Good Morning.. It is going to be a great day.. Work is top on the list.. Computer PLAY time is second.. Yeah right I can do both I think..

Took a few minutes to pop into the playroom to see what was happening and the saddest news was posted by a playroom member today.. Her son, Michael Alan Christensen and son-in-law John Trinco, died Saturday, October 6, 2002. when a boat capsized Sunday afternoon on Lake Miltona in Douglas County in west-central Minnesota. My thoughts and prayers are with this family
My heart is so heavy with grief even though I don't personally know them.

Short night for me I didn't get much sleep.. :O( Maybe I will sneak a nap this afternoon.. David & Robin came out last night he had forgotten his contact holder Saturday night.. Late yesterday I sat for a long time outside it was so calm which is unusal in Oklahoma.. I love watching the 5 kittens play. I just wish they would let me get close to them.. But I think they are going to be wild now that their Momma is gone.. They are even following the guieanes around I guess they think they are their Momma.. Looks like rain is on it way.. I love the slow steady rain I hope that is what we get.. NOT STORMS..
I have company this morning.. "Gizmo"... He hates thunderstorms so I called Tiff and she brought him by to keep me company today while she goes to work.. I set Carol a tag board at her Cozy corner website I can't wait for her to tag me..
Kids Softball games were rained out.. Chester didn't get in until late :O( his feet were soaking wet.. Bet he takes his rainware tomorrow.

Feeling much better this morning finally got a good nights sleep. Busy day working today but I would rather play but time for that later.. The guienes are so silly they are trying to get out of the rain by getting under the eave of the side garage. while the kittens are curled up in the garage missing their momie..
Poped over to Sindees to see how her Oklahoma day is going.. Come to find out she is really a razorback fan.. Living in Oklahoma for 8 years she is now a follower of both teams as long as they aren't playing eachother.... :O)

I Had lunch with Tracy at town.. Was able to get a little insite to her work.. She is loving being a nurse and I am so proud of and for her. After we had lunch we went to Wal-Mart to browse around and I bought a new micro wave.. plus some things that were not on the list.. :O) The glass had broken in our old microwave so it had to be replaced. I sure hope this one cooks the peanut brittle and fudge like my old one did... When I got back home and back to work a neighbors dog came into the yard and caught and killed one of the baby kittens.. Why he did this I don't know but I am sure this is the same dog that killed the momma cat.. It was so sad the little fellow suffered but I tried to make him comfortable by putting a towel around him.. I call DH and he came on home and we went to talk to the neighbors but no one was home.. Now we know what has been getting the guieanes.. Not coyotes.
Tonight is survivor & CSI night so I will be glue to the tube for awhile.. :O)
FIL had a DR appointment today.. Jim took him.. He had x-rays done due shortness of breath.. They told him all looks well with his blood and heart but would have to read the xrays and would call him with results.. Well they called alright while he was outside and left a message that he has a large mass on one of his lungs and for him to call in the morning and speak to his doctor.... I am sure he will have to have more test ran but it could be scare tissue for his emphamiza..(SP?). My prayers are with him during his waiting time while the x-rays are futher looked at and that the results from the Doctor are good.

It is almost time for some
I am getting excited.. Our plans are to be at Davids to watch the game. I really don't care where we are as long as I get to watch.. :O)
For years we attended the OU and TX games, made a mini vacation out of it.. but we haven't attended the past three. The girls went last year but they decided to sit this years out and watch at home.. Sooner time in Oklahoma.. :O)
GAME TIME 2:30
Est 10:45 am
How trivia my planing for the Sooner games feels as I write this. Tracy went to FIL this morning to be there when the call was made to the doctor. Grandpa sometimes doesn't hear to well on the phone.. The air was knocked out of her when the DR plainly stated that FIL has cancer.. HUGS Tracy thanks for being there for Grandpa.. How I hate that word..CANCER... At age 82 will be 83 the 21st.. Is it contained?? What type?? ohhh the questions with no answers.. To all that read my journal Please include him in your prayers that Gods mercy will be given to my FIL.

Opened Tiff a free home page at tripod.. None of the choices she wanted for names so it is tnook0.. She will probably open one with a different name later but that is the best I could do for now.. Visit her at The Nook
If you can visit Andree's Honor America page
This isn't a direct link to that page you will have to go to her home page then to her Honor American page but it is worth the time and effort.
Way to go Sooners.. Final score SOONERS 35 ~~~~ Longhorns 24
Chester and Tiff went by FIL's and fixed his spare bed frame that had broken.....the on to David and Robin's to watch the Red River Rival game.. Go SOONERS... Tiffani, Kevin, Tracy, Carol, Torie and Rodney joined in on cheering the Sooners on to victory.... Destry came over later and joined all of us but Rodney and Torie in a couple of games of cards.. It is a good thing the Sooners won because I sure stunk it up playing cards tonight.. I think I got the record worse score.. LOL
Verse for today
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

I have a full plate today with work and it is FIL 83 birthday.. L8ter I will try to blog hop and see what everone is up to.. many nice ladies out there in cyber. UPDATE: Tracy and I took FIL out for Birthday Breakfast.. And the games were not canceled.. Tiffani wasn't suppose to play but the other team was short handed so she played catcher for them..

