An ordinary Wednesday afternoon

Well....it's been awhile - I've just had so much to do that I haven't had a chance to write .  I did get my yard mowed - praise the Lord - now it no longer looks like an abandoned house - we live there!!  Abby no longer "disappears" in the grass when she goes out!  My neighbor had been mowing for me, but it know it was a chore and he wouldn't take any money.  When he stopped mowing I knew I had to take control of this and do it myself.  I bought a Craftsman mower from Sears, bought a gas can and reved up that motor and took off.  Problem was it hadn't been mowed at all in July and it was a tad high (and thick).  Had to "baby" the mower through it so it wouldn't die, but I made it.  I will NOT let it get that high again.  AND I think that Ryan will be able to mow it next time which will probably be next weekend.

My "baby boy" will be 23 years old this Friday (20th).  He has the entire weekend planned.  We will get a motel room (with a pool) and spend 2 nights in Pigeon Forge and will go see the Black Bear Jamboree on Friday night (his friend Kara is in that one) and we will see Louise Mandrell show on Saturday night (his friends Jill and Ashley are in that one).  Saturday day we will play miniature golf, have lunch at his favorite restaurant, and dinner at the Alabama Grill.  He has it all planned - all I have to do is drive...LOL.

We are also planning a trip down to Georgia to see my wonderful friend Helen, but we are not sure of the dates yet.  I can't wait to see her and her family.

Have a wonderful day and peace be to everyone who drops by my journal for a visit.

DYNASTY II - ATTACK OF THE KILLER SQUIRRELS - CHAPTER TWO

Well.....the squirrels have gone.  Don't know why...unless Squirrelo the Magnificant went home and told the others what happened to him/her.  The attic is quiet.  Millie and Abby are sleeping through the night....and so am I!!  Peace reigns above our heads.

Ryan had another dentist appointment today - and....well....the one tooth that was "bad" as actually "really really bad" and the dentist gave us some options:  pull it; do a root canal ($1,500) or do a "pulpectomy" and see how long that lasts.  Didn't want to pull it (yet), Don't have $1,500, so we opted for the "pulp" thingy.  He has a temporary filling in it now and we go back on Monday for the "permanent" (is there really such a word?) filling.  He also got a prescription for "pain pills just in case".  Hydrocodone - wow.  He has a pretty high tolerance for pain.  If he asks for one of those I'll know he is really hurting.  Hope he doesn't. 

Working another full weekend this week so no day off for me...again.  I did ask for Ryan's birthday weekend off and we are going to get a motel room in Pigeon Forge and go see Louise Mandrell (we have friends in that show) and go eat Saturday at Dixie Stampede..Yippy Ki Yi Yea Rah.

So ends Dynasty II - I wish the little firballs well - as long as they stay out of my house!

Peace be with all who reads this.  God loves you, and so do I.
