Sunday was quiet, went to church and out to eat with friends.

Monday we went to our place in the country that we are selling and sorted through some of my parents old things. Picked out what we want to keep and what's going to the trash. There's not much of value left, and I'm not up for a garage sale right now, so we're just getting rid of much of it. At least this is one chore to check off the list. We need to sell the place. It's more than we have time to take care of. Land has to be maintained, or nature tries to take it all back, and we just don't have the time to maintain it. I could not believe what some of it looked like. Hadn't been back there in years. Huesache coming up everywhere. A huge grapevine had completely covered a windmill and cistern out in the back pasture. It was neat to walk under, but needs to be cleared away. The bittersweet sale of this property is one monkey off our backs.

Glad you had a good time Marilyn! Happy late birthday!!!!!

We went to a best friend's daughter's wedding on Saturday. It was very beautiful and they had a supper and a dance afterwards. We ended up dancing with the grandkids and had such a good time. Glen and I actually danced quite a bit (which he doesn't usually do). My feet hurt soooo bad by the time we left!! But it was worth it!!

I had a video of the story, Cinderella, that the bride, her brother, and her sister did with Dae Lynn and Amy when they were all little. I hadn't seen it for such a long time and it was hilarious to watch again! Then the bride danced with her Dad to the song, Cinderella, by Steven Curtis Chapman.

On Sunday we didn't do much except for church. Monday it rained so my husband took our granddaughter, Daya, to the pond by the house and caught several fish (including a 10 pounder--all catfish) so we had the kids come over and we had a fish fry, a few couldn't come. We were going to play cards or something but the guys were so worried about the rain that they left to move the equipment to higher ground. The fish was wonderful!!!

Usually we don't have "holidays". When it's time to work, you work. Our holidays fall when we're caught up on work! Being self-employed has it's ups and downs.

Sounds like a beautiful wedding. It also sounds like you had a good time with your husband and the grandkids. Sorry the weather interrupted. I owned a business at one time and it can be really scary at times.

We went to New Hampshire for the weekend. Had the neighbors over for a cook out. It was a very relaxing weekend.
