A good week...

I've been so BLESSED by friends and family taking such good care of me. They brought delicious meals, yummy desserts, and lots of prayers. I appreciate each one so much!!

I feel 99% better...have to keep some room for improvement (-; Truthfully, I'm glad to be on this side of the healing process. This week has gone smoothly and I've had plenty of REST. We've been blessed with ample work to support us, yet enough free time to get our outside tasks done. My Beloved seeded about 7 acres with wheat today. That will give our cows something to graze on this winter. He is really enjoying the work he can do with that new tractor.

School has gone well this week. Josh brought home a report card with an A on it...yea Josh!! Joe and I are back on track after our week off. The little girls were very blessed by Grandma T. She came to teach them Home Ec classes today. They learned all about food safety and then got to use all kinds of peelers, graters, choppers, and knives. Fun for these two and good experience!!

My beloved's got the hunting BUG. He read about bow hunting that just opened up an Antelope season...excited was not how you described him! He called friend after friend to share the 'news'. Of course these guys hunt too, so they were just as excited as he was. He would love to take a spur of the moment trip to the panhandle soon if he can get his things in order.

Excitement for Miss A this week is a 3rd BIRTHDAY...how can my baby be 3?? She's still so cute and TINY, although she's really growing. I had her almost totally potty trained. She could go for days with no accidents, but alas put mommy to bed for a few days and we have to start over. Unfortunately, she was not motivated this time. Every 30 minutes my timer went off and she had wet panties, but couldn't go in the potty. Tonight I solved that! A trip to the gas station got us a small bag of M and M's. Since we came home at 7:30 we've been potty 3 times (1 m and m per trip) and poopy 1 time (1 more m and m) and NO wet panties!! Not bad for a two hour time period. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Miss K's newest excitement is her PIANO LESSONS...thanks to Miss Hannah. She can't wait to learn songs and has been explaining how she will keep track of her practice in her assignment notebook.

Grandma Mary was blessed this week with 2(!) phone calls...her son from Georgia and granddaughter from Georgia both called to chat. She is looking forward to them coming to visit for Thanksgiving. She got to go out to lunch today with my dear momma and was blessed by a time at Odell's Restaurant. Grandma does her part to keep them in business which is good I guess...as they do their part to keep our service business going. This weekend Grandma gets to go to her younger son's house for a visit...she will enjoy that greatly!

Thursday we start Keepers of the Faith a Christian girls club for moms and daughters...another exciting thing going on. We have guests coming in the morning, the R. Smith family who will be bringing a precious new son for us to love on. We'll celebrated with Miss A at lunch/ dinner, then off to the meeting for us 'big girls'.

Life is Blessed, full to overflowing, but Blessed immensely!!
