we were able to rescue before the killer frost, made some fudge, hung out seasonal garden flags, made some dog cookies and had lunch with Jay & Walt. Whew, I am tired just thinking abt all that I accomplished today. Walt took turns holding down the couch and the bed. He is VERY sluggish when a low pressure storm approaches. I usually am too, but I was too busy doing all the things I did today.

Benched Colleen

Colleen wanted to have 3 benches on the new deck. She got 2 built before her trip to the kite festival. She built the last one yesterday. The dogs (KC, Louie & Molly) all followed her around during the contruction process and made sure it wasn't going to be in their trapline. Another thing she did was edge the lawn. I really don't like doing the edging. I don't mind picking up land mines and mowing, but edging isn't my thing. It sure looks nice when it's done though. Such a finished look. But what a bother. Have you ever gone 24 hrs with out talking to one of your siblings or your parents? I don't mean on the website or a blog, I mean on the phone? That was a question that one of my siblings asked abt C & I. Well, living together makes it kind of hard not too, but when she was on her vcation we did talk every day on the phone. I have another sister, Patty, whom I also chat with everyday or at least every other day. The other 2 sisters I get to at least once a week.
