Another Birthday...

At our house last summer

(his brother survived that hug...ha)

Hello all,

Happy Birthday to 'S'.

Our oldest grandson turns 6 today.

On a sad note, one of my oldest friends lost her Father Wednesday night, please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Seems like so many have sadness in their lives lately.

Take care,

Sheila

Lightning....

(not taken by me, I got it off the Internet)

Hello,

Thanks to everyone who left such nice comments for my Dad.

Nothing much going on here. The girls and I had our six month check-up at the dentist Tuesday, all is well.

When we lived in Kansas we used to get some pretty lightning storms, (if you can call lightning that). It seemed to run sideways. We did get ones that struck the ground, but when it was just in the sky it was nice to watch. I haven't noticed anything like that here. It all seems to run to the ground.

Enjoy the weekend,

Sheila

Phew, what a day...

all bandaged up...

Hi Everyone,

I took Hubby's truck to the window doctor today and got it all healed up.

But it took two trips...

It started like this...

We had one company that was supposed to come to the house and fix it...

but it was raining this morning and our garage is full of stuff so there is no room to pull it in there to be fixed...so they say since it's supposed to rain the rest of the week it will be Monday before they can come...not...

I said never mind I would get someone else. So I called another company that was closer to us, they could get the glass by lunch and I could bring the truck at 1pm. So I go, 30 minutes later they say, 'they sent the wrong glass'...they can have the right glass there by 3pm. Ok, I'll come back after I pick up daughter at school and take her home. They put plastic over the window, and it is plastic that I can see through, very different from the black garbage bag I put over it...ha... and they sent me on my way.

I went back after bringing daughter home from school and in a short while they had it in and ready to go...

I saw our next door neighbor's mother outside later and told her about the break-in, she parks her car outside the garage too. Hubby's going to talk to the homeowners association president about putting a street light in front of our house. They have them everywhere else but us being the last house at the end of the street it's dark at our end. We've had our cast iron mailbox knocked over twice, broke it the first time, but was able to get it fixed. Second time just bent it over at the base and we were able to straighten it.

A sad note, my in-law's friend passed away, she had a second stroke in rehab, then contracted MSRA staph infection. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.

Enjoy your Thursday,

Sheila

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Hello All,

Thanks to Lucy for the Kreativ award. I'm not sure I live up to it yet, but hopefully I'll get better.

Let me go back a few days to Thursday. Hubby was out looking at something inside an airplane, just before he left for the day, and the floorboards were not secured properly. Needless to say he fell through. Luckily he was not injured other than a scraped knee. He got grease on his slacks and a tear in his jacket. Lines and cables kept him from falling further.

Then there was early this morning, around 4:35 am, someone broke the rear side window of his truck, stealing his golf clubs out of the backseat. He ran outside when the alarm went off so he saw the car and at least three guys. Called the police, hope they catch them, but more than likely they will not. But at least no one was hurt, things can be replaced.

Just another bump in the road of life,
Take care,
Sheila

Happy St. Patrick's Day...

Not much going on this morning. C has a fun Orthodontist appointment later today.

Hope everyone has a great day,

Sheila

Fans, steaks and Miss M...

Good Evening,

I hope everyone has had a good day. We got the ceiling fan replaced yesterday in my daughter J's room. It was such a pain...I kept the light kit from the old one because we put them on a while after we moved in here...just in case we ever need it.

We did get to grill our steaks, it was raining a little but not to bad. Hubby and I ate leftovers today, J got Arby's and C ate canned pasta. It rained off and on again today too but I think it will be clear tomorrow.

I'll leave you with a picture of my youngest niece...Miss M, she lives in Georgia.

Have a great day,

Sheila
