Labor Day

My time off is about over. I have been fairly productive. On Saturday I was able to finish up a quilt for Virginia, deliver an order of burpees, and start another project only to realize I didn't have any stabilizer. Which meant my 3rd trip to wallyworld was about to happen. On my first trip I bought some tumblers that were 2 for a $1.00. One of the places that sorority helps out needed tumblers. I got 10 to donate. Now later in the day on my third trip to wallyworld the tumblers are now 2 for $.50. Lucky for me the tumblers are still in the car waiting to be delivered. I returned those 10 (not without waiting in line) and bought 20 for the same price I originally paid and now I have doubled my donation. Yahoo! Ken thought I was crazy. "Just buy more if you want to give more," he said. No that is not the issue and that is why I handle the money I guess! We went to Cleo's to celebrate with family my father-in-law's birthday. What a spread! Thanks Cleo.
On Sunday Ken was up at the crack of dawn mowing the grass. I bet the neighbors loved the noise. It was so cool, I know it was easier for Ken. Then we went to church and enjoyed an especially good sermon on prayer. We went to wallyworld (again) for fruit. I am trying to eat healthier. Your good influence Janet. I worked on my school website most of the afternoon while Ken painted on the south side of the house. Then we met Austin and Holly for dinner. Italian=yummy! We had a wonderful visit with them and enjoyed the relaxed conversation.
We got up fairly early again today, which suits me. I don't like to burn daylight and waste the day sleeping. Ken went off to the remodel job and I took my fruit plate and juice out on the patio to eat. It was quite relaxing. Then I decided to tackle a job I've been putting off for quite sometime. Scanning some old family photos into the computer. I have been reading up on how to do this and how to make cataogs in Photoshop. Today I decided was a good day without distractions, so it was time. I had some issues getting the scanner recognized and how to divide them up when you scan 3 at a time, but I am successful! Yahoo! Ken came home for lunch and was surprised by all my efforts. Then I got a few pages done on the scrapbook for sorority. Cassie, Phillip, and Peyton came by on their way out of town. Thanks for the purple hat and the drink, Cassie and Phillip are always thinking of me. We had a quick visit and they got on the road so Peyton could sleep during the drive. Ken went back to work for a little bit and should be home soon. We are going to drive to OKC to pick out slate. Hmm! I think I better check their hours before we go in case they close early today.
I feel like I accomplished some things I wanted to get done, I talked to my sister and mom, went to dinner with Austin and Holly, and spent time with kids, grandkids, sister-in-law and my father-in-law at his birthday celebration. We have truly been blessed this weekend with family and fun!
