Clean up

Hello everyone! It' been a very long time since i have blogged,or checked on friends.I hope everyone is well? The weather is all at once turning colder and there is more time for blogging,I hope.We just had our 50th anniversary and there was a lot of things to be done. The girls all wanted to help but are a two hour drive from here and they are also working so that doesn't leave much time for them to help.First i went shopping for a dress,and then a suit for my better half.I set up an apointment with a photographer, made sure the church was available, ask the ladies to do a dinner and flowers and so forth. We had our picture taken at 12;45 and then rushed to an open house from 2-3:30 last Sat. We went home for a while to put our feet up and were at the church at 5:30 for meet our dinner guests. We had some young people come with their parents from when i had the daycare to the open house . They are in college now and still remenising about the good old days when they were at our place, and the spaggetie they so much enjoyed. We had aparty after the dinner at home for a few special guests so it got to be a very late night.
I made subs for every one for lunch on Sat and Sunday morning we had pancakes and sausage,the little ones really enjoyed that.Sun. afternoon i made home made soup and sandwiches,and pies for dessert.I think every one was full.We had 21 around the table,so you can imagine the floors were just very sticky and plain durty.On Mon. we took tea and cake to a friend in a nursing home and she was just delighted.From there we went to a visitation of a friend who's mother died on the Frid.We went home and quickly had a bite to eat and went to another visitation of another friend of ours who's mother also died Frid. Both ladies were in their ninties one was 93 and the other 98.. After standing in line again i felt my legs getting tired again.I am finnally feeling a bit like myself again.It took it all out of me.I'm not sure how every one slept but the kids did bring sleeping bags and air matreses.
So as you can see i haven't just sat around twiddeling my thumbs,but have enjoyed it all very much.I hope you all have a blessed weekend and stay safe. Hugs Margaret
