YES the vacation was great but like it was said...very busy and always on the go. Actually set the alarm clock for 4:30 am most days just so I could do the PRIVATE things rofl. Kristy thanks so much. I am SURE that you need every free minute for your garden right now yourself. Besides....DH really did the best he could and before I saw the few dead plants. My first thought was...oh my gosh, I got a jungle growing back here. lol I am back to normal watering now. In the morning. Since it is to hot to do any garden work anyways. Bob SO GLAD that my timing came just at the right moment for you. (((hugs)) Mailman brought the box with the plants I bought and they got all potted up tonight. Amazing how great they looked, even thou the box was COOKING lol Now let me go and see if I can catch up on some postings before I am still trying to catch up on resting rofl. CU all in the morning. nighty night. Lucy

I'm reading all the posts, even when I'm not responding by typing, I am thinking about you all and praying for you when needed, like EG's daughter needs especially right now. As for worrying about the spirituality of others, well, all we can do is be an example and pray for them. I know in my home that it has made a world of difference when I get closer to the Lord... that's all we can do as it's their decision about their own walk... As for spirits, those that call on Jesus name can kick the BUTT out of anything that isn't off God... try that and see! We made a nasty spirit leave our current home... most people would have called it a ghost. It scared the crap out me for a long time, our tenants (before we moved in the home ourselves, we had rented it) gave us some really scary stories, too, but regardless they HAVE to flee, but ONLY IN JESUS NAME). (Okay, now that everyone thinks I'm crazier than before, I'll change the subject...) Hannah just finished her second week (2 days a week) of tennis. The scar on her leg is mostly healed except at the bottom, but it looks like it's going to turn into a callus... not sure if that's good or bad, but sounds good to me right now... I may still have to go to Dallas to get an adjustment on her prosthesis. I can't blame you, Granny, for wanting to be there for a little bit after the baby is born. You keep standing your ground, girl! Well, I gotta run for now, so I'll check back and try to finish reading the posts... Blessings, Angela

Um, yes. You aren't alone. DH has been making trim for over a week, except everything but that has happened; oil changed, guns cleaned, beer drank, fishing tried, DS guns cleaned, antlers from deer strapped to yard scooter, beer drank, changed water pump, looked up cures for some kind of man itch with friend while drinking beer, blah de blah de blah. Yesterday, I got two test pieces of trim and the explanation that "making trim takes time, you can't just get it all done in a day". Oh and he bought some calcium carbonite rocks because if you drip water on them you can light the acetylene gas it gives off like in the old miners' helmets. Gift for DS for Christmas, at least. Alternate between wanting to smooch him and strangle him.
