Sharon, Oh my gosh! I wonder if the caregiver went to jail! It just says they were fired!
Ruth, I e-mailed you!
What is everyone up to? We are only 8 pages to 1000! Let's get chatting!
I have been busy washing wool! I just got my order yesterday of 5 fleece so I will be busy for a while! One of them weighs 9+ pounds!

Ruth ~ While I'm totally tempted by some of your books, I really shouldn't right now. Trying to pack everything up and getting ready to move at basically a moment's notice (and keep the house clean/tidy!).... I should probably wait to get something heavy (and expensive) like books. *sigh*

Goodness girls, getting well seems to be the agenda for lots of us.
We are finally doing better here, but gosh has lots of cleaning and trying to rearrange before winter hits. Have one more outside chore that has to be done, then I can dig out the house before thansgiving gets here. Shoot time keeps flying by way to fast for this girl!!!!!
Sewing hasn't happened in so long I think I have forgotten how to do it.
Tomorrow is getting my flu shot, just trying to get them is crazy!!!!! Whack a doodle for sure.
So some day I shall see my beloved sewing machine....grin....later girls.....tea is calling......

I've posted a few pieces of my cloth jewelry at my blog and in the Marketplace....of course, it's usually like talking to yourself over there..hehe Maybe someone will leave me a comment....I just hate it when you see all these hits that mean someone has viewed it and don't take the time to leave a comment.
Oh well...I guess I just like to talk and think everyone else should too..LOL
Pop over to take a look!
Sharon, I'll be watching to see which apron is chosen. :0)
Monica, I do hope you are feeling better...
Carol Sue, I just left a comment at your blog...
Ruth, Thanks so much for visiting me..I love to see your sweet comments.
Have a great day,
Steph

Monica, I know what you mean about the dishes and laundry. Dh is working on the hot water heater, and is oh, so close to being done. He wanted me to wait to do the dishes when the hot water was a flowing. I had just done a pile of dishes. It seems like no sooner when dishes are washed, you turn around and there is another pile. Same with the laundry. I have to wait to do laundry because the water is turned off, while dh and sons work on the plumbing. When I was sick, dh did some dishes, but he didn't do that very often.

Can't speak for the other girls, but here it's been packing, sorting, doing storage unit/Goodwill/dump runs while cleaning things out, getting new carpet installed (and the guy was super nice, but I kinda want to smack his parents with a skillet - they named the poor guy Bullet).
Also packed up the three kids and drove 9 hours to visit hubby for the weekend, so it's been 5 of us, in a foreign-to-us city, in a little hotel room. With lots of driving around to get a hang for where some things are and poking around for houses and so on. Kids and I are driving back tomorrow if I can get enough sleep tonight.
Oh, and I'm officially 28 weeks along gestating the new sprout. That always adds a fun dimension to attempting to tie my shoes and waddling luggage back out to the car and that kind of thing.

Lanna, Oh my gosh sounds like you have been really busy! You are also very brave! I don't know if I would want to attempt to take my 3 on a 9 hour trip! I hope everything works out for you! After a point with all three of mine I went with slip on shoes!!! Oh do I remember those days!!

Oh, I usually do wear my poor, almost worn-out Nike sandals for most of my pregnancies/summers (and man, what I wouldn't give to find more pairs of these suckers!). Just doesn't work out so well when you're in the land of the wet. Longer growing season there, sure, but man, the drizzle/rain/wind this time of year.

Monica, our family had a nice time. My mother though was beside herself. They didn't serve a Thanksgiving meal on Thanksgiving. It is hard, but I am sure that they wanted to give the cooks some time off. My mother said that she had a greasy pork chop that was hard to even cut. I brought her some food, because she was very hungry. She doesn't like greasy food in the first place.
Anyways, Gals-there is a commercial with people walking around at night with tail lights on their backside. They said that there is a law in Kansas that states requiring pedestrians crossing the highways at night to wear tail lights. I had to check it out and it is true. Anyways, I found this website with silly laws. Sorry, this is Long.
