Nice weekend so far
OK where is the warm weather? I need some warmth right about now. I can't believe it's so cold here in the south. But, it didn't stop my daughter and I from going garage salin' this morning, we hadn't been in months and they had a couple of big ones in town. We did however wait untill a little later to head out, after a cup or two of coffee and a hot biscuit. I found a few items, one or two that I probably should have left where they were. A some what large picture that I paid a dollar for and some brand new shoes that will probably give me blisters, but because they were never used and only cost a quarter, I had to have them. Can you say "NUTS". LOL The picture my daughter even warned me about the second I put my hands on it, "Mom, where are you going to put that?" And guess what, I don't have a clue as to where I'm going to put that. LOL But it's so purtty!
Once we returned home and unloaded all our goodies, I walk into the house to the aroma of soup simmering in a big pot on the stove. My dh had a hankerin for some hot veggie soup and took it upon himself to throw one together. He even went to the store for soup meat and chicken salad, how sweet was that. Now I don't have to cook today, and the sun is finally out to boot, lol.
Mom is having some good days and some bad days with her Alzheimers. She is more agitated in the evenings than any other time. Last night she was very upset with us changing her and putting her on another shirt to make sure she was warm during the night. The temp was going down into the lower 40s or upper 30s. My home is old and drafty and I'm so worried she will get ill. She does have the sniffles right now, so I pray that that is all it is. I have to get up all hours of the night to put her blankets back on her. She is constantly saying she is cold, even freezing, but insist on throwing her blankets all over the room, her pillow too. She still has her days and nights mixed up so she is up watching TV all night. That makes it hard for me to get a good night sleep because I worry about her being awake all night. So guess who is a little sleep deprived these days? It's almost like having a new baby in the house, lol. I do spend a lot of time asking God for a hand or two.......................

What are you doing with this extra day?
Happy Leap Day, I guess I can say that, LOL. Anyway I leaped into this day later than I usually do my other days. My dh was off today so I decided that I would sleep a little later, so I didn't get up untill 6:30, yep that late, LOL. We decided to finally go get our taxes done, so I called Mr. Francis, moms long time friend, to come and sit with her while we ran a few errands. We were the only people at the tax place and it still took over an hour. They were having some computer issues and the top lady wasn't in yet. But all and all, a good trip. We are getting back $3,000, which is so much more than I thought we would because with my dd moving out and us no longer being able to claim her on our taxes I thought it would be less. But for some reason it was actually more than last year, not sure why, but hey, I'm not going complain. I am so happy, now I can finally get the house painted. Oh my gosh it needs it so bad, it's been like 10 years, yeah I know, I'm ashamed. But when it cost over $600 in paint and materials it has to wait it's turn on the to-do list. Now lets hope nothing major breaks down in the next two weeks. You know that always happens. But that is just God's way of letting me have the money at just the right time when something breaks. You'll know how that is. I think some people use the phrase "you can never get ahead"!!! LOL Now im just lucky to have the money at times like that.
We had a bit of bad news yesterday. Moms only living relative, her brother, died yesterday morning from heart failure. She's lost everyone in her family, shes the only one left. It was the strangest thing, because I wasn't sure if I should tell her not, I didn't want to upset her and have her have a setback again. I prayed about it and asked God to let me know at what point, if any, should I tell her. Well low and behold I was in with her feeding her her lunch and out of the blue, she asked me " how is Uncle Bobby doing?" Well I almost lost it for sure, but did feel like that was the sign I was needing. I did tell her and she took it really well. She didn't cry and we had a good talk about things and she is doing great. Thank you God for that. So I have a funeral to attend in the morning.
Well my dd is here for a short visit and we have to tend to mom right now, so I hope everyone is having a good leap day and a good weekend ahead...........

