I had lunch today with my daughter Allison who now lives thirty minutes from me. Her husband is at Fort Knox in school. I hope he doesn't get sent to Iraq. How awful that would be.

I got up at seven this morning and went to Lowes. I bought aggregate sealer and deck stain and grass seed. It's only 101 degrees outside. Maybe I really am insane. I came home and made breakfast. Daniel wanted to go out, but I didn't feel like it. David and I are now heading to Best Buy to exchange a remote control. It works on a different ( Read more... )

I got up early this morning and the temperature was already eighty degrees. I went through some boxes in the garage and organized some old things. I don't know why, but when I see things and hear dates, I always think of them in relationship to something. Sometimes it's annoying to me. For example (an exaggerated one) I'll see May 3,1984 and I ( Read more... )

Today is the day of my son's birth. Thinking about the boy he was makes me feel a little sentimental. Thinking about the man he's become makes me feel more than a little proud. I can't believe he's twenty years old today. It seems like yesterday I was holding my little red haired boy... I have to stop thinking because I cry ( Read more... )

After painting and trimming for nine hours my husband must have felt guilty (he has the week off) and offered to help. There was one wall left and I welcomed the help. I'd already cut in the ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning with a migraine. I haven't had one on two months. I'm not taking the migraine medication (Imitrex) because it makes me feel heavy and weak. I'm trying 800 mg of Advil. Yesterday David and I burned two of the Pine trees the Mexicans cut down. Today I sampled colors for the downstairs bedroom. I'm painting it kind of a sage ( Read more... )

I'm getting old. I planted five hydrangeas, fifteen mums, four chrysanthemums, and five cone flowers. All perennials. My back is killing me and I'm chewed alive by mosquitoes. I shouldn't have skipped church and gone shopping. Mmmmmm ( Read more... )

Yesterday and this morning I've been busy planting lilies and thinning Irises. I planted three Crape Myrtles and seven Landscape Rose bushes.I cut out several areas for plantings and tried to install a lamp post to no avail. There was no power coming from the underground wires so I had Ern change the switch, but that didn't work. I guess I'll have ( Read more... )

I'm in Kentucky looking for houses to no avail. The county I want to live in is about thirty percent more than PTC and most houses that are older like mine was are pretty run down. It's amazing to me is that people can live in houses for years and update nothing. I think the realtor is getting sick of me. He made a comment yesterday about me being ( Read more... )
