Not much today

 Alden went back to teach today and he will be teaching every day this week. This afternoon after the painter left we checked and it sure looks nice but I guess he will do another coat. The ceiling is white and the walls is a light gray which really blends in with the counter tops and bathroom tile. We are still eating left overs from the party.

This is the day

 After shower and medication on my knee I made my bed and had my breakfast. There was already people preparing for the baby shower. There was about 30 to 40 attending. It was set up very pretty. I was not able to take many pictures as my camera only lasts for about two hours or less. I can not put pictures on my computer that were sent to me by Gina or Alden. I guess my camera thing is going to die.

Getting ready for baby shower

Up at 7:00 am and apply medication to my knee, make bed while it dries. Made my way to the kitchen and Alden, Paige and Josh were at work. I had the usual breakfast.  Lunch was a burrito and grapes. Latter I had coffee as Alden usually has coffee for me so I waited for Gina to make it. Check my computer for emails and blogs. Not too much work in garage as they will come for this weekend as the back yard will be used for the baby shower. When Alden came he and I went to the back yard and I visited Socks and the two dogs while Alden was cleaning up things in the back yard later on Matt came to help. It is getting chilly out. I like it chilly but my knee and back don't like it.

Nice to have Alden here today

 Yes it is nice to have Alden here, he and Josh did a great job of cleaning the back yard. Nick had Alden show him where the outlets should be. Breakfast was the same thing as usual. I removed the glass from some pictures which I painted, I just wish I had finished them, they are oil paintings, but Alden said I should keep them. I did that at 7-Oaks where other people left oil paints. This afternoon I took a walk in the back yard and went to the big storage to see Socks. Alden fixed our evening meal with left overs. He is now trying to put things away in the big shed. When you think of so many people bringing their belongings to one address, it's amazing.

Clean up back yard

 This morning I had cold cereal and coffee for breakfast. The family got started on the big job to clean up the back yard. I took some pictures but I cannot down load them to my pictures, maybe I need a new camera. I got one picture on the computer then I get a message "something went wrong". Matt and Hailey brought pizza at 2:00 pm and every one was soo hungry after working so hard. They got most things in the two storage units. Most every one took a time in the Jacuzzi. Here is the one picture I could get on my computer.
