THE WEEKEND

What state are you in juju?...just wondering.

I'm thinking I need to be bark dusting to protect plants...making an outdoor Christmas card for the lawn...help me cut down on Christmas lights and having to string them up...wish they'd make big plastic Christmas Scenes for us, inexpenisve ones...so all we had to do was roll out the plastic an tack it on an board painted the color we'd like...set up an spot light or two and be done with it all. Probably waste it..the weekend...I'm getting in one of thsoe moods to do so.

By Sunday it starts raining for an solid week here until next weekend..I hope they mean showers and not constant rain. I already got an surprise this monring...I woke up to hubby here and my grandson, one was sick, the other had taken the day off...he was going to take grandson to an scout outting tomarrow, but don' tthink they are doing it now. I seem to be the last to  know around here any more. Hum....

That's what freinds use to be like everyday. I had an neighbor one time that never passed up giving us an plate of brownies that she made when making them for her boys. She would say...there's only the two of you.... and your both always working. She was my son's first babysitter. I was in need of diapers one day and she said...let me take care of him... and you run to the store an get them Shirley...you know I've got expereince with boys...so I let her. I always though she'd make th emost wonderful mother in-law. She was all enthrailed with him. So were the ladies in the Elks Lodge. Hubby had taken him there one day, and I was going to meet him there and I could hear him crying, so I went an picked him up, he stopped crying instantly...all the ladies were smiling....and one of them said....true "mother" she can find her infant by his sound amoung the crowd. I'd say she passed the test ladies.He was my gift from God you know.. still firmly beleive he watches over him. I think maybe an attonment from losing an infant child in an previous life perhaps.

I better get going, I keep passing the button store for some reason...and I need the bottons..I looked in another store and they didnt' have gray ones the right color.

" I'm leaving on a clear path to greener and beautiful sky's" Enjoy the day

Well, people it's snowing in Montana tonight...first snow of the season. Lelsie at the 7,000 foot level above Denver... is expecting her first snow this weekend...today the freezing level on Mt. Hood was at the 8,000 foot level..it's an little over 11,000 feet. It's coming!!!  I have tried to prepare an bit...but there seems like there is always something needing done. Trees are turning. My check list gets less on the tasks to get done...I'm buyng more books to read now also. Been cooking some comfort good this week. but I'll need to get back on an diet routine also..I've been off it an couple of weeks. Churches are posting for "crafters" now for thier Christmas Bazzars also. I feel an nice warm crackling  fire coming on maybe tonight also...it's still raining but ever so lightly.. Godo time to go get some apple cider and put the allspice in it..Catch you all later on.

Got a 3-day weekend this week, woo-hoo!  Monday is Columbus Day, commemorating the day in 1492 when Christopher Columbus "discovered" America.  That date is regarded by historians as the date of the first Europeans arriving in the the New World, although anybody knows that the Vikings probably landed in Canada in the 10th century, and St. Brendan and his little band of Irish monks probably stopped by here in the 6th century.  :-)  The Indian tribes of the Americas would view it as the beginning of the Eurpoean invasion.

I'm just going to kick back and relax, do a little cleaning and reading.  Last Sunday I was in my pool and the water was 80°, but after the cool week we've had and the rain, it's now under 70°.  Brrr.  This time of year, it doesn't get warm enough during the day to heat it up again, so I guess the pool's done for this year.
