I am sleepy! Bea hasn't slept for more then an hour for the last two nights and I am bushed! Good night.

It is 1 in the morning and I don't think I'll even go to bed tonight. Bea went to bed about 7 tonight but has not been asleep yet, I've had to go calm her down a couple times already and I see no sign of sleep. Looks like it will be a long night. The only good thing is that I have my computer to keep be busy while I have to be awake.

I think Terry got our water fixed this morning. I left Sis at home to help him and she said it was fixed. We need to re-plum the who outfit under the house. Seems like as soon as we get one fixed, it busts some where else.

That big German Shepherd is still here at Bea's, living in the basement. He wants up here in the house real bad but since that doesn't go over very well he'll settle for the basement. I put a found dog ad in the paper that will come out Wednesday. I hope it gets a response.

Well, did I have a premonition or maybe I just go by past experiences? Anyway, I am sure I got my laundry done. We kicked the water pump on tonight and I heard the water spraying and hitting the under side of the floor! I have bottled water to get us through but it sure puts a cramp in flushing.

I don't know where this little bananna came from, I just found it on my computer and thought it was cute.

Brrrr.... it is cold out tonight! We (Sis and I) are at Bea's tonight and I am glad. She has a gas furnace and I can turn it up as high as I want and not have to worry about the bill. It is probable warm at my house too, as long as you are in the living room by the stove. The dogs will appreciate their heat lamps tonight.

Yvonne mentioned doing two days worth of laundry, I was doing laundry the last two days too. I was behind in the laundry department because I was afraid I would run out of water and didn't want to buy a load of water. With all this rain we have been having our cistern was filling up so I grabbed the chance. I want to get it done before the weather turned cold in case the pipes froze too. The drain pipe always freezes when the temp drops. Anyway, what was so funny was that Terry went to the shop yesterday and wanted to know if I was coming out. I said I wanted to get the laundry done first and would be out when I got it done. Well, about 1:30 pm I called him and he ask me what I had been doing all day. I said I was doing laundry just like I said and the last load was in the machine. "Bull-ony!" he exclaimed, "It doesn't take THAT long to do the laundry!!" Sounds just like a man, doesn't it?

When we got to Bea's this morning we were met by a new face. A very large, very skinny, male German Shepherd decided to move in. Now, what? Mom said 'they' told her not to feed him but she couldn't stand seeing a starving dog begging for food through every window so we found something he could eat. Since it will be so cold out tonight we brought him in to the basement. I'll keep you posted, don't know what we are going to do with him.

Now why do I keep finding hickory nuts in my laundry baskets???? Strangest thing, every time I go to do a load of laundry I have to remove the hickory nuts. Any ideas?

Terry found these pictures in a box of junk he bought from a neighbor. They are from the 40's or 50's. I thought they were so pretty.

I found this on Yvonne's blog many months ago and saved it to share someday. I just found it in my files and finished filling it out so I thought I would share it. I have removed a few lines that didn't pertain to me or just couldn't think of an answer so some of the numbers ar out of order and some answers are from way back when I first saved it but basically, it is me.
