Almost as prolific as the "Lazy Blogger"

I just realized that I have not made a post in one week. I have been busy working with the family to de-clutter our home. We would like to sell it by fall and so one room after another has taken on a new perspective. The outside has been in need of help and this has also been part of our effort. The best thing about this effort is the grandkids are getting into it and wanting to help. My favorite story is my 4 year old granddaughter, Sydney, who wants to help Grampa weed! When she hears Grampa is outside weeding she quickly gets out of bed, puts on here clothes and skips breakfast for a few moments and comes outside. She gets her hat, her gloves, flower spade and bucket and comes help Grampa. The other day she worked very hard and pulled almost 30 large weeds. I was amazed at her desire to work in the garden. She was enjoying the effort and was asking Grampa which weeds were OK to pull. Her best question: Why are we pulling weeds if Heavenly Father created them? My answer did not suffice but as the trooper she is she kept on working with Grampa.

Another interesting event surrounded was my oldest Granddaughter, Hallie. We were all working hard sorting things for D.I., storage or ready for the landfill when her Mom and Dad asked her to do the Laundry for the first time. Hallie worked at the laundry all day, sorting into piles, filling the washer, adding soap, then moving the wash clothes to the dryer to be dried, and then folding and putting the clothes away. She was very diligent and would asked help for those things that she was unsure of. I was greatly impress and so were her parents, so much so we all declared a DQ night.
