Are we done yet........

This was the phrase asked a million times in the last 2 days. Lisa asked us on Thursday if we wanted apples. So, what did we say enthusiastically...."YES!!!!!". After 3 hours of picking apples I was already done. Then the real fun began. I will spare you the details, but basically 2 days later this is what we got. YEAH!!! Apple sauce and apple pie filling. Yummy!!! By the time Michelle, Lisa and I split everything we had done about 80 quarts of Pie filling. 60 quarts of applesauce and about 40 pints of applesauce. I think....somewhere around there. It was hard work, but it was fun to see what we accomplished. Trevor was amazed that we were making applesauce and he kept telling us that we needed more. He loves the stuff. He thought it was cool watching us make it.



Other not so fun events this weekend.... Grandpa gave us a scare on Friday night. He had a small heart attack. He is doing really well right now and was able to come home this morning. He looked way tired tonight so we all said our goodbyes so he could get to bed. The doctor said that surgery is not a possibility becuase of the location of the blockages, so they are treating it with medicine. I am very grateful that grandpa is doing alright. I really don't know what we would do without him right now. We love him way too much!!!!

My tupperware party went well....although the invitations did not show up until the day of the party....some even after. I was not happy!!! The lady sent them while on vacation and so it took longer to get to Idaho.

Car troubles again....when we woke up this morning the Durango would not start. For about a week it has been really struggling to start. Nate checked it out and found that it was not the starter. By the time he put that back in....it started working again. He presumes that the connection was bad and him putting it in right fixed it. I am glad it did not cost anything and yet again I am very greatly to have a mechanical genious!!!!

The yard is coming along. We have all the pipe laid and Nate has the two valve boxes set up. He ran the wire and now just has to "hook it up" and the system will work. The final step will be to put the heads on....so Nate will be very busy the rest of the week while I am gone. I think we will make it though.

Lastly....I leave for Convention on Tuesday and will not be back until next Sunday. It is extremly hard work, but I love going. So I will talk to you soon. Have a great week!
