Middle of the week for us!

Sloan and I are employed by the government at the

Idaho National Laboratory. Our days start at 5:00 and we pull in the drive way at 6:00.

Pretty long days but we work 4-10's and that mean Fridays off! Yahoo!

Todd and I are very blessed in that we get to drive together to work.

It wasn't always that way, and we sure enjoy our time together.

Tonight on the way home we stopped and picked up Miss Macarti, her momma had to run to town, and we are always pleased to bring her to our house.

When we got in the house the phone was ringing, it was my dad, their house pump had quit and it takes all hands and the cook to pull them back out so they can be repaired or replaced. So, as soon as I got the sandwiches made and the soup heated and supper down us, Casi Jean pulled in and we went down to help Grandpa Bill.

After we, as in "us girls," were given our job assignments, and as the crew was pulling
up the 120 feet of pipe with a submersible pump attached, Macarti was yelling from the deck,
"Papa, are ya done? Papa, are ya done?" She is such a good girl.

Finally as the pump showed its face and the guys went to work on it like a couple of surgeons, us girls were released of our duties.

Now, here it is 9:00 and the guys are still at it. Grandma Pattie brought Casi, Macarti and I home, cause we are just too young to stay up this late.

Even though we won't be able to get anything done on the house project tonight, it is always good to help my folks when they need us. They have done so much for Sloan, the girls and I, and we could never re-pay them.

Well, it is time for this Mimi to get to bed.

Till next time, God Bless!