"Rain!" I love it when I can curl up with a good book or take a long nap BUT when you have things to do and have to get out in it well you get the picture.. Thank goodness it has been a slow easy rain.
FIL has his appointment in the morning.. I have prayed and I am trying my best to leave it in God's hands.. I hate it when I hand it to him then snatch it back like I think I can fix it..
I am not in the mood to try to sugar coat this anymore so I will just say all is well.. God is good all the time.. ON the upside.. I made a big pot of Chili for supper.. Yumm .. Tiffani came by and ate her some and took some to Kevin.. He had to make a trip to Odessa Texas so he wasn't going to be home until late.
Tracy's dryer is on the blink, we are going to have to get the heating element taken off and replaced..at least that is what we hope is wrong with it.. Oh and one more thing I did get the payroll done today and that I am thankful. IF I am needed tomorrow I won't have it to worry about it..

Kevin and Tracy both had to work so they didn't join us.. Tiffani came from work to the house and we went to the big 7th grade taco dinner.. We got to see the Henderson family and some others they we don't see very often but most of all I got to see Debbie Jo ~Use to be Alexander ~ at the dinner.. It was great to see her again.. Gee it had been like 10 years since we had seen each other last.. We had a fast visit with me talking 90 miles a minute to try to catch up.. Then our plans were to go to the football coronation and football game.. Well that was before we got to the parking lot to get our jackets and relized that we were getting a flat tire... So we decided we better go get that taken care of.. Well in our big hometown that isn't that easy after 5pm.. So we missed the game and decided to go on home.

After the Fact: ~ Entry done Sunday the 27th ~
Saturday.. A wonderful day spent with the girls and Robin.. at the AFFAIR OF THE HEARTS from 9:30 until about 3:30.. Whew the crowd was terrible.. We easied our tired bones to the Olive garden for a nice lunch ~ dinner.. Love the salad and bread sticks... Of course No trip is complete until you stop at WAL-MART and I am glad we did..Tracy got her first Christmas tree.. Of course it isn't real.. LOL with her job hours she decided it would be best to go with a artifical one but she will decorate it up and in the long run I think she will be happy with her decision.. Kevin meet us in Norman and picked Tiff up and they went to the hockey game.. She was tired from the Affair of the hearts so She will be draging before her night is over.. I got home about 8:15 and DH was so glad I didn't want to unload the vehicle.. He told me Destry got a deer and he had to go with him to check it in reason I don't know and other than that he enjoyed his peaceful afternoon home alone.

Well I thought I should catch up on what I have been doing the past two days while I have my first cup of coffee.. That's done entry made for Friday and Saturday..
SUNDAY: Well my biological clock went off thinking it was 6:30 but it is only 5:30 because the time fell back one hour last night.. One cup of coffee drank and I think I will go lay back down..:O) Naw I need to do some laundry, unload and put away what I purchased yesterday and get the house picked up in case unexpected company comes by.. Again how can two people make such a mess.
The girls and their men came over around 6:30. T and K brought pasta and fixings over and prepared a great dish for us all. We had a great visit until I stuck my thoughts in on who is to wear TR new overalls.. Well I should have know better what I see is not what she sees.. Poor TR I had blamed her for a year of loosing her overalls and they were here all the time.. TL had her dads.. Sorry TR.

Work is top got to get it done.. TODAY.. no putting any of it off so if anything happens that takes me away from my work duties I will be ahead of things instead of the usual behind..
FIL is still waiting on a call from the Doctor to see what the next step is.. and he twisted wrong and now his back is hurting him. Sure hope he hasn't dislocated anything..
After The Fact
FIL's appointment is set for November 5, 12:30 p.m. blood work first the the biopsy. They told him that it will either be done with tube down the nose or throat he couldn't remember or if they couldn't get to it that way it would be extracted with an needle.. through the chest or back he didn't ask.. :O( They did ask him if surgery was needed was he willing and he told them Yes..

My day started in the usual way.. Stumpling to the bathroom taking a quick shower, dressing, Coffee in hand all the way and getting on the PC.. I began work early about 5:30 because I knew that I was going to cut it short today.. Tiff brought some meat over on her way to work and I started us a big pot of stew for dinner because we are making POPCORN balls tonight.. Halloween tradition handed down from my Mom.. Well about noon and DH called and needed some survey things filled out on line and printed for a major oil company.. So I throw it in high gear fill in the basics and got my little printer smoking.. Well I didn't get done but I snatched some stew.. No completely done but close.. to take to FIL for his dinner and left to meet Tiff at FIL's to take them shopping.. We had a great time.. FIL is such a loving man with a great sense of humor.. My husband is so much like him it hurts..
When our shopping trip had come to a end I told him I had to hurry home and get the rest of my work done before his son fires me.. He just laughed and said you tell him Dad needed you today.. I gave him a big hug and laughed but inside I wanted to cry.. Funny how including him in Tiff's and my shopping trip made his day.. I know he gets so lonely and with all that is going on in his life right now I am sure he has needs that we don't see.
When I got home.. I got the Printer running.. Tiff is here making the cornbread to go with the stew Chet comes home and he is ready to make those popcorn balls.. then the phone rings I find out that I have a Aunt in the hospital.. I called Tracy and asked her to look in on her before or after her shift at the hospital.. then phone rings again.. it is my best buddy Norma.. we have to get the plans down for our little trip to see the fall foliage this week-end.. then the phone rings yet again.. David is hunting Tiffani.. They play a double header softball games tonight.. Well enough said.. Into high gear one more time ~ We Ate ~ turn the answering machine on AND went to the ballgame.. What a day.. But a lovely one filled with family and friends.. and a little work.. but the popcorn balls will have to wait until tomorrow night.. But Tracy will not be working tomorrow night so she can join us.. SO IT IS A GOOD THING.. :O)

