(Caylee, deciding that in order to get to the snacks, she was going to have to climb - Aw, crap!)
Today it was chilly, my air conditioning didn't come on even once! It's transition time, I'll probably have to turn the heater on tonight. I love the smell of the furnace the first time you turn it on - there is something comforting about that burning smell.
I bought all the wood for Jocey's doll house that I will be building her for Christmas. I remember when I was a little girl and my dad built a doll house for us for Christmas. At the time, I couldn't believe my parents were so cheap to not buy us an actual Barbie house. But now, I see the sentiment in it, and I hope my girls see the same in the one I am building. I am trying to put some nice touches on it - a slanted roof/attic, "doors", a chimney, maybe even some shutters? And then at the beginning of the year, I found a ton of doll furniture on Ebay that I bought for it. Who is more excited, Jocey or me? I don't know.
I found out my great Aunt Evelyn fell down some stairs and broke her hip. She is my Grandmother Cook's sister. She's 96. She has a serious bone infection and they will not be able to perform surgery on her. So they are trying to help her be comfortable. Her husband, Uncle Glen, died several years ago. She and her other sister, Elaine, live on a corner block in Logan, where the actual corner house used to belong to my Great-grandmother Mair. We lived in that house when I was 5. A lot of memories are stored up in that little corner of Cache Valley. Aunt Evelyn used to have raspberry bushes growing on the edge of her property that I would sneak over and have a taste of every so often. I hope she doesn't suffer too much and that she will be reunited with my uncle soon.
