Tonight Jim and I went to see Xmen... Not the best show I have seen but entertaining enough. I have had the thought however that I am so glad there is more to my life than gong to movies or following movie stars or keeping up with fads. I came home and read my scriptures tonight. I am reading Mosiah right now and the story of Abinadi. So grateful that Alma listened to Abinadi... that he didn't follow the crawd and that he was willing to run and then to teach. Truly an example of courage and faith. A far greater hero than any of the Xmen could ever be.
I doubt that I could ever truly express my deepest gratitude for the Book of Mormon... for the fact that I was raised in the church and taught the principles of the Gospel. What a good life I have had because I have a testimony. Not to say that I always live righteously "enough". I find that I often fall short or that I am just lazy but my intentions are generally good and I do love my Heavenly Father. I love the prophets who have all been such great examples to me in my growing up years... from President McKay to President Monson. Each has been such a great light in my life.
So I guess I go back to "who are the real heroes" Just men who live by the rules... who listen to the Lord. Who have faith and courage. So grateful for the examples they have all been to me.

Nursery...oh my
I've had a feeling for sometime that my next calling would be in the nursery... and tonight oh yes it came true. I think I might be in store for special blessings! I haven't worked in nursery for many years and I haven't wanted to! But I am glad to have a calling and perhaps by my being there every week I will be a source of help to these little ones! We shall see! I must say that it will be a chance for me to really serve! I will be one of those people they say... "oh yes there is a sweet old grandma in there that takes care of our little one!" Well better me than some young girl who has a house full of children and never gets to escape . I am sure it'll be GREAT!

Cheaper by the Dozen
I am watching Cheaper by the Dozen... one of my favorite books and movies too. I believe my Mom introduced me to it. A great movie... so funny! One of those movies that you can watch over and over again and enjoy it every time. My favorite is watching them all in their open aired (convertible car) fitting in somehow and driving all over town laughing and singing.
Got some sad news tonight from Jim... Clayton has been diagnosed with osteomylitis... a bone infection. I understand it is the same disease that Joseph Smith had when he had his operation. Clayton will have to be going in for tests this next week and then we'll see if he needs an operation. From what I read they go in a cut out the dead bone and then give anti-biotics over about 6 weeks or so. He is certainly in our prayers. And I am hoping it is a mild case... I guess we'll find out in the next few weeks.
As far as the shop goes... well it is coming along. The guys got the plumbing finished today!!! Now we just have to add a few more cooking items and shelves. Next week?///

Coke machine means progress
I think we are going to make this project! Today I came in to find that we had an operating coke machine with light lemonade! and two drains that work in the kitchen. We are waiting for a faucet for the triple sink but it should be here by Weds. and the guys should get the other faucet in tomorrow for the mop sink. Awesome!
Never thought a coke machine would mean so much to me! Oh, and we also have a security system installed... bravo! Plus: somebody bought 2 of the wreaths today - amazing!

