WHATS HAPPENING FOR SUNDAY

Made a new flower bed, lol like I needed one but just didn’t have anyplace to put these plants that I took out of this one bed.  Got 3 more beds weeded and put preen on them. Im trying to think what I can plant back on my fence …the climbing roses just aint cutting it.

Im going to take them up from there and put them up front on a trellis in nothing but sun and see if that helps them this fall. I don’t know what else to do with them. Ive sprayed and sprayed and fertilized and picked and babied them and nothing is doing too much good. And it isnt as if they were cheap roses, all came from Jackson Perkins and they sure don’t give them to you.  I love roses and wanted them but I swear I have never had this much trouble with roses. This was their 3^rd year and they should have this fence covered with canes and flowers. And they are doing nothing. A rose now and then and that is it.

I started spraying weed killer on the area that we are hoping to make into a garden hopefully this fall if I can get someone to dig it up for us in time…and we can get all the weeds out. if not it will be ready for next spring early. But had to stop because it kept looking like rain and would have just wasted the weed killer. Darn!!!

My little garden that we put out this year didn’t do much of anything. Got a few tomatoes , the peppers did the best of everything. And the white cucumbers. Those were really good , you should taste them they aren’t acid tasting at all. real mild.

I don’t know a whole lot about veggie gardening , will be a learn as I go deal. Lol

Hopefully we will be able to put stuff down to keep out the weed pretty good. Don’t know how much preen it will take for that but if can keep them down in between the plants and on each side , we can till down the middle to keep them out ….

Does anyone know when is the best time to plant sweet potatoes? no need to plant the Irish potatoes cause we don’t use them  anymore.

If it stops raining tomorrow I will continue to spraying weed killer if the wind isnt blowing. Don’t want the stuff blowing back on me for sure/

Will be glad when we get our truck back. . we took it to the guy out here close to us , we have seen a lot of his work and he is good. He quoted us the best price for all of it and come the closest to the amount the insurance company said.

Oh some of you ask me what that test was that I did at home here the other night, to test my O2 saturation levels.  They brought me this little recorder like that was hooked up to the little finger thing that they use to check your oxygen levels , like when you go to the doctor? Anyway I slept with that on all night ,and it hooked to the machine and recorded if I got good oxygen all night or whether I had periods that I wasn’t breathing  well. They start with that and will see what it says, when I go to my appointment Thurs with the sleep study doctor. I guess he will decide if I need the sleep study or not from that and the questionnaire that they sent me , a lot of it I have to ask Joe if I do this or that while I sleep. He says I snore, I think he is pulling my leg lol Of course I don’t snore. Good grief .

Don’t you all just hate paying bills? I sure do  makes me so mad to have to spend my money. And doesn’t help that everything keeps going up and up . My elect bill this month for our house was 135.00 plus the elect bill for the guest house for just having it on is 26.00. sure could use that money for more fun things than elect bills.

VESTA::::  so glad that the flowers did well for you. That is amazing that they mostly lived , transplanting in the heat we were having is almost always sucidide for plants. Did you keep them watered daily?

Sure glad you are feeling better. It is just a fact of life that when we had this surgery we HAVE TO DO CERTAIN THINGS FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.  It is easy to forget and thinks we are normal but we aren’t . I like to say we are Hybrids, you know like the hybrid car, it gets more action out of a gallon of gas, and we get more action out of a little bit of food. Lol

SUGAR:::::well did you find your new bedroom furniture? You have had what you have for a long time haven’t you?

Those rings , it just sounds more and more like God replaced them there for you to find.

He can do that you know. I know he is the only thing that kept a car we had once going for about a month till I could get some money saved up to trade it in.

The wheels toed out really big time and everytime I got in it to go to work I would pray, GOD just let me get to work safely and I would , when I got ready to come home I would pray GOD just let me get home safely. And I would . I had two guys look at it once and they said they wouldn’t drive it 15 feet . but I drove it 30 miles one way daily to work and 30 mile back home for over a month. .

Oh we are to be in rooms A and B this month on the 25^th the 4^th Monday of the month isnt it ? lol yep that is right.

So is Mike not in that place in Branson now? I thought he would be there for a year. Or was it just a show to try and get everyone off his back.

Yeah you need to wear the ring so people can see what they prayed for lol

SHEILA:::: hello angelette… how are you doing with the roaring in your head, did it finally go away or is it still with you?

