Marilyn, for us this is the time for canning tomatoes.......from now until frost. Dae Lynn's made some salsa and some homemade Rotel for cheese dip. We have jalapenos to go in it as well. I was thinking that I'd just can some tomatoes for chili and soups. That's pretty easy.
Sandy, It's good to see that you're busy and taking care of yourself!!! I would love to get my nails done but I'm afraid that it wouldn't last one day but what I'd have the polish half off!!! I can barely keep my toes painted!!!! LOL
Gayle, I'm so excited to see your kitchen!!! I loved picking out tile and flooring when we built!!! And then to actually see it all coming together was the exciting part!! The tile styles have changed since we built so I'd have done some things differently but still I'm pretty happy with my choices. They're pretty basic but nice.
I'm sure that Gary is excited to even be looking for a hunting lease!! It will give him something to look forward to. I'm married to a hunter so I understand the desire to do it. I hope that Gary finds just the right spot!!!!
Janet, I so hope that your Mom continues to improve from the stroke. I know that all of this is so hard on you. You are a good daughter!!! Remember how fustrated you used to be with your Mom? Things have certainly changed and you two are so much closer now. I know that your Mom appreciates all that you do for her.
Last night Jaci called and invited Glen and I over for supper. I was soooo ready to get out of the house and away from the kids!! Jaci called and fixed something that I could eat on my diet.....tacos without the shell!!! The kids have been so good about helping me with my diet!! After supper we visited a while then we played cards. They both love to play cards with us!! We were there until 12:30!!! They very seldom invite Nate's parents over but have us over quite often. I think that Nate enjoys talking to Glen!!!
I'm going to have to come up with some things to do that gets me out of the house otherwise I'll probably spend all of my time taking care of the kids or trying to keep things picked up!!!
It ends up that Damon isn't leaving until Sunday. He found out yesterday that his plans to go to Teen Challenge in Missouri won't work because it's out of state and takes a lot of paperwork to do. So the plan now is that he's going to Kansas City which will be a lot closer for Dae Lynn to go and visit. We'll know more today after he talks to his probation officer, lawyer, and.....hmmmm......one other person.
Next week everything should be getting into a "normal" mode. School starts on Wednesday and Dae Lynn and Karlie will be leaving early for that. Damon will be at Teen Challenge and I'll just have Dean at home.......however.......he's a handful to keep up with!!!!......but he's so darn cute!!!!