Cool and windy on the home front this morning. When walking to the mail box I should have had on a light jacket..
Tracy checked on my Aunt early this morning seems she might get to come home today.. It is sad that she has been in there ever since Saturday and no one let me know. Oh well sometimes I think the PC is a great communication tool and other times it isn't.. Seems like family loves to fwd things to you but can't seem to type a line to let you know what is going on in their life.. Gee I hate it when I start whinning about things I can't control.
That is my down fall trying to control things that are out of my control.. Praying on this one big time.. God IS good ALL the TIME.
I am ready to make those Popcorn balls.. Having Chicken for supper but I haven't decided how I am going to fix it. Tiffani is going by Robins after she gets off of work first to help her with Halloween decorations then I think she is coming out here to help make the popcorn balls.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBIN..
If you have a minute I have a poem on my site about October Leaves written many years ago by one of my distant cousins ~ Emma ..

Last night we made those Popcorn balls.. MOMs were better.. but they turned out OK.. Tiffani, Robin and I had fun making them.. It was their first time to make them so now they know how.. Tracy had company from her college days come to her house so she didn't get to be here with us.
Got to get to work... KP is coming over to help me get my cabinets and assorted drawers emptied and cleaned out before the holidays get here.. We might even tackle that back storage room.. Naw.. we will save that for next week.
I have a hair appointment at noon.. This Oklahoma weather has made it fall flat as a fiddle.. LOL
When Chester got home me ate leftover soup and Grill cheese sandwiches.. Now we are ready to have some trick or treaters or just curl up and watch T.V.

Usually the only trick or treaters we have are family but this year we had 3 different sets of treaters and none of them were family.. First we Jennifer children they live a south of us.. the other set I have never seen before but they sure were polite and cute.. The last group was Robert and Misty children.. Robert came after POPCORN balls.. LOL.. Their children we all so sweet but Roberts kido's were the best.. They had found a outfit of a pumpkin for the baby sooo cute..
After Surviors I did a little bog hopping late last night and found this cute blinkie..

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
When I start this entry out with GOD is GOOD all the time I hope you understand it comes from the greatest desire to praise my Savior and all the blessings that he daily gives me..
Here is one of the great blessing he has given me ..FRIENDS....
The four of us shared a great week-end together traveling about 795 miles from our home and back when we went through the Talimeana Scenic Drive
We had soooo much fun.. We laughed.... and laughed some more.
The weather wasn't exactly what we had wished for but it really didn't matter we were getting away for the week-end with our best friends..
It was misting rain when we left Saturday morning and continue all day..Sometimes light sometimes heavy.
By nightfall up on Magazine mountain, AR, the fog was so thick "you could cut it with a knife." Then the rain started falling harder which brought on more fog.. LOL Oh well we had a blast.
This was a trip that we will cherish in our memories forever..
I took way to many pictures of foliage but it was really pretty even with the weather.
Thanks Leo and Norma for helping us capture these Kodiak moments...

In Oklahoma tomorrow Voting is important as usual but also because of the animal rights measures on the ballot... One link to this issue can be found here. Ban Cockfighting
State Question 687 requires a "yes" vote, so it is important
that voters take time to read the ballot language to avoid confusion. In
this case "yes" means no to cockfighting.
I am not supporting or protesting cockfighting I am just confused on if other animal sports as hunting and rodeo's will somehow be affected by my vote.. Need to do some quick research on this before tomorrow.
I will take a stand and say I am against cockfighting but but but but..
I have been feeling a little punny today.. To much fun this last week-end I guess and my body is paying for it.. So I will catch up around here later. I hope.

DH came by and picked me up and we went and cast our Votes... I hope they have a good turn out at the polls for this election. I was #44 but that isn't bad because there are sometimes less than a 100 that vote at the polls were we vote. It will be interesting to watch the results this evening. My oldest Sisters DH is running for re-election as our county commissioner. YOU GOT MY VOTE KH.. I wonder if there is going to be a watch party.. I need to contact Sis to see.. If anyone that is reading this and hasn't VOTED yet please do.
On the way to Vote, which is only a couple of miles from our home went go by my Dad's and his wifes home.. Dad was outside.. Gee my heart skips a beat when DH ask if I wanted to stop and say hello.. We pull over on the side of the road and visit for a short while.. It is always such a strain everyone watching to make sure they don't say anything out of the way.. It almost makes one think that we are only neighbors. Oh well it has been a hard 11 years since Mom died. He did tell me My oldest brother is no longer living there.. He has a place of his own now in town.. It was like I had to drag the where out of Dad. Did he think I was going to stop by uninvited?? WHERE IS OUR CLOSE FAMILY WE USE TO HAVE?? It's there I know it is just covered with alot of pain. :O(
My Aunt B is home from the hospital.. Prayers for her. I need to make a dish or two to take to her house. I will add that to this weeks to do list.
DH, Jim and Tracy have taken FIL for his appointment.. Now I wait and pray..
We won't have any news today I am sure but if I get any I will update. HUGS to all that have had my FIL on their prayer list. Thank you Norma, Lou and Bobbie Lou for calling us to check on him.

