Busy Weekend and week ahead

I am so looking forward to 12 days of sleeping in if I want and getting caught up. But I will probably wake up at 5:30 AM as usual while the guys are gone. That is just how my brain is programed. They leave in 3 weeks for their annual Elk trip. Paige and Heidi spent the night with us Friday so everyone could go to a home football game. Heidi officially caught her first fish with some help from Papa. He would cast the line and then she stood beside him and slowly reeled the line in. She was able to hook 2 fish this way. It was so cute. Paige is a professional fisher girl. She casts her own line, catches her fish and reels them in. After fishing they ate , then played in my big garden tub filled with strawberry bubble bath. We then read stories and were fast asleep at 9:30. Amy picked them up about 9 Saturday as I had to leave. The County Conservation Club hosts an annual Landowner and Sportsman Appreciation dinner the 3rd Saturday of September every year. I am the club secretary and Jay and I along with about 6 other guys cook all day at the club house and then transport all the food to one of the Bob Evans shelter houses at the Bob Evans Farm where we serve around 130 to 150 people Saturday evening. We serve turkey breasts, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied sweet potatoes, baked beans, dressing, green beans, cranberry salad, fruit salad , rolls and a drink. It makes for a very long day. If there is any food left we usually divide it up among ourselves but this year we didn't. The youth group from our church was having a lock in and the shelter house is just across the highway from the church. So I took all the leftovers there for them to eat. No sleeping in Sunday morning as it was our Sunday to be greeters at church for first service. After church we went to a sporting store and picked up some broadheads for our bows,(bow season comes in this Saturday) stopped at the grocery store and then home. After lunch Jay went to hook up Rob and Leslies dryer and I went to WalMart to get a b-day gift for Kelsey. We managed to watch the last hour of the race and off to Bob's for Kelsey's b-day party. I can hardly believe that I now have a teenage grandchild. This morning I was off to meet Jay at the City building to sign a contract for a job we are doing for the city. Then I got a tire patched that I ran a nail in Saturday morning. I drove 2 days without a spare and that was stressful. Then I was off to leslie's. We broke down all the boxes she had emptied and loaded them in my truck along with their bags of garbage. Their trash pickup doesn't start until Thursday. I then delivered the broke down boxes to my sis-in-laws on the way home as they are expecting to move in the near future. I returned business calls after I got home and then mowed part of my 5 acres. I have a busy week ahead of me as our grand opening/dedication of our new church is this weekend and I am responsible for organizing the dinner afterwards so I have a lot of things to get lined up before Saturday. We plan to have a clean up day Saturday plus I am baking enough cinnamon rolls for several hundred people as a special treat at our breakfast bar for both services Sunday morning. Plus I plan to get in a few hours of bow hunting early Saturday morning. So please pray that I will have the needed extra energy this week to get it all done. Must finish an estimate on a job and get to bed. Love to all.
PS: Les forbid me to post any more pics of her house until everything is put away and neat so you will just have to wait.
