A quiet sunday

This has been such a peaceful day. Not for Tyrel and Steve though. Tyrel went to pump water for the cows this morning that are out on the flat, and the pump wouldn't work. He came back to the house for a few minutes and then decided he had better try and push them down to the other well in the field so they could drink. They wouldn't have any of that, and wouldn't move for anything. Tyrel then came back to the house and Steve was back from his checking the pivots. They are now out pulling a pump from another well and are going to install it. Hopefully they will come back happy and smiling (any chance of that?) so we can resume the quiet sunday. We do still plan to grill later on in the day and so all may not be lost. The well driller man is supposed to come out today and do something more to the pivot pump that has been down since early June. He had not been there when Steve went out this morning. I guess if it's not one thing it is going to be another. I'm not sure if that seeding on the pivot is going to come back if we ever get water on it or not. Time will tell. Tuesday the man that measures for carpet is going to come out and measure, then we can order and it won't be long until we get some new carpeting. Lots to do in the meantime. Move furniture and decided what to do with tv cables, computer cables and everything else stuffed in this room. It's time to clean some stuff out. Bookcases, cubbies and all sorts of things. It should be fun to see what we have that we have forgotten.

Headed next weekend with Dad, to his sisters family reunion. It is a day long thing they invited us to. We are picking up Joan in Tooele and heading out.

Quilt finished

A good friends son is getting married soon. Terry and I thought he and the bride should have a new quilt. This is a picture of the finished project. It is queen sized. Terry and I chose the fabric. We sure hope they like the same colors as we do. The pattern was layer cake friendly and went together really fast. I hope I can get it to the wedding, I may steal it first for me and go into my quilt stash.

Playing with Friends

For the past 2 afternoons, I have been down the valley playing with friends. We have been building things out of old doors. One is to be a silent auction for the fair board at the Ranchers Ball at the fair this year. It turned out so cute. A few things left to finish, but Terry is going to handle that. A few coat hooks, and a mirror and it will be ready to go.

The one on the right, Val made for Holly as a potting bench. I am not quite sure yet what to do with my door, so it didn't get made. I think maybe the downstairs bathroom, with a mirror and shelves to hold towels and I don't know what else. It depends on what kind of junk I can salvage. Always looking for some good throw away stuff.

A Flower

This is the first picture I have been able to upload to the blog. I'm so thrilled, I finally figured it out, I think. This is one of the pretty iris' that grew this spring. There are some more flowers, and I hope to get pics of them too.

Fourth of July!!

What great fun we had on the Fourth of July. We went up camping to Brighams Canyon with the Jensens for the annual campout reunion. We missed Cassidy, Meghan and their family coming. Car trouble is the pitts. It is good to know they just camped out in their front yard since they were all loaded up and ready to go. I took my camera, but did not take one single picture. That's the way it always goes with me. I'm trying to get some pictures taken earlier in the month to upload, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm still a newbie at this blog thing.