A different Father's Day
Yesterday we had the "Cedar" family for dinner. It was hectic but it was fun. Grandpa received many favorite food items (including Hawaiian Sun samples from Jay and family). A cute "Home Depot" apron from John complete with Jim written on it and some Asian mix. Dave and Dani packed a box titled "Mr. Home Depot" with favorites like pretzels and mustard and a Mtn Dew (oh and also a can of Dap - "a little Dap will do ya" has been a current comment while working in the shop. Amy had a cute picture of herself and her Dad that she made on a board that said I love you. Very creative gifts that took some time and thought.and I am sure he appreciated it.
I guess all we "old" people really want at this stage of our lives is just to be remembered and occasionally thanked. Life is hard and having kids is a lot of work. We don't really need anything of material value (although it is often appreciated) but a phone call or a card (yes Laura and Jim and families both saw that cards were sent) is all we are hoping for. I reflect at the days when my Dad was alive and I just didn't take the time to write or call like I should have. I am sure that hurt him far more than I realized then. He was always so good to us and I know he did his best to see that we were taken care of. Many a time I would get something in the mail from him that would have some money in it that would come at a great time. It was a blessing beyond what I realized at the time. Not to say I didn't appreciate it, just that it was his way of expressing his love and that I don't think I appreciated as much as I should have. He was a great dad and I wish I could have just been more caring to him.
The odd thing today was that in John and Jay's ward (see John's blog) the High Council rep spoke on Divorce and said many insensitive tings about divorce. In today's world where families are surrounded by those going through divorce it ruffles some of my feathers to have someone over the pulpit be so insensitive toward those who have been victims. To think that all of the pain and struggle John has gone through this year to pick up the pieces after his divorce makes me want to lash out. Perhaps he was just trying to help those contemplating divorce but sadly there were probably many in his congregation who have been the ones left hanging and who struggle everyday being a single parent. In John's situation, I don't know what is the best answer when divorce is contemplated... I know that I came from parents who were both divorced and much better in their second marriages. They provided a good home for us... sadly I know that both of my brothers suffered from my mom's divorce but other factors can figure in there as well - her first husband was an alcoholic among other things...
So I am not getting on a boxtop about divorce but I do feel that it was sad that on a day celebrating fathers my son who is a great father and who struggles with his insecurities about how well he is doing, had to be blasted about a circumstance he had no control over... sorry John.
Well that is all for now. Speaking of John, I am going to pack up his kitchen as he will be moving around the corner next to Jay and Sara in the next couple of weeks. Not enough that we have this project at the LBH but both he and Jim and I have also moved in the interim...
One more thing: Happy Father's Day to my husband who is a great and loving man. I am glad we have been together these many years. He has provided me with a good and an adventurous life!

Dinner and a movie
Every week Jim and I go to dinner and a movie - sometimes we do it a couple of times. The last two weeks we have gone with John and Dani and Dave. Last week to celebrate having our first day open in the new building and this week to just go mostly to see Super 8. It was a well done movie and we had some good scares as well as some laughs. We usually eat at Wingers because they do the dinner and a movie deal. This Monday Jim is going to talk to Westgates theaters and see if our Little Brick House can do "dinner and a movie". It would be a good deal for us I think. We are looking forward to opening the restaurant soon. We are now working on the plumbing and after blowing a fuse with the icemaker being a little heavy on the power we got that fixed up. I guess I say "we" but should really say "the guys." Dad does the Home Depot runs and John and Dave work at the physical stuff. They are a great team.
Today was a good day because I had one lady come in to buy fudge (specifically) and one many come in to buy a basket for his wife's birthday. Like they came in to the store for a purpose that only we could fill and that is awesome! Sara's booth also did well today and sold a cape, a tutu, a couple of swords, and a want and head ribbon thing! I think her little booth will do well.
Hoping that things pick up. I sent out another email with a 20% sale coupon. That will run this week and I hope some folks come in for that. I am ready for the new part of this to start working. The shop is cute but we need some energy!
I am proud of myself also this summer because I have kept up with my Book of Mormon reading schedule. I think by tomorrow I will be through 2nd Nephi - awesome. Reading the scriptures helps me so much each day to feel a peace and calm I don' otherwise feel.
Tomorrow is Father's day... I am so uncreative but I did get a book for Jim and a couple of shirts. Hope he likes them okay. He'll probably hate me for inviting all the family over - oh well, We enjoyed a fun meal last night in St. George at the Texas Roadhouse thanks to Laura and her sweet card and gift card. It was fun to run down there and hit Costco and DI. I let Jim pick up the $120 or so tab for Costco and I put the $15 bill on my debit card...