Thoughts for Tuesday
My thoughts for today are filled with the sounds of drills and the smell of antiseptic, yes thoughts of the dentist office, where I've been since 7:20 this morning. I had to sit in a very small waiting room while my son had some $5000 worth of work done in his mouth. No wait I'm lying, they never did finish all the work they were scheduled to do, so he has to go back. Lets just say my son, the child with with )( that much paitence, was not a happy camper. He was hoping to get it all done today, but the medicine kept wearing off and he would wake up and start squirming around. So instead of giving more medicine they oppted to finish another day. As I said, one sad camper. He was suppose to come home with me for the rest of the day, but choose to go to his appartment, what cha gona do, he's 24 and a grownup, sometimes, LOL.
I did manage to get a majority of my daily chores done before I had to leave at 7, so I'm not too depressed about spending my entire morning away from home. I kinda started last night so I would be able to finish up before I left. And supper tonight is sloppy joes, the homemade version, which is still easy, but taste so much better than the can stuff.
Has anyone started getting their seed catalogs in the mail yet? I have gotten 5 or so of them so far. I have already made my spring garden list too. This years garden will HOPEFULLY be growing the following items:
banana peppers
beets
cantaloupes
carrots
cauliflower
corn
cucumbers
cherry tomatoes
eggplants
green onions
green peppers
jalapeno peppers
pole beans
radishes
tomatoes
watermelons
white squash
and
yellow squash
Not this list is apt to change on a whim for the more or the less. I would also like to grow some okra, but that is if space permits it. I am so looking forward to this years garden gamble. That's what it is here for me, a gamble. Some years a good crop, some years not so much. We have, well had, a very small "mom and pop" produce stand right down the road from out house that went out of business as of January 2nd of this year. The "pop" was getting too old to help the "mom" run the place and do the gardening, so they shut it down. I wish I would have enough land to grow the amount of produce that I would need to keep something like that up and running. I told my dh that I would just love to have that as my "job". Oh well, wishfull thinking on my part. I sure will miss that stand a lot..............

Thank You Notes, do you still send them?
Does anyone out there still send thank you notes to people in the mail? I still do, but I do think these little treasures are a thing of the past. A few years ago my husbands cousin was married and the mother of the bride insisted that everything was perfect.The biggest church in town, the nicest reception hall, the finest food, the works. There were many bridesmaids and each had a seperate car to be driven to the church in. All the cars had to be white Cadilacs. So I thought with measure of perfection being taken we would for sure receive a Thank You note. We not only attended the wedding with a nice gift, but I ended up working as a food server for the food line, and didn't mind one bit. I waited and waited and to my surprise one never came.
My husbands newphew graduated from high school two years ago, I'm still waiting for that note too. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the thank you notes in the package with the annoucements?
Whatever happened to these little notes? I know we are suppose to do things for people without expecting something in return, but I think it's just good manners to send them to someone who has done something nice for you. I don't know, is it just me?
Anyway I got this post from my Everyday Cheapskate newsletter and thought I would share it.
How and Why to Write a Thank-You Note
In these high-tech times when text-messaging and email are the preferred method of written communication, it might not have even crossed your mind to ask this important question: Do I have to send an old-fashioned thank-you note when someone gives me a gift? In a word, yes. It’s right, it’s proper and it’s good for you.
It is not difficult, nor should it be time consuming to write a simple, heartfelt note of thanks in response to a gift or other act of kindness.
Here are the elements of a well-written thank-you note:
GREETING. Keep it simple. “Dear Aunt Mary…” works well.
EXPRESS GRATITUDE. State your thanks and identify the specific gift: “Thank you so much for the video game. It’s a perfect addition to my Wii collection, and I appreciate it so much.” Or “Thank you for the sweater, which is the exact color I would have chosen.”
The only exception to the specific reference is if the gift was money. In that case do not say, “Thank you for the $100.” Say simply, “Thank you for the generous gift which is greatly appreciated.” However, in the event Aunt Mary actually took the time to create a clever presentation, it would be perfectly acceptable to say, “Your generosity is exceeded only by your clever ability to fold money into a beautiful swan.”
DISCUSS USE. A simple sentence that indicates how you will use the gift comes next. “I know I will get plenty of use from this sweater during my semester abroad in Antarctica.” Or, “It is my all-time favorite game so you can be sure that I will think of you often.” Or, “It will be spent well to help furnish the baby’s room.”
MENTION THE PAST, REFER TO THE FUTURE. Possibly the most important part of your message is reference to how this person fits into your life. Something like, “I remember fondly snow tubing with you on the hill behind the farm and I look forward to seeing you soon.” Or “You are in my thoughts and I hope to see you soon.”
REVISIT GRATITUDE. As you close your note, state again your gratitude. “Thanks again for your gift” is an appropriate way to close your note.
REGARDS. Wrap things up with a gentle close and your name. “Fondly, Joe” or “Love, Laura” are excellent choices.
There. Seal it up and get it into the mail. Even if you are the only person you know sending thank-you notes, don’t let that deter you. You’ve demonstrated gracious living at a time when most are too busy to be bothered.
As an added bonus—but certainly not offered as an incentive to do the right thing—thank-you notes have been known to encourage repeat performances, as well as improve the frequency and quality of future gifts.
Thank you one and all for visiting my blog today...............

