Happy Birthday Les!
It started out with a huge breakfast at Melissa's house! There was a couple of soccer games in the middle, with a roof touch up tossed in. (His idea not mine!) He was so happy to hear from Jen & Kids as they drove to SF to trick or treat. Matt called to give his dad a phone hug! Then after some time spent rearranging the church for Sunday it was off to the much awaited Dinner At Jack's!

my birthday!
I had a very nice birthday! Melissa took me for a pedicure and to lunch with Kim at Rivers! It was a day of calls from all of the out of town Kids and Grandkids! We went to a soccer scrimmage that Riley's team was in and then home to the nice warm fire with yummy Bartel's for dinner! Les would have taken me out but I was just too cold!

roof update...
It is still leaking...hope to get it fixed before the next rain...such a bummer.
Got the window of my Yukon fixed...permanently rolled up! It would be over $500 to make it work again...we can roll down the other 3 windows still!
I cut down the wisteria today. That was a big job and now there is a huge mess. Don't try to come in the side gate for a while!!!! I actually got it off of the phone line for as far as I could reach! If I could have moved the ladder to the sidewalk on the outside of the yard I might have gotten it off of most of our line!!!! Maybe another day! We have more light in the living room now and I am so happy! I took a few pics with my iphone...maybe will put them on the blog another day!!! I need to show you all of the work I have done in the yard!!!

What a week!
I am hoping not to repeat most of last week!!!
Monday was a pretty good day...Melissa & Collin came and helped me pick pomegranates,
Tuesday started at 5am with a leg cramp so bad that I scared at least 5 years off of Les' life!
went to the Dr to have it checked and be sure that it wasn't anything else! We had record amounts of rain and wind and got to brave the weather! Roof started leaking at the shopping center that we own....Wednesday still raining, leg better but still sore. Went for final day of training...did ok! Shopping Center still springing leaks, it is horrible...can't do any repair till stops raining. Les went up and unplugged drains hoping to make it better...Thursday it was still raining even though they said it wouldn't be (bummer) Went and helped my parents with walnuts, Collin was with me and he did great! We had fun! Sold 75 poms for 75cents each!!! that was good! Tenants still calling about leaks...hope to be able to do something about them on Friday. Friday is beautiful and sunny. Les has first fundraising dinner tonight in the park. Very thankful for sun. Went to Shopping Center and fix some tiles but not able to do all. Got to scrapbook with Kim for a few hours. Dinner was excellent. Great turn out. Les did a great job. SATURDAY...went to Riley's soccer game, afterward got on the roof (Me too, yikes!) started to do repair work. Finished replacing all tiles inside of businesses...went to Drew's soccer game. Got back on the roof and swept and trimmed tree and ivy from building until about 5:45 (Les did all of the patching of the roof) (PLEASE GOD, don't let it leak again!) Sunday...Church - Lunch with friends at Hometown Buffet - home to rake up all of branches in yard before next storm...
Okay, basically I just don't want to deal with or repeat all of the storm damage control. It was the worst part of the week! Everything else was not so bad! I am such a whiner!!!! But, at least I put something on my blog!!!! HA HA!!!!!

No pictures today!
Okay, so today was 4 hours of intense and fast training!!! I hope I remember everything next week when I have my 4 last hours of training!!! It felt okay but I had Linnea sitting next to me telling me what to do next!!! I have already apologized for all of the future messes I will make while "helping out"!!! I am tired in my brain!
