A gift

 Imagine my surprise when a package was delivered to our door!  

The package was really cute...

Love this leather bookmark and a place to keep track of my books! 

Inside was a book Inspire 100 Devotions for coloring and creative journaling!  

Thank you Shug!  What a wonderful surprise!

Not much new here

Same old same old.  My stomach is still iffy...I am keeping a food diary. 

My diet is pretty boring.  Apples, Bananas, Rice, Gluten Free toast and baked chicken.  Oh yes Metamucil and Activia yogurt who could forget...gag a maggot. 

Sherbet made me go into a tailspin.  I checked the facility and they say wheat is present in the same facility..so could be cross contamination...who really knows for sure.  

I did some more sorting and organizing of wood for carving.   

What's Cooking:  Rice, chicken and pork chops.

Minnesota weather:  High 69F or 21C      Low 49F or 9C  We will have one more 80F day then we are headed into the 60's for highs the next week or so.

Organizing Woodcarving Supplies

 Far Guy was having a time with all his woodcarving supplies.  Things were spread out all over.  I asked him if I could help...he said "sure."

He has lots of carving gloves, sand paper and paint brushes!  Some of the "stuff" I had no idea what it did but I am really good at sorting like things.   After two afternoons he is mostly organized. 

It was a fun sort for me and I know he feels better knowing what he has...not sure if he can locate everything or not...but he only has a few place to look!

I have some bark left to sort and some small wood pieces that were cut for flowers.   When I have finished with that I will do some organizing and cleaning up of some of my "stuff" in the garage.

What's Cooking?  We made Gluten Free Apple Pancake it was yummy!  My stomach is still iffy.

 Minnesota weather: High 84F  or 29C   Low was 54F or 12C

We got a sprinkle of rain Tuesday morning...reported by Far Guy as he felt it on his head when he walked to the garage.

School

 Two of our Great Grandchildren started school last Tuesday.  The Minnesota School that they go to started before Labor Day.  I believe all School Boards could vote on starting before Labor Day since Labor Day fell so late in September this year.

Hey Mikey is in 4th grade and Cee Cee is in 1st grade

They are growing up way too fast!  I got a after school report that they both liked their teachers and they thought school lunch was great!  Hey Mikey switched schools from North Dakota to Minnesota and he was happy to find out that an old classmate had moved also.

We hope they have a wonderful school year.
