WHATS HAPPENING FRIDAY

Wasn’t yesterday nice? And today is suppose to be great again. I am glad that things have cooled off I just cant stand the heat and humidly...it bothers me as much now as it did before I think..I can stay out longer than I use to but to try and work in it make me dizzy and weak I think worse than it use to be . of course I never worked outside much before surgery , early spring and fall .

I got a lot of weed pulling done yesterday, enough that my hands are swollen again this morning. I have got some new kind of weed that I never have seen before but I know it is thick, don’t know how I will get rid of it all. sort of a ferny looking leaf, dark green and not but about 4 inches tall I don’t know if it gets taller or not don’t want it to lol I know im not going to get it all but it sure is a mess.

Found 2 bags of tulips that I hadn’t planted last year.? That is weird for me to not plant them but the tulips look good so after the all my flowers have died back I will get them in the ground....i have an order in to Brecks for a big order of daffodils that they had on special a while back ...a variety of colors and shapes ...they will send them at the right time to plant. I want more of them just everywhere in the springtime. I would like them along every pathway eventually and maybe a lot just scattered. I think that looks so pretty in the springtime.

I told Joe I feel lost somehow when we don’t have something to work on lol ....i told him it was about time to buy something else to work on . He ask me if I was crazy....lol ,,, well probably but I have to have a project but I guess  we still have some things that we can do around the rent house and guest house and our house. So we have enough to work on.... one thing we need to do is to build a good set of stairs to the guest house...i would like to make a deck across about half of it with a covered roof . and on the rental house  I want to make a good flower bed by the front door and if we can find enough good flat rocks I think it would be nice to make a patio off the back of the house. Or off the side. That would probably have a lot more shade. And then we never did get our grill/fireplace for out side done.  Lol so see we have lots to do yet. A good day or a day and a half worth of work lol

 Bec we got a lot of thunder and lightening and a lot of rain when it was finally over we had about 3 inches . that filled up everything again I bet ...i know it filled my little ponds up .lol . the one back of the house we were getting it emptied out and that filled it back up oh well it is fresh water now.

How did Jo and Paul like the fair.  That stuff that you named off doesn’t tempt me. Don’t even like the smell of it, out of all of that I think I would like a funnel cake but I know in reality that a couple of tiny bites would be all that I could eat of it. most things that are fried in grease make my stomach hurt and turn too.  but im glad about that really, keeps me away from some stuff.  Joe had a deep friend twinky I think it was last year and oh my gosh that was horrible. They are bad enough before they dip them in batter and deep fry them ...i took a tiny bite of it , the size on the tiny baby spoons and that was horrible to me and Joe said he didn’t think it was good , and this comes from the worlds biggest sweet tooth.

Did you get your garage cleaned out? I bet that was a big job. But at least you had someone to help you...

I am really looking forward to our trip to Sedalia and the meeting on the 9^th...hope lots of people will come...

Hey you don’t like much to be to your one year surgerversary do you? A month from tomorrow ? yea!!!! Look how much you have accomplished ? you reached your main goal , to be rid of the diabetes and to feel better and to get around better . the weight loss was just a wonderful side effect lol. Thank God the diabetes is gone. that was going to be a killer for you with the amount you were having to take to control it.

Colette, I have been using the Terro, it has cut them down some but not enough. I keep that down under the house all the time. but cant find where these are really coming in at. And I will think I have them all gone and if Joe eats something late and puts his bowl , or plate in the sink , the next morning here they are again. crazy things.

Cant wait to see you on the 9^th...call anyone you know of in that area and tell them about the meeting ok?

Susie, well here you go again. lol you are so much braver than I could ever be. I just wouldn’t have the patience to work with them well . now kindergarten would be ok but any older than that and they start getting smart mouths on them lol  You ROCK

Will bring the mimosa tree with me to the meeting Monday.  I grew one in a five gallon bucket once because we were renting and I didn’t want to plant it. I got it to be about 6 ft tall and then we bought a place and I planted it. that first year it grew I know to double its size. I guess it was cramped in there. Lol  this one im bringing you is about 2 or3 ft tall if you are going to keep it in the pot I would get a five gallon bucket or one of those big molassas tubs . but I would go ahead and plant it in the ground and be sure and water it at least3 times a week if it is dry ...that will help it get off to a good start. Once it takes hold and starts putting on new leaves it wont have to be watered so much. And don’t worry if it loses all it leaves just keep watering and even if it doesn’t do any thing more this year it will probably come back in the spring. I always give something a full growing season to perk up and respond I wont pull them up or cut them down until it has had a full year to respond.

How is your husbands back doing?

Susan  how did you do with your full day of work? Of course Andy can ride to the meeting with us.....you know he can...thought you would be working on four off four...sounds like they are going to work you to death. Lol  were you really tired? Watch your feet and don’t let them even start getting bad ok?baby them ...get you a foot bathtub with the heat and vibrations and keep those tootsies in good shape.

I know everyone will miss you at the meeting....

Well going to get this posted  love you all bunches.