Brother in law was relected as County commissioner.. Yea way to go.. I am so proud for him he really does try to do a good job.
Aunt Berniece is back in the hospital again. The cancer is invading her body in leap and bounds.. Prayers..
FIL's appointment yesterday was not what he expected.. Samples of his fleam is to be taken in Friday for testing to see if they can tell what type of cancer he has.. They are 99% sure he does have cancer in one lung.
I did get payroll done that was a big relief as much trouble that I have had the last few days with my PC I was beginning to wonder.. I contacted gateway again about my runme errors and they again say their is nothing they can do but a complete overhaul. This I am hoping can wait until after a purchase a new PC for use of company things only.. Oh well that has been on the burner for awhile now so this will probably crash and cause many headaches...
David and Robin came out tonight and we played 3 games of cards.. It is great to have company and DH loves playing cards.. Tracy, Destry and Brooklin came by to visit and to pick up some things that Tracy had faxed here from the Ada hospital. It was good to see her.. I have been missing that smile of hers. Well goodnight I hope all is well at Nancze I will have to check in with her tomorrow I am calling it a night.. Thank you for your prayers..

P.O.W. ~ My Father In Law
Tiffani, Robin and I went to the City shopping.. First stop was to show Tiffani where David worked then on to the furniture stores.. Then of course we had to stop and have lunch.. We chose Boomarang which none of us had ate at before and we were all surprised how good it was.. I had a Chicken breast topped with mushrooms, grilled onions and bacon with that toped with assorted cheeses.. Yummmm..
Well we shoped until we droped but next Tuesday my new livingroom funiture should be here.. 5 pieces I couldn't find new tables so that will come later on another shoping trip.. We were way over due getting new furniture.. It is a Bummer living so far away that they only deliver once a week in my area. But this will give me time to get ready for it..

Busy busy day... First work and work some more but I think I am getting caught up after taking Monday off. Gizmo was here with me today but he was in a very lazy mood. Picture of My Grandpup in November 8th journal entry.
I had to be at Tiffs for the furniture place to pick up one of her recliners to have it repaired about 3:30. While Gizmo and I was there I let the air out of the swimming pool toys after that was done I got to thinking I sure hope Tiff wanted them deflated. :O)
Tiffs recliner was picked up around five then Gizmo and I went back home. Tiff was there doining the monthly payroll taxes. By the time those were done DH made it home and we ate Jo's Pizza that Tiff had brought in.. Had to have a little of that wine that we brought home from our ARK trip.. LOL.. Before we had finished eating Kevin made it in and got to eat with us..
Being early but dark already we played 3 games of cards.. Gee what a busy busy day.. but I love it all.. Oh yea Tiff and I finally won the sugar game.. Haahee.
Norma called today she made it in to read my journal.. Thanks Norma for calling and checking on me.. You are the best of best.. My Friends: Leo and Norma in November 3rd journal entry.
When the new furniture comes in Norma and I will go shopping for material to make some pillows.. Congrats Norma on the purchase of your new Camera I hope you are as happy with it as you were your first one.
BTW: Talked to Robin their insurance is going to come out and look at the water damage that happened last Friday when a pipe busted while she was at work.. :O) I hope they get that settled fast so that their wood floors aren't damaged beyond repair.

I took FIL to the Doctor and it was a tiring day for us both.. Dr Roe told us the results were inculusive but that didn't mean that he had cancer it just meant they didn't know.. and that if it was cancer surgery would not be a option considering his age and his enflueza.. Also that FIL needs to be on oxygen and for us to go to the lung doctor and see if it he will order it.. 2 hours later and many trips from one place to another we finally got the request filled.. The oxygen will be delivered tomorrow.
Tiff had a Dr appointment in Norman and Tracy had a nursing meeting this morning abt scheduling. Many unhappy nurses with the complete change. The girls meet each other and did a little Christmas shopping. I am glad to see them do things like that together.
Nephew JL called to check on FIL talked a long while about the what if and maybes.. Wanda C. called to check on FIL that is so sweet of her to be thinking of us.
DH has a terrible head cold so he will probably call it in early tonight right after the Survivor T.V. program goes off. I will watch that and then join the Chat at myfamily playroom.

Last night after work, DH, Tiff, SIL and I went to the city and purchased a new desk cabinet.. Having two computers I didn't want both monitors showing.. The family already calls me a computer nerd.. :O) It wasn't really what we wanted but it was in our price range. Afterwards we went to Cattlemans to eat.. It was really good.
I made a couple new blinkies late last night.. Need to practice..:O)
 
UPDATE on todays events: SIL and his coworker came after our livingroom suite so we now have only bean bags to sit on until this coming Tuesday.. That is OK with DH because that is where he sits most of the time anyway.
DH mowed and ran the weed-eater to get the lawn ready for winter while I gathered and stacked the tree that had fell this summer. DH burned it since the wind was fairly calm.
I moved some rocks around at the pond and found out real quick I am as far out of shape as the pond is..but the pond does look so much better..
We called it quits around 5pm. David and Robin came out and we went to Sonic to get supper which we brought back to our house and set in for a night of cards.. :O) Tiff and Kevin came over so we had a blast.. Tracy was at Destry's parents, they were having a birthday party for his little girl.

