Coming Up For Air.....

...my life really isn't so busy that I need to do that!

I had a lovely leisurely afternoon after Little Lambs this morning. Helina needed to go to a restaurant supply store to pick up some mugs for the kitchen and I got to go along for the ride. I really didn't have any work that I WANTED to do....there's always something that needs to be done...but anyway.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving chicken yesterday and lovely left overs for tonight. It was very odd cooking Thanksgiving dinner with the air conditioning on, as it was over 30 degrees AGAIN. It has been just toasty around here...with the leaves quickly turning brown and blowing away.... Even with that good dousing we got on Saturday. This morning it was a nice and cool at 17 degrees and it feels just delicious having a breeze coming in throught the open windows. I just love laying on the bed by the window, in my room reading a book...

Sunday was Sunday. Also nice and leisurely...One of my favourite things to do when I go to church to open for the evening is playing the piano while I wait for my church family to arrive. The accompanist usually comes earlier in the afternoon when there is no one there so I just warm up the bench for them. Someone in my church family gave me the coolest present yesterday!!! I got a giant tool box!!! One of those over 200 piece JOBMATE kits. I hope I never have as many mishaps as I have tools to repair them!!! At least I am equipped! That was a neat thing to receive with a card of appreciation . So cool....so I just HAD to go and make a thankyoucard!!! I got another card yesterday too which was really cool and so much fun, because it was based on the same card I gave that sweet lady and she made it in different colours but with similar papers. It was so cool, I think I will have to borrow that pallette!! Someone also made a lemon meringue pie for our family!

Tomorrow we have to vote. I will be at church for most of the day, on elevator duty. I have to set up the tables in the morning. Good thing I have some good books...I think I will need them. It's not like I can set up a table to make cards in the foyer! Well.....actually....I spent the whole weekend designing cards and making up the kits with the pieces ready to assemble. I COULD just sit there and assemble. Dontcha think? Woohoo, good thing I decided to update my blog!!!

Well..... I hope you all have a good week as you work away at your turkey leftovers. Or work them off, whichever... I don't anticipate much access to this area of the house as I don't desire to be in the workspace at the same time as Ray....it is not going pleasantly presently. Sooooo.....I just read in my room by the open window.

Time to go and make a plan to warm up the many little dishes all at the same time....I am sensing much foil in my future. Foil is your friend...just don't chew on it. That feels yucky!

Love ya!

Oh Tetcy. I just love you. I just love hearing your day-to-day happenings. And it seems you are loved by many... a Jobmate kit, cards, pie. Wow! Were they thanksgiving gifts because you work at the church? How super nice.
We too are working on left overs. I am stuffed. We had an wonderful afternoon with the clan on Sunday. Then Mom and Kathy came yesterday and I can't tell you when I enjoyed a meal so much. So tasty. Yum! (even if I do say so myself. lol)
Only 85 acres left then onto carrots. Going fast, eh? I had to cook tonight. Only the 4th time. We'll be done before I know it.
The weekend was great but it's back to everyday life with homework, farming, and being all alone. So I'll look forward to your next blog. Love, Karen

Hope the voting went your way. I have not heard much about it today.
I noticed that you didn't write today. Probably didn't have a computer did you?
I had a sad start to my day today. Sapho went down again sometime yesterday. Found her by the fence this morning. She couldn't get up. So we had to put her down.
Thought you should know.
love, randall