To the Basement
Today we moved the basket making area back down to the basement in the new building. I was hoping to have a nice area upstairs but it was unrealistic. We need the space upstairs for selling and I can easily make baskets or florals in the basement. There is a lot of room to work so I really shouldn't complain. Perhaps it is the 500 lbs. of cherry chips stacked next to where I will work that bother me... what does one do with all of those chips... I don't even want to carry them upstairs and yet I think they need to go to the dumps - they have to be 5 or 6 years old . I have tasted some however and they don't taste bad. We might decide to make some cherry chip cookies with them. Maybe we could make some cherry chip fudge. Whatever we do, I don't think we'll ever get through all of those bags!
The basement also smells like the bakery or at least a bakery. I doubt that smell will ever go away. One day we need to clear out all of the old pans and other junk down there. I think we're going to put in a sink and work table for doing flowers. Perhaps it will end up to be a great hangout for all our little projects... Even if it is, I doubt I'll ever like being down in the basement.
That is kind of funny too because I used to have a basement club when I was about 6. We met in my aunt's basement where we were living. all of my parents stuff was stored down there and we would crawl in behind some boxes and play club. Later, at Susan Pollocks we had an attic club in her attic of course. That club had a bit more culture and we would produce plays. At the same time, we had a basement at our house and that basement club would buy and sell various items found in the basement.
So in my early years I guess I was preparing myself for being relegated back to the basement... like it or not. To bad this building doesn't have a real attic...

The Day of Rest
I don't know that I have ever looked forward to resting on the Sabbath day like I have this week. We have been going strong for 6 full days with little time at home and most of the time at the shop. The time at the shop has been busy with moving and building and all the other things that we had to do to get ready to open. I just kept thinking that I could take a nap on Sunday. I slept int til 9:30 am (because we don't have church until 11 am) and then when I came home this afternoon I took a short nap while I waited for a pie to cook in the oven. It seemed like I had barely dozed off when the timer went off but it was enough to give me a second wind and it felt good.
John came to dinner tonight and it was fun to have hm but I know he is missing his kids and would much rather be with them. It is a hard adjustment to go from constant direction from a group of children to having too much of your own time on your hands. I know... I am still adjusting - although I do enjoy being able to call my own shots after so many years of being directed by my children's wants and needs.
I just read Liana's blog about her sister. It was a darling tribute to her little sister who she loves and misses. I know that there is something about having a sister or sisters that is amazing. I have a bond with my sister that still exists although we haven't seen each other in years again. We can talk on the phone after months of not hearing from each other and it is like we just talked yesterday. I see that same bond with Laura and Amy. There is a kinship that is such a blessing.
the opening of the shop went well yesterday. We had about 60 or so people come through and they seemed excited about our new place. I wish I had a little more control over how people decorate but I guess they are renting the space. I might talk to Marie about how to handle that. I want to re-decorate three no actually four spaces badly but don't know how to broach it with them. We'll see what goes and if I get tougher.
Tomorrow is another day of getting ready but I think we'll lighten up a little bit. People can come through but we can work around that. We'll try to get our menu together (again). The guys want wraps and salads that are just the other sandwiches in a different style. Interesting!
Well, I think I am off to bed now. Life is good and I am grateful for the Sabbath. I read six chapters in the Book of Mormon and several articles in the Ensign. Grateful for words of the Prophets.

A light at the end of the tunnel
Tonight I think I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. It was after 10 when I left the shop but I felt encouraged that we just might get this thing finished and pulled together. Tomorrow we will have a Sneak Peek and hope that we will get some people to come in and check things out. We are offering some free food so we just might get a few friends and interested parties to show up. We hope so.
Anyway, I felt like things looked good today. I am just about done - at least with my moving in of my stuff, Kay Benson has a nice display of photography, Sara brought in her cute dress-ups, I got the jewelry in the case and it looks good, I like the way the tables are set up in different parts of the store so people can eat all over. Just thinking we need to pipe in some music and get some candle smells going. Jim got a lot done today with kitchen metal covers and the gondola for the back room. Also John got old doors and the door divider started. I'm feeling good. Now I am going to get to bed because we need to get up and make soup for however many tomorrow...

