Where does the time go? What a month. Spent this month chasing my tail. Kids and grand kids and home fires. Whew!~Let's see... Dogs had fleas. Been dealing with that. Baby got stung three times yesterday by red wasps. Made me crazy and it was none too pleasant for him. But, I called his NaaiNaai, my daughter at work, and she told me to use baking soda paste on the burns and that works great. The swelling went down fast and he did not suffer with the stings for long because of that suggestion. It works.
There was a wasp nest underneath her grill and he walked under the sidebar and got stung on the head and twice on his little hand. I was in a panic it scared the hoooohaaaa outta me. She has such a beautiful back yard and it was so cool early in the morning. I thought it would be nice to sit on the patio and enjoy the morning breeze. BoBo was just walking off the patio and stumbled right under the nest.
Hay season has started and hunny is working full time on the job and doing hay in his spare time. So that translates into 15 hr days for him. I so worry but he is committed to keeping the hay rolling. I winter it makes a difference for the cows staying well fed. What an amazing man. He can fix any tractor, mower, baler, rake, dozer, trucks, cars, and any number of smaller implements and tools. Very talented that man.
This week just rolled into one long hard effort. We were up at 4:15 am four days as he had to be at work at 5:00a.m. I am still tired. Got up today raced around for five hours and later on took a thirty minute nap.
BoBo is in the process of potty training and it is going so good. I guess I should stop calling him my baby. LOL He is my first great grandchild and will always be my baby. I so enjoy his company although it is harder and harder for me to keep up with him. He is lightening. Like McQueen!~ whew~ lol
I went to Camp Meeting Sunday night and the sermon was great. I was a little disappointed with the start of the meeting. It was the 50th anniverary of the camp meeting so they had programming to commemorate the big day. I was just so pumped I was not wanting to celebrate that, I was wanting the worship to start. the sermon and worship after the celebration was very good. I had hoped to go back later in the week but, life just flows with family stuff and here it is Friday. Oh well!~ Such is life. But I made one night and that is a blessing. The meeting was over an hr drive away from home, so, it is not easy for me to make that kind of drive alone. Especially the drive home late at night.
Garden veggies. YUM~ Brother-in-law Bill has been sending fresh tomatoes, corn, peppers, and last but not least a bit of okra. :0 oh happy happy me. I am a veggie junkie. I could live without meat but not my vegetables.

I'm a babblin' fool...
I Tried to go to the followers listed and send a message to a friend thru my blog here. As it asked if I wanted to send a message I had to sign up so I did. Then I found that I am now a follower of my own blog. Once again I am a victim of my own idiocy. The only difference between myself and many others is, I am always more than willing to admit to it and laugh at myself. LOL Hope someone gets a laugh or two from my foolishness. It gets better. I tried to unsign and it would not let me :P So, here I sit totally befuddled. lol
As to my day, I finally got some mending done and a bit of new sewing finished. I have BoBo so much I hate to drag out the sewing notions for fear I will leave something he could get in his little hands. He is a prowler in the worst way and I have to watch him like a hawk. So, I have so many projects on hold or on my to do list. Whew!
BoBo was out of town this week with Mama and I will see him as usual on Saturday evening for the night and following day. I missed him like crazy but made the most of my time. I wanted so much to get all my mending done but other things came up this week.
I also wanted to finish a book I started. Yes, I have started The Apostolic Life, and it is very interesting. I am finding answers to so many spiritual questions. But, I will do a book post on it when I finish. I have not had time in weeks and weeks for reading and am starting to feel so deprived. There has been so much going on with family and whatnot that I've had to leave the books on the shelf. *sigh* For this bookworm it has been a long dry spell. I still make time for my Bible most days in the early hours but, other books are stacked and sacked here and there. If you know me you know how piled my books can get. I have a box by the front door ready for winter. Rarely in my life have I had a winter book stash as early as July. LOl I usually create piles and stash sources after the Library book sale in October.
