Laboring on Labor Day


I'm exhausted after laboring quite hard on Labor Day. Our weekend went like this:
~Friday afternoon visit from Janet - toured the remodel.
~Friday night movie with Rick.
~Got a phone call from Courtney saying that she got a job in a school district as a speech therapist! Hooray! Congrats to Courtney.
~Saturday morning departure to attend Swiss Days in Midway with Janet, Sydney and DaeLynn. Wow, what an event. Who knew that is was so HUGE and attended by 1,000s of people? We made some good purchases and a had a good time. We heard some yodeling, and saw some lederhosen and other authentic Swiss costumes, houses and food. Sauerkraut was smelt in abundance. 95 degree day. So fun to be with the Idaho girls.
~Lunch at the Homestead in the air conditioning, away from the crowds.
~Homestead homemade fudge on the way home.
~Visited Rick's mom Pat who is recovering from knee replacement.
~Went grocery shopping for food for Vern who is staying alone. Made him dinner and visited.
~Watched bits and pieces of the BYU-Washington game on TV
~Enjoyed the Sunday routine. Attended the MTC testimony meeting. Grilled on the patio and enjoyed a garden dinner with Janet, Syd and Adam. Good visit.
~Enjoyed phone visits as usual with our kids and their families on Sunday night.
~Got going early on Monday. Walked for an hour with Patsy. Cleaned the windows of Diane and Steven T. ~Cleaned Patsy's windows and screens and she helped me clean ours.
~Rick, Andy and cousin R. hiked to the Y on the mountain.
~ We washed all four of our cars, cleaned inside and out when they got home.
~Cleaned the garage. Hoisted all of Dave's long term storage boxes up on top of the room in the garage.
~Started putting the tree bench together again.
~Got cleaned up and ate dinner with Pat at her rehab center. Attended the pre-dinner before the concert of KC and the Sunsh*ine Band at the Scera shell. OK concert. Not the best. Exotic dancers were a bit much for conservative Utah.
~Fell into bed exhausted.
All in all, a good weekend!

Too much work, not enough fun. It was good to get things done, though.
