Cindy's 50th BD celebration - We had a nice evening - with lots of chocolate cake - Delicious - I saved 15 points for the event. (weightwatchers.com).
I decided to add these pictures for now & a slideshow
later.Mom and I took moon pictures on our way home from the party. It was so full and beautiful. Click on it for a better view.
Sep 14th- Nice day at Church - Great speakers. We had a nice dinner at home - every meal consists of things from the garden. Then we both had a snooze. I have got to take the time soon to get my pictures and slide shows on this blog organized a little better.
Today I am planning on preserving some of the greens from the garden.

Sep 13th - Well, I just returned from Josiah's Birthday Party. Julie made the best ice cream cake. Josiah was having a lot of fun with all his family and friends and gifts.
I didn't stay too long. I was a little worried about Ells as he was having a bad evening. I came home and finished the bulletin - barely enough ink to print it. I run out way too often.

Sep 13th - Today I spent all morning re-arranging our 72 hour kits. I made sure each of our two cars had both a 72 hour pack including 3 days worth of food and an emergency first aid kit.
I also made an emergency kit for Ellsworth's old wood truck just in case he needs it.
Then I decided I better start one for both my mother and the sister I have on my visiting teaching route.
Then Garth called and asked if he and the boys could come over to help us for a while while Julie cleaned the house. Of course, we were more than happy about that. He helped us with the 'Wisteria project' which was to trim it way, way down to a size that we could handle. I couldn't believe he got it all done. Ells took the truck and loaded it up with all the bramble and took it out to the burn pile. The boys loved riding back in it.
We also trimmed down the Star Magnolias and Ells took down the huge shrub in front of the Den windows. That was a big job for him.
Also, Arlin helped me get the hoses reconnected so I could water the garden. I have to use his water as ours will not support the sprinkler for some strange reason. It always did before. We have tried 3 or 4 different ones and different hoses to no avail.
We haven't had to water very much as the rain has been time just right so the garden would get soaked and we could go quite a while before it needed it again.
We canned a couple of boxes of peaches this past week (that is, what I didn't eat-they only have 1 point on weight watchers so I pigged out on them).

Sept 13th, 2008 - today is Cindy's birthday. Doesn't seem possible it has been 50 years since I brought that sweet little baby home from the hospital. She was two weeks late so I was pretty happy to finally deliver. She was busy all day so other than a phone call to tell her Happy Birthday at 6:45am, I haven't even seen her yet. Will see her tomorrow though.

I guess I have been tagged and I don't really know what to do but will make a stab at it.
3 joys: Our Family, The Gospel of Jesus Christ and Our Place,
3 fears: As I approach old age (a lot of people think I reached it long ago) I fear not completing my family history, not seeing my family enough, not being completely financially solvent before I pass on to the next world.
3 current obsessions: Our Garden, Finding Financial Assistance for our Students, Completing Christmas Gifts
3 surprising facts: I don't know if there are any surprises left. I will try to think of some.
I had a large blood clot in my leg for the past two months - almost gone now.
I like puzzles but not sudoku or however you spell it.
I joined weightwatchers online also.
Daniel, Rohn, and Grant Arthur; you are tagged by your mother:
Same things as above
