Where does the time go?

I seem to spend all of my time reading other blogs than posting to mine and now a just bought something on a blog sale....  There are too many ways to spend money....  I seem to find all of them.

My 30 year class reunion is this weekend, I'm beginning to get excited.  Friday is the football game with tailgating - then a get together on the patio at Sundown.  Saturday night is a multi-year class reunion for 1980-1984.  The turnout was not as good as we expected, but it still will be fun.  Now to worry about what to wear!!!!

I have brown and black boots that I bought at My Girlfriend's Closet, plus a brown sweater & jeans to wear Friday night.  I hope it is cool enough for the sweater.  Saturday I have a cute top & black pants - I'm going to have to see if the black boots will work or go with black heels.  It should be fun!!!

Remember what Mom always said

I walked out of the house to go get donuts and remembered what Mom or Grandma has always said.  "Remember to wear clean underwear - you might have to go to the hospital".  After looking at what I was wearing I hoped I did not have to go to the hospital or even see anyone that I knew. I've never been one to wear slippers - just slip on the first shoes that I find in the morning.  (I'm the only one up - who cares what's on my feet.)  So I slipped on gold sandals, then came the underwear - it's clean - the first bra that I found was hot pink.  Then next I found short - Eskimo Joe's with paint on them, then for a top t-shirt that matched the shorts, I forgot that I was wearing a hot pink bra and this shirt is white.  Thank goodness I was not involved in a wreak or got a speeding Ticket, and that the donut shop that a drive thru window. 

I'm safe at home and Mollie and I enjoyed the donuts!!!!

I thought a picture was needed to "the Sunday morning donut run look", but I came to my senses and I am posting pictures of my new bird house.  Last year on vacation I bought a "See Rock City" bird house.  It was still in the box and it disappeared.  My loving husband replaced it this year.  So pictures of it instead!!! 

Red Shelves

Millie, Mollie, and me (well it should me I, but I like the 3M's) took a Saturday trip to the Rolling Hills Thrift Shop.  We walked in the door and the first thing we spotted were red, well kind of pinkish red, crown molding shelves.  Just one look and we had to have them.  I should have taken before and after pictures.  I bought 2 cans of deep red spray paint and the two new shelves and the 2 old ones.  They are ready to be hung on the wall!!!!

What a week and its only Tuesday

She looks health as a horse - looks are soooo deceiving....

Mollie woke up on Sunday "not feeling right".  While I was enjoying our evening worship service and the reception afterwards, she was at the ER.  I had left my cell phone at home - I was going to church - cell phones are not needed at church!  They had drawn blood and were set to do an ultra sound on her appendix by the time that I got there.  Everything pointed to her appendix, and the decision was mad to watch it and wait.  Soooo, we have been back daily to the doctor -  yesterday just blood work (no change) and today both blood work and another ultra sound.  They are still not 100% sure if its the appendix - it's not enlarged and her blood work is not elevated.  Maybe a virus.  She has a good appetite which is odd for an enlarged appendix.  It's the practice of medicine and they are getting lots of practice on Mollie. 

La Tech Game

It's Louisiana Tech's first home football game and way too hot to tailgate.  I've got to get motivated!!!I think I'll go find some shorts or something cooler to wear. 

Dale just left for BWI market in Chattanooga, TN.  I hope it cooler there.  He is supposed to get me a replacement "See Rock City" bird house for the one that I bought last year and it disappeared!!!!  This one will be put together and on the stand ASAP. 

The girls and I shopped at My Girlfriend's Closet consignment sale today.  Items that were priced in RED ink were half price.  We really racked up.  I got a red jean jacket, a regular jean jacket, jeans, black boots, brown boots, a white shirt to dip dye, and black pants.  Millie ended up with 2 jackets, several dresses, and some cute tops.  Mollie got a few tops, a sweater, jeans, and pants.  Everything we bought was about $100.00!!!!!

Mollie Moved Home

Too Much Stuff for just one room

It's September

OK....  I haven't blogged in a long time.  It's been a long hard summer.  Dale had back surgery in June - he took 2 weeks off for recovery.  He was about to go crazy sitting at the house with nothing he could do.  He was also worried about no work=no pay.  He is doing well now, it's hard keeping him from doing too much.  He is not supposed to lift over 30 pounds, but he is back feeding our steers and bush hogging, mowing, etc.

Mollie has going to the US Navy and is back home.  She was sent too soon after surgery.  We were scared that this might happen, but her recruiter said it would be OK.  Well, they almost charged her with fraudulent enlistment.  She had to write a statement of what happened and that she had informed the recruiter.  She only made it to the second day at Bootcamp.  She had to send 2 long weeks in a separation unit.  The second week that she was there, she was given the responsibilities of a unit and also ran errands all over base.  The hardest part was seeing her original division march by.  I really hope that she tried to go back in the Navy.  She will have to wait 1 year before she can try again.

Mollie has had one job interview, and a possible job if the first one fall though.  She is also looking at going to vo-tech or other classes online. 

Millie will begin her student teaching next week.  She was assigned a pre-school class at the Louisiana Tech Early Childhood Education Center.  She will graduate in November and begin looking for a job.  Maybe there will be something that comes up at mid-term.
