Moving Doors and Fleaology Chores

How cute is this little Bee that Reagan made.  So adorable. 

On Monday I worked all day on furniture for the sale we were expecting to do on Saturday.

Dad got the fire door into place ...

Here it is on the inside, still awaiting trim. 

I ran over and added stock to my booth in Pleasant Grove.

I do amazingly well there for all that my booth is actually a closet. 

That night Dad and I met up with the Heuers and Moes to see the Hello Girls, a new play at the Hale in Orem.  We all liked it and ...

I met this lady, thinking she looked familiar, only to find out that we have seen Barta Heiner in movies in the past.  In fact, when Dad posted on social media about meeting her, Todd Neilson, our former Bishop, recognized her as an actress in a 1970's Church Movie, called Blind Love. 

On Tuesday I did some junking, and in the midst of it got a call from Dad saying he'd locked himself out of the car in Provo. He'd gone to the bank that the chorus is using to find out who the signers were on the account and had left his keys on the seat.  I ran to the rescue, and he rewarded me with lunch before I headed back north to pick up some teapots, I had purchased on Facebook Marketplace.   On Tuesday I did some junking, and in the midst of it got a call from Dad saying he'd locked himself out of the car in Provo.

Here are all six of us in a row. 

On Wednesday I went to work and was able to adjust this booth after selling a dining room table. The locked case Dad fixed up for me is now sitting on a largish nightstand. 

On Wednesday he moved the old door, or should I say the antique door to the north side of the carriage house. 

which means we are ready for stucco.  Way to go Dad.

My friend Shirley came by to see me on Thursday, and it was fun to visit, as always. 

Dad took off after his temple shift that day and headed to Cheyenne, Wyoming for the Rocky Mountain District spring (Barbershop) Convention and a chance for some good coaching.

This is Mischief. 

Coaching time.

Mischief and 

more Mischief, they did a great job.

and more coaching too.  Dad drove over with another guy which made it a fun trip. 

And here is our Kai, young and full of life and still hiking the Application trail. 

I love these pictures of him on McAfee Nob.

This one has real perspective.

After work Thursday, because Dad was gone, I stopped at DI on the way home, and was rewarded with a view of my favorite kind of clouds ...

Aren't they beautiful?  We saw the same type for the first time the day Dad and I and the Moes and Heuers did our tour of the Saratoga Springs temple. 

Friday was about finishing up the furniture's repairs I'd been working on all week. This table had so much damage to the top that the painting of roses was nearly entirely obscured.  I was so thrilled with how it turned out. 

This little smoking stand also needed the top redone. 

Some nice oil based red paint did the trick for this bed tray and small table. 

And another side table that needed its top redone. 

Here it is in the van, all ready to go .... except there was nowhere to go, because while I was at work at the Grove Friday, Katie, my fleaology friend called to say she had decided to do a rain delay of a week.  Sigh.  I am glad she did, it took a lot of pressure off. 

This little blue table needed it's fun turned legs reglued, and I sat it upside down to dry in the parlor, with the caged fairy on top to make the legs go in as far as possible.  But then I loved how they looked together, so I tweaked my decor in there a bit.

Darby and Dallas, meanwhile, on Saturday were up on the middle Provo River doing some fly fishing when they saw this mother and child Moose. 

Darby was being cautious, but Dallas has some experience with wildlife, having grown up fishing in Idaho and Montana, and knows the drill. 

With fleaology cancelled, I took an easy day, I started with an antique sale at one of the dealer's homes who had planned to sell at fleaology and found lots of goodies.  Then I went shopping for some cruise clothes and went to dinner with a book-club friend, KD.  I then stayed up until after midnight reading.

Ths also happened Saturday. When Dad cleaned out the car for the trip, he brought in all the odds and ends that have been in the car for a while. I found this cute book in a fancy bag with patterned tissue paper.  When I saw it, my blood ran cold, as I didn't even remember who gave it to me.  I was berating myself, thinking who knows me so well that they would give me such a perfect gift ... then I saw the sales receipt in the bottom and realized I had bought it for myself at an upscale boutiquey place.   Hahaha ... yep, I am that old. 

I got to teach Primary on my own today.  The Lesson was on King Benjamin, so the kids got to color these 'service crowns', I cut them out and glued on jewels at home to make things go smoothly at Primary.  I love King Benjamin, I told the kids he was an upside-down kind of King, Not making others work for him, but working for them.  Not taking their money but doing his own work to support his family.  I said he kind of reminds me of our Heavenly King, aka Heavenly Father. 

Dad got home in the afternoon, which was nice. I had made falafel and we had falafel pitas for dinner while watching a movie with the two great dames of Britain. 

 

Well, That's Just Crazy.

On Monday we spent the day cleaning up for our luncheon on Tuesday.

