October - Fall is here

Yes the month is nearing the middle and I didn't BLOG. 

We had a special Visitor from Utah...

Our FM Manager, Drew Corry.

We've been busy taking out flowers and blowing leaves.

I took a video of the DH blowing leaves into the street. This is a screen shot.

Now he shovels them and puts them into the dumpster.

I like using the battery operated blowers. 

We have harvested our Squash, Beets, Green Beans and Tomatoes

The Pumpkins on the side hill didn't get huge, but we at least got some that 

the deer and bunnies didn't eat the blossoms off.

I have gotten the Reproduction Quilt #2 off the Design Floor.

This is the last picture I took. Lots of partial seams.

We are in the process of Planting Tulips.

Elder Crowther keeps finding new places to make a flowerbed.

We've been on our knees, not just for Praying

The Plant Augers we got from AMAZON work great.

 

The Stihl Tiller is still his favorite tool.

General Conference was great and we still enjoy our short Sacrament Services on Sundays.

I love making the bread each week.

Virtual Tours are going, we have done a couple for friends and family.

you can click this link and sign up for either a Virtual Tour or to watch the

 Pre-recorded Tour with our Sister Missionaries that were here in the Spring.

June 2020

June already!

Time is flying by and we haven't gone anywhere.

So many places we wanted to go and see while we are in the Midwest.

Our Preparation days are boring, literally.

The Big Flower planting day, after the BIG Tulip Removal day happened midst the Pandemic.

Some wore masks, others kept social distance.

Here I am Digging Tulips and driving the Golf Cart.

It was an act of kindness to have all the help of the Seniors and Elders and Sisters.

Elder Crowther has a new favorite Tool.

Working the flowerbeds to get them ready for planting.

Being a Farmer has helped make things grow well here.

We even have planted a garden of Vegetables.

In the back yard and down the hill.

I took a bunch of pictures and posted them but had to ask for a picture with Sister Johnson.

She has taught me more about flowers than I ever 

knew I needed to know.

Red and Orange and Yellow and Purple really do go together...lol

Always something to keep us busy!

The New Desk is installed, waiting for the Quartz to be put on top.

The Young Sisters have arrived and the Trail Center is alive with giggles and a sweet spirit of youth.

We love each one!

 Me with the 8 Young Sisters.

 Sister Deets and Sister Johnson with the Sisters.

While we were having fun in old Town Omaha, the guys were

Painting the Shop and Garage.

  Can't take the farmer out of my Hubby!

Here he is with the "Tares" he gathered from our hillside.

Telling the parable of the Wheat and the Tares for our  Spiritual Thought in
Saturday Training Meeting.

I could share so much more, but I feel a Sunday Nap coming on...

5th Sunday in Nebraska

Elder Crowther asked me if I was still Blogging.

Well, I have been a little busy...

We are trying to get things all ready for the busy season at the 

Mormon Trail Center & Kanesville Tabernacle.

The History Department and our Boss are coming in March.

I want to make a quilt for the cradle in the Cabin.

I ordered some 1850's reproduction fabrics, they came in the mail this week.

I need to decide soon what pattern I will use.

Any suggestions from my Blogging friends???

We try to get out and see some of the sights too.

I wish we could have gotten pictures of the cool brick houses on 52rd street.

The Lincoln Monument in Council Bluffs was fairly easy to find.

Well need better directions to find the Black Angel.

 The Antique Shops are interesting, but I didn't buy anything!

When I saw all the PEZ, I thought of our Son by Love, Andy.

I spent Saturday evening laying out a few Blocks and stitching them for my Frolic Mystery.

4 More to add to the 11, Yea!

Happy Monday, tonight is Sister's Night at Sister Johnson's (upstairs)

Wednesday - WOW- From Nebraska

WOW it's been a while since I blogged.

We have been here in Nebraska 3 days now.

Nebraska Sunrise Sunday Morning!

I has snowed a bit, Freezing Rain is in the forecast.

Zoom in and you can see the Winter Quarters Temple.

This is from the Mormon Trails Center window.

We are oh, so close!!!

The Basement apartment is mostly set up.

It is feeling more homey every day.

They said to bring some things to decorate. 

My Mini from Janet O came along as well as my Wedding Quilt.

We are learning our Duties and soon it will be on us to do the Facilities Maintenance.

I love that we can walk where our Pioneers walked.

In one display case it tells about Patty Sessions.

She is my 3rd Great Grandma on my Moms side.

Her roll was to be the Midwife, she helped many bring new little ones into the World.

Some made it, some didn't...

She delivered the 1st baby in the Salt Lake Valley, if I remember right.

It's been awhile since I read her Journal Book.

It's almost my Birthday!

I was born just barely into the 15th of January.

(about 2 am)

My grand children who wrote letters to me already knew how old I'll be.

Ya, Rub it in, I earned every year.

63 and counting.

This was me on Monday after buying out the Grocery Store, lol

I only forgot a couple things.

I'm grateful for the prayers and storms that didn't keep us off the roads to get here.

We were happy to only have one stretch of bad roads.

We drove it in Daylight so it was a little better than in the dark.

Knowing when to stop and rest was Paul's doing.

He drove all the way.

My knees were up against the Glove Compartment.

Tight squeeze to get all the stuff I packed in Vacuum bags and our suit cases in.

The vacuum in the bags didn't last.

Some leaked air, or were torn in the process.

Maybe it was the cold.

Note to self: Get the thicker Vacuum bags.

 I have to get to sleep now, going to see the Kanesville Tabernacle Wednesday,

 so I'll say goodnight to my Blogging friends 

and those who will read this from Facebook when I link it.

Love and miss you all!

 HUGS!!