Today is a lay back kind of day and I am glad considering I can hardly move from working in the yard yesterday.. I really need to start exercising on a daily basic. Yea Right! that would mean getting off my back side.. and out from in-front of the computer.
DH got the computer cabinet put together.. Whew he is a sweetie it took him all afternoon but he did a great job.
Trash is all hauled off from picking up the yard and straightening the garage yesterday so we feel that we actually got something accomplished this week-end. Now if I just had my ironing done.. LOL.

Robin stopped by for a minute, David is in Kansas working.. She had been out delivering shower gifts to Sis to take to Mindi and brother to take to Laura.. I still got to get something bought.
The girls are doing their own thing tonight.. Tiffani was cleaning her ice box when I talked to her..I need to do that.. Tracy was not going to do anything that I know of.

The curtains are all ironed and tops are all rehung but I couldn't get the bottoms back on the rods before DH had to go to work.. I think Tracy is coming out today so maybe with her help we can get them back up..
I emptied two boxes of misc that had been collecting in the backroom.. I think I need to pull the pickup to the window and just start chunking things out the window into it.. :O) A pot of red (Pinto) beans is cooking for supper, Kevin will be tickled since they are coming over tonight.. Sally from the myfamily.com playroom sent me a jar of her Sally's Salsa to try. I had some Sunday with chips and it was delicious so I will try some on my Beans and cornbread tonight. Thank you Sally.. I will be getting me some when it hits the shelves in Oklahoma.
This is pay week so I better get off of here and get my livingroom finished and get working..
THE LIVINGROOM FURNITURE COMES TODAY... Yea I am tired of setting on the floor..
The day is coming to a end with a relaxing night of sitting on the new furniture, well DH sleeping on it getting it broke in right. :O)
I had gotten on line to check my email and wow I had a tag from Nancze.. I am glad she is back on line and all is OK with her.
I am fighting a head cold so I am going to sign back off but wanted to let NANCZE know her on line friends missed her.. Had it only been 11 days?? It felt like months.

After lunch DH came home to do the safety survey. It took us over 2 hours to answer all those questions. We are glad to get that behind us..
Norma called and told me about a tax class that is being offered at Duncan Vo-tech.. I just don't think that it would benefit me so I told her Nope not me.. Thanks for thinking of me Norma..
Tracy is still trying to get her mind made up on a possible job change and of course she still has her eyes on purchasing the land.. Hugs Tracy being in the real world is not always so much fun.
Around 7 pm insurance salesperson came for his appointment with us. We took out the cancer insurance.. Humm sure hope we made the right choice.. We have to continue being cancer free for 30 days before the policy will be in effect. That I plan on doing.

My day started early.. Tracy was calling at 7:30 saying she was coming by.. She got a turkey from her work place for Thanksgiving and she hasn't got room for it so she is bringing it us.. Thanks Tracy that is one thing off my town list..
Tiff was right behind her bringing breakfast for the three of us.. Gee I think they had this planned. :O)
Tracy went home to bed and Tiff and I went to Tories baby shower.. Her mom, Betty always does the cutes decorations for showers and such.. Torie has the baby's room all done it is so cute.
I got all the baby shower and wedding shower money delivered.. December 7th Laura gets married, Mindi's baby is due December 21 and Tories baby is due January 14th.
JA brought up the subject of Christmas at her house if Mindi isn't in labor.. Tiff suggested instead of everyone bringing snacks that we buy Subway sandwiches for the group.. Gee tiff that is alot of sands.. LOL.. Well Sherri gave her 20. for her to begin the purchase.. LONG STORY... It doesn't really matter as long as we get together.
About noon DH came by to get me for shopping... Tiff and Kevin joined us so we ate Mexican food at Sooner Mall.. Wow the mall was packed.
Then off to Wal-mart.. $200.00 later I THINK I have all my goodies for Thanksgiving.. :O)
We barely got home and grocrey put away in time for the OU VS Texas Tech game.. YEEAAAA OU won ..
The kids left at half time.. I think they realized dear mom was done in and would be calling it a night soon.. I didn't make it through the game I was asleep on the love seat.
I do forget that others read my journal and when I finally got home last night and listened to my phone messages there was a question from Norma on who I was refering to on my prayer list. Jerry is my DH first cousin and Michael is his 2nd cousin. Sorry Norma. I will try to explain better.
DH brought me my tennis shoes to wear shopping.. He is so sweet.. Well I changed out of my dress shoes.. But darn it.. Now that I am home and the Sub is unloaded I can only find one of my dress shoes.. Guess I kicked one out at Walmart.. BUMBER!! It is a good thing my head is attached or I would loose it.

