Looking out from my back porch... the garden cages, fences, and hoses are put away. Now, to get out there and take care of the dried up tomato plants. Need to clear a few items off of the front and back porch, too.
I am thinking about... Louis. He’s had such a hard time sleeping the past couple nights; I hope the next couple are better.
I am thankful for... good friends – this time, the Grant’s – who make a feast day festive!
I am reading... good grief, I haven’t touched a book that is deeper than my kids’ school texts for over a week.
I am hoping... for a productive week. Need to plug through a few items on that To-Do list.
I am hearing... absolutely nothing. It’s truly beautiful.
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)... well, thank goodness I’ve washed some laundry. Crafts – not so much – unless you count the tissue paper flowers the kids made on Monday.
From the school room... Dash has been working hard, Angelina and Zeke are doing well, too. Graham drags his feet some days, but Angelina has been so good about finding a way to bring learning into his day. She’s a natural.
From the kitchen... Holy Ghost cookies and Soul Cakes for our All Saints party yesterday. The dough used for the Soul Cakes was REALLY good – maybe add raisins, currants, or another dried fruit and I could eat a dozen.
State of the house... nothing has improved, but it hasn’t gotten worse, either!
A successful moment... we celebrated a feast day in style!
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: All Saints Celebration at the Grant home.
Tuesday: Please say a prayer for my hubby – he has his performance review today. Angelina has dance tonight. ELECTIONS! I voted by absentee – with five kids at home, you really never know if you’ll be able to get away.
Wednesday: Hopefully this is a day spent at home.
Thursday: Visiting relatives today.
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Deer Hunting Opening Weekend. Louis turns 1 year on Friday!
A picture memory...
These pics are from November 2008. The group I was involved with started a lefse fundraiser. We all got together and rolled/grilled between 275-345 rounds of lefse on one Saturday each November. Most of the packages were pre-sold. Very few were left for sale, which is a great way to do a fundraiser. It was a great amount of prep and work on the days preceding and the day of the grilling, but it covered the childcare cost for four childcare workers at two meetings per month. (The work was set up in shifts, so not everyone who helped is pictured below.) It was a great bonding experience, and multi-generational, as well. My mom usually came to help, and at least two other women brought their mothers, too.
How do I order some of that Lefse?!