SNEAK PEEK
I had an idea to have a SNEAK PEAK for the Little Brick House on Saturday. Our usual soup/bread fare with fudge and cookies. Waters but perhaps they can be cold since we do have a huge fridge and freezer. Hope some people come in. It could be fun. I am please with the results and thinking that it is a big help to have our consignors and our vendors. I hope they will invite people to come in as well.
We got home tonight by 8 pm and that was so nice. We are hoping to get done in time tomorrow night to go to a movie. We have been working so many long hours it gets hard on the body but good results are coming from it. We bought (leased) signs today for the top of the building. It will cost quite a bit but should be worth it if people can see our shop and come in.
I am thinking how focused on the shop I am right now with little time for other interests. I have started a summer reading of the Book of Mormon program and right now I am up to date - already in 2nd Nephi and just been reading for a week. We will actually finish by mid August. I will pick up then on and finish where I was when the challenge started... finishing The Book of Mormon twice this summer... cool.
I am trying to also read Dorian Gray which I read in High School I think. It is by Oscar Wilde so written in the late 1900s and a bit odd. I loved it the first time I read it... this time not so much. Perhaps I'll get more into it as I get deeper into the story. Having recently read the Importance of Being Ernest... I do see similarities in the writing but where the play is quite comical, the book is not...
Well bed is sounding good about now. It's 10:15 and I'm aching all over. One last thing I want to say however... I have noticed already that people are seeing things in the shop they didn't see before. I have had two people comment on the big table I bought from Diane Delport and no one ever saw it in the other shop. Funny. I think this may be a very good thing.

Every inch of me hurts
I am amazed that we have made it for yet another day. The shop is not done but we keep plugging along and one day I know that we will be finished and people will come and love the store. It is turning out great but there is so much to do. I am having trouble fitting it all in. I was disappointed tonight when I got my order from Victoria something or other that it wasn't up to the quality I was hoping for. I keep doing that and hoping that the bargains will be better than they are. I did get some cute aprons... I doubt that they will last too long but we'll make them work for awhile.
We had people come in today who make jewelry from flat-ware. It is what Jim has been looking for. They are going to get a display case and will be coming back soon. That was exciting. Kay Bensons pictures are exciting. The Hamptons furniture is wonderful. Joan brought in some great furniture to display her pottery. I am really please with it. John did a great job at the two black cases and I filled one with baskets. It looks great - like people can see what we sell easily. The tables in the back rooms look like they will work great... things are looking good.
I am exhausted and headed for bed. Need to get the menu put together again. Hope we get things pretty much complete tomorrow - hope to open Saturday for the shop at least.

Yeah... I'm in!
Over the last number of days I have been trying to post and haven't been able too. My limited computer abilities were not at work but I just got in! I am so excited. I doubt that I have anything to say but at least I have the ability to say it.
Well I guess I could say how exhausted I am. We are now a full week late in opening the store and we are not ready yet... but we are getting there! The plumber didn't show up today. He was the one who showed up last time when the first one didn't show up. Now since he didn't show up Jim called Bruce Thompson and guess what... he didn't show up either. Maybe tomorrow. That is how it goes with services in Southern Utah - they suck.
For the most part the new LBH is coming along. We only have about 3 or 4 big pieces of furniture to move over now. I should get most of my stuff done tomorrow. Only one disappointment with our renters so far. This one lady rented a room but really only needed a wall and so her stuff is spread out all over and looks lousy. Dave and John are very irritated. Jim wants me to tell her that we need to get her stuff off the floor - which we do.
I don't seem to have half the space I want. I took over one room that was for renting and I have filled it up. Most of the stuff in that room however is junk but I am going to work at replacing it with fun stuff. Several of our renters have not shown up to put up their stuff. We were going to open tomorrow but with that being the case and the fact that we are still behind, I don't feel too badly that we might have held them up.
So much for jabbering on about the shop. I am pleased with the way things are looking and think I'll even be more excited when we get things moved around a little more tomorrow!
I did get a double bed today! Elmalynn Prince brought in a bedroomset that was her father's. The bed wouldn't go together... it needs some bolts and so then we couldn't set it all up and we have this mattress. I decided I could bring the mattress home and just pay for it. John took the twin mattress for Natty's trundle. So it all worked out good. I also brought home my wicker couch for the front porch and it looks awesome. I also got the rug from the entry room to put in my entry because it matches my livingroom rug... Life in the consignment business can have it's rewards!

John took the twin mattress for Natty's trundle. So it all worked out good. I also brought home my wicker couch for the front porch and it looks awesome. I also got the rug from the entry room to put in my entry because it matches my livingroom rug... Life in the consignment business can have it's rewards!
