Sunday Company!!

I can't believe that title! I actually had company on Sunday for lunch! I don't mind having company during the week, but Sunday's just seem too stressful and like you have to think ahead too far! But I managed quite fine, so might have to try it again.

We didn't have the traditional Sunday dinner. And the ones that came are the kind of friends you don't really have to clean for and if there happened to be a smear left in the toilet you don't have to be embarrassed (there wasn't tho, just so you know :) Anyhow, Kelly grilled burgers, Angie brought Costco potato salad, and the rest was Great Northern Beans, chips, watermelon, and mocha oreo ice cream dessert. Oh and Stacy even brought tea brew so didn't have to think of making tea (since all I drink these days is water, at least around here). No huge mishaps happened, other than we were just starting to pass the food, and I realised I had totally forgotten about condiments and toppings! But that was a quick fix!

We had a great time chatting and figuring out world problems above the roar of the A/C window unit, but it kept us reasonably cool so it was worth the noise. All in all I'd have to say it just wasn't too bad. So... I just might have to try it again! :) 

Happenings

I see it's already been a month since I last wrote!! Time just doesn't slow down! I'll just quick mention a few highlights from the last few weeks....

- Kelly and I went to Mexico for a week! It was beautiful, relaxing, and lots of fun! The weather couldn't have been better! We did go shopping one day, but mostly we sat on the beach with our books, enjoying the warm sunshine. I'd definitely do it again! :)

 

- Mom and Tiff came to visit! Tiff actually surprised Mom! :) A few of the things we did: shopping, sewing blankets, Tiff sewed me a dress, buying flowers and planting them, a couple painting projects, got them to try poutine and they even kind of liked it :) of course other eating, and just good times being together! Thanks for all the help!!

 

- Shawna Mininger came to East Gate and will be spending her days/nights off with us. I'm so excited! It's like having one of my sisters around! She's actually already been here for a weekend, but since it was cold and rainy we didn't do anything too exciting. But she did get to be with the youth, so now next time she'll already know them and can start having fun (hopefully)!

 

- We fixed up some low spots in our yard, then planted grass and put on lots of fertilizer. Now it's been nicely raining ever couple of days, so... you know what that means! I'll have a job mowing! (And it seems to take me longer this summer than last??? :)

 

 

And that is how our life has been... Today I finally finished up 2 blanket projects and got me a dress cut out. I was getting kind of tired of my other three! So hope to finish that tomorrow. Or rather today as it is after 12 already!

 

 

Wishing you all peaceful dreams!
