Breakfast In Bed...& More

It was delightful to wake up this morning to breakfast in bed courtesy of Aaron, Tanner, Brinley, Jantzen, Anna, Elsie and Quinn.  It was not only delightful but delicious.  Thanks, guys! What a nice beginning to Mother's Day!

Friday we left our condo and headed north fully packed with another load of stuff.  We unloaded, put things away and dropped in bed exhausted.  Saturday we headed north to do some painting repairs on our Idaho house and visit with the M family for Mother's Day!

We arrived too late to purchase the necessary paint so we bought flowers at KMart and went to weed flower beds and plant flowers in the front of our house.  The grass and weeds in the beds were totally out of control.  It was really bad and we were so disappointed to see it like that.  It certainly didn't help the house show well for selling. For about 7 hrs with lots of hard work, and help from Heather and the grandkids, we hauled out buckets and buckets of grass and weeds.  When we finished planting the flowers, there was a significant improvement.  

We also managed to squeeze in an excellent gymnastics' performance by Anna and Elsie.  These photos are poor because the kids were moving and it's hard to focus on the zoom setting.

 We also loaded our fridge and the china cabinet from the storage room up there.  We are very tired of looking like the Beverly Hillbillies with our moving stuff.  We have about one more big load to haul.

 We attended church with their family.  The kids sang in Sacrament Meeting.  I love it when the kids sing, especially when some of them are my grandkids. All of the meetings were very nice.  I thoroughly enjoyed the 80+ year old Relief Society teacher.  She stood in front of the table with no notes and quoted amazing quotes and stories.  What a vessel of wisdom!

 Aaron prepared an superbly delicious roast beef, mashed potatoes and veggie dinner.  Thanks, Aaron.  It was really yummy.  Heather gave me a quick foot zone and we were off with our load to Utah.  Someday we will be finished moving STUFF!

 This is what Elsie ate for dinner.  The family ate an entire watermelon along with everything else.
I loved spending Mother's Day with kids and grandkids.  Thanks to those of you far away for your phone calls and messages. You are all the light of my life!!!
