Thanksgiving Weekend - fn

We had a wonderful weekend!

We had good food

And good times in the kitchen getting it ready.  Help from big and little.

We got work done, drywall upstairs

I had another picture to insert, but this is locking up now so I'll add that later.

Mom embroidering

Here is how Mom spends most of her day.  At least it keeps her out of trouble.

She has her own sitting room.

Complete with her own laptop.

She is enjoying playing the piano.

What is Sprouts?

Swimming

Mom is settling in.  Tomorrow she is going to the local Aqua Swim and taking a water aerobics class.  She will start out going twice a week.  She will go tomorrow then not again until next week because of Thanksgiving.

The bed was too high so we put the box springs right on the floor. 

We walked a little this morning.  We didn't make it to the corner but almost.  We did go to Sprouts this afternoon.  We have been working on her embroidery.  I've been doing the parts she doesn't want to do.

She has been playing the piano and enjoying that.  I think she has more to do here and it is definitely easier to go outside but we'll see how content she chooses to be.

I'll keep you up to date on what we do.  Maybe we will even have some pictures at some point.

Mom

Mom is here. 

Past weekend - fn

We went to Iowa for the weekend.  I didn't take any pictures.
We went to Dick & Josie's Friday night.  On Saturday, the guys got the wagon loaded.  D&J had already taken it apart so that made it easier.
Mid-morning, someone came tearing into the yard.  There was a tractor out in the field tilling Dick's ground and a neighbor had a grass fire that had gotten out of control, so the "big" tractor went tearing out of the yard to go plow around the fire.  Bob & Dick went to help, but didn't really need to do anything.
The thing is - when they got it under control - and I thought there was quite a wind - the farmer started it up again to keep burning the fence rows.

Bob & I went to Dale & Carol's for supper and a visit.  Their new family room is BEAUTIFUL!!!  It feels like I want my new house to feel (if it ever happens).
Roomy and comfortable.  It doesn't feel like an addition.  It feels like it has always been there.

Sunday morning we drove over to Mom's.  Visited for a bit and went to Pizza Ranch for dinner.  Got home about 8:00.  Then back to work Monday.

West Texas

We drove through West Texas helping La move.  I guess you can take the "girl" out of the farm but not the farm out of the "girl".  G was a great sport about stopping so I could pick up some cotton along the side of the road and take some pictures.


We are glad to be back home although it is pretty quiet here.