OUR PLANS are to go eat breakfast.. Then come home and get the Christmas outside decorations out and taken to Tiff's.. Kevin is going to love us for this.. LOL
We just don't want to get into the large decorations this year or so DH says... Well there are some that I can do myself and they will be put out.. Norma and Leo made me the cutes candy cane last year.. I will be getting the lights checked on it for sure..
PRAYER list: A online friend hubby is having a difficult time with finding employment. JD your job search is in my prayers.
I got this cutie tonight in my email.. I love them. Nancze you made my day.. Thank you..
At the Playroom Ann, Tea and I had a blast dressing these little sweeties. I wish I knew whom to give credit to the original artist to but I don't.

I canceled my Dr appointment.. Will reschedule for the first of January..

Can you believe it.. Norma signed my tag board.. Thanks Norma.. Tell Garlin when he has some deer Chili ready to give us a call.. You lost a shoe in WY and I lost one in Norman.. So was it your left or right?? I lost my right one.. Guess we could paint them to look alike and call it a new pair.. One tennis and one leather dress.. Never know we could start a trend.. LOL I can't believe you have your tree already up.. Gee whiz I better get a move on.. DH checked the candy cane and all the lights are still working.. After Thanksgiving when I get it set, I will take a picture of it and put on here.

Busy day ~~ Tried to get my work caught up.. At noon I went to Tiffs to meet the furniture company that is finally bringing her recliner back from getting it repaired.. Then back home to do some much over looked housekeeping and ironing... DH made it in around 7pm we ate a quick supper and he kicked back in front of the t.v. and I keep doing housework.. Well I will not complain he usually will help out but things at work are a little crazy for him.

I see the tag boards are working this morning.. I am going to do some quick blog hopping before I start work to wish everyone I can a Happy Thanksgiving.
This silly cold is hanging on.. My ears are clogged and my nose is stuffed.. LOL and I have a million things to do today.
The girls and their men should be here for supper tonight and some pre Thanksgiving cooking.. I love it when the girls come over the night before the holiday to help out... God has blessed us with two great young ladies.
I composed and sent out Happy Thanksgiving notes to those that I have addresses for on Maysville School Days..
I just love Thanksgiving--the company of friends and family, the TURKEY & DRESSING, the crisp air! We're expecting cool air in these parts tomorrow, but it doesn't look like it will be a white Thanksgiving. :-)
I'm looking forward to a blessed holiday season. This holiday season, we will try to focus on your blessings and remember the true meaning of Christmas--which is God's love for us through His Son, Jesus.
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.
Lots of love! Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Wednesday night: The girls made a Italian cream cake, cheese cake and a pumpkin pie for the holidays.. Destry and his children were with Tracy so the kids got to help and taste. We made homemade burritos and enchalidas for supper then we played a couple of games of rummy. Kevin didn't eat..he said he had a late lunch, I hope that is all that it was. My prayers are with you big guy..

We made it home about 12:30 a.m. from the Houston Area.. We had a great time but how could we not "THE SOONER WON"
Things we did while we were down in the Houston Area.. We went across the Hartman Bridgewhich has eight lanes of traffic on twin 78-foot-wide decks. The decks are supported at their edges by multi-strand cables, in a fan-type arrangement, radiating from the 435-foot-high tower tops. The bridge is currently the world’s second largest cable-stayed bridge in terms of overall deck area.We didn't enter but we went by the
San Jacinto Park & Monument Kemah Boardwalk Battleship TEXAS
On the way back to Robby's house we rode the Lynchbury ferry that also allowed us to go by where Robby works.. When we got back to Robbys the men were itching to get to the Reliant statium so off we went to join Ron Shaffer in a Tailgate party.. The stadium was unreal in size..
 They didn't close the dome but the weather was fairly nice so it didn't really matter.
Sunday Morning we went over to Vinton Louisiana for some one arm bandit.. at Delta Downs casino and race track.. It was a neat place way out in the country.. We stayed to about 3 p.m. then started home. We ate at a nice little local restuarant. Stoped at the Texas information center that had a great walk way out into the waterway resesover.. That was our only major stops on the way home. Be Sure and Mark the calendar for the Rose Bowl No. 8 Oklahoma vs. No. 7 Washington State

All is quite on the home front.. We are going Christmas shopping today.. In hopes to finish up..
Tea and Nancze are under the weather.
I thought I would try one of those get to know me..
This-or-That TUESDAYS: December 10, 2002
1. Real or artificial tree? Artificial and love it.. In our 30 years of marriage our first 3 Christmas trees were real and I hated the mess.OUR TREE
2. Real or artificial wreath?None our door doesn't allow it but before they were always artifical.
3. Open gifts on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day (or do you do another holiday such as Hannukkah)? When the girls were still living at home and Santa made his visits we opened gifts on Christmas Eve.. For 5 years, now that the girls have their own homes we open on Christmas Morning. This is the first year in 27 years that the girls haven't been here on Christmas Eve waking to Santa on Christmas Morning.. They say they are going to come over Christmas morning this year so the tradition changes again with many more changes to come I am sure when they have families of their own... :O)
4. "It's A Wonderful Life" or "Miracle on 34th Street"? Miracle on 34th Street
5. Outdoor decorations, or just indoors?We have both but this year we only put out one Candy Cane outdoor decoration.. We use to do the whole front of our acre maybe when we have grandkids we will again do it.
6. "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" or "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer"? Love them both but I guess I humm Santa Claus is Coming to town more often
7. Miniature lights or the larger ones? Minature steady glow and blinkies I believe this year I have 8 strands of 250 half blinkies and stedy glow. I do love lights. Then we have lights around the mantel.
8. Store-bought or hand-made ornaments? We have a little of all on our tree. This year I changed the topper to a more county look ~ Grapevine Star ~ replaced the pearl beads with wooden canberry beads and added rafia bows
9. TV Specials: The Grinch or Charlie Brown? Charlie Brown I never really got into the new Grinch TV Special.
10. Will you be staying at home for the holiday, or going visiting? Staying home. We are blessed that our family lives close.
I adopted a new blinkie. Thanks Marsha for making this sweetie

