May Flowers

After working my 12 hr. weekend, attending staff meetings, getting a low need on call, we tackled things around the house. First, Earl took up the carpet on the up stairs and hall, which has been there for 25+ yrs., and then we laid new carpet down. What a nice change. Then, I painted the hall a lighter green, and the trim, white. I like it so much more. Then, Earl knocked out the wall connecting the kitchen to the front closet, to make room for fitting the refrig. in the corner. We will make another wall to enclose a smaller front closet. Meanwhile, plaster dust is everywhere. No vacuuming will take it all up, so now I need to wash every surface down. I also painted the bottom cupboard doors, and hope to finish that this week.
I got to care for Sawyer on Thursday. He wasn't happy about mom going to work, but rode quietly to my house that morning. We visited my neighbor, Terri, for a short while, and he ate oreo cookies, and tea. Then, we came home, and he helped me make chocolate chip cookies, and of course, we had to sample them to be sure they were OK. and they were mmm-mmm good. I bagged up a bunch of them for Alaina, Jon, and family to take home. Then, we had waffles with strawberries for lunch.
Then, after working on the house all day, we met Lorrie @ Burger King, and hitched a ride with her to watch the Willmar's Grand March for the prom, and see Allison. The sun was out but the wind was a little cool. Allison didn't show up til way later in the march, but it was worth the wait.
We later found them, and got to speak with them for a few minutes among the chaos of prom goers, and parents, and friends. then, Earl and I went out to eat as we hadn't had any supper, and were starving. We met other prom gazers @ Culvers, and some friends from church.
Saturday, it was back to more demolition, then finally, breaking for crab cakes, cole slaw, and fries.
Sunday, we attended church, and first communion. I was the cantor, and we stayed after for cake and coffee. It was a beautiful warm day in the 60's. Earl had to work, and I put all my flowers outside to get used to the weather. Took a short walk with the dogs, napped, and rested. All in all, a great day!
