The Pioneer Bluffs Newsletter was done a little after 3:00 this afternoon. I had three helpers. My cousin came from Wamego this morning and then two friends joined us this afternoon. It was fun to visit all morning with my cousin and then visit with her and my two friends this afternoon. I so appreciate their help. The day went by quickly and the work got done.
I took my cousin to the Grand for lunch today. It was nice to get out of the house for a short bit and enjoy the beautiful weather we had today. One friend was here when we came back from lunch. She let herself in and had started to work on the Newsletter. The other friend came shortly after lunch.
I had gotten one box done last night and got up this morning and got started a little after 6:30 and did a second box. I was ever so grateful for some extra hands to get the last two boxes done. It can feel a bit overwhelming in the middle of it but that feeling disappeared quickly when help showed up.
I haven’t gotten any housecleaning done yet but that is on my agenda yet for this evening or tomorrow. I think Kathy and company will be here mid afternoon tomorrow but am not sure. I still have plenty of time to get the house cleaned up a bit before they get here.
I am going to fix spaghetti and meat balls in the crock pot for dinner tomorrow night. That way it will be ready whenever we decide to eat. I got a spaghetti squash to bake as well as traditional spaghetti noodles. I have some salad stuff and bread so it will be a quick dinner to fix and serve.
The chicks are all doing well today. They are going through the sack of feed I got. I’ll have to go to town the end of next week and get another big bag of feed. It keeps me busy throughout the day keeping the two feed containers full and the water containers full.
I’m tired this evening. I didn’t sleep really well last night and I was up by 6:30. I was thinking about the Newsletter and wanting to get it done so I could have time to get my house clean. Grateful everything worked out so I can do that. I need to run to Emporia and pick up a few things I forgot at the grocery store and to pick up a prescription that is ready. Think I will do that tomorrow sometime. Not feeling like leaving the house this evening.
Today kinda reminds me of the barn raising days of the past. When friends show up in your time of need and lend a hand, the work gets done quickly and you have fun doing it. It would have been a long day without their help today.
Grateful for the help of my cousin and friends, grateful the newsletter is done, and grateful I have time to clean the house before my company arrives tomorrow.