Girl it has been way to hot to try and can , I had to let a lot of my flower beds go about the weeds.no way was I going to get out in that hot sun like that.

Seems like a lot of us haven’t been eating enough. Maybe we thought we wouldn’t have to. …

Well if this is a play favorites place you are one of my favorites. So come on and play .

You know you are loved here.

RENEE::::congradulations on the stop smoking ,,,that is a hard addiction and they say as hard as giving up drug but  I think cigs. Are a drug. At least the nicotine is a drug.

Havent been to the drive in , in years and years. Are you talking about the one in Aurora?

Not many of them left are they. I saw one last weekend on my way to Fredericktown, and don’t remember where it was.

See I think that is funny that you cant get anything to grow, I cant either , God does it I guess. I just plant the seed and keep i****ered and the weeds pulled and there it is.

DEBBIE  D::::: Ssounds like you had a nice day with the family. The suit sounds neat.

I bet he will appreciate it too. I love pinstripe suits. That is what I wanted to get Joe but it is all I can do to get him into a sports coat .

I really didn’t do that much today I don’t think, could have done a lot more and should have done a lot more.

I don’t think many peoples tomatoes did well this year either. I know mine didn’t.

Just wasn’t a good year for tomatoes.

ANDREW::::: did you measure all over before you had surgery:? You need to do that now. I have a good tape measure that I know would work for you. I know you have lost lots of inches in the last couple of weeks. It is like you can just see you going down . Seems funny. I guess that is how Joe and others felt about me when I was losing so much. I never saw it but I can see it happening to you daily. Keep up the good work.

Oh yummy that eggplant parmesan sounds so so good. I love that.

See you in the morning if it isnt pouring down. if so we can wait till later tomorrow too it isnt suppose to get but in the mid 70s tomorrow all day.

So if it is raining early , we will go after you all get home from church.

LOVE AND HUGS

GOD BLESS

Good morning all! I wish I could start sleeping later but this is all I can do...7 hours! But I shouldnt complain, that is about 4 hours more than I used to get and alot more than alot of you girls get on here. I was so happy after surgery that I started sleeping better. Ive not slept really good my whole life until this past 1 1/2 years. WOW! It will be 1 1/2 years next month and almost 2 years for you sis...doesnt seem possible.

NO! I never made it to look at furniture. I went to exercise and was going to do that after...well, I stopped at too many garage sales on the way in and got to class late so that meant I had to stay part way thru the next class and I was going to get home to go help Chelle pack some.  Then she didnt come by till later and by then I had a belly ache. Oh well, I did finally get some advice on a good jeweler in town, so I need to go see him on Monday and get that all figured out. No telling what it will cost me to get all of the stuff done that I want but Im doing it no matter what.

I found a bedroom set on Craigs list but the lady was real vague about telling me where she lived so I guess I wont go see it! lol! Wonder how she thought I would look to buy? It was gorgeous in the pictures....Tomorrow I think Mary and I are going to go look, after I take my jewelry in.

Hey sis, just think of paying that electric bill and how much more it could be...if elec had gone up the past few years as much as everything else, you would be paying at least twice that..it really is a good bargain.

Yeah as far as I know Mike is still in the place but on weekend he can go places and to see her is one of the places hes been. Instead of coming and getting his boys on Friday evening, he went there instead and didnt get the boys until late on Saturday afternoon. So you can see where is priorities were. Skyler sat out by the road all day waiting for him, crying. He told his mom. "dad never does what he says hes going to do." Christians reply was, "you just now figuring that out?" What a sad thing! Please pray for those boys to see how much their mom loves them and for them to start to turn loose of thier dad some.

So Sheila, where have you been? I have missed seeing your bright smile on here... I sure hope I have never made you feel that way...I know you are on of my favorites so I might be accused of playing favorites with you! lol! I agree with sis, it has been too hot to be out there working...especially if your not getting in enough water and food..dont do that to yourself. Have you still not got your cars to running? What is going on with them?  Maybe you need to go on Craigs list and see who you could get to barter with you on something to repair them. I read yesterday that a mechanic was wanting to trade his work for something...Or maybe you could post for something you could do for someone else in trade for car repairs or even a different car. I think this world is going to come back to the barter system big time because $ are so tight for everyone. Thought you might want to check that out anyway..

