WHATS HAPPENING MONDAY
well we are home from Ark...beautiful drive down 21 ....have any of you ever been to Ponca where the Elk are? that is one beautiful valley isnt it? the leaves are all at their peak color down there and they have so many more red, oranges and yellows than we do in the woods. it is so so pretty.
I guess they are the hardwood maples. we have lots of maples but they are the softwoods or that is what i have been told. I know the maple trees i have in my yard arent a pretty color , they are just tan sort of.
Well lots of work to do this morning , I usually leave the elephant ears in the ground and cover them with straw but they have multiplied to the point of needing to be thinned again. so i am digging them up this morning before i go to work because of the heavy frost we had while we were gone. then tomorrow i will have to lay them out and get them all dried out so i can store them for the winter or replant them and get straw over them one or the other.
Also tomorrow since i will be off i need to get other plants cut back and covered and a lot of stuff pulled up out of the gardens too. busy busy day today and tomorrow and probably the next day too.
need to do some transplanting now too. then have to get the fruit trees ready for winter. need to spray then with this oily stuff to protect them...forget what it is called lol .
we really had a great time at Micheles on our visit. was great....We ran around and did normal mother and daughter things. She had me all sorts of little gifts when i got there. so cute.
She even had me some of my favorite protein bars stocked up ....didnt think she had noticed what kinds i ate.
Their house is really really nice....a ranch style 3 bed 2 bath , large kit, dinning room and living room all open to each other. and a nice 2 car garage. anyway she has it decorated so very very nice. with beautiful furniture she got all from garage sales. lol no joke that is her new passion , garage sales lol
she has some of the cutest clothes and shoes. brand new stuff that she has gotten at garage sales, and her furniture isnt wore out junk but really nice stuff. the bedroom suite in her guest bedroom is solid cherry ,colonial style...beautiful not a scratch on it either. then her bedroom suite is big oak four poster , i told her i have never seen stuff like that at garage sales and she said you just have to be patient...and look....and go to the best areas lol ...anyway she loves doing it and it sure doesnt look like garage sale stuff. She appears happy and content. that is all any mother can ask for her child.
Her boyfriend seems the same. They prayed at every meal, and early in the morning before we would go out garage saling and then again at night before we would get ready for bed. Sort of took me by surprise but loved it.....Thank you Jesus.
well guess i better get busy this morning and get out there in the cold and start digging...dont want those elephant ears to ruin. they cost too much to replace and the amount of them i have it surely does.
Heard from Lisa about her dad and his surgery....he had a little bit of a rough time but i think is comimg out of it now. he was in ICU for a day or two but is back on the reg floor ....they were hopping he might get to come home today i think.....
love and hugs.

Jan, that is wonderful that your daughter is doing so well as well as her BF. I've never been one to go to garage sales, figured I had enough junk of my own. Sounds like she knows what she's doing. I do go to thrift stores for clothing and find great deals. It doesn't matter if something is used. However, I would never buy undies at the thrift store.
I started out with a jacket but took it off. It's supposed to get to 73 today. Sure wi**** would rain.
Max is picking Greg up today and he will stay until Wednesday. He has an appointment with his attorney Wednesday morning. He and Max have a great time together. They both love sports so there's a lot of sports talk going on. I still hold my breath everytime he calls. There's still that fear he will drink again. I thought he had been given the ok to have the breathalyzer put in his car, but the letter he got said he would have to have it once the year was up for another year. Hopefully, he can get it put on now so he can get a job.
I ordered Bariactric vitamins because I didn't know if the Puritan brand was good for me. I had sent the info to the dietician and she took several weeks to get back with me. She said they're fine but I need to take 2/day. Anyway, Bariactric Advantage sent me a huge jug of calcium instead of the vitamins. They said keep them and they sent me the vitamins. The calcium is in lozenge form and they are just horrid. I was hoping I could use them. Although they were free I hate to throw them away. I'm going to put them in with a shake.
Better get busy.

Jo i know what you mean about everytime they call and holding your breath....especially if it is later than normal when most people call. but after staying with her for 4 days i know that she is up at all times during the night. but it is no wonder her boyfriend snores and talks all night lots of nights. I told her it was no wonder that she doesnt sleep...lol
I think the difference in cost lets me take two of the vits a day and still be cheaper than most others i have seen.....besides if you order two bottles you usually always get 3 free so that makes them lots cheaper. lol
like your idea to try and get the calcium into a shake let me know if it works ok?
will keep praying for your son and keep my Michele in your prayers too ok....

Today is TWO YEARS for me. What a difference it has made in my life. I defiantly am not the same person and never will be again. Best thing I ever did.
Glad to hear our newbies are ok now. Sorry to hear they had some trouble.
I am still thinking about a face lift but haven't done anything about it yet. I guess I am a little gun shy but I am still wanting one. Maybe I will call tomorrow.
Enjoyed the great weather today ,hope it lasts but I will not expect it to. Farmers almanac says snow around the 20th. Humm.......

Hi, Mama Jan & MO Peeps!
I substitute taught a 7th grade Social Studies Class today and truly enjoyed it! I LOVE Social Studies and History and I ALWAYS learn something! Suzie - I've never had any problems with using my cell phone (the few times I've had to) while subbing. I think one kid in 6th grade said something about it to me and I said it wasn't something for him to be concerned about. When I left a note for the teacher I told her about the conversation. She told me the students know that teachers have the right to use the phone if they need to! My thoughts EXACTLY! Sorry to hear the principal gave you a hard time. I'm not sure how I would have handled that one...probably would have told him not to bother calling me again to substitute. Not sure though.
Tonight we're having chicken grillers wrapped in bacon and stuffed with spinach and ricotta and Parmesan cheese. They're from HyVee and they are our favorite! They were on sale this week. It's so nice just to pop them into the oven for 30 minutes and they're done!
I've really enjoyed the extra hour we got this past weekend. I love falling back but I LOATHE when we lose an hour in the Spring! lol!
Mama Jan - Arkansas is truly beautiful in the fall! Where does Michelle live? How far is it from Mountain Home? I'm so glad she and her bf are doing so well. God is soooo faithful! I know you've worried about her for so long. Will keep her and you in my prayers.
Jo - Glad to hear that your son, Greg and your husband, Max have such a good relationship. What a blessing your husband has been to your son!! Will continue to pray for son and family as well.
Suze - If you have a face lift will you back to the KU residency program? Just wondering. Sorry to hear about your problems with subbing. For the most part, I enjoy subbing. Wouldn't want to nor could I do it 5 days a week day in and day out!
Jeannie Ray - I'm so proud of you! You are doing GREAT! I read a couple days ago that you were in the KC area. Wish you would have called....might have been able to contact a others from the KC are and gotten together. It's always so nice to meet each other in person. The next time you're in town, please pm me and let me know!
I know MO Board is not as lively as it once was...but we can breathe life back into it! I'm guilty for always reading the posts but rarely posting. Life gets in the way. But we all still with struggles...even those who are years out. We still need support from others and not just for the rny issues.
Gotta scoot. DH should be home any minute and Jake is STARVING! lol!
Hope you all have a GREAT evening!

Debbie Do :::: Michele lives in Clarksville....between little rock and Russelville on that highway. is a beautiful town on the Arkansas River. I really like it there.
Those Chicken Grillers sound wonderful ...are they in the frozen food section.
I hope we can all work together to get the Mo board back to where it was ....When i first started the Whats happening post there were hardly anyone on the board and by person to person to person it got built up but seems in the last year it has really dropped and i know part of it is me ...I havent always been able to get on and get the post done....but will try to be better again.
