It was a busy day.

This morning was our ward clean up. I have never been to one before, and I don't know if I will ever go to another one again.
First of all... I had to get up at 7:30 (on my day off), that was not a good beginning. Well I slap on my yoga clothes because they are comfortable and easy to wash. Put my hair in a pony tail and a bandanna and off I go to bishop's house for assignments and donuts.
I was paired up with the RS president and we go to a sister's house who needs help cleaning off the back porch. We got there at there were about 10 other people there hauling... stuff.
I think leaves, but no. It was 3 or 4 beds that have been left out all winter long and were dripping with water. Very heavy. couches that had the stuffing torn out of them from the dog. bags upon bags upon bags of I don't know what but very heavy. Someone had a chain saw and took down several truck loads of branches. It was a lot of work. After we were done I was very thirsty, but no rest for the weary.
Next was on to another sister's house and de-grassed her raspberry plants. That took about 1 1/2 hrs. After that I went back to headquarters but all the jobs were assigned and the only thing left was the chipper but there were 15 people helping with that so I walked home had about 6 glasses of water, took a hot hot HOT shower and slept for about 2 hrs.
It was a hard day, but I think I will do it again next year.

It's been a long time.

I have had some really great passenger experiences lately.
Last week I was meeting a plane from Calgary, Alberta Canada. It's always fun to meet the Calgary flight or as we say in the airline biz...(YYC bird). Well there was a passenger on the flt that requested a wheelchair. Part of my job is to make sure that the wheelchair is there and someone to help passenger to their next destination. Most of the time I'm delegating to 16 year olds but sometimes I delegate to myself. This was one of those times.
Well the passenger was stopping their travel in SLC and traveling with her daughter and son-in-law. I get her situated in the chair and to escorte them inside. As we're walking I'm making small talk.
"What takes you to SLC?" A niece is getting married.
"Do you live in YYC proper or outside?" They were in YYC proper. But son-in-law immigrated to Pincher Creek from Britain.
"No kidding! My husband grew up in Pincher Creek. " What's the name... "Jensen" Well there are a lot of Jensens. "Boy do I know it. His parents now live in Lethbridge." What are his parents name? "Gary and Sharon." Gary Jensen??? the cattleman? "Yep. That's him." Everyone knows Gary Jensen the cattleman.
After that a little 16 year old came and took them the rest of the way.
I didn't know I was marrying into a famous family.
Today, a very nice lady said that I looked like one of her daughters friends and they call her Peaches because she is so bubbly.

This was the inside of Jay's car after he and Sarah got married. What wonderful memories. I think Jay is still finding silly string in his Bronco.
Good times.