I took my oldest grandson for two long and tiring days with medical appointments this month. I hauled my granddaughter to the dentist and will go again in the morning. I have chased Bobo to and fro a good number of days. He is learning to potty. :) Yipeee!~
I fell on the porch last Wednesday and really banged myself up. Good Grief!~ BoBo and his mama were here thank the Lord. We were cleaning the driveway and everything was wet. I stepped up onto the porch and my foot slipped and I did a free fall. The blessing is that I did not break anything. And, I was so blessed that I did not form a hematoma in the bruise on my hip. Since I take blood thinners this can be and has been a serious problem for me in the past on one occasion. it took a few days for all the aches and pains to subside but I am doing great. Praise the Lord!~
I so miss my son now that he is living in Texas. But, we adapt even in old age. lol He got hurt on the job a couple of weeks ago and his leg is all banged up. The residual damage is that he will or could have a calcium deposit the size of a small apple on his leg below the knee for a long long time. But, the damage could have been far worse so I praise God for that in itself. His youngest son has been spending time with us of late and that has been so sweet. I know he misses his dad. He and big brother went and spent a week with him, but that still leaves a lot of time without dad here at home. He does enjoy being here and going out for prowling the farm with Papa or the oldest grandson. Priss and I will go pick him up at his Moms after the dentist appointment. Then Priss and Jake can argue over computer time and turns and whatnot today. LOL
A real bright spot in my world has been that my sister seems to be back in church. I am so thankful. We plan to go to camp meeting this next Sunday nite. I am so excited as I have heard of camp meetings all my life but this will be my first. I expect a mighty and powerful spiritual experience with my God when I go. So, I am pumped. :)I am certain the worship will be powerful and the teaching will be mighty. Oh, how I love to worship. I have a lot of years to make up for from my days lost in the darkness.
My daughter has a very dear friend,who, well, actually she is a dear friend to my son as well...duh~ Barbara is very dear to me as well. Barbara and her girls are like extended family to all of us. Her daughter Crissy was in a horrific car wreck this week, and prayers are ongoing for Crissy and her friends. One girl died in the wreck and the two boys are still on ventilators. Crissy has been transferred to a Bone and Joint hospital. I have prayed and prayed for all the kids and their families. I hope and pray I can post praise reports to my Book of Remembrances here soon. Until then I will continue to pray. When you read this say a prayer for these children and their families please.
My sister Juanita has another infection in a wound. She had same day surgery last week and goes back to the doctor tomorrow. Another prayer situation that I believe will be positive. It will be okay for I serve a God who is Able.
Deuteronomy 4:39 (King James Version)
39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Amen!~

I changed the comments settings!~
I got an email from a friend who said it was impossible to comment on my blog. So, I changed the settings. thanks!~ Plz try again.
Dumpster Divin'???
LOL In the Spring and Fall each year our city has a citywide bulk waste curbside clean-up for residents. LOl This means that if you don't want to have a garage sale you can pile all your junk at the curb and the city will haul it off. I know. I usually pile a ton of stuff at the curb and by the time the trucks come most of it has been carried off by those who have a use for all my miscellaneous junk. LOL It is a great giveaway kind of thing. LOL
I know. Hubby and I drive around town and look at all the piles and sometimes carry stuff home. LOL Actually we sometimes carry a lot of stuff home. Last Spring I rescued an Ivy plant from the curb, along with a couple of beautiful potted ornamental shrubs. The Ivy was root bound so I re potted it and now it sits on the front porch and has exploded into all its majesty. I will need to find a home for it before winter as it is so huge now I have no room for it inside the house. LOL The ornamentals are planted in the backyard.
I also found BoBo a tiny little Red Rider bicycle and a Jenny Lind rocking chair just his size. Both were in mint condition. I wiped them down and he was thrilled.
I was driving along last spring and there was a very nice recliner sitting at the curb. I tried to get it into the back of the Suburban and got it stuck. LOL I called my son. He was so embarrassed to come and help me. LOL :P But, the recliner was of great thrills to a young couple we met who needed it for their new place. They had nothing and were overjoyed to get it along with a fan and a few other things we had at the curb here at home.
Now, this mobile high-pile dumpster divin' hubby and I are into is a source of great embarrassment to our children and grandchildren. LOL Hey!~ We're hicks!~ What can I say. And, anyone who knows me at all knows that I am a full blown dyed in the wool bargain hunter. If it ain't on sale, I ain't buyin'. Sooooo, free...FREE!~ How could I resist that I ask you???
btw, ain't is "hick speak" for I am not, or, is not, etc. etc.
There have been bulk waste days where my sister and I have driven' around town for a couple of hours just lookin'. It is amazing what people will throw away. I know that from my great bulk waste escapades. LOL
Ok, so fast forward to this week. My hubby went to pick up our granddaughter of 15 the other night. She was talking to her mom about the winter formal. She was saving her hard earned nickels and dimes to buy hair accessories for the upcoming winter formal and wanted a pact with mom. She would save and mom would supply a matching amount. She told mom she did not care about the dress so much, but, would be happy to shop for a special dress for the prom instead. LOL As they were leaving to come back to our house my daughter heard my hubby tell her he thought it was time for him to take her to look for a winter formal, and he would take her dumster divin'.
I still laff so hard when I think of what must have been the horrified look on her face. what a hoot!~
I am posting this one for the kids and grand kids alike.
