too much to do & not enough time or energy...

 I'm still out at Mom's...keeping pretty busy, doing paperwork, catching her up on her Dr.appointments,etc.

   

I did manage to finish a knit baby sweater

for one of the grandbabies, and a crocheted

bandanna for the baby of one of my daughter's

 friends.  I hope that the bandanna fits. 

 I think it looks cute on one of Mom's dolls.

  :o)))))

My brother Terry and his girlfriend, Deb, came up for the weekend this last weekend.  The job for the weekend was to trim the big, old Elm tree in

 the backyard. 

 I am not sure exactly how old that tree is, but it

 is huge, and many of the limbs were heavy, and hanging over the house. 

Terry was a 'tree surgeon' for many years, so he knows what he is doing. 

I have never seen him in action before though.    It was pretty impressive to watch.

I helped a little, but not nearly as much 

as I feel I should have.  I had to leave halfway through to go pick up Frank from the hospital.

And for the last bit of this 'chatty' post... I made my first real Lemon Meringue Pie...from scratch...not instant pudding...lol...

I picked the lemons from Mom's Meyer Lemon tree, and squeezed the juice even...

It looked like a picture...in fact, Mom 

made me take  a picture...

and even more surprising, it actually tasted pretty good...but it was a lot of work.... LOL.  So I am not sure how often I will make it...

Have an awesome week!
