Jannica's Wedding

The only regret I have of the wedding is that Mike was unable to attend with me. Caring for his parents was also important. So, while I was away, Mike did the following...

Watered our newly planted grass and kept it growing...

Spent 20 hours in the emergency room with his dad...

Plus lots of other things...

I'm glad to be back home with my wonderful husband. He's the best!

Free Lunch Friday

So, this ad was in the local paper, The Blue Mountain Panorama on Thursday.

Wells Fargo was inviting us to lunch today. I just happened to need to go to the bank and went over. LUNCH was delicious! Catered by a sister in our ward, they served Mexican food at its finest. As the only Mexican spot in town is Taco Time, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I came home and convinced Mike, mentioning words like "Free", "Your Favorite Price", and "Mexican Food" who was easily swayed, to drive over to the Bank and enjoy his own free lunch! (I of course went along for the ride and a little more chips and guacamole!)

Mike later commented, "You would never see a bank in Salt Lake offering free lunch to its clientel."

You didn't even need to bank at Wells Fargo for the lunch. Some vacationers from Indiana were driving through town and had stopped at the local hardware store across the street. The Hardware Store employees invited them to go on over to the bank for lunch. They two couples loved the friendliness of Blanding and the meal too and were even able to have the RV repaired because they met someone at lunch who helped them out.

I think I'm liking small town life!

To Everything There is a Season...

... and our season of projects is coming to an end. I think we've worked so hard that we are not motived. Here are some of the projects that will be left until next season.

Painting our bedroom closet doors and molding and touching up the blue paint around the molding.

Repairing the strip that came off the bathroom sink yesterday.

Nailing up the molding (I've already done it once!)

Paint touch up

Painting around all of the windows and molding.
These are the new windows installed in June.

Here's to NEXT SEASON!!!

The Stump, etc.

An old tree stump that needs removal.

VICTORY!

Today's Harvest - Sept 2, 2010

Our first corn on the cob

Cherry Tomatoes

Yellow Squash (We've had lots of this item!)

The poles are now history are as the weeds.

The results of Mike's work.

Doesn't it look great!

Now, we plant grass, which is my responsibility.

I have to keep it watered!

Another Jubilee Year experience... a pair of glasses for reading and driving.

Aghhh... the glories of age!
