I don't think I have a google account.
We had a nice day. The weather was cool, but the sun was shining. I think it was 51 at noon.
our new floors are just about done. The wood flooring looks really good. Tomorrow they install the carpet. Then it will be done for a while.

Five more days left of 06, I haven't accomplished much this past year. Just work, Work and more work. I am going to try and be a better person this year, try and make my job a little more interesting, listen better, call my grandkids more and visit with my sister and brothers more. My three older grandsons I don't see very much, they are busy with school and work, familes and stuff. Get my stuff ready for Nashville in June, I am so excited this year. Last year I almost didn't go, I got a sore foot, but I am so glad I went. Going with my oldest daughter, her boys are all grown up, two are still at home, but they can take care of themselves. My youngest, don't think she likes country music enough to want to go. Maybe in a couple of years I will take my granddaughter with me if we go back in o8 or 09. There is something to see everywhere, country music all day and most of the night, if you like clubs. I am not much on clubs, don't like the smoke and don't drink, they just smell to me. I am sure glad Arkansas has the clean air act. Its makes going out to dinne a lot nicer. Sorry for all the smokers out there but that is the way I feel. Lung cancer killed my mom, I watched her wither away from that stuff, she said, smoked since she was 14 years old. Back then it was the in thing to do. I am surprised that I never took up the habit, both parents were heavy smokers.
We got most of the furniture moved out yesterday, husband slept on the sofa in the living room, granddaughter slept in the bed we left. The new flooring will be started tomorrow, I am excited about getting it. Maybe this will help me get rid of some stuff. I use to give my mom a hard time about saving things, I am just as bad. She said, " guess it was because she grew up in the depression era, back then you didn't throw things away, they might be useful later so you saved it". I am not sure what my excuse is. Granddaughter was helping move things into boxes and found some of my old record albums and asked what are these. I forot I even had them, I am not going to get rid of them, I will keep them a little bit longer. I am going to dust the base boards and wipe the walls, If I had more time, I would paint, did get the living room painted, not finished but I will get to it. Husband said, You won't ever finish, because you never finish anything, just because I started wall papering the hall and stopped does't mean I never finish anything. I think I am going to take the paper down and paint it too. He can just kiss my rear.
Better go and dust those base boards I was talking about.

I have a cold, upper respitory stuff, nose, sore throat makes me cough. My head feels huge. Its Christmas, not supposed to be sick on Christmas, but I got all the presents wrapped and the food cooked. Granddaughter came and helped me out. She is only 10, but she likes to help me cook. Her favorite part is making the rolls, she likes to knead the bread and stuff. Husband called her cheff.

Another sleepless night. I was sleepy this afternoon at work, but not now. I have got to wrap the rest of the presents, I am not really in the mood for christmas this year. Two presents are wrapped and my granddaughter did those. I will get some done tomorrow evening and put them under the tree.
I mixed up some deer summer sausage, I have to bake it tomorrow night, this is the first attempt I hope it is good. You have to bake it for 8-10 hours at 150 degrees. Surely it will taste good. I wish I had a sausage stuffer on my mixer. I guess I will wrap this in plastic wrap.

December 10, 2006

Today is my first grandson's birthday. He is a dad twice now, I wish he was still that cute little boy that always called on Friday night to spend the night. My second grandson will be 21 the 14th of December. They are sure growing up. They get older and don't need grandma much anymore, I sure do miss that.
I got my tree up today and my youngest grandchildren came over to help me decorate it. I get tired of putting it up and taking it down. We are getting new flooring put in on the 27th, so I will have to take it down the day after Christmas. I am excited about the flooring, we haven't done any in about 15 years. It will be like moving, I have so much stuff I have to pack up.
I baked a cake today, called Banana Split Cake, it sure sounded good, has to be with all the good stuff, pineapple, bananas, cherries, coconut and pecans. Cream cheese frosting. Yum and here I am a diebetic but I am going to have some anyway.

December 12, 2006

Very cold this morning, went from 70 degrees last Thursday, to 27 this Thursday. We have been averaging 50 to 60 degress for November. I still had a few plants blooming. I bet they are gone now.

November 29, 2006

I just read about my daughters dreams, I do not dream like that. I can't remember dreams, not like that.
We are supposed to get some snow, I went out today and took pictures of my clemitis that is blooming and the rose bush that is still blooming. They may be covered with ice this time tomorrow. Its bed time.

