Getting ready for Thanksgiving

We are all headed to Sunriver for Thanksgiving.  Bruce and I went over this weekend to shop and it snowed last night and most of the morning.  About 6 inches of snow it was very pretty.  I hope some of it stays around for next week so Bella and Addison get to play on the sled.

I have had an awful cold, I actually worked from home for a day and a half, I am pretty sure last time I missed work was when my appendics burst 4 or 5 years ago.  I hate not feeling like doing anything, but I am on the mend now,  only a plugged head and ears but definately much better.

I am excited to have all my kids and grandkids together for the weekend.

Then I really need to get serious about losing some weight, the doctor weighed me last week and it was out of control.

We have decited to invest in a transformer at the Isla house.  We figure it will pay for its self in the long run and will make bills  much more bearable when we retire there.

invitations have arrived

Kylei's invitations arrived today.  She was excited to come get them  Think I will try to convince her to make a spreadsheet of names and addresses instead of handwriting all of them.  We can print them out on labels if she does.

Been working with Donna to get estimaes to have some electrical work done at the house.  We wan tto install a transformer as it is suppose to save 75% off our electric bills.  Pretty expensive to do but a lifetime of savings.

The girls have colds and Ithink one of them gave it to me.  YUK. 

Have fammily plans to head to Sunriver for thanksgiving so Bruce and I are headed over Friday to do some shopping in advance.

Invites Dresses and Ida

This weekend a depending on when you looked Hurricane Ida or Tropical Storm Ida made her way past Isla. We spent time tracking the storm on the internet.


Kylei and I got started on things we need to get done for the wedding.  Kylei has picked out and we have ordered her invitations. We placed the order and are awaiting the proof.

I also found a nice mexican clothes shop that had wedding dresses.  Kylei  Bella and I went Sunday and she tried on 3 and we found one we really liked.  We can order made to her measurements but it takes 3 months, not a problem we have plenty of time.

I got to get busy this week and start working on flights.

Isla we have plans for you

Kylei has decided that she wants to get married on Isla next summer - July 24th to be exact, so we have some major plans to make.

Kylei has been picking out invitations and we have been in contact with Sabina to preform the ceremony. 

She wants to have Hortensia make her bridesmaids dresses in true isla style, and we have contacted Gladys to have her make the mens shirts and pants.

We have lots of things to get done but i think this will be a very special day for her so we best get busy.
