Playing the waiting game

First thank you for your comments & suggestions regarding Gavin.
The formula the G.I. doctor switched him to this weekend did not help while I had him Saturday & apparently that didn't change on Sunday.
So another phone call or three to let them know and the kids are still waiting for them to call back.

I will try to get the photos from Saturdays Hooking Class updated here tomorrow.
Today I had grand intentions of more cleaning *UGH* stripped the linens to wash and left at 11 am, after a half a dozen phone calls & conversations, running errands and took up 5 hours of the day. Returned home with the last few items I need to finish the pre-Thanksgiving prep in time for a quick photo shoot in the back yard of our neighbors & their pups....Bogie & Birdie.
It seems, according to Jan, we have the only evergreen tree in the area....lol

Now I have to finish up a few things & grade school papers.

Saturday Morning

As I was leaving the house this morning, before dawn, locking the front door I heard my name being called softly.
I looked around & thought maybe Sahara woke up & wanted to come with me...no....I hear it again as I turned to head down the driveway I saw my friend Dorenda on the street.
She was already out walking, seriously! So she walked with me down the street to take care of Bogie & Birdie, it was nice to have company and someone to chat with for a little while. She continued on her walk as I took care of the pups.



On the way back I was thinking of my other friend Leslie whose husband passed away yesterday of a heart attack at a young 55 years. We just never know when our time is up and when we will be called to Heaven or Hell. Praying that Leslie's husband Dale knew Christ as his personal Savior. Please keep her in your prayers this weekend.
Give your loved ones a hug & tell them you love them today!

Here is a photo of sunrise earlier this week

Exhausting Week

This weekend after the house gets cleaned up I hope to just relax and enjoy life.
There have been so many things going on that I don't know the last time I just sat in the quiet of the morning listening to the birds chirp.

In that same theme I want share a little pattern with you from my booklet.
Use it for stitching/hooking/punchneedle/painting or let your children color it...just enjoy.

Party is over time to clean up

This afternoon I reminded Bogie & Birdie they needed to clean up after the week of Partying.
Mom & Dad are due home early in the morning.....

So of course Bogie makes Birdie do the vacuuming






While he went outside to play catch






Now someone needs to clean my house....4 hrs of sleep & cleaning up the boards has run my energy level to ZERO
So this is going to be short & sweet! TODAY was a PERFECT Day ...if the world ended tonight I would be joyful that my last day was Chamber of Commerce PERFECT

Oh and the pipe is fixed....it seems the first repair held, the pipe below the one that had to be cut and repaired mysteriously had two spots that were leaking (very close to the locations where cuts were made in the first pipe) hmmmm....

WHY won't MEN listen to a WOMAN?

After hubby fixes the pipe he starts filling in the hole...I ask Did you test it first?
NO

Why not?

Because it needs to dry?

Okay then why are you filling in the hole?

I don't want someone to fall in it.

I am thinking yah...We get so much traffic through the side of the driveway from the neighbors front yard...

That was apparently the reason the first time that it got fixed all wonky, we didn't have the right stuff & it was getting dark, didn't want someone to fall in the hole. Then of course OUT OF SITE OUT OF MIIND.

Never mind the fact that we have a boat load of wood & plywood in the garage, of course none of them would have fit over that hole I am sure....

Then after letting Bogie & Birdie out this morning, feeding them breakfast, hauling out the ladder & getting Bogies ball out of the gutter.

I returned home & had Son #2 call and ask if he turned the water on? NOPE blah blah blah needed to dry.

Okay turn it on & water the plants in the front first.....so far so good hmmmm

turn on the drive side so the bush that had it's roots exposed yesterday gets watered back in...

In comes daughter #2 there is a weird noise out front...& it's flooding...

Sure enough leaking again....

Well this time I am NOT digging out the hole for him once is enough!

Off to my appointments....

Have a great day!
