Here are the girls before church this morning in their matching Hawaiian outfits (compliments of Grandma and Papa, of course).Yesterday Don Sr. came down from Merritt to help Don Jr. grade and tag his trees. This is basically determining if the tree is a "#1," which will fetch top dollar, or a "#2," which is only suitable for wholesale.
This morning they were up early, had breakfast, and then went back to do more of the same. Don found out that he has a lot more Noble fir trees than he originally thought. This is good because Nobles sell well and fetch a good price, but it also means he needs to put on his salesman hat and start flogging those puppies.
The kids and I went to church this morning. The service was great, and the girls both had a great time at their perspective kids program.
After lunch, Sean and I went out to our disgusting freezer/storage room and did some cleaning. Glenda had come over earlier in the week to take all of the 4-H stuff off my hands, so it really wasn't as big a job as it could have been. We threw away a lot of stuff, organized what was left, and then Don came in and swept. It's much improved!
Tonight we celebrated beautiful weather with bar-b-qued hamburgers and pasta salad al fresco. It's a beautiful evening still and the girls are back to their sandbox. Life is good.
Nathan has probably just finished dining with my mom, Lee, my dad, and Carmen at Original Joes in San Jose. That's the favorite restaurant of the San Jose Sharks, so of course we're all hoping he sees some of his favorite players there!
In 22 minutes, he's due at the hotel where the Coast Guard billets their recruits. Tomorrow a.m. very early, a bus will take him and dozens of other young people to be processed and then flown out to Pennsylvania. His adventure begins! I hope my parents (especially my mom) can handle the goodbye. Better her than me...at least she can have as much wine as she
