I no longer observe Halloween, there just isn't any point as we do not get that many trick-or-treaters anyway. And it has only been in the last couple of years in reading other blogs, that some people are celebrating Reformation Day. This is the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95
Theses to the door of a church. I think celebrating that sounds like more fun!
For those of us that do Daylight Savings Time, Don't forget to turn your clocks BACK 1 hour tonight.
My heartfelt condolenses go out to the Klicka Family at the Passing of Chris, one of the founders of HSLDA!(or the founder, I'm not sure which).
I went to the Dr. today, and I have accute Sinusitis and Bronchitis! I'm on an antibiotic and an inhaler, I haven't been on an inhaler for over 6 years.
I think I'm getting a cold, I woke up this morning and couldn't talk. My throat has been bothering me for about 5 days now, but I don't have a stuffy nose. Ah, who know what's wrong!
In other news; The last 2 kittens died, don't exactly know what happened there.
Hubby's mom went to the hospital last Thursday, so we went to Little Rock on Friday to see her and stayed for the entire weekend, came home a week ago today. She seems to be doing fine now.
My oldest child's birthday is today, she's 27! I'm getting OLD!!
I put flannel sheets on our bed a few days ago, It's getting pretty chilly at night here.
I'm still around, just not much going on.
We did lose another kitten, so we now have only 2, and they seem to be doing well. Hubby seems to think the others died of starvation. He thinks maybe mamma wasn't making enough milk to sustain all of them. But, like I said, the remaining 2 seem to be doing OK, so we'll see how it goes.
*UPDATE* Another kitten died either last night or today sometime.
Five new kittens were born on Sunday afternoon, only 4 lived. They seem to be doing fine right now, I just hope mamma doesn't smother these like she did the last litter.
My heartfelt Congratulations to the Duggar Family on the impending birth of baby number 19!
I hope all goes well!!
Last September, I blogged that I was starting a new cross-stitch project, well, I didn't get very far on it as I messed up and couldn't un-pick it. I got it out last week and started looking at it, and decided I wanted to try again with it. The kit was from Dimensions and I wanted to do it in DMC floss, so I wrote them and asked for the colors in DMC. So, I went out and bought all the floss that I needed, and more Aida cloth in 18 count. It is supposed to be done in Ivory, but no one had Ivory, so I got Ecru instead. I haven't yet started it, but I think it should like nice when it's done.
I have been trying to lose weight for some time, and nothing seemed to work. Finally, I decided to quit drinking soda pop, and coffee(much to the disappointment of my husband), and started taking a fitness class at the same place I take Tai Chi lessons. I have finally lost about 3 pounds. YEAH!!!
OH, by the way, my toe is NOT BROKEN, it just really, really hurts like you know what, and is still bruised good!!
I was in my fitness class last night and walked right into a weight that we use, and I think I broke my little toe. It's turning a nice shade of Black, Blue, and Purple!!!
Yes, we took advantage of this program! We had a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan with just over 146,000 miles on it, and it needed about $2,000 dollars worth of work that we just did not have the money for. So, after about 2 months worth of research by my husband, we went on Saturday and looked at cars,( of course with this program you have to buy a NEW CAR.) Anyway, we went to a KIA dealer in the area and bought a 2009 KIA OPTIMA. We qualified because the van only got a combined mileage of 18, and with the Optima, we got a $2,500 rebate plus it qualified for the $3,500 thing from the government. So we got a very good deal, and cheaper in the long run for us. We just love our NEW CAR! This is the FIRST NEW CAR that either one of us has ever had in our lives.
We had an alright vacation this year, hubby's mom and sister are well. We got to see the twins for the first time, they are so cute. We did come home after the Arkansas trip as hubby was not doing well in the heat. So the week we were home, we did some work on the house.
Hubby went back to work on Tuesday of this week, and I have gone back to my routine of playing taxi-cab driver for everybody and their brother it seems like.
My van has a bad oil leak somewhere that needs to be fixed, so when I took it into Walmart yesterday to get an oil change done on it, they wouldn't do it. They said the leak was to bad. So I have to get that fixed this week.
And, my sinuses are acting up, so I don't feel real great right now.
Not much else going on.
Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July!!
We leave Sunday sometime for our 2 week vacation. I may not be on here till I get back.
Happy Father's to all father's out there! I no longer have my dad, nor does my husband, but we wish a Happy Day to all DAD'S!!
I grew up going to a combination of Public and Catholic schools. I graduated from High School 31 years ago, never went to college of any kind, and now I want to go back. I did not like High School that much,(I thought it was boring) and I don't really care for the public schools these days, but I want to take a college class in History. I am 48 years old and thinking about going back to school, what is wrong with me? Nothing, I just want to go, see what it's like, and take a class in something that I am interested in. Early American History!
We have been busy picking Mulberries from our 2 volunteer trees in the backyard. I have 5 quart size Mason jars full to the brim with Mulberries. 5 jars, FULL. I plan on making a pie on the first of July and taking it with us on vacation.(Don't worry, they are in the freezer). hope they will keep that way. I do have to get more jars though, there are more ripe berries on the trees, and more green ones popping out. Those trees just exploded this year. With any luck, I will get more than 1 pie out of them.
Also planted some more flowers today, too!
