Sunday

Wow...11 days since I've written. Not much going on. Just the usual do the laundry, mow the lawn,make supper, do the dishes. Tomatoes have started ripening. Been pretty boring really. Doing alot of internet searching. Oh a funny thing did happen Thursday. Webster Village Band and Jen went with him. When it started getting dark I lit one of my oil lamps. I'm walking around the house carrying it and I go in the bathroom to brush my teeth. It really lit the bathroom up and I'm thinking this is cool. I decided to get my pj's on so I walk into the bedroom all proud of myself,walk around the end of the light and poof the light goes out..I'm standing there all perplexed till I realized the bedroom ceiling fan was running and I'd just walked under it. Note to self..fans blow out oil lamps..LOL I started laughing right out loud. So that's it..

Wednesday

I'm at the library....yes I know I have high speed wi-fi at home but there's just something about sitting here at the library. Sunday night after church we went out for ice cream with some of the people from church..It was fun sitting around , eating ice cream and talking. Monday Nicole stopped over and we dropped her car off at Firestone to get it inspected. When it was done we went and picked it up and went to lunch at Monte Alban in Webster. Tuesday Hubby came home early coz he didn't feel good. He's got some summer cold thing going on. Today I decided to walk to the library and catch up on my magazine reading. Then I came over to the Cafe to eat my lunch and check out some stuff on the internet. Thinking I probably should think about heading home..I think its going to be pulled pork sandwiches and french fries tonight. On garden news...a few of my carrots are popping through and a lot of my light pink beans have sprouted..Yippeee

Satuday

I really don't have anything to say...I just feel like writing. Today we went grocery shoppiig..woo hoo. Ken has had a migrain head ache for the past 2 days..He says its not as bad as yesterday but he's still not moving to fast. I really have nothng else to do today. So I'm just sitting here on the internet..playing games and occasionally checking my e-mail and facebook. Off to see if I can find some interesting blogs to read.

Friday

Planted my light pink beans yesterday..didn't do a whole lot more then that . This morning we went out to breakfast and then I did laundry and mowed the lawn. Its supposed to be hot Monday and the last thing I want to do is walk around the yard behind the lawn mower. Jen leaves for camp Monday so I may walk down to the library and spend the day reading magazines. I haven't driven my van since last Sunday. I just realized that today. Still haven't gotten the stove fixed but haven't really needed it.

Thursday

I ended up going out and pulling my onions and putting them on a screen to dry. In their place I think I'm going to try planting light pink beans. They look like kidney beans but they're smaller. I know its a little late to plant them but its a small bed that can be covered in plastic so I'm going to go ahead and throw them in. That will be done today as they've been soaking for almost 24 hours to soften them. Jen and I ended up walking to Goodwill...I got her 2 pairs of leggings,Ken a new pair of swim trunks which he likes to wear around the house and a new pair of sunglasses for me because the lens' keep popping out of my other pair. Then we stopped at 5 Guys Burger and Fries for lunch. Yes my original evalutation still holds..Nothing to write home about. For alittle more I could go to Bill Gray's and get a slop burger ( You can't eat them without getting messy) fries, and coldslaw. Didn't do much after that. My homegrown lettuce is almost all gone. I think today will be the end of it. Garden is doing great..I'll post some pics

Wednesday

Yesterday was kind of a lazy day..Jen and I walked down to the library to return a book I've been renewing for weeks and still haven't read..Stopped at Time Warner and paid the cable bill then walked to Khols so Jen could get a pair of earrings to match a new outfit she got in Tennessee..other then that we didn't do much all day. I put my toaster oven out in the garage and threw in a meatloaf and some potatoes to bake...cooked a meal...didn't heat up the house. Fried up 2 zucchini and an onion in the electric fry pan. What a fantastic supper we had. Did dishes and relaxed the rest of the night. Today I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Probably check out the garden..with the zucchini producing now I need to check it more often and read a little..I need to figure out what I'm going to have for supper. Maybe burgers on the grill, tossed salad and grill fried potates. I only have 2 left so I'll slice and wrap them in tinfoil with butter and salt and pepper. Off to face the day

Back from the land 0f the lost

Things were really busy when the kids were here..Ok..last Wednesday...Colin woke up crying saying his head hurt and he had a fever so I gave him some tylenol and took him in my room where the ceiling fan was running...He fell asleep and so did I. When we got up later he as feeling better so I took them to VBS. He still wasn't feeling good after and it was raining so we just came home and had a down day. Jen stayed home with the boys and the rest of us went to church. Thursday everybody was well again so after VBS we did our last trail. Friday Ken was home so after I dropped the kids off at church I came home and he and I did the grocery shopping. Friday was the last day of VBS so they had pony rides. The kids loved it. Dropped Ken off and we went to get our gift cards and t-shirts for walking the trails.

T-shirts

Got to be supper time so I decided to make pizza rolls..turn on the oven, turn and walk away and here a popping sound. Went back into the kitchen trying to figure out what it was. Sounded kind of like a lid popping off a plastic bottle. Don't see anything then realize the lights are off on the stove..OH NO!!! Ken goes down and resets the breaker but there's something wrong with the oven and though the burners work it constantly beeps because of the oven being out of commission. Oh great. 5:00 and we have to be to church at 7:00..run to K-mart buy a larger size toaster oven..So its been interesting figuring out ways to cook things without a range...we're doing good though...,rice cooker, large electric skillet, liddle griddle, microwave. We're going to have a guy at church look at it. Saturday we went to Seabreeze...7 hours of Seabreeze.

Train ride

Sunday I took the kids home...its very quiet around here. I miss them. Monday was laundry and lawn mowing. Jen vaccumed for me and then we spent a couple of hours playing Skip-bo. Made supper, did dishes and then relaxed the rest of the day.
