Wonderful Day
I had this weekend off including Friday and today was lazy, yet productive. I made some homemade crab apple jelly from apples Devon picked at Lucy's, the 101 year old lady she stays with on the weekends. It jelled up nice this time and tastes good! She plans to bring her some tomorrow!
Hannah had a friend over for a couple of hours, Emily who lives just down the road, and they helped me make homemade carrot cake and cupcakes. Delicious!
Tonight we all watched the movie Abraham, and it was long, but very good and Andy actually enjoyed it too!
Dodie's Dad died this past Thurs. I have not called her and need to do that. She texted tonight to let us know about the calling hours and funeral. I'm hoping to make the calling hours on Tuesday.
Otherwise, this wonderful weather is holding out! It was a bit overcast today, but no rain...September is turning out to be the BEST month so far!

Indian Summer
So September has been wonderful weather wise! Gorgeous Labor Day weekend,,,even though I had to work all three days! It was a pretty good weekend all in all. Someone didn't show up for second shift, but it could have been because the schedule was screwed up too! I just hate it when people can't show up for work. It's always someone and it just makes for a lousy shift all the way around...and very unfair to the patients. I get so riled up about how the higher ups absolutely refuse to come in either. It's like they are above having to help out...they take a paycheck home every two weeks though,,,regardless. Someday...someday there will be a reckoning...
School is in full swing and all is going good so far. Devon is busy with her two part time jobs plus picking up babysitting jobs here and there. She has just English to pass this year and her Early Childhood class so shouldn't be any problems there.
We had a great supper tonight of ribs and potato salad and fresh cabbage and carrots from the garden! I'm in the mood now to bake and have been looking up several different apple recipes and want to try the crab apple jelly again too.
I'm off tomorrow so plan to do some house cleaning and cooking.
I'm in hopes that this weather holds out! It's wonderful...
oh...and we sold the sleds...money in the bank for a boat,,,maybe!