Needing some help with an issue
I have a "spiritual issue" that I have been dealing with for some time. I call it that, but I'm not sure that is really what it is. Either way I need help.
Here is the deal. Growing up I thought I had the best life ever, my dad and mom both worked to give us everything we needed and wanted. My dad always said his children were his life. Dad died in a wreck 25 years ago this coming Tuesday, and that hit us hard, some of us harder than others. Once my dad died I saw a different side of mom, now don't get me wrong, she wasn't mean or anything, but she changed towards me. All of the sudden it was like my mom was done with me.
I had been married at the time of dads passing and was expecting my first child, so I was already on my own. My first husband was very abusive and treated me like dirt. I gave my birth to Kristy 6 weeks after dad was killed, then 10 months later I had Eric. The abuse was getting worse and was soon even directed at my children. I asked my mom for help, all I wanted was a chance to start over. Get a way out of the abusive realationship that I had found myself in and also to save my children from the pain. But for some reason mom always said NO. It was like "well you made your bed, now lay in it". She never actually came out with that, but she might as well have said it. Her actions said it.
I finally got a divorce from him and was struggling to raise my babies on my own. Mom did help with my finances, I quess she figured that giving me money to pay my rent was better than me moving into her big 3 bedroom home that she lived in by herself. (sarcasssm) I remarried and eventually had another child, my son Zack. The marriage was good for the first few years, then progressivly went down hill for the next few years. I struggled daily with wanting to leave him but not wanting to add another failure to my already long list of what was, my life. I did stay with him and am still with him today and yes, through much much much prayer, things are good with us now. I pretty much had no choice but to make it work, I had no place to go with three kids. But there were a few years in there when I would pick up the phone each and every day and just cry to my mom for help. But still I would get nothing from her in the way of a fresh start. I know that if my dad was still alive, he would have saved me from the start.
OK, I have a brother that I have posted about a few times. He is our little "black sheep", you know every family has one. He, my mom took in each and every time he came knocking on her door. The girlfriends, the dogs, the drugs, any type of baggage he had, she welcomed with open arms. He has done things to her that I won't even get into, but yet he was ALWAYS welcomed.
First let me just say that I do love my mom with all my heart and would never hurt her. ----- Now for my "issue". Some of you may recall that my mom was diagnosed with Alzehimers a few years back. She lived on her own for two years and when she no longer could do that, my "bah bah" brother and his then, fiance, moved in with her to help take care of her. Well after just a little while, the girlfriend couldn't take it, so she left him about 4 months ago. Now that it is just him dealing with it all, he can't take it. He has informed me that he is about to have a nervous breakdown. I don't expect him to be there much longer. So here is my diliema. I know in my heart I should WANT to take care of my mom. It is the RIGHT thing to do, but, when I needed her to take care of me for a bit so I could start fresh, I got a big fat nada. I am feeling some bitterness that I really don't want to have inside. I pray everyday that God releases that chunk of ugliness within me and let me be a GOOD Christian women who always shows love and compassion. But ladies, it's not coming!
I was saved years ago and feel as though each day is wasted because I feel that I can never be what the Lord wants to be. I actually cry most days because I feel like a failure to God and His word. I have heard of people that, when saved, have this big life changing thing go on inside their hearts. I want that!!!! Why can't I have that? What am I doing wrong that I am holding on to things and have bitterness inside my heart?
I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I've read the Bible. I read the scriptures about this thing that is eating me up inside. I listen to people preach on the subject and feel "fresh" for a while, then back to the other side. I want that lightening bolt of revelation to come down on me and slap me out of this heart hardening shell that as incased me.
****** Here's some irony for you, I don't have the room to move my mom into my home right now, and now that she would probably take me into her home, to take care of her, I no longer need her to. How's that for karma?
I am writing this today on my blog because as I have said before, you ladies have literally changed my life. I have become a better wife, teacher, and mom because of what I have read and learned on this blog site and from the links that I found on your blogs. I quess I'm hoping one of you have that "lightening bolt" that I'm looking for and needing.....................Thanks for reading this................Kitty
PS my brother just called, I wonder if his ears are ringing? lol

