Its snowing!!!!!

This is the first real snow we've had this year. I'm cozied in, so I really don't mind it at all. The ground is white, and making me feel Christmasy....Is that a word? Christmasy? Nate got a 8 point buck and brought it over to show it off. I of course, took his picture with it. He liked that very much.....The season ends today at dusk, and other than Irv going back to work tomorrow, Im glad its over. I will miss Irv though....
Ok soooooooo, Him and I are throwing out the sweets and going to try to lay off of them once again. I think when a few days have gone by the cravings will go away....At least thats what Im hoping, Sorta like quitting smoking. Its been 4 years now for me. Now, if I can get this sweet habit taken care of, and eventually, just eat them occasionally.....like normal folks, then I will be a happy camper.... I DO not want to be an old fat lady!!!!! What do you mean, too late???????? It not over till the slender lady sings.. Ya all have a great day now...Late ta...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

To all you wonderful people that peruse this Blog on occasion....I dont seem to be in the mood today, but I,m sure things will perk up as I get going along. Hosting the dinner can be a lot of work and somewhat stressful, but I am so thankful for my beautiful family. When they are all seated at the table enjoying the repast, It is all worthwhile....I hope your day is full of love and good food and that you have much to be thankful for...

Thanksgiving

Well its almost here and the preparations begin. I shopped for the goodys yesterday, a whopping 200 and some bucks. The baking items are costly, and hopefully will get me through Christmas too. We bought a 20 pound turkey and a half ham. Believe it or not, some people dont care for turkey all that much! Im making two pumpkin pies and one apple cranberry. Some chewy bars and cookies. It sounds like every family member from up here, will come. Thank God I bought this large table! I wish I had a dishwasher, besides myself. The dishes are the worst part of the meal. Some of the kids usually take on that job though..... Then will come our big family Christmas. More food and more dishes. More fun though, there will be gifts to open and games to play. Lots of happiness all the way around. Today Ill start doing my lists so everything is all planned out. I dont care for surprises..... I hope your Thanksgiving is full of love and good food......and someone ELSE does your dishes!!!!! Late Ta.....

Hello????

Remember in my last post, I said I just liked having Irv here at home? Well............maybe that was a bit optomistic on my part.... Today after working all morning cleaning and baking...I felt the need for a quick power nap on my comfy couch. I do this on occasion if I havent slept good the night before... Well.......Irv was watching tv, a dundee movie and at times it got very loud.... When hes not here, I turn the tv way down for my nap. So I got back up and went back to my chores....Then again sleepy so I tried it again...No dice, just too darned loud....sooooooooo I decided to go into the bedroom for my nap. I no sooner lay down when I heard him turn off the tv and go outside.....Something about this does'nt sit right....Oh well, I fell asleep and had a nice nap after all. Maybe, just maybe, we will figure this all out when he retires. Or Ill have to learn to sleep better at night.....Wheres my nytol????????

Excuse me, may I interrupt your day?

I'm sitting here making lists and wondering when I started doing that? I never used to make lists. I didnt feel the need to see my chores on paper like orders from above...Here they are, all lined up, arranged in order of importance. Seems like the list gets longer every day. What happened to just doing whatever I felt like? Going haphazzardly from one thing to another? Ill tell you what....nothing ever got done! Laurie and Jeff and Jack will be here friday and that means a clean spare room. Sheets washed and pillows fluffed. The frig cleaned of all that green fuzzy stuff that no one seems to recognize.... Food shopped for and meals planned. Then Shanna and josh will arrive at christys house around 11 that same night. The girl commutes to work in Chicago and gets home late... Chris has opted to have the big meal and gathering on sat.. so I can go over and just play with my precious great grandson Jack.
He said he wants to come up here and hug and kiss nana, [me] Hes 2 and a half....

Deer season starts sat. also. The guys [ irv and Irvie] will go out before dawn and sit all day waiting for that elusive big buck to be stupid enough to walk by. Oh its been known to happen, so maybe one of them will get lucky....or maybe again THIS year, the bucks will get lucky. I just kinda like having Irv home all week.....Ok, back to my lists. then maybe Ill start a chore eventually.. Thanks for letting me bend your ear for a few....Late Ta.....

Old? Or just a dolt?

You decide.....I was walking through the living room, one eye on the floor and one eye on the tv screen. All of a sudden... my foot mysteriously caught on the coffee table leg, and I felt myself falling. I KNEW I was falling into the heavy table, and THAT scared the hell out of me, so I turned my body and THEN......proceeded to hurl forward at an amazing speed for an older broad. While trying desparately to stop the fall and forward momentum, I must have looked liked a flailing cow.. Thank God, no one was behind me with a camera. I fell with a thud on my knees and lay there in extreme pain. When after a seemingly long time...I was able to limp out to the kitchen for ice moaning and groaning all the way....you know us Beaumonts......
Now your probably wondering , Where the hell is Irv during all this? He HAD called out to me while I lay writhing on the floor. He had gone to bed earlier. He asked if I needed help.... EXCUSE ME? HELP? I needed a hand up and a hug!!!! He did fnally get up and came out to ask again, but by then I was on the couch, and madder then hell... I said NO!!!!! GO AWAY! hahahahaha...big baby that I am....Come to find out, he never heard the fall at all. He,d been asleep at the wheel. He only heard my moans and groans and thought I had a leg cramp....I DO get those, and DO make noise....Oh well, all is forgivin and my knee is black and blue but not painful anymore, so guess Ill survive it all. Funny thing tho, I went to the store yesterday, and on the window was a sign that read...Are you afraid of falling? Classes at the firehouse, blah blah blah.......Yikes!!!!

Me bad...

While I've been away from here, its gone from summer to winter. Two weeks ago I was golfing in a short sleeved shirt. Today it is cold, windy, and spitting freezing sleet. Yuk! I took some time off to organize my life a bit. Did it work? Naw.....I'm still in a tizzy most of the time, but.......Obama won the election, we had lauries 47 th Birthday here at the house...Fun fun...Now its time to get ready for Thanksgiving and deer season. Irv gets the whole week off so thats kinda nice...Im reading a wonderful novel right now about an Amish family. The author has the ability to take me into the story so that I am right there with the characters...Now THATS a good author..Irv is due home soon and I'll be very glad as the roads might be getting slippery. Live in your moments folks Late ta....
