The Return of the Slacker!

I'm so sorry I've neglected you. I'm not sure what the problem has been. I'll call it

un-motivated and overwhelmed. Eddie doesn't understand why I "need" 4 blogs, (with possibly a 5th on the way), nor why I have so many e-mail addresses.

I will be honest and let you know that I have been reading blogs, just not writing on any of mine. I'll be doing good if I get this one done tonight, so don't look at the rest. I'll try to get back in the swing of things.

The summer garden is about dead although a new tomato plant has appeared and we're curious to see what it does. When Eddie was out looking at the garden to see if anything was producing, he found this:

We actually grew a normal size pepper. To bad we didn't find it until it was dead! Eddie tried to harvest it and got the whole plant!!!!

I thought I could only grow peppers the size of walnuts! Who knew?! The zucchini is allover the place but we have pickle sized zuccini's. So I'm told...I've been staying out of the garden. It looks like the cherry tomato and yellow pear tomato plants are green as ever. The Roma and Beef Steak are done. I grew a Gladiola!!! It's so heavy it fell over. I didn't take a picture of it. I planted a lot of bulbs, but only one bloomed. I didn't plant them at the right time, but it was fun anyway. Maybe next year we'll have some bizarre flowers popping out where we didn't know they were.

Bill & Sheila got Bubba a Bubba Keg for his birthday. It was pretty humorful! Yes, I know, not a word. I've been using it for over 20 years, so why change now!!!

This is a picture of Eddie and I! Da Mudder is in the background.

It's from some time in the last month!

Yesterday we finally had our Ward Book of Mormon Carnival. We've only had to cancel and postpone it 3 times! We actually had over 44 people there!!! That was amazing!

I think it went over well. Someday I'll share what we did at it and post some pictures too.

Eddie and I have been at hotels for the last 3 nights. Betty and Duane and David, Ben ad DrewP were in town during Utah's Fall Break. We opt to go to a hotel so they can stay here with Da Mudder. The hotels were....um...interesting.

I'm seriously contemplating starting a new blog about all the hotels we've stayed at.

Too weird! I just need to keep this one up for a few days before I start a new one!

I'm tired. All that hoteling can really wear you out! HA!

Um...oh yes! If you'd all like to pray for our ward, it would be greatly apprecaited.

There are so many different reasons to pray for it, but at this particular time, A prayer for some great musical talent to move into it would be awesome. Especially, organ and piano talent.

Our ward organist and choir accompaniest is moving in 30 days. Very short escrow!

Okay here's the deal. Pray that for some reason he gets to play for Christmas and then pray that new talent moves in the ward. It looks like I'm in the crosshairs if my prayers aren't heard!

I got to play today. Not only the organ for Sacrament Meeting, but the choir also sang, so I got to accompany them on the piano. Fortunately it was only a hymn and one I'd heard before which always makes it better, because I don't like to count! The other hymns were fairly easy too. Did I ever mention, that I don't actually know how to play the organ. I first got the call to play the organ in West Valley 3rd Ward. The Bishop figured because I kinda played the piano, I could play the organ too. The hilarious thing is the organ in Utah didn't have a bass coupler stop. So, they got organ without the pedals and no bass coupler. At least here in Passons Ward the organ has a bass coupler, so it sounds a little better. Not so much jazz today. That's what I call it when I hit the clunkers! Jazz!!! I meant to do that!!!

Pray for me and I'll let you know what happens! Seriously! I really will blog before the week is over. Maybe not about pianos, organs, or prayers being answered....but I'll blog about something!!!!!