Thank you Nancze for this beautiful bird Christmas card.. I do love to watch and feed my wild birds..
I am going to have another busy day here at work.. Payroll and getting as much done so that I won't have to work so much Christmas week. Yea right..
Tiffani and Kevin's dinning room table and chairs they bought Saturday were delivered today.. Good and bad news on that.. The table had big scrapes on it and they didn't bring the captain chairs. So she had to call and throw a fit and they are suppose to bring a new table Tuesday and the chairs.. Seems like you can't get decent service anymore.They came over and cooked speggetti and David and Robin came over also so after supper we played a game of rummy.. David won again.
Hugs everyone.I received this in a email tonight and I wanted to share it and my email to my local Oklahoma City ABC newstation.
Dear ABC ChannelOklahoma.com
I thought I would let you know this email is being sent around and it greatly destresses me.. If the email is or isn't true I would like to be advised.. The comments by ABC webmaster greatly disturbes me..
I await a response since your station is aired on ABC.. Thank you
Gayla ~~~~
Subject: ABC - TV
Remember, this little company is owned by Disney. I felt that you'd want
to see this complaint from Coach Neugent to ABC and their response to
him. I'm sure this E-mail is going to get a tremendous amount of
circulation. Buford Langston, Brenham, Texas
Jim Neugent is a coach in Childress, Texas. Jim writes:
My name is Jim Neugent. I wrote to ABC (on-line) concerning a program called
"THE PRACTICE." In last nights episode, one of the lawyer's mothers decided
she is gay and wanted her son to go to court and help her get a marriage
license so she could marry her 'partner,'
I sent the following letter to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a
reply, but I did get one. My original message was: ABC is obsessed (or
should I say abscessed) with the subject of homosexuality. I will no longer
watch any of your attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK.
THE PRACTICE can be a fairly good show, but last night's program was so
typical of your agenda. You picked the dufus' of the office to be the one
who was against the idea of his mother being gay and made him look like a
whiner because he had convictions. This type of mentality calls people like
me a "gay basher." Read the first chapter of Romans (that's in the Bible)
and see what the apostle Paul had to say about it.... He, God and Jesus were
all 'gay bashers'. What if she'd fallen in love with her cocker spaniel? Is
that an alternative lifestyle? (By the way, the Bible speaks against that,
too.)
--Jim Neugent
Here is ABC's reply from the ABC on-line webmaster:
How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book
of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and
read the declaration of independence (what our nation is built on) where
it says "All Men are Created equal" --and try treating them that way for a
change! Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic
book of stories as your lame crutch for your existence. You are in minority
in this country and your boycott will not affect us or our freedom of
expression.
Jim Neugent's second response to ABC:
Thanks for your reply. From your harsh reply, evidently I hit a nerve. I
will share it with all with whom I come in contact. Hopefully, the Arkansas
Democrat Newspaper will include it in one of their columns and I will be
praying for you.
-Jim Neugent
Note: Wouldn't Satan just love it if people stopped using the Bible for a
crutch?
Thanks,
Jim Neugent

Thursday December 19:
The morning started out great I meet Norma, Tracy and Erin T. and her little boys at town for breakfast where we had a blast talking about Tracy plans of marriage to Destry.. Then we all decided to go to Wal-Mart to get Tracy some type of booklet so she could begin her Wedding planning journal, As I pulled into WalMart I realized I had a voice mail on my mobile as I was parking and checking my voice mail life turned upside down..It was my FIL saying he was sick and needed a ambulance to take him to the hospital. My heart did a flip when I realized the message was a hour old. Norma and Tracy left their cars at WalMart, I called DH and he called for a ambulance and we were all on our way to FIL's home.. I asked Tracy to call a local RN that lives in FIL's home town and ask her to meet us there which she did.. Thanks Bobby Lou.. To make Long story short we got a ambulance to take him to the VA hospital in OKC with all of us following behind.. We picked Tiffani up at her work on our way to the City.. After a very long day FIL was dignosed with pneumonia. With the mass and the influnenza he has a battle ahead of him.. He was stable on oxygen and antobitics ~SP??~ when we left at 9:30 so we could return in time to see the doctor in the morning. A big THANKS to NORMA, Tracy, Tiffani and DH for helping make this day bearable.. HUGS
PLEASE REMEMBER HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS.

Kassi came out today for about 1 1/2 hours. DH and I got in from OKC about 10 pm we are both very tired.. He has to work tomorrow so I will be going back to see FIL when Tiff gets off work at noon.. Nite all.