September 12, 2006

We are so slow at work today, I did not have to go in. Went in yesterday and got sent home. We had two patients on the book for that morning, the same for today. I am going to help set up the booth for the pope county fair this afternoon. I have not gone to the fair in years. Well, I did go last fall to see a patients roses he entered in the fair. I looked at the exhibits and left.The girls have grown up I don't have to go anymore.
The weather is so nice, we got 1 1/2 inches of rain yesterday that we needed so badly.

September 10, 2006

Tomorrow is a sad date in history. We are still at war, why can't we all jut get along.

September 7, 2006

It is cold outside this morning, 58 degrees. Iwas hoping for cooler weather. I like fall and spring. It always get so hot around here in the summer time, hot and dry. Our tomato plants burned up this year. We watered some, but it didn't seemed to help.

September 5, 2006

Another beautiful day. Today is my afternoon from work, I did not accomplish anything. But I sure enjoyed being off. I am so ready to retire, but I ahve a while to go.

September 3, 2006

Another nice day, about 70 degrees. I sat outside again this morning and drank my coffee. Not many humming birds today though. Granddaughter spent the night, she is getting older and it takes more to entertain her. We painted our nails and played games, I am running out of ideas. Grandson is happy just playing on the computer.
I am wanting to get outside and do some digging. move a few things around and maybe get rid of a few plants. I love ornamental grasses, but my zebra grass I have fell over, it looks good, but I wanted it to stand upright. I am going to order some northern lights to plant around the patio. It doesn't get very tall.

August 24, 2006

The month is almost over. We got a nice rain yesterday. It rained till about 2:00 Pm in the afternoon. Then the sun came out, it was 78 degrees at 5:15 yesterday evening. I have been wanting to move some of my plant but the ground is too hard.

August 22, 2006

We finally got some rain, the garden is burn up, too late for that. We had some straight line winds, blowing hard. We are supposed to get some rain again this evening. I hope it waits till I get back home, I have red hat tonight, this is granddaughter night.

August 12, 2006

This morning is a little cooler, this will make it easier on the highway 64 yard salers. It started Thurday morning, it was very hot then, Friday we had cloud cover, so it wasn't so bad that cooled things down quite a bit. The sun is up today though.

August 10, 2006

Happy Birthday to me. 29 again.

August 2, 2006

Watching cooking show, she is making me hungry. Husband does not like to eat too early, likes to wait till after he does the garden. Garden is about to burn up, a few tomatoes, a little okra, takes a couple of pickings before we get a mess to cook.

Another hot dry day. I started parking my car under the trees behind the office. I get tree sap on the car, but I can just wash it more.

Went to family renuion this past weekend, I have three aunts and one uncle. My Aunts looked great, but my uncle looked older, he is 83, I know that 83 is old, but his shoulders were bowing in and he seemed shorter. He has always been tall to me. It just made me realize I might loose him.

July 25,2006

Today is Tuesday, 2nd day of my work week. I am not very engerentic, that is not the correct spelling. Beautiful weather this morning. Nice and cool out, it won't last long, it wasn't bad yesterday. maybe about 89 degrees, that is better than 103.

July 20, 2006

We did not get much rain yesterday, just settled the dust.Garden has burned up anyway. We got the first good mess of okra yesterday. I can have it for dinner tonight with some improved pinto beans a patient gave me this week. I gave her some vegetables and she had to give something back.

Quiet today at work, the doctor is out, I am the only one here, answering the phone and giving directions. A couple of patients have stopped by planning on getting worked in and got disappointed. I scheduled a new patient for tomorrow though. People are always stopping here to ask for directions somewhere, we need to start charging. Lol!

I was reading some of the classes for our August seminar in KC, one is called How to make yourself indispensable. I am not sure I would want to be indispensable. It is hard enough to get a couple of days off around here. I don't know what Doc is going to say when I tell him I am going to take my vacation in June again next year. I have already bought my ticket for the CMA Fest in 07. I have been here for 10 years and only get 1 week, so I think I should be able to take it whenever I want.

Its almost lunch time, so write more later.

July 19, 2006

Not much going on, work, dinner and gardening. It is so hot here, 107 husband said. Came up a thunderstorm, but just sprinkled. I have been watering just about every night. Better go.