   Where in the world was everyone yesterday?  Renee I do want to congradulate you on giving up that awful habit. I can say that cause 15 years ago in March I gave it up too! Me and Jan quit within 1 day of each other not even knowing the other one was quitting. God is so good and gave us each other to kinda help us get thru that time I think. It really wasnt as hard as I had always imagined. I have never ever thought of going back to them. My next goal is to get Rick to give them up. That is something I would ask all you prayer warriors to pray for...that they would just start making him sick so he would want to give them up. Right now he has no desire to. I hate thinking what it is doing to him.

So Andrew, how is the leg doing? I sure hope the swelling goes down and you can keep moving. I know the results you are getting from your exercise has to be so exciting and gives you such encouragement. Do you like the house now that you are all settled in? IS the plumbing all still working??? lol! That had to have been such a pain. Im glad you have great landlords that will fix things when they go wrong....lol! Of course Im a little partial.

So Janet, I want you to start looking for me some stuff on your garage sale quests...I would even pay you a finders fee...lol! I know some days it seems like everywhere you turn there are bargains and then other weekends, nothing. Have you started setting up your Ebay stuff yet? Let me know when you are going to do that and I will talk to you more about the wedding stuff I have to put on there.

Well all, I guess I will close for today and get started on studying a little more on my SS lesson. It is on how to know when to witness to people even when they claim to be "religious". That is a hard thing to do.

Love to you all and big hugs!

Hellooo Mo peeps!
wow the board sure is hopping today! good luck you all headed for the loosers bench! got a lil spot all shined up for ya! and just a little spot is all you will need!
 I dont get to post alot do to the J-O-B but I do get on every morning and weekends!
lots going on around here...my good paying 2nd income is NOT cutting being the primary income and we are sinking....there will be NO unemployment...2 appeals not gonna happen. so now its time to go looking and we/he really hates that he will be working again. he has gotten so much done around here and I would miss him and his good cooking...LOL
he has gone looking a few times but he is reluctant to lie on his application and the fact that they all ask about GED is worrysome to him...yanno he quit school to work full time to take care of me and Jevin... I did not ask him to do this. he struggled in school and a bad childhood he was ready to have his own life.....he always ment to get it...he just never had the time. he always worked so I didnt have to so I could take care of our kids. he is signed up to take the classes but here in Carthage they dont start up again until Sept.  I told him....lie at fastrip...dont lie at schribers....he is going to Aegis tomorrow....I find that amusing....my sweetie is NOT much a talker...thats what he has me for
but if thats what he wants to do than more power to him. he really is thinking GED and maybe some computer classes for repairing the hardware aspect of them....he keeps ours maintained and has upgraded his a few times over the last 6 yrs he has had it.]
I just want him to earn something like a paycheck and be home on the weekends more than once everyother month.
 I feel like we have missed out on alot and we are just getting back to the good stuff...like today
we went bowling....we bowled 2 games and had the best time. I had alot of balence issues and did not do well but he wasnt horrible. so now we are planning to go every other week.
my chest and arm muscles feel tight and tired! another good reason to go.
Im thinking about one of those dance games....anyone know what Im talking about...that you use a mat to dance on?
I love to dance and would enjoy getting more excersize that way.   I used the lightest ball and did not have any hernia issues so another sign as to this being good for me. than I took him out to the falls. it was beautiful. we sat out on the rocks enjoying the water for a long while. very romantic!
I think the rain is done for now. Marion Days are over for another year. poor peeps got rained out
they left alot of stuff behind due to the mud....yes my dear hubby Dean is a collector of everyones junk and he got 6 or 7 tents...colman lantern,ice chest, and these really kewl bamboo area rugs.

2 of them are blue and will look awesome in my Gazeebo under the patio furniture in there.
 so the descion has been reached that we will indeed sell our home of 18 yrs sometime in the next 2 yrs and move to Florida. we still have Catriona to graduate and we have decided we would like to have a huge 25th wedding anniversery party in the summer with the pool and yard done how it is....one last shabang before leaving. so fall of 2010 will see this mom and pop in Florida.
our actual anniversery is in Dec...we could have a romantic beach renewal of vows(SIGH)
I am thinking of you lucky girls having surgery this week! I wish for you all the success I feel I have had in my journey!
