Keeping Busy

What a week! Elder and Sister Gardner left for the rest of their mission in Promontory,Utah. They will be ranch sitting for the summer. The cows are all hauled off to greener pastures during the summer so they will fix things up and make sure the ranch survives. We're going to miss them, they are great people.  Elder (Al) and Sister (Marilyn) Dustin have come to replace the Gardners. The Dustins will be here until October. They will be replacing us. We don't know if anyone will come to help them when we leave. We hope so because we will be in the beginning/ending of house #2. Hopefully we will be done with house #3 when we leave.

House #3 is moving right along. We've gutted it, torn off the stucco and demolished the garage. Sister Dustin is amazing she has been acting as Randall's secretary. She has been calling around to get bids for electrical for house #2 and #3, as well as someone to do the cement work for the basement of house #2 and the slab for the new garage of house #3. She has taken a load off of Randall. They are both amazing workers. They get out there with Randall at 8:00 and keep going all day long.

Garage to the house.

Garage demolished! Yes! Score one for our side!

Sister Dustin and I have just planted a small garden. How I wish my Son-in-law Jason was here. He's the best gardener in the world! As I was digging, I dug up a little toad. He was really cute and fat. I can't believe I didn't cut him in half with the shovel. If our garden does nothing else, it should feed our bunnies. We have two baby bunnies living under our front step! They are so cute. I hope they don't move out.

Our garden!

One of the baby bunnies under our porch. Is he not the cutest?

 I went to Dillon's market, or my Dilly Billys market (Dillon's has the most beautiful produce, Walmart's is absolutely disgusting), and they had artichokes for under a $2.00 dollars. I have a deal with myself, if I find artichokes for under $2.00 dollars I can buy them. OK, so they were $1.99 it still fits the deal. They were wonderful!

Are these beautiful or what!

Our branch in Guymon, has started a Book of Mormon 90 day challenge. You can read it, have it read to you, listen to it, anyway you want as long as it's finished in 90 days. So Randall and I are listening to it at lunch time. It's been fun because we can talk about it as it goes and it has helped me understand some parts of it better. We should be done by the first of August. The Wilkins will have a BBQ at the conclusion. The Wilkins are the best little family, really love them and their kids. I hope we will still be here. We are suppose to leave the first part of August, can't believe it.

Is anyone interested in this chandelier? It is an original from house #3.  I think I even have all the crystals to go with it. Let me know I can bring it home, other wise I'm stripping the crystals and D.I it. I've seen cute things done with these on Pinterest.

It needs some work, but it is all there, I think.

Love you, Miss you!

Happy Birthday Dilly, Allison and Price!

Good Day!
