A BEAUTUFUL AND BUSY WEEK

SO AFTER I GOT HOME FROM WORK LAST THURSDAY{YEP STILL THERE} MOMMA CAT WAS LET OUT WHEN HUBBY AND KIDS GOT HOME AND NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. MEANWHILE I AM STUCK WITH 6 KITTENS THAT WE ARE BOTTLE FEEDING. I AM NOT A HUGE CAT PERSON BUT THE KIDS WERE HEARTBROKEN AT THE MENTION OF SOMEONE ELSE TAKING IN ORPHAN KITTENS AND NEVER SEEING THEM AGAIN. SO I AM NOW DEALING WITH IT AND SPENDING MONEY ON THEM. UGGH. THEY WILL BE 3 WEEKS OLD TOMORROW .

WE HAVE ALSO GOT 3 BUNNIES NOW AND ALL WE NEED IS A BUCK TO BREED. WE PLAN ON RAISING AND EATING THEM. I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE CRINGING RIGHT NOW BUT THATS JUST THE WAY IT IS.

WE GOT THE POOL COMPLETELY DRAINED AND THE LINER SITTING IN THE BOX BUT THE ONLY DAY HUBBY AND I HAVE OFF TOGETHER ARE SUNDAYS ,WE MOWED AND WEEDEATED THIS LAST WEEKEND. I KNOW THAT THIS SUNDAY IS MOTHERS DAY BUT WE MAY SEE IF WE CAN WORK ON IT EARLY AND FINISH IT UP AFTER WE GO TO MOMS TO EAT. STAY TUNED.

A BIT OF GOOD NEWS AROUND HERE--I NO LONGER HAVE TO PAY FLOOD INSURANCE ON A PLACE THAT WILL NEVER FLOOD. YOU SEE THE BANK THAT WE HAVE OUR MORTGAGE THROUGH REQUIRED US TO HAVE FLOOD INSURANCE. IT RUNS AROUND $700.00 A YEAR AND WAS DUE THE FIRST PART OF NEXT MONTH. GOT A PAPER IN THE MAIL FROM THE BANK THAT SAID WITH THE REMAPPING OF THE FLOOD ZONE THAT WE NO LONGER HAD TO HAVE IT..YAY.

WE HAVE HAD A MIXTURE OF GOOD AND BAD GOING ON AROUND HERE THIS WEEK BUT IT HAS BEEN SUCH BEAUTIFUL WEATHER OUT EVEN THE BAD HASNT SEEMED SO BAD. I FOUND A REALLY WET SPOT IN THE YARD YESTERDAY AND THE PIPE LEADING FROM THE OUTSIDE WATER TO THE HOUSE HAD A LEAK. I DUG IT UP AND FIXED IT AND WAS MUD FROM HEAD TO TOE. I JUST MADE IT WORK AND NOT LEAK BUT THE OLD MAN IS GOING TO DO SOME ADJUSTMENTS SO IT STAYS TOGETHER WHEN WE BURY IT AGAIN. SO FOR NOW THERE IS A BIG DEEP HOLE IN THE YARD.

WELL I NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK AROUND HERE BUT FIRST I HAVE TO FINISH LOOKING OVER MY E-MAIL. IT TEND TO BACK UP WHEN YOU DONT CHECK IT FOR A WEEK. TAKE CARE EVERYONE AND HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

ANOTHER RAINY DAY

WELL IT IS A RAINY DAY TODAY AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON AND OFF UNTIL MIDDAY SATURDAY AND THEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER NICE AT LEAST UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK THAT WE KNOW OF. OF COURSE THAT COULD ALL CHANGE AND USUALLY DOES BY THE TIME IT ROLLS AROUND.

WELL I DID NOT GO INTO THE SHOP ON SATURDAY--I JUST WORKED SATURDAY EVENING FOR A KID AT BOB EVANS. IT WAS PROM TIME AND WE HAD TO FILL IN FOR ALL OF THE KIDS. THIS OLDER LADY CAME IN BY HER SELF AND SIT AT A TABLE. ONE OF THE OTHER SERVERS TABLE TOLD ME THAT SHE WANTED TO PICK UP THE OLDER LADIES TAB. IVE HAD PEOPLE DO THAT BEFORE AND WE JUST TELL THEM THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THEIR TICKET. SO WHEN I GOT UP TO THE CHECKOUT AND HANDED IT TO THE LADY I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW THE OLDER LADY AT ALL AND JUST THOUGHT SHE LOOKED VERY LONELY SITTING THERE AND THAT TO TELL HER THAT HER OWN MOTHER HAD RECENTLY PASSED AWAY AND THAT WITH MOTHERS DAY COMING SHE JUST WANTED TO PAY FOR THE OLDER LADYS MEAL. WELL LET ME TELL YOU SHE WAS CRYING --I WAS CRYING--AND OF COURSE I JUST HAD TO GIVE HER A HUG--BLESS HER HEART--SHE WAS SO GENEROUS--SO WHEN I TOLD THE LADY AT THE TABLE WHAT THE OTHER WOMAN HAD DONE SHE SAID THAT IT WAS ENOUGH TO BRING A TEAR TO THE EYE AND SHE WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT A COMPLETE STRANGER WOULD DO THAT FOR HER. MY THOUGHT WAS IF THIS LITTLE OLD LADY STARTS CRYING I AM REALLY GOING TO LOSE IT.

IVE JUST BEEN VERY BUSY TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THINGS. I MOWED THE GRASS ON SUNDAY AND IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE RUN EVERY DAY SINCE THEN. I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO TODAY I MUST GO. TIL NEXT TIME!
