Busy Week!

You know how you get to the end

of a week and think Whew! 

That was BUSY!

And then you look back and can't think

of what all you did all week that

made you so busy?

Hahaha

Yup.

That was my week.

But I DID accomplish a bunch of stuff.

I spent a couple of hours in the waiting

room at the local lab for a 4 minute

blood workup in preparation for next

week's checkup.

I spent LOTS of time on the phone

with my boss about teaching stuff.

Some of it was even productive.

I actually got a "new" job.

I am now officially the 

Town Building Dept Assistant Clerk.

I'll work at the town on Tues and Thurs

for 5 hours each.

We'll see how that goes...

I got a new project - the company randomly

picks 12 brand new people (draws their names

literally from a hat) and they win an all 

expenses POSH trip.

In the event the trip is cancelled, they 

get a $5,000 check.

One of the people this time was from Florida.

So my job was to take her from brand new

to licensed before October 11.

And then another phone call to say never mind.

Turns out she speaks NO english.

Hahaha.

Oops... sorry - can't help with that one.

We had a new young couple from our ward

stop by on Thursday evening to introduce

themselves and we showed them the farm.

He grew up in Alaska and she in Kansas.

They are really nice, with a cute little girl

and another on the way.

They offered to take care of the farm for

us when we go on vacation.

That will be nice, she was pre-vet before they

got married and moved, and he lived on a 300

acre farm in Alaska and is just finishing up

his time in the Army Reserves.

And I cooked, and cleaned, and did laundry,

and mowed the yard, 

and took care of the animals...

Just the normal stuff that keeps me busy.

And, of course, the guys are still working

on the trailer. No pictures because the stuff

they are doing isn't easily seen.

Wiring harnesses and hinges and the like.

The mangos must be close to ripe because

every squirrel in the county has been

hanging (literally) in the tree and

munching on them.

I just missed the squirrel... he was hanging upside

down having a lovely breakfast.

Nope, not ripe enough yet.

This one isn't either...

So last night Kyle and I harvested all of them.

You pick the high ones and I'll pick the low ones.

And I'll fill my bucket before you!

(hahahaha - did you SING along?)

So now they are spread all over the kitchen table

until they get ripe.

(The squirrels got more than half... we'll have to

pick them sooner next year...)

Kyle's flowers are doing really well!

So I leave you with some.
