My day started out with a black out. Woke up this morning with no electricity. No coffee, no tea, no shower, ugghhh. According to the news a squirrel decided to get warm and snuggle into a transformer box. Well, said squirrel is now charcoal and transformer box went boom. Since misery loves company, said transformer box also took out it's side ( Read more... )

The last of 2003 is passing by. I just wanted to wish everyone a safe, prosperous, and joyful new year. Toodles, Bogomils!

First things First, I was suppose to work today but we have freezing rain on the horizon. I work through the woods, over the mountains and near the lake (to grandmother's house we go) and driving there can be dangerous during bad weather. I must get my other Volvo on the road before my inspection sticker runs out. I have been procrastinating on ( Read more... )

My grandmother called me this morning in a near panic. Her stove decided to blow up. Change that, instead let's say her stove decided to blow up her pan and die. My grandmother desired french toast for breakfast this morning. After putting her bread in the hot pan she went to put something away in the bathroom. Upon returning her stove gave a ( Read more... )

Today is Christmas and we spent the day lounging around the house in our pajamas! We went no where, ate leftovers and played all day. This was the sweetest of days. Thank the Gods above for the blessings that I received.

Oh yeah, two siplait for baking and a dutch oven! I scored big time!

My mother just arrived with toy air guns for the young men in the family to beat each other up with. The fun has started ( Read more... )

Last night I spent the night wrapping gifts. The hours danced by so quickly I didn't realize how much work had to get done and not enough time to finish it. I have to make a new stocking for my nephew. His baby "Precious Moments" has to go. (Actually shot with a thousand bullets....Hey, N4sir, got a job for you!) I can't believe I am throwing ( Read more... )

Grandfather is still in the Nursing Home/Hospital. Fractured pelvis in two places. He is afraid of everything now due to his small tumble. He has decided to meet Death from bed. My Grandmother is running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off trying to tend to my Grandfather's every need. I believe she is doing this out of fear of ( Read more... )

Last night the Husband and I went to visit my grandfather in the nursing home, he is out of the hospital. He is under rehabilitation for the fractured pelvis (2 different places). We picked up some lottery tickets and he was tickled pink. He won a dollar but in his eyes that was a good thing. At one point of the visit he asked me an odd question ( Read more... )