Saturday-8: "Jesus of Nazareth"
- Based on your own belief and faith: Who is Jesus?
***Jesus is the son of God***
- When was the first time you heard about That Name?
***Since I was a small child***
- If your first language is not English, or if you knew other language than English: How do you spell and pronounce "Jesus"?
***I have no idea***
- What is His best physical feature, based on the pictures you see?
***Eyes***
- If Jesus still lived on earth today, what do you think He might be wearing?
***Not name brand***
- Do you believe in Angels? Explain.
***Yes, I believe in the word of God (BIBLE) and it speaks of angels so how could I not believe in ANGELS***
- What is your religion? Do you practice it?
***Baptist and Yes***
- If you had a chance to have a dinner with God - just you and God - what is the main personal thing you want to ask from Him? What would be the first question you might ask Him?
***I hope that I would listen to what he has to say and not ask anything.***

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Christmas Eve Tiffani, Kevin and Tracy joined us for supper.. Kevin cooked steaks then we settled in for a game of rummy.. Then Destry came out about 9 pm he had been with his friends which is his Christmas Eve tradition. After he ate he joined us in a game of rummy. Christmas day the girls and their men got here about 8am and we exchanged and opened gifts. Tracy's leather coat we got her is to small so she will have to exchange that. Tiffs gift were keepers.. Whew.. The girls got their dad a wench for his four wheeler. He loved it.. They got me a little baby dirt devil so I can clean up the furniture easier.. plus a bag for my four wheeler, house shoes and perfume. Thanks girls.
We had lunch about 12:30 pm those joining us for lunch were: Both girls and their men, FIL, David and Robin.
DH's brother and sister-in-law Jim and Carolyn, two of my siblings Carol and Bill stopped by to visit awhile, Carol came back Christmas night and joined in on playing cards. Destry and Tracy brought Brooklyn over about 3 pm so she could open her gifts from her dad ~ Destry ~ but they had to have her back to her mom by 5:30. Everyone left at 10 pm with the many Christmas memories to hold through out the coming year.
WE ARE BLESSED. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME

1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?
Sharing my journal.
2. What was your biggest disappointment?
Not being able to get the new DSL that is offered in this area.
3. Will you be making any New Year's resolutions?
Probably not I haven't stuck with any I made in the past..
4. Where will you be at midnight? Do you wish you could be somewhere else?
Home and that is where I want to be. Parties on New Year's Eve are a thing of the past.
5. Aside from (possibly) staying up late, do you have any other New Year's traditions?
None. When my Mom was alive her and my Dad use to host a New Year's Eve gathering of their Bluegrass friends and family.. When she passed away so did the gatherings. No new tradition has been adopted. BORING that is what I am..  Last night I tried to make something new for my two girls. Tiffani is brown haired and Tracy is a blonde.... They will get a kick of these little dolls. My girls are the joy of my life.
Way to go Cowboys.. Final score was Cowboys 33 over Southern Mississippi 23.

I did speak to one that FIL has been real generous in his gift to them and the least they could do is come back to see him other than at Christmas time. But I am sure it ran off the shoulders without leaving a drop of moisture.. Sometimes I want to scream and say HELLO He may not be with us much longer don't regret not spending time with him..

Just a short entry today that my Aunt Berniece passed away early this morning. My prayers are with her sons and their family. May she rest in peace.
My aunt faught a good fight with cancer. Hers was wide spread before it was dignosed. I adopted this little ribbon to remind myself of others like my FIL that have lung cancer.

GO SOONERS!!*This-or-That* Tuesday
1. Stay in or go out on New Year's Eve?
Both we got out for dinner and then come back home usually and that is what is planned tonight.
2. If you stay home, do you stay up to ring in the new year, or fall asleep earlier?
If we have company, which we plan on having company tonight, we stay up but I have know of times when DH falls asleep watching T.V. if it is just us.
3. If you go out, do you prefer to attend a party at someone's home, or go to a bar/nightclub/restaurant?
To celebrate the coming in of the new Year I would rather be at home if not home then at someone elses home. We have done the big party thing over the years but we don't anymore.
4. Make resolutions, or do you not bother?
I always make atleast one. Haaahee! My main resolution is to walk closer to God.
5. Ever been to Times Square (New York City) on New Year's Eve, or just watched the ball drop on TV?
I have never been to New York but have watched it on TV. I am not sure that I would enjoy being in New York on new years eve.
6. Toast the New Year with champagne or a soft drink?
Usually soft drink or coffee LOL
7. Do you have a special New Year's dinner or not?
Special Anytime I get to go out to eat instead of cooking it is special.
8. Do you already have your 2003 calendar, or do you wait to buy one until the stores mark them down?
I already have 2003 calendars companys give them away here as advertisement so I see no need to buy one.
9. Take down Christmas decorations: before or after New Year's?
Usually they are down by now but this year some of the small decorations are still out.. Maybe before the day is over I will get them down, boxed and put away.
10. Funny hats and noisemakers, or a quieter celebration?
I would rather not wear the hats.. Our will be a quieter celebration. We will probably be playing cards at midnight.. Hope I win..:O)
Wishing all my family and on line friends a Happy New Year.
