DINNER FOR THE ROOFERS

Cooked and cooked today.
Made a huge pot of soup with a left over roast.
EVERYTHING went in it.

We're also having BLT's for dinner.
Is that not a brilliant way to fix bacon?
(Thank you Pinterest!)
I also made Apple Bars from this site.
I threw in a handful of huckleberries.

My house feels and smells like FALL!

The roofing continues.

ALL of the decking on the entire roof had to be torn up.
It was rotted and in splinters.

We have a serious trash bin in the driveway.

I hope they can see light at the end of the tunnel.

WHAT DOES RE-ROOFING LOOK LIKE?

A mess.
That's what.

And a lot of work.

And sweat.

And money.

A roof isn't even fun.

At least if we're spending this kind of money
 it would be nice to have
new furniture
 or
carpet
 or
facelift
 or
something awesome like that.

We have had awesome neighbors hop up and swing a hammer or two.
Matt drove from Utah to spend the next few days helping.
Cameron came today from Pocatello.
Lynsey is here supervising everyone.

Howie took a week off from work to do this project.

Next time maybe we take time off from work for....
I don't know....

.....a vacation or something!

WHAT DOES 122 PINTS OF STRAWBERRY JAM LOOK LIKE?

A STICKY MESS!

That's what 122 pints of jam look like.

75 Pounds of Sugar
48 Boxes of Surejell
8 Hours in the Kitchen with my daughter.
Priceless!

SPEAKING OF BEING A NURSE....

And I look at my upcoming holiday schedule...

"I won't be home for Christmas"

But I'm thankful for a job.

SAY AHHHHHH!!!

Lexi came up to see me in the ER.
We looked in her ears
and in her throat.

Then she decided that fair is fair.

"Say ahhh mommy!

This picture raises a few questions in my mind?

 -Will Lexi become a nurse?
 -Do I stick my tongue out when I'm checking tonsils?
