Stacey, so sorry to hear about Matthew's setbacks. He is still in my prayers. That's a nice looking house. You'll be able to do your vegetable garden and also flowers....such a nice big yard. The girls will have a ball playing out there. Yes, I'm trying to make a small craft area, but I'm doing it very slowly, lol. It' s gonna take me a couple months, I figure.

Mouse, that's good that the boys will help you with the English classes. You brought up a point that I'd forgotten about...all those danged rules, lol. Verbs are fun, too....when do you use lie-lay-lain-laid? Or sit-set-sat? I've forgotten ...mostly I was talking about helping with essays, altho I did ace the grammer and punctuation classes when I took them....many moons ago, sigh. Maybe I wouldn't be too much help after all, lol.

Pag, how are you feeling? I'm impressed by Gina, too. Like Mouse, I wouldn't have had any idea at all where to start.

Today is day number four of a four-day stretch at work, thank goodness, and I am off for the next four days. I am sooooo glad. My dgd is coming for the week-end, I think, and with any luck at all, we'll have a full-length futon for her to sleep on instead of the loveseat. She's just plain too long for the loveseat now, bless her heart, altho it doesn't seem to keep her from sleeping well on it.


E. did some more trash picking yesterday, and found an old clock. He took the works out of it, and put them into one he had made a few months ago, out of old computer discs. It is absolutely beautiful, and I'm trying to think of a way to convince him to make more and try to sell them. I would think they'd be worth at least $15-$20 each. He also found a dark wood picture frame, and used it to frame one of our wolf pictures...looks very nice. Now if I can just convince hiim that this is going to be THE perfect week-end to cut the plywood for my craft table....BUT, I also need him to move things around in the living room to make room for the futon, lol. Got him a regular honey-do list going, I do!! Everything will fall into place eventually, tho.

Martie, Kim, Linnea, Doris, Rose, Christy, Elizabeth, Navywife, Sharon, how are y'all doing these days? I hope you're all well and happy.

Time to get ready for work. God bless.
