Finished!!

I finally finished my chair project the night before Curly's mission farewell.

 What do you think?

Crazy how the light reflects off the shiny urethane. I promise the paint is all black. 

So Busy!!

Curly's mission farewell is on Sunday and we are rapidly preparing food and the house so we can entertain guests after he speaks at church.

I cooked the roaster full of sweet pork today and it is safely in the fridge until Sunday morning. 

My chairs project is going well. They are all finally painted and ready for urethane.

Hopefully, I can finish them tomorrow. I wanted this project over before people come.

I have also been picking and canning beans.

And doing a little sewing.

We even went to the temple this morning to do sealings. We are trying to get to the temple as many times as possible.

Life is busy.

Labor Day Weekend, last day

Monday was nice too. I worked some on the chairs I have been refinishing. I was hoping to get them done before Curly's farewell on Sunday.

Baby Doll's car, the old green Mazda Protégé finally died. Thankfully, our mechanic and long-time friend had another little car he was trying to sell. I was happy to give him what he asked for this cute Toyota. It's a 2006, so that's quite an improvement to the 1994 Mazda.

I also finished the quilt Curly and I made for his girlfriend. She absolutely loved it!

I made a new recipe, a Mississippi Pot roast. It was delicious! I also prepared this Tupperware for the Welby Elementary silent auction.

And of course, we played Monopoly...

It was the perfect Labor Day weekend.

Labor Day Weekend, part 2

Sunday was nice and rather quiet.  After church, we watched The Newsies.

I didn't have to cook because we had pulled out a bag of sweet pork from the freezer. That gave me plenty of time to play a rousing game of Monopoly with the kids.

I also finished binding the quilt with the blocks the kids made at the family campout. I think it turned out really cute. Dog Walker wanted you to show you the back as well.

Happy Sabbath!!
