                                  My day today...


Today we made squares for the wedding, well, not for the wedding really, for the shower which we will have on Sunday, the week before the wedding, just for the woman and the girls, we are hoping our nearest Lehrerleut colony ladies and girls will be able to come for this shower, guess we'll find out come Sunday,

I hope to post some pictures of the squares we made, there were quite a few! and do my feet hurt! :-) and to top it all of, someone pointed out I had scorched my back in the new (everyday) dress I was wearing. guess I made a face and grimaced and groaned and said a few choice words, (no, I didn't say anything I shouldn't have, but I was quite upset) where then Melissa smiled and said, "you know if this was in a Young Companion story, the girl would find the moral behind her scorched back" and I went: "Pray tell" (quite sarcastically I must say, because I knew she was dying to tell me) and she said: "well that she had too much pride in this new dress" I must say I stuck my tongue out at her...(shame, shame) and returned with: "guess I am not writing for Young Companion" But I did see what she meant, it is/was a favourite "new" dress, oh well, it's not that badly burned, not that I can't wear it anyways...I still have no idea how it happened tho.

The important thing is the squares are done, also made some slush, alcoholic and non. Missed the sampling, :-( not that I minded, I'll get some at the shower...

There is still my dress to be finished, for the wedding, hemming and snaps, I will get mom to do my snaps, she will, :-) but the hemming is a 5 minute job at the most, and I am a procrastinator of the worst kind! Tomorrow we are doing noodles for the wedding, and our garden lady said she wants to get those plants in the ground, onions, tomatoes, peppers...I think the danger of the frost  is past, but we did have rain the last week, so we couldn't get in, I think it's supposed to rain this weekend again, we have about a days work of seeding left to do also.

We plant and seed and water and hoe and do all our part, But God gives the blessings and the increase...
