We are in the middle of perfect weather. Yesterday it was 75, sunny and not much wind, I would say perfect for this time of the year.
Much work was done in the wood shop last week. All the patching was done and so now we can work on the interior windows of the house and maybe get some work done priming and painting as the windows dry. I say work in the garage as we paint house windows because the sashes come out and I will take them into the garage and paint them there. Some time in early summer I think I said no home projects this summer and just play!!!!!
Terry has some more appt this week and so will take care of them towards the end of the week.
I missed a Malheim reunion in ND Saturday. Dave went and said he had a great time. There were about 50 people there. I am not sure I am spelling things correct but my Grandma Lee was a Malheim. She had brother's Henry, Bennie, Sig, Anfin and more?? It would have been fun to go but it just did not work out.
No this morning my french press is sitting on the downstairs table getting stronger and stronger as I write. I best not wait longer or it may be so strong it will make my toe nails curl and then what???
Grandma's brothers that you missed were Carl and Trond, Sisters Kristina and Amanda. Miss so much about Grandma and Grandpa Lee, one of the things Grandpa did was pick rocks in a wheel borrow, and ate too much lutefisk, when we wanted to open presents. I remember hunting four leaf clovers with Grandma, and had a black dog named whitie, so no one would steal her, she also cooked big kettles of mush for dog food. Halloween was always fun at Grandma's.
ReplyDeleteWe picked gooseberries in grandma's garden and used them as ammo in our sling shots. We spent time at the well and in the gravel pit. We took afternoon walks in the hills, it was all so much fun.

Boy, alot of memories have come out of the past few days! I guess the Malheim reunion triggered them. Grandpa Lee was my favorite. I can still hear him laugh, he did alot of that. Uncle Olaf used to eat mashed potatoes to delay opening presents all the while grinning knowing how anxious we were. Grandma also had a cat, she'd scare you to death by jumping at you out of nowhere. Grandma in her clunky black grandma shoes, housedress and apron. Never changed. I remember the gravel pit and shooting gophers in the pasture. I don't remember Halloween at G'ma Lee's but I do remember it at Mary Freeman's. We always got floats. I'm lovin' all these happy times, all kids should be able to grow up with those kinds of memories. Love Helen