Sunday
OK, I'm back blogging. This last week I spent thinking of things to blog about, but couldn't come up with anything. I had PMS and I think it was blocking me thought process, lol. Ladies, you know how that is. Well it's gone and my own thoughts are back, for now. It's funny how those three little letters can absolutly change a person. Well at least it's not as bad as it use to be, thank God for that, I know my kids and hubby do.
I spent the week doing things around the house to get ready for Christmas. I did a lot of cooking, I feel the need to bake goodies at this time of year, more than usual anyway. I love giving things away, so I fix the neighbors goody boxes, I even let the kids bring stuff to where they work to give away. It's usually a big hit. I don't dare give anything to my inlaws tho, my mil would be upset. She has issues with people thinking they cook better than her. I've never said that, but her son, my husband has. I'll never tell her that though, LOL.
December and January are very busy birthday months for me. My entire family, with the exception of a few of us, all have birthdays in these two months. It started yesterday with a niece who turned 7, Wednesday it's my sons 24th and also my wonderful friend Debbie who turns the big **, you think I'm nuts, lol. Love ya girl! Then two days before Christmas is my hubby's big day, and right after new years it's my brother, then other son who turns 15 and brother in law, the day after that it's my mil, then my daughter. I told you, it's nuts. Not only do I have to figure out what to get all of them for Christmas, but I have to get them something for their birthdays too. I also have a few more inlaws in there to boot. That's a lot of baking of cakes and eating way to much stuff I'm really not supose to have. Oh well, theres always next year to start that diet.
I do hope everyone is having a great weekend and is in the holiday spirit. Keep in mind the reason for the season..............God bless us, everyone...........(oh yeah, I'm watching a lot of Christmas movies too. lol)
Thanks for visiting................Kitty

There is good news and bad news
The Good News
I had a wonderful nights sleep last night. I had many good dreams, some I remember and some I don't. I do love sleeping on my new mattress, it really does help with the lower back pains.
The Bad News
The alarm went off.
The Good News
My oldest son paid me the best compliment yesterday. He said he loved all the great home cooked meals that he gets from me. The conversation was that he had had a conversation with two "older" gentlemen at work. They saw what he was eating for lunch and asked him where he had purchased it. He politely told them that his mom, ME, prepares his lunch for him everyday. They, the "older" gentlemen, informed him that he was a lucky young man, because not too many people still cooked homemade foods anymore. So he tells me that he feels lucky to have me.
The Bad News
The "older" gentlemen were 50ish years old.........I'm 45, I knew it, I'm old.
The Good News
Today is payday, yaaayyyy.
The Bad News
Now I have to go to Walmart.
The Good News
I woke up this morning.
And on that good note, I bid you all a wonderful day and weekend............I'm off to fight the madness for some ricotta cheese for my dinner tomorrow.......................Kitty

They must have rode in with the cockroach
Is it just a Louisiana thing? Because if it is, I might have to pack up and move to another state. They are everywhere I tell you, everywhere. I can't seem to ever get rid of them, they just keep coming and coming. They must be breeding under my beds, ooohhhh how sickening. I bet that's why I havn't been able to sleep these past days. I can hear them snickering and laughing at my failed attempts to get them out of my house. Nothing stops them, they must have been hiding under the cockroach millions of years ago.
Please tell me that I'm not the only one who has them, these dasterdly little buggers who come in when you open the doors of your home to welcome friends. I know you must know what I'm talking about, tell me you do, tell me that I am not alone in this horror. I'm talking about DUST BUNNIES! <<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>
You would think with a name like "bunnies" they would be cute and cuddley, but they're not, they are hidious little creatures. There must be some kind of trap or poison that I havn't tried. I have tried the mop, the broom, the vaccum cleaner, the dusting rag, even bought one of those Swifers, nothing works. They just keep coming back. How do they get out of the garbage can. I have caught some and dumped them into the garbage can, took the bag tied it up,and took it to the road. Somehow they managed to climb out and roll their hairy little selves back into my home.
They are sneaky too, I saw one in the hall way yesterday and went to pick it up with a tissue and is scampered behind the door. I swear it saw me coming! One even rolled over my foot as I was reading blogs last night. I could feel something tickling my big toe, and as I looked down there it was, the horror of it all.
Please is there someone somewhere out there that can help me rid my home of these little monsters, are I am forever doomed to be on the lookout for them behind every door and under every piece of furniture I have. <<<>>>
There goes one now..........."Zach, get mom her Dirt Devil!"
Have a good day.............Kitty

