All in a day's work

I was home today.

It felt good.

I checked in with Mom and Dad and they were good.

I spent the morning at the grands' Grandparent's Day.

Aubrie's kindergarten

and Everett's preschool

had a puppet show

at the Chatauqua Building at the park.

Aubrie said it was at the

Chicago Building.

(She has a little Grandma Toots in her.)

They rode the buses there and 

me and the other grandma, Ruby

met them.

They were very excited.

I may have had a raisin stuck in my teeth.

Odd since I hate them and never eat them.

What in the world.

Help me.

Is that a filling?

Someone call a dentist.

Perhaps it is a fly.

Yeah, that is a better option?

sigh

Let's go with a flaw in the camera lens.

I came home and fed the men crockpot stew.

The girls stopped in to work on Ethel Edith stuff

and I got some baby love.

I got some Caroline time too.

I started meat in the pot for supper.

I had big plans to finish things

I wanted to do.

Put out pumpkins on the porches.

Pick through junk for some old keys 

I know I have had for years

for a necklace project.

Laundry,

workout,

bathe dogs,

yard stuff...

Stu asked me to watch a grain bin 

that was drying corn

and then transferring that corn

through a tube system

to another bin.

 

I had to listen for the loud stirring noise to stop.

Then, when it had, time it and check it again and again.

I checked the level by banging on the side of it

and listening for the sound of where it was inside.

Luckily, I have ears like a bat.

Large and hair-less?

No silly, highly sensitive.

It took  several cycles of this process.

After the level was at a designated spot, I shut it down.

The fans are ginormous and very loud.

It isn't a bit scary. 

I am trained.

I flip switches daily.

No "clap on" for me.

I got it shut down and reported back that 

everything was a-ok. and

I had shut the transfer part down.

Stuart called back

to have me check the fan to make sure

the heat was off.

Back out across the lot.

Yup, it is off.

I get busy

and he calls again.

Can you see what the gas level in the tank 

for the dryer is?

Back across the lot to check that.

He called again.

I told him

Hey, I didn't stay home today 

so I could be the Bin Bit**.

That  shut cracked him up.

He thinks I am funny.

Blinded by love, the man is.

Eventually I got everything 

I wanted to get done, all finished up.

All in all, a great day.
