Good Morning!

OK... I am awake now....
I may have company today so I need to dust off the sheets in my guest bedroom. Seriously! I haven't even opened the door to that room in a long time. The room will need a cleaning and some fresh bedding for two. She and her daughter.
This is the friend that is going to sew the elven cloak for me! She wants to see the movie so she can see them. She hasn't seen the movie, and will hate it, but wants to see the cloaks... Actually maybe she won't hate it, I sent her a picture of Aragorn (for purposes of cloak example) already that she liked very much!
Her daughter (10) is the city kid that I always encourage to go play in the woods, and we almost always get in a pony ride on Bay and some other ways of getting her hands and face good and dirty.
I am actually in this woman's will to raise her daughter if something happens to her and her husband (neither have close relatives). She said to me, "but don't tell Katie! - She has so much fun at your house she may plot our death!" LOL
How is everyone here this morning? Are folk around this weekend in the hobbit hole?
That says alot. It's touching, also. My kids are in my will to go to my twin brother (and vice versa), 'course they're pretty well grown now. When we were kids, my brothers and I were in Mom and Dad's will to go to their trusted friends (and vice versa), too.
We're lucky when we can have friends like that whom we can really count on.
I logged on about 10 ish this morning, but got busy doing all kinds of stuff. I had to pick up the teacher materials for my daughter's Confirmation class (I'm teaching a different group from hers), went and looked a some lots on which a builder is putting up some new homes (way to close to the Interstate!), got some newly picked apples for the pie, filled up Sir SuziQ's car, then came back home to finish washing and drying his clothes for his bidness trip. Just hanging out right now waiting for the Chinese leftovers to finish heating for a late lunch. I'm gonna make the pie later on and we'll have that for supper!
It is a dreary, cool,rainy day here, but I can't complain because I haven't had to water the new grass seed for a couple of days! It is supposed to stay chilly all next week. I guess Fall has truly arrived. The colors are turning faster on the trees now, and it is just lovely!
When I was little, we used to go out 'to the country' to visit my Daddy's sister and her family. We loved running through the woods, playing with her bird dog, Mike, and watching the cows in the field next door. After she died, one of my brothers rented her house from her sons. It had been many years since I had been to the house and I drove right past it because I didn't realize it was so CLOSE to where our house was! It was only a couple of miles out of town, but when I was young, it seemed like it took forever!