I spent a good 4 hours cleaning the garden house. It was so full of old vines and dead leaves that it looked like a scene from Jumanji, definitely crazy.  Dad was in the house vacuuming and mopping, bless his cotton socks.

On Tuesday morning I got the table set for lunch.

Dad took this picture of us with our guests, the Jamsas, the Mottishaws and the Kervinens. 

and here we are after dinner.

Us out saying goodbye to our guests. 

That night we met up with the Heuers at Thanksgiving point to see Escape from Germany about the miracles surrounding the missionaries in Germany fleeing at the beginning of WWII

The next morning, I saw this crazy little polkadot 3 petal flower, in with my pansies.  It was gone the next day. How crazy is that?

At work on Wednesday, I noticed this picture of Alice in Wonderland ... she reminds me of Abbie, but Emily did not think so, kind of crazy though. 

When I got home from work, Dad showed me his project.  I've had the two table leaves for at least 20 years, and now they have a permanent home.  I took the table into the mall on Thursday.  I bought the machine at the DI in Centerville on our way up to the Willey House in Mendon a few weeks ago.  We will end up making 100's of dollars of the $15 purchase, between making the drawers into a set, and selling the machine itself separately.  So Crazy 

And speaking of crazy, this gal came into the mall that day and looks just like Kathie

I showed the pictures to Scott and he thought it was Kathy, even though Kathy has red hair. The Crazy thing is that she has the same mannerisms as Kathy too.  Definitely a double ganger, especially, since her hair style and clothing is also just what Kathy wears.

I added a few items to my patriotic booth that day. 

That night Dad and I went to Kylie Moe's wedding reception that was held at Nickle City in Orem, where they went on their first date.  How fun is that?  I am here with Robin and Kitty Bradford, the gal in the Moe and Heuer's Highland ward who tipped Barb off about seeing Wicked, when the Moes and we went to New York City back in, I think, 2003 or 4.  Thank you, Thank you Kitty! If it weren't for you, Wicked would not be my favorite play, and I wouldn't have Elfaba for a license plate.  Just crazy when you think of it. 

And speaking of Crazy, look at the expression on Robin's face ... and that fact that this is how Becca and Brady spent their 17th anniversary. 

and this is crazy cute squared!!

Here's the post Dad did for the Summer's anniversary on FB. 

They sure had fun meeting up with former clients, like Brandon and Kylie Ann Moe.  Here she shows off the critter she got using a skill crane. 

Here is Brittany, the Moe's cousin and her husband Daniel. 

Terry Quigg is having fun. 

Robin with the Quiggs.

Kylie Ann, is a pro, just like Ben used to be. 

She used the skill crane with my card and won me a critter. 

Evidently, she thought it was crazy too. 

I passed the critter along to Donelle, Brittany's mom, as only one of her grandsons had won one.   She is shown here with her and Barb's older brother Karl. 

Karl's wife Caroline with Kelsy and Donelle.

Dad with Robin, Becca and Brady...

snoozing ... and Emily wasn't even there to tell them too, which when you think about it is also pretty crazy. 

John, Kylie, me and Dad.  What a fun and crazy way to hold a wedding reception.  

Here's a picture of the bride and groom in more formal attire. 

On Friday Dad and I worked on projects.  Here he is working on the drawer set from the Singer sewing machine whose base formed the table he did on Wednesday. 

Didn't he do a fabulous job?  I did do a bit of sanding and then used Restorafinish to make it look even better.   I did some restoration work on two little tables, and mostly painted a bench for the fleaology that is coming up.

Then he took off to work on another coat of mud in Ashley's bathroom and he picked up some more paint for my projects too.  Thanks honey.  

That night we met up with the Summer to attend Reagan's end of the year dance concert.

It was really a lot of fun. 

Calipsoish crazy. 

She definitely has moves.

Reagan was having so much fun.

Her leg position here seems crazy impossible. 

Fun dancing.

Here are her cheer leaders, except Titan.

Afterward we headed to Cupbop, a first for us, but definitely not a last. 

Madi can't quite get enough on the chopsticks, and she is so inventive, she finds another way.

a Crazy way!

Here is Reagan with her besty who came along.

Here we are at the Orem Temple for the first time, on Saturday, as we came to celebrate Kylie and John's wedding. 

Barb and Randy's family with Donelle's family after the ceremony. 

Here I am with Robin showing of my crazy magnetized knife at the Wedding Breakfast at Brunch House in Provo at 4:30 ...  most wedding breakfasts are earlier in the afternoon, and have dinner foods, but in this case it was almost dinner time, and it really was a breakfast.  A very delicious kind of breakfast, now that's just happy crazy.  

Here we are with the Bride.

And the mother of the bride too. 

What a great week we had, and Scott got to speak in Stake Conference this morning.  The choir he missed out on sang, Come Thou Font of Every Blessing, I know he was sorry to miss that.
