Happy Birthday Dad!

Dad I miss you! You would have been 81 today!

It’s Friday!

But every day is the same for me!

I spent all morning in my sewing room trying to catch up on the mending that has been stacking up down there. Been awhile since I have done any sewing, it puts stress on my neck.

Another pretty day, warm and sunny with breezes. Fall’s almost here! Colors will start showing soon! Then it’s pumpkin patch time.

Another day and the same old thing!

Just got Rudy out the door, now to start my day. Nothing planned for today, same old thing as always!

I completed the kids’ Halloween cards  yesterday. I’ll add the pic soon!

Need to make some birthday cards now, we have 4 birthdays in our coming in the next 2 months.

I really need to design my Christmas cards for this year and get to working on them. ??? wonder what I’ll do this year with them. Last year Renee’ designed a digital card design for me and we sent them to Costco to be printed and I mounted them on card stock.

Off to get my day going, have irrigation going already. I will need to check in in awhile and make sure it’s till working. Wish we had a dependable pump and system and not have to watch it so closely. It takes up alot of my time, since I’m the one home during the day to keep it going. Soon water will be shut down, haven’t heard the date yet.

My morning so far

I got Rudy off to work, that takes awhile these days. Then off to the dentist to have a crown put on. Now I’m home again and just can’t seem to get my day going. Whenever my schedule is off, it’s really hard for me to get moving.

Sitting here wondering how long the weather will last before the cold days arrive. Definitely not looking forward to winter arriving. Way too cold here in the winters in Eastern WA and hot in the summers. Is there no median place to live?

Won’t be long and holidays will be upon us and who has money for the holidays?

Well off to my Scrapbook room to finish the cards I’ve been working on, need to make some birthday cards real soon.

Big Screen TV

Rudy’s TV went into the shop last Friday! We had replaced the lamp in it less than a month before and it started going off again.

So he’s been watching our very old 19 inch with no remote!

The Repair Shop called yesterday and said the TV has not gone out for them yet. See! I told Rudy the TV was possessed!

Looks like we’re out the fee to check the TV out and we’ll be bringing it back home.

My life!

On Saturday I got stung by a wasp on my wrist. I’ve been dealing with redness, pain, itching, and swelling.The swelling went from my watchband area almost to my elbow.

Not a very good pic.

Today it’s finally looking better.

I have reactions to stings, but luckily never end up in ER with one.

I was minding my own business, just watching stumps be removed from our property and the little bugger got me! What’s the deal?

Something to think about!

TWO WOLVES

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

“One is Evil –  It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

“The other is Good –  It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Windy and Smokey!

We have a number of brush fires in our area tonight. It’s very smokey and the wind has increased the last hour or so. We had a lightning storm last night and numerous fires started in our area. I’m hoping they get them under control soon!
