Pictures meant for Veteran's Day...

Hello Everyone,


I was going to post these pictures on Veteran's Day, but Hubby had taken the pictures of him to work a while back and I had to wait for him to bring them home.

This is my Dad in the Army in the 50's.

These are pics of my Hubby in Vietnam
(that's him on the right...ha)



Thanks again to them for their service!!

We are all well here. 'C' had an Orthodontist appointment on Tuesday, she is close to getting her braces removed.

I think I am ready to start decorating for Christmas, in the house at least. I need to stop watching QVC and their Christmas decorations...ha.

Lucy, I enjoyed talking to you on your birthday. I hope you are getting all that cake eaten and using all your great gifts.

Take care,

Sheila

Happy Veterans Day...

Thank you to all who have served, or are serving, this country in the military...and to their families also.

May God bless you all!!!

She came and she went...

Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we came through 'Ida' fine. There was some power outages in the southern part of the county and some roads flooded, but as far as I've heard it wasn't too bad. They were saying it would hit land around midnight but it came in at Dauphin Island around 5:40 am this morning, then back in the water and came back on in Bon Secour about 7:00 am. Hubby was driving to work at 5:40 and he said it wasn't any worse than a regular rain storm.

Thanks for thinking of us and keeping us in your prayers.

Glasses, internet and storms...

Hello All,

Let's see, what happened last week...'C', whose contacts have been bothering her lately, has been wearing her glasses more often. Well Tuesday she got in the car and start feeling around for her glasses. She had put them in her jacket pocket and they weren't there. We hoped her friend might have picked them up... she didn't. I told her to check in the office to see if anyone turned them in...she kept forgetting so I called on Friday morning and they had them...thank goodness. They were stretched out, like someone tried to put them on, but I fixed them back. I'll go by one day and let the vision place adjust them a little better. I had just replaced a lens that she lost a couple of weeks ago...but all in all, she has been wearing glasses since she was four and has only had to replace one pair because of damage (in Texas)...and I think they were covered by a warranty.

Then our Internet was out all day Wednesday and part of Thursday...I cursed that blasted cable company again....but it wasn't their fault....our wireless router had went bad....ha. I don't care, I'm still gonna blame them...ha.

So now, we are waiting for 'Ida', the school is closing two hours early and will be closed tomorrow and they were already going to be out Wednesday. Hopefully it won't be too bad...

Have a great day,
Sheila

We survived the trick or treaters...

Halloween is over so it's time to move on to Thanksgiving. We had a good amount of trick or treaters, but they seemed to come in bunches. We had a buzz lightyear, princesses, dracula, power ranger and others. We also had a group of girls dressed as football players and boys as the cheerleaders, complete with rouge on their cheeks, the boys not the girls...ha.

But it's over now and we have too much candy left over...but we always buy too much...you would think we do that on purpose...ha. I didn't scare any one but 'J's friends who came by, the others were to young. We had some little strobe lights around the door that were sound and motion activated and they made scary sounds, so that was enough for the younger ones.

'C' went to her friends Friday night to make funnel cakes, they didn't turn out well so she wanted us to get a recipe and try them. So Saturday we found a recipe online, I bought a funnel cake kit years ago so I had the container to pour the batter from. They turned out pretty good. We put powdered sugar on them, but I think next time I'm going to put strawberry on mine, kind of like strawberry shortcake.

'C' went to another friends birthday party on Saturday night and when 'J' and I went to pick her up, 'J' wore my 'michael myers'(spelling?) mask (from the movie 'Halloween') while I drove. She had a good time seeing peoples reactions...ha.

Sunday we fixed a pot of chili, and we have left overs in the fridge.

I hope everyone has a great week,

Sheila
