Back To Normal?

Well, everyone has been gone for a while now, and it is actually quite sad..... I have to admit to shedding a few tears as you each left.  I am such a maudlin old lady.  ( as in weakly and effusively sentimental, not drunk enough to be silly..... :)  )  I'm sure it feels good for all of you to be back to "normal".  I am so proud of all of you and the lives you have made  for yourselves!  I'm glad you all work so hard at making your lives work.  I say that because I am well aware that it takes a lot of work and give and take and working together to accomplish what you each have.  I love my big wonderful family!

Tomorrow I am going to call someone about taking the large tree branch that fell on my deck down.  It is still connected to the tree trunk, and is rather high up.  A little too dangerous for someone who doesn't have the proper equipment I'm thinking.  It appears that it is the same branch that Josh and Tyler cut off.  Maybe it had already started to split, and that is why it was on the roof!?

Chatin has been causing a few problems in the neighborhood....  actually just more of the same, but people have been calling the authorities.....  lots of animals getting out of fenced in fields, etc.  His Mother came into Sacrament meeting today hunting for him.  She was in her tank top with all of her tattoos exposed, and she was more than a little upset.  Luckily, Donetta got up to talk to her and settled her down a bit.  They seem to think everyone has it in for them, and are quite defensive.  Quite sad, actually....  in reality, everyone has been extremely patient.

This weekend I went to Clarkston for a visit.  I haven't been there for awhile, so it was really fun to see all of the changes in the  Peterson house!  I interrupted Aleisa's major cleaning plans, but it was still fun to visit.  ( for me anyway! :)  )

Lots of changes going on at work.  Not sure what to expect tomorrow.

I hope everyone soon gets back into the habit of the weekly blog.....  miss hearing from all of you!

Also hope Kristie is healing well and feeling better every day!

Love to all!
