sister-in-law's wedding preparations

After the engagement and the negotiation of the word agreement for the wedding. At home in-laws have started busy looking for firewood to cook later. The plan is to have a big father-in-law party. Understand Wati the last child so must be merry show later.

After noon at the evening party, there will be a puppet show until morning. Usually until three or four o'clock it is almost dawn.

"ma wants to come to Mak's house. Mas want to cut wood behind the house of Mak" said Mas Hasan when going to the house of Mak

"tomorrow mas, mama today is a bit tired" I replied while sleeping in front of the tv

" oh yes, we left first" said Mas Hasan

" yes, be careful" I said again

after Mas Hasan left I continued watching soap operas with Sifa who was fun playing dolls. Today I am quite tired of just taking a break at home anywayan many days later at the house of Mak to help the busyness there.

Our habits in the village all gotong royong from looking for firewood to make the cake to cook his tree until it is finished.

watching tv for a long time makes your eyes sleepy.

" mama's deck sleeps for a while" I said to Sifa

" yes ma" replied Sifa

I also intend to sleep for a while so that it is a bit lost tired later. hoam while yawning I stretch my hands awake from sleep. it does not feel like I have been asleep for an hour. The lyrics next to Sifa apparently fell asleep. I woke up and I let Sifa take a nap.

This afternoon the plan is to cook sambal telor ceplok only because mas Hasan must have eaten at home mak later.

When I finished praying and praying, I started cooking. I fried the eggs first just mengolek sambal for the eggs later. I finished cooking and washing the dirty kitchen utensils. After I sweep the floor, I sit for a while in the chair while waiting for Sifa to get up. Sometimes for a while sometimes Sifa sleep uncertain.

I lifted the clothesline and folded directly while accompanying Sifa. Finished all the work to stay with Sifa to sleep again. Soon Sifa woke up thirsty for a drink.

In the afternoon after the shower we sat in front of the house while waiting for Mas Hasan to come home. Almost six o'clock Hasan just got home.

" it's done looking for the wood mas" asked me when I finished praying magrib

" not yet ma new also in the saw tomorrow just cut his wood" said mas Hasan

" oh, a lot of it was just a saw this afternoon" I asked

" that's pretty good, right for a big party must have a lot of supplies" said Mas Hasan

" tomorrow Mak asked for help we also make a cracker of sweet potatoes crowded mumpung hot weather" I said again

" yes, I took the yam too" said Mas Hasan again.

After our talk dinner, Mas Hasan also ate a little because Sifa whined to be accompanied by her father's meal as well. Hasan had to eat again.

after that, we went to the house of in-laws. Just out of the house was heard in Revelation calling on the road inviting to the house of in-laws as well. finally we together there, until the house of Mak my sister-in-law the Lia is also already here.

" Sifa tomorrow buy princess clothes so pink will be the same for Lisa's adek" he told Sifa when we just arrived

" you've bought princes bik clothes" asked Sifa

" oh later I invite mama also buy clothes princes" said Sifa

" yes, later we buy clothes princes yes" said I respond

We also women to the kitchen frying sweet potatoes while talking. The plan is last tomorrow Zuhur we make sweet potato crackers. next morning Mak same Wati who peel all at grated. If someone finishes cutting in the morning, help first. The fathers sit on the front porch while coffee accompanied by fried yams.

Fun chatter does not feel the clock has shown nine more. You also go home to each other.

Today I went home quickly this morning already cooked, so I finished getting ready to go directly to the house of Mak. Apparently it's finished peeling his yam stay in grate. I helped grate the remaining half in Wati's help Mak. The herbs all in the love of garlic and salt are given a little Ajinomoto. After that it is left in the basin waiting for later to be executed.

" This mother is only half eleven hours long for her crackers sja mak" my advice to Mak in-laws

"iya bel let Mak make fire to boil water" said Mak-in-law

finally we started to make enough crackers to get a quarter until noon. At twelve, we stopped to eat and rest. One hour began again to make his crackers brother-in-law and other brothers had come to help.

" Mak is given the same green color as yellow Mak, so there are many choices" said kak yuni

" yes Yun we just made the red color is the same as the original" said Mak

Finally we made some color there is red, yellow, green and original or no color. Once steamed the yam is dried to dry. If I like eating out steamed and sugar-loving. Very tasty sweet-sweet that, let alone still warm eating it.

This afternoon we make crackers until half-five.

" ultimately finished the first chapter" said kak yuni as she stretched her arms and twisted her body to stretch her muscles.

" yes, a lot of sitting also makes this waist sore" I said

" tomorrow leave, Mak tomorrow again make it, so there is a pause for rest" said Lia

"yes it is not papa whatever who wants to help, meaning the day after we make again" said Mak

" yes, Mommy" replied Lia

When we were busy making Wati cake was cooking before we went home to eat first. Five o'clock we just got home. I went home first with Revelation and her mother. Yuni's sister still seems to be talking yet to go home.

Until our house immediately took a shower and rest. Mas Hasan just returned home from the garden to add to the cutting of wood.

We finished our shower sleeping in front of the tv while watching a cartoon.

" direct shower mas will be good later stay rest" I told mas Hasan

" yes ma, get me a towel mas ya" said mas Hasan

after taking a bath mas hasan joined the front of the tv bed while stretching his muscles seems quite tired mas Hasan.

We slept in front of the tv until night. Tonight lazy to go out mas Hasan was already asleep maybe too tired his body. Until the morning we slept in front of a lazy tv to move to the room. The TV was as clear as I had turned it all off in deep sleep. It is only the beginning of tomorrow and so will be a lot of busyness waiting for the preparation of the party Wati. May we always be given the health benefits amin my prayer in the heart. after turning off the tv I also go to sleep again until morning.