New Kids by the Dozen show tonight
I thought I would pass this along. I was flipping through to see what was playing tonight on TLC and noticed that at 9 pm (central time) there is a new "Kids By The Dozen" show. This one is about the Winters family of 13 living with no modern conveniences. This one should be good. I love these types of shows. It is interesting to see how these larger family get along with doing things that we sometimes take for granted.
Have a good night...............Kitty

I need some advice, I think I may have done a bad thing
Having diabetes causes you look at food in a whole different way. Everything I eat has to be carbo-counted into my diet. I know a few people who found out that they had diabetes and changed their diets and actually have been diagnosed to be diabetes free. I can honestly say that I wish I was one of those people, but alas I am not. I have been on so many diets that I can't even remember how many. I have joined groups and went to meetings, the whole nine yards. I have bought workout tapes and pieces of equipment, books, cookbooks, basically everything.
After yo-yoing for literally years and years with my weight I have to come to a point in my life where, "it is what it is". I do try to watch what I eat and by doing just that have lost about 10 to 15 pounds since the beginning of the year. My biggest downfall is bread, I love bread, any type of bread, oh and butter it up. lol
One of the things I have changed in my diet was the milk I was drinking. I went from 2% to skim then finally within the last year and a half I have been drinking only soy milk. The reason is because of the carbs that it has, the Light Soy version only has 2 carbs versus the 12 + in most regular milk. I was trying to cut the carbs anywhere I could. I had also heard that it was suspose to help a women with menopause symptoms such as hot flashes ect. So I thought I was doing a good thing.
I love to check out links on other blogs and came across one a few minutes ago that has a long list of links about the soy issue. I read this STORY (please read it ) and thought oh my gosh. I have been having trouble with my period for the last year or so. I have also been diagnosed with several cysts and have noticed that my hair is always in the brush and sink. OH my gosh could I have been hurting myself, or have already done so?
I would love to have some imput on this subject, are you trusting soy or do you know anything that I don't about it. There were so many other great post at this site about soy products. I think I will head back over there and read a few more. But in the meantime, I think I'm going back to skim milk on my granola.
Thanks for visiting.............Kitty

A good *fall like* morning to ya
The day is gorgeous this Thursday morning. My dh is home, they have given all the mill workers off today because if it doesn't rain anymore, grinding will start in the morning. So he wants to go out to his most favorite place for lunch, Pizza Hut. Ok, not saying I don't like pizza, but the man took me there on MY birthday! He loves it, he could probably eat that everyday and never get tired of it. Well, he might ask for fried chicken every now and then, lol. He also invited his brother and his mom and dad. I was OK with it untill I heard the words, "no we are paying for it". I gave him the evil eye. I guess I should have never let him look in the checkbook, I'm the saver and he's the spender, LOL.
My daughter wants to learn how to make candy. She is so like her mom in that once the fall weather rolls around we start getting the itch to bake and make sweets. Once it cools off you can find me in the oven with something baking. So she came over this morning and we made pecans pralines. I think they could have cooked a tad bit longer but are done none the less, and as my dh says, eatable. Even if they wouldn't have turned out OK, just spending time with her in the kitchen is wonderful in itself. It does a mom's heart so good when her daughter asks for a recipe or help in the kitchen. Always a special time for me.
Have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by..........Kitty

