Wednesday...movie day

Morning all who read...I DID manage to get the lawn done yesterday, even though it was wet, and kept clogging up my mower. Good thing to, as it rained last night a little, and more expected tonight thru thurs. I don't have a lot of hopes for my veg garden this year. Wet feet are not good for plants...
Today, I'm taking Marissa out for lunch at El mescal, and a movie. We,ll probably see Iron man. Hearing good things about that movie....Christy will be home tomorrow some time...Yay!!!!!Then after that it will be Roos turn to go to Washington DC. with a bunch from her school. Sure worry about them all flying, but that's MY issue...
Guess I'm going to have to stay home more for awhile. Gas prices are getting ridiculous. Its not plausible to just run just to get out of the house. Ive heard that Michigan has been over 4.00 for quite awhile. It sure eats up your money fast when pumping. Groceries are becoming a luxury now too for some. Wheres it all going? I don't know, but I'm glad Ive been stocking up for awhile...
Well, I guess its time to leave you fine people. Have a great day and enjoy the moment. We don't know how many we get....bye for now...

Sun shining Monday

The weekend is over and Ryan's party was a success even thought he weather was volatile all day. Off and on thunder storms didn't spoil anything. I had a wonderful time with the girls and Jackson. I miss them all very much. Christy's on her way, as we speak, to Washington, Dc. Business trip till Thurs. Just so she carries her angel pin at all times...I made bread today and did a ton of dishes and laundry. Went outside but the mosquitoes are horrid. I have to mow tomorrow no matter what. The grass is long and wet but it will get done....Okay, I'm very tired so I'm outta here for tonight... Have a good one any and all....

TGIF

Raining this morning, but the severe stuff didn't make it here. Di and meg left for Minn. to catch their flight yesterday, so I hope they got off okay. Tomorrow doesn't sound that great, but I'm hoping that it turns out better then they say. Come on, for pete's sake! This is June not April....Laurie, and her family will be coming up after they get off work today. Shan and Jack are staying here...yay!!!!! I have to make the brownies today, and maybe get the salad started too...All my other work is basically done, believe it!
I'm looking outside, and it appears that nothing was disturbed by robbers of the animal kind last night. I used heavy wire to make things more secure..Weren't they surprised to find that they couldn't steal stuff...hahahaha. I didn't have to get out the gun after all, much to Shans delight....

" A raccoon snuck into my yard,
Had thievery on his mind,
Trouble is his middle name,
He must think I'm blind,

He'll have to try it somewhere else
here he wont succeed,
I made secure, all of the food,
I want none of his greed,

Goodbye you fiend, Do not return,
Go upon your way,
Maybe now with any luck,
You'll live another day......

Obama is the democratic pick so The fun will start now. We thought the primaries were bad.....whoosh!!!!A person has to keep up on things but it sure gets old fast...All the back biting and false statements abounding...Oh well, such is politics in this here land of the free...hahahaha...
I worked hard again today, cleaning and organizing...Ive got bread baking as we speak, and it smells heavenly.. tomorrow if its not raining Ill go out and mow a bit more. Onions are up in the garden and everything is doing okay so far...Irv's home and his sense of humor left me flat...guess I'm just tired. I miss my smileys...Wahhhhh. Thursday morning and its raining...so much for mowing...Ill get the spare room ready for Shanna and Jack today. I fixed up a play area in the dining room for him..I sure am excited about seeing them.
I believe there's a visitor to my yard at night after I'm in bed. Yesterday the single suet feeder was gone missing. I mean completely gone! Now today I see the new waterer and bird bath is on the ground...Maybe a raccoon? If he shows up during light hours he,ll be dispatched to Raccoon heaven via my trusty 22...Hey! Don't yell at me! They need to leave my stuff alone...Have a great day in spite of the rain....

This is June???

Sure doesnt feel like it to me. 55 this am and cloudy. Every day they talk about thunderstorms. We dont always get them but the talk annoys me. Feels more like april. I have tons to do again today so Ill add more here later....

Tuesday

Okay, I'm going to town to buy Irv some bib overalls.....Yah, you heard me right. He loved the carhearts I bought him and is STILL wearing them out to do chores...I asked him this, " Aren't they just a smidge hot?" He answered, " NO, no there just fine." Which means to me that he doesnt want to give them up! So, I'm off to get him some lighter weight ones for summer...I am going to tell him before he puts them on, that no way is he EVER to leave the property with them on. Well, he'll change to other jeans, you naughty people.....Later then, have a great day now....

Monday

The weekend went good. Irv and I and Irvie golfed on saturday, 9 holes. Yesterday, I mowed some, and did some laundry. Irv and I went golfing again at Tri city. I did better on the fairway, and teeing off, but not so hot on the green. Had a better score though, so there was some improvement. Poor Irv is still struggling with his slice. I am sure the Parkinsons has something to do with his problem. I hope he doesnt give it up.
Today I have to get out and plant the rest of the garden and mow lawn. Their talking chances of rain all week. No rain on saturday!!!!!!No, No, NO!!!!!!Theres something amiss here on this blog....cant use emotions....hmmmmmmmmm.....Later then...
