Nana is Visiting

Linda and I received a call this morning from Brent, telling us that Nana, Pauline and him were on their way to our house and they were stuck in traffic between Indy and Louisville. Linda did most of the talking and I was just sitting in the same room. After that I went outside to bush hog some places for the final time this year, I hope. Linda was using the string trimmer around some of the buildings. I finished with the tractor and Linda quit trimming. We had a lady and her daughter come by to look at the mums and she wants to buy 50 of them for her daughters wedding. While that was going on, another car pulled in the driveway while we were at the mum patch. Stacey sold them some mums and pumpkins and then I saw a mini-van pull in the driveway, so I headed back to the house knowing that the lady had previously bought seven. This was the third time she had stopped and bought seven mums each time. I went back to the patch and picked up Linda. We rode home and as I was setting on the back porch in the swing cooling off, I heard someone pull in the driveway. I went around and met Pauline, Brent and Nana. I gave her a hug and told her we were glad she came down. We sat on the back porch for a while talking and watching all the dogs. More people pulled in and we had to go dig mums. Pauline and Brent loaded up their dogs and went to the mum patch with us. They helped dig the six mums and then they left for home. Linda and I went back home and we all had sandwiches and then our neighbors came over to buy 4 mums. So we loaded the neighbors in the truck and took them to the patch, dug the mums for them and took them home. We pulled back over to our driveway and it was completely dark. Linda went inside and I watered the mums we had already dug for the Homemaker's Meeting on Thursday. We have to move them into the red cargo trailer tomorrow and dig those 50 mums for the wedding by Friday. I told Linda I didn't think we could have them done by then, but she says we can. Stacey and I went to bed with Linda and her mom still talking.