Good Morning
I posted last night and again it went *poof* into cyber space. I wonder where all of our unpublished writings go, who is reading them? Well Mars won't learn anything from my little homesteading post, except how to make a cookie or two, LOL.
Here is my fall photo of the day. This is a Christmas gift from my dd Kristy that I received a few years ago. You can't see it but it has beautifully painted flowers on the front of it, (hidden by my lovely fake greenery). It's a hand made flower box made out of very old cypress wood. Cypress wood is very desirable around here because it never rots. Most of the older houses were made of cypress for that fact. Around here in the swampy areas we tend to flood with a good rain so your home had to be made of something that could withstand all of the water and the damage that came with it. Now days if you have an older home that you are dismantling and it's made of cypress you will get a pretty good price for the wood. It is highly sort after for making crafts such as this. Anywho that is my history lesson for the day, LOL.
It has been raining the last few days so I have had to stay inside. Finding something to do isn't hard at all when I'm stuck in the house. I picked a bucket of pecans on Sunday so I have been shelling my little goodies for pies and candy. I have a gallon ziplock bag full already. Usually it takes much longer but these are so easy to shell. They aren't paper shells but I am still able to pull out whole halves, and I love that. My fingers are a little sore and I actually sliced my finger with the knife I use to get the little peices out, but all and all, it's a good thing.
My brother just called and I have to sit with mom for a bit this morning cuz her regular sitter has a doctors appointment. We were also talking about his ex fiance. Almost a year ago they were in a car accident that totaled my moms car. Well now that they have broken up and she has gone back to her parents, she decided that to get back at my brother she would sue him and my moms insurance company for the wreck, on the grounds of pain and suffering. I didn't want to get into it with him because I know he still has feelings for her, but I just hope she isn't trying to collect on my what little money my mom has in the bank. The insurance company called my brother yesterday to discuss the case and through conversation he let them know that he was still in contact with her and she has been telling him things about her case. The insurance man laughed and told my brother to get what info he could from her. I think my brother might have a slight problem with decieving her that way. HELLO she's sueing you bro!
Well I guess I will go get Z up and start our day. After Moms I want to go to town and get my hair cut. Yes it might snow, Kitty is actually going to let someone cut her hair. I usually do it myself but havn't been much in the mood for a scalping lately.
Have a great and blessed day and thanks for coming by.........Kitty

Rainy Monday
It was a beautiful weekend here but the heavens opened up around 2 am this morning, now it's a dreary Monday morning. The sugar cane grinding season starts this week, actually was suppose to start tomorrow, but with this rain it will probably be pushed back a day or two. This is the time of the year that I love the most, but my dh hates it. I really can't blame him though, they work non stop 8 to 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to 4 months. Untill all the cane is in the mill the mill never stops. The money is fantastic but it wears all of us out, mostly the guys. I worked a couple of years in the scale house, it's looooonng, very long. But like I said the money is good. This is the time when all the bills get paid off as much as possible and I'm able to stock the freezers, pantry, and shelves with things. Christmas is good too, although dh never really gets to enjoy it.
I spent the weekend picking pecans. My daughter has five trees in her yard, three of which put out very nice size pecans and they are really easy to shell. I will be posting my pecan pie recipe later this week with pictures (of course, lol). A couple of friends are coming for the weekend and one is from another state so I want to make a couple of southern desserts. The pie and some pecan pralines are on the menu. I just hope the pralines come out, I do have trouble with them turning every now and then. When they do come out right they are great. I'm hoping the weather is good, I really think that has a lot to do with it too. And besides I hope the weather is good for their visit.
Well Z is waiting for me to ring the school bell, yes, he makes me ring a bell. That boy, LOL.
Have a great day and thanks for visiting...............Kitty

Fall is in the air, but maybe not for long here
I went outside this morning at 5 to see my dh off to work and it was soooo cool, I almost ran inside to get a sweater. Of corse by hubby laughed at me and said one of his little ditties that he always has for me, "you have onion juice for blood". Not sure what that actually means, but I let him have his say and gave him a courtesy giggle, LOL.
I couldn't get on the blog yesterday so this is what I would have posted yesterday. I am loving the crispy air in the morning so I decided to decorate for the Fall season. I love love love this time of year. I'm not sure if it's the coolness and the relief of the hot Louisiana summers or the colors. I do love the colors but we really don't have that vibrant change of greenery down here, everything mostly turns browns and falls off. So yep, I would have to say that is the coolness,lol.
Here is a picture of my little mailbox that I have hanging at my front door. I use purely for decorative purposes. I love the way the morning sun makes the picture look. I will post a picture each day for the next couple of days. I just hope I don't have to take all my decorations down. As some of you might know we have a storm that is supposidly (is that an actual word? lol) coming our way. I just got my yard looking nice, after not wanting to work in it due to the heat recently. Yeah that's about right, my yard looks good so a storm is coming. Huummmm
Well wish us luck with the weather and if you'll don't see me on for a bit, that means we lost power, which I hope doesn't happen. I'm really hoping that this cool weather pushes it away from us. Hoping and praying. I almost hate to pray about storms and such, because I always feel guilty about it hitting other places. Oh well God is control anyway.
Well let me head back to my cup of coffee which I left on the kitchen table. I actually came into the computer room to pick something up and sat right down. Bad Kitty.
Have a tremdously great day everyone................Kitty
