Sam ordered a lathe about 5 days ago and it finally got here. He doesn't know it yet as he is working. I went to bring it in the house as UPS only puts it on the steps. It's so heavy I can't lift it so it is going to get snowed on (actually I'll put a bag over it). The weather is beautiful today but is snowing, the weather yesterday was nasty but no snow. I guess we can't have it both ways. When we were talking the other night he was lamenting the fact that he wished he would have spent more time with my dad working on the lathe. You try to tell them when they are teenagers but they seem to know everything and are too busy for the things that really matter.
Finished the book Rescue last night, it was pretty good, not fantastic. Listed it on e-bay this morning. Next book to read is The Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer.
Tomorrow I am supposed to be paid, we'll see if that happens. They hold our checks until we have turned in all our equipment. I sent mine last Friday, they definitely should have it by now.
Yesterday I finished a sock and started the second one. Pictures will come later when they are both done.
I ordered The Tasha Tudor Cookbook, received it this week and made pancakes this morning. The kids loved them. There are many great recipes so it will be fun to experiment with them.

What do you do when you are sad/anxious/stressed
Apparently I bake. We had graduate recognition this morning in church and I kind of lost it. They had the kids come up individually and have a slide presentation with baby pictures through graduation. At this point I weep a little and soon my friend behind me is sniffling and then I start weeping more, my friend in front starts wiping her eyes and we are all soon a mess. After all the kids were done whoever wanted to go in front of the church and pray surrounding the kids went up and we all have a group hug and cry. The kids were probably thinking we were nuts but that's fine, they are supposed to think we have lost it a little. Don't get me wrong I am excited that he is moving on, it is how it is supposed to be, but with Sam it is the end of so many things since he is the last. Anyway it is obvious I need a nap as I'm still kind of weepy but instead made rhubarb cake, rhubarb blueberry muffins and beer bread. The beer bread is for supper tonight with chili.
Rhubarb cake:
Rhubarb/blueberry muffins:
Yes there are only 10 as I ate two when they were hot and steamy with a cold glass of milk. They are really good.
Bread is still in the oven so no pictures. The recipe for the bread I got from the comment section of Enjoying the Small Things (one of my favorite blogs). Smitten Kitchen is another really great cooking blog. She has a book coming out, so will have to pick that up.
We had cold rainy day yesterday and today is absolutely beautiful, sunny, warm, breezy. Finished planting the garden yesterday. In total we have 5 rows of radishes, 5 rows of peas, 5 rows of green beans, 5 rows of yellow beans, 6 tomato plants, sage, parsley, rosemary, 3 hills of zucchini, 2 hills of watermelon, and a ton of sunflowers. This morning I noticed the radishes are up, can't wait for radish sandwiches - yum. Now the great struggle begins as to who will win, me or the weeds. I'll let you know how it goes.

Another One Bites The Dust
Another goal has been achieved -- yah!! #9 is done, John's blanket. Pictures tomorrow, it is too dark tonight. I only had to finish sewing it together which is the part I really dislike the most.
Also started the Walk North Dakota program. Went to the Fitness Center today and exercised for an hour. As of this time, which I'm about done for the night and have 8941 steps. Will leave it on until bedtime so I can get over 9000 steps. To stay on track with the program with working out 5 days a week you need to do 10,000 steps per day. Maybe I will stretch it into 6 days, we'll see how the schedule works.
Sam had school off today. We had about 3-5 inches of snow but were under blizzard warnings. It was a beautiful day so they should have gone to school. Last Saturday he placed fourth in his wrestling tournament. The team took first place.
