A pretty good day with some sunshine most of the time. For whatever reason I woke up too early and finally just got up about 5 a.m. I got several more days of the missing blog done. So by now - about 9 p.m. - I've been up steady a long time. I feel better today than I have for the last couple of days. I guess I can expect to have ups and downs.
This morning Debbie put the mulch I had for the new flowerbed into the barn to be stored until spring, since I never did get that flowerbed finished. It has been sitting out by the wagon for a couple of months. She pushed the ATV forward to the barn wall so Joe could get in to the hay he has stored in there.
I had a lot of phone calls today that I really enjoyed, Joan, Esther Marie, the Heninger's, Betty, Gloria, Pat, Charm called yesterday to tell me how the SCAG meeting went, and Sue. I'm going to get spoiled with all the attention. Phyllis called while I was in the shower but talked to Joe. She invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner (and is she a wonderful cook),but he told her Debbie and I wouldn't be here. We will be driving back from SCL that day. So Joe is going to go over and have dinner with them. That is very nice. Thanksgiving is his favorite dinner and he seemed a little disappointed that we wouldn't be having it on the right day. We got the turkey and all the trimmings, but won't cook it until maybe Saturday.
This afternoon Nancy, Melita and Lois came over for a visit. That was a nice thing too. We had coffee and lemon cookies. Melita brought me a birthday present from Tennirife (sp?) - a silky dark blue wrap (like a robe but not quite) with dragons embroidered on it. It folds up really small to pack for a trip.
We did some laundry and got out suitcases packed so we can just take off in the morning. The weather is looking better than it had. The Salt Lake channels had said a storm would be coming in on Monday, but it's looking like it won't get there until Monday night, and will be pretty good again by the time we come back on Thursday. I didn't want Debbie to have to get stressed driving down through a snow storm....being a desert rat. Curtis, Tayler and Beverly are driving to SLC from Vegas to stay with us. Debbie will get to be with her family for a while, and Beverly will stay with me. I'm looking forward to having a birthday dinner (mine) and Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I don't know how many years it has been since we've been able to do that.
Even though I'd been up a long time I took a walk about sunset with the dogs. We had a beauttiful sunrise and sunset today, lots of reds. Debbie made us an omelet with vegetables, toast and some sausage for dinner. It was pretty tasty. We've been watching some good programs on Discovery Channel. I'm about ready for bed tonight.
I'll try to blog every day we're gone if I can.
