Sunday

That delicious day of the week that presents the quandary, does one stay in bed and indulge in sleep or does one get up and partake in all those tasks that cannot be dealt with during the work week. Oh my, the curse of first world problems. I try to partake in a happy balanced mix of both activities.

So much has been happening, so many good things. I have not been blogging and that needs to change.

Ok, I will fill you in on this last week because I cannot remember everything. Birthday Twin was here. She was in the province visiting family and came and spent an afternoon with me last Monday. I had the week off as Busy and the Carpenter were coming so it worked for us to get together. If she has not made this trip for her family we would not have managed a get together.

She liked her birthday/housewarming gift. We went for Chinese food, spend some time on my veranda visiting and knitting, We had birthday cake ( we share a birthday) and then it was time for her to get going back to her relatives.

It was not quite the get together that was originally planned but things worked out the way they did. It was very nice to see her even if it was a very short visit.

The Carpenter and Busy were next on the list. Birthday Twin was here on Monday and they arrived on Tuesday. My good brother came to shingle my kitchen roof for me. I was soooo pleased.

In no time at all shingles were raining down into the back yard. Neither of these two mess around 

once they get going.

While he was up on the roof, Busy got things done on the ground. She planted the rest of my flowers

She trimmed my lilacs, loaded tons of garbage into the truck to haul to the dump. She cooked the meals and did clean up afterwards. We weeded the hosta bed in the back. Just in case you were thinking I did absolutely nothing while they were here

The waist high weeds are gone and much to my joy some of the hostas are actually growing back. I thought that all of them had winter killed. I planted the two new one that I bought and then I put in the last five marigolds.  I still need to get more hostas but I will pick them up as they come on sale.

In no time at all the new shingles were on the roof and looking lovely I might add.

The eves were cleaned out. My new to me kitchen table was set up and the cabinet I am giving to KitKat got brought downstairs. So many things I cannot do myself or could do but it would take forever, were taken care of in not time at all. Not to mention all the waste got taken to the dump and is not still in my backyard.

I am so grateful to them. I am blessed with family that cares about me and friends that are good to me. I could not ask for better.

I will share pictures of my new to me table once I get the chairs recovered. I found the material but I need to wait for payday to get it. Busy and I made a trip to Fabricland and I found it then.

So today I will spend the rest of my time doing laundry and working on quilting a quilt for them. We cut the material out at Easter. She is making it for the new bedroom in the new house. She got the top and backing sewn up and I am going to quilt it for them. Its not often that I can do something for thos two so I am very pleased to be able to do this .

Well the laundry is calling my name
