Hey, where is my caffeine ? I wondered why I was so sleepy about 5 pm tonight. I see now, Mom bought decaffeinated coffee! Now I will have to go to bed early tonight.

Below is my MySpace blog for tonight.

You should hear Sis squeal when she feels a puppy kicking in Mommie's belly, and boy, do they kick! You would think she has never had puppies around before. Even after about 18 litters of puppies, she still feels like a new mommie herself. I guess it is because it is her dog this time.

She has spent 3 days washing down and cleaning out the pool so we can fold it up and put it away for the winter. I told her to notice how hard she is working to take care of her pool. It makes a difference how you take care of your things when you have to sacrifice and save to buy it. If we had bought that pool for her, I doubt she would be taking such good care of it.

Below is a copy of what I posted on my blog at MySpace. Jeanie told me that you have to sign up for a page to see my photos that I post there. She signed up a while ago to see one of her friends pictures so I accepted her as a friend and she can see my photos. I like to post at MySpace because some of my 'friends' are Jeana, Andrea, Rachel, Jeanie, David, Greg, Jessica, and I even found Ronnie, Frans son on there. Oh, by the way, he is 24, married with 2 kids now. All my 'friends' can see what I posted and I can see everything new on their pages, like blogs, pictures, bullitens and who they have for 'friends'. If you would like, or if you don't know how, I can sign you up and tell you what your password is.


Finally, a moment to sit down. The dishes are done, the animals (2 legged and 4 legged) are fed and the fire is banked. Now I get a moment to myself.
After church this morning we went home and changed out of our "Sunday clothes" and fixed leftovers for lunch then went to the shop. Sis and her friend helped paint signs while I cut out some more. I will post some photos of the signs when I get them varnished. It was really hot today but we made it through. Had Hamburger Helper and a salad for supper. On Sunday evenings we usually share the job of doing the dishes. I am really thankful for the help. Dad does the silverware, I do the glasses, cups and plates and Sis finishes up with the pots and pans. Works great for us.

We decided the drain the pool tonight. It really got too far gone to swim in it anymore. It would have to be drained and refilled to be able to swim anymore this year and we didn't want to do that this late in the year so we'll just put it away for this year. It sure was nice the few times I got to get in it, will be looking forward to putting it up again next year.

Andrea commented on some photos that I uploaded to my MySpace page. Look for the 'View my pics' button in the first dark red box.

I'm gonna feed this girl some coffee more often! She cleaned up the laundry room and if anybody knows, that laundry room is always so bad you just don't want to go in there. It looks great now. She mopped my kitchen floor! Say bye-bye to the messy spots in front of the refrigerator, the spill that has been by the table for the last 3 weeks and the puppy pee that I didn't get cleaned up in time. Wait, thats not all! She wiped down all my white kitchen cabinets, wiped the shelf under the table and went right from there to clean the bathtub. I'm going to kiss that kid!

Here is one of the patterns I am doing for a sign this week. It seems to be a popular sign.

For todays blog post you must visit my MySpace page and find the latest blog and click on it.

Sarah sent me this picture from her cell phone to mine. She took it outside where she works. I thought it was beautiful. It is my desktop background now. Not bad for a cell phone.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning down by the Ohio River! Little sister and big (she thinks) daughter

I posted these from Dad's high speed internet but this is all I got done before Terry was there to pick me up. Your little boy is growing up, Lois.
