Happy Homemaker 2026-06-01

Goodmorning

Very busy weekend filled with guests and family.

Sis, bil and their granddaughter (18 months) arrived Friday night. Saturday dh was volunteer for parking for local race and in the morning me & sis started to look at things because pretty sure mom won't make it through the week, so we tried getting through the teary-eyed parts (songs and started to think of what to write for her). She wants me to go shopping with her when I go down there Wednesday (if mom makes it to wednesday) to get her some clothes for the funeral (she has lost lots of weight) and she loved red or pink. We need to go through some pictures and find the picture for the cards. Kids and grandkids arrived around 11:00. quickly made sandwiches for everyone so they could be down at town hall around 12:15 to get their numbers for the 12:45 race. All 4 grandkids were running the 1km. It was fun they raced in foam at one point and they got medals. THen we all walked back home and they played outside while everyone chatted. Lots of snacking in the afternoon. Supper was spaghetti and bday cake for dh (70! on Sunday). Got some nice pictures with the grandkids. In the evening 2 of dh's sisters, bils and 1 cousin + wife came by too. Went to bed around 10:00 (had gotten up really early dh had to be at the running site by 6:00 am)


Sunday kids and grandkids were here for breakfast (sis, bil, granddaughter, dd, dsil + 2 grandkids had sleptover). Sis left around 10:00, ds and family around 11:00 and dd & family after lunch (hamburgers on the gril). Grandkids had a great time playing together.

After they left I did some housechores.


Supper was at local restaurant with neighbors, sil, bil, bil's sister and his cousin.
