Wild Ride Saturday

 Do you ever feel like you are the wild mouse ride at Disney Land without actually being there?  Well I did yesterday.  This is how my Saturday went and tell me if you aren't exhausted after reading it.

Got up at 7:00.  Took the sheets off the bed including the mattress pad and started a load of wash.  Emptied the dishwasher, made a grocery list, cleaned all the bathrooms including scrubbing out the tub downstairs and upstairs and then out the door at 9:30 to make a run to Costco.  I bought strawberries to make strawberry jam.  Got half of what we needed there and then went straight out to Brock's football game at 10:45.  Watched his game and then left quickly and went to Macey's to get the rest of the groceries.  Just as an added comment here, no stores have any canning bottles or rings and lids!!!!  OMYGOSH!!  Everyone is canning this year.  Gee, let me think.  Could it be because of the earthquake and COVID?  Goodness.  We quickly got what we could at Macey's, ran home to put stuff in the fridge and then back out the door and back to Herriman to see Boston's football game that started at 1:15.  We watched his game and then on the way home stopped at three different stores hoping we might find jam jars and rings and lids.  NOTHING!  So we bought plastic containers that will work just as well, but I do prefer bottles.  As soon as I got home I started washing, destemming and mincing the strawberries.  I had Neal help me and we were finally finished about 8:30.  That included cleaning up the kitchen and starting the dishwasher.  In the mean time I was also doing the rest of the washing and drying.  I went up stairs and put the clean mattress pad and sheets on the bed and sat down to watch Little Women when the phone rang and it was Derek from China.  We talked to him for a couple hours and by 11:30 I was ready to crawl into bed and call it a day!  We did have a visit from Annie and the kids who had been up the canyons enjoying the changing of the leaves.  She said they were absolutely gorgeous.

This first picture is the back side of Brock.  Never did get a front few of him.  He played a good game and it was fun to watch him.

Maren and her dad.  Maren is hoping to go in for Lasik Surgery some time in the next couple weeks.

Boston from the back.  He is small in comparison but a tiger on the field.  He played both defense and offense.  It was fun to watch him and see how intense he is on the field.  His team won the game.  

Annie and the kids took these great fall pictures.  Can't believe we are already into the Fall of this year.
