Picked a peck of pickled peppers...

I am enjoying this cooler weather we have been having. We had a couple of days of rain, no complaining, we needed it. Little Rylie (dog) is almost as good as new. Everything has healed, her hair that was shaved has to catch up with the rest though. She had an open wound on her side just behind her front leg that took the longest to heal. It was heart shaped. She did lose a front tooth in the battle and she snores a little more now. Her bark is still a little different too.

Hubby is still in pain, he is going to the chiropractor. He has a slipped disk in that area. He has meds from the doctor. I didn't mention it before but our regular doctor passed away on Memorial day. He had just turned 50 on May 4th. Had a heart attack while out riding his bike...we could hardly believe it. Hubby had been to him when he first had problems with his upper back/shoulder, so I called the office yesterday about some meds and the other doctor called him in some. 

On another note, before we went to Alabama in August, I picked the cayenne and jalapeno peppers and put up a can of each in jars. After I got back home I picked the cayenne and a couple that were left on the jalapeno and bought some more jalapeno (that may be hotter than mine were) and put up three more jars. The cayenne has a couple of whole and a couple of sliced (lengthwise) jalapeno in it. Then I have a jar of whole jalapenos and a jar of sliced (lengthwise again) jalapeno. I've been eating on the first jar I put up, had some just yesterday and probably will have some today.

Charlie (other dog) is barking in his sleep...ha. I'll go for now, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Take care,
Sheila

Birthday, bathtub and backs...

This little girl celebrated her 23 birthday on 

Saturday, Sept. 14th.

Happy Birthday!!

She wanted cheesecake too, say we decided

to get a round cake this time. We got the chocolate

whipped topping on a chocolate cake. It was good!

We have prettier place mats for the table but these are the ones we eat off of...ha.

 They wipe clean easier...

 I guess the excitement of the week was Sunday. Cori had taken a shower upstairs and she couldn't get the shower doors to open but about a foot for her to get out. She did get out and called down for us to fix them. When we moved the door slightly to try to see if one was off the track the other door shattered and broke. Thankfully it was tempered glass and most of it fell into the tub. Let me tell you that is a lot of glass to get up. I'm glad it didn't break while she was in the shower trying to get out. All is well, we got it cleaned up and put a shower curtain up with a liner. I just don't feel comfortable right now putting glass doors back in. 

Hubby is home early today. His upper back on his left side has been hurting him all week. He wanted me to make an appointment with a chiropractor to see if that would help. His first time ever trying a chiropractor. I hope it helps.

I put out my few fall decorations in the house yesterday. Changed my candle to the Autumn wood-wick and lit it for a little while. Guess I need to get a pumpkin or two for the porch.

And last but not least I have made it into the 21st century...somewhat anyway. I finally got  smartphone yesterday, an iPhone 5. Now I have to send out my new number, I was still using the one from Alabama. Jarin kept her old number but Cori and I have new numbers.

Hope everyone has a great weekend,

Sheila

Home again...and it's raining...

The girls and I made it back home from Alabama yesterday. We didn't run into any traffic delays, thank goodness. I was only able to see part of the last quarter of the Alabama and VA Tech game... :(  but I did find them on satellite radio so I could at least hear it as we drove home.

We have had a stormy day today. We had one big boom of lightning and Hubby and I went outside on the screened porch to look. We noticed the white lights we have going around the top of the porch have a lot out. They were all working last night.

Sierra and her Granddaddy at the beach.

Wishing everyone a great Labor Day!
