Monday

I had Bible Reading Time this morning and it was wonderful.  We worked on Revelation 4.  The symbolism in Revelation is something.  It sure makes you think!  I looked up the artwork that resulted in interpretations of this chapter.  There's a lot of interpretations!!  Very interesting.

This afternoon I worked on cutting out my cards for Wednesday night's class.  I think I got everything cut out, so tomorrow I'll get it all organized.

Sunday

This was a wonderful day.  I had two firsts:  I got to meet my great, great nephew, Blaise Benning AND I got to see an Indigo Bunting, which I've only seen in pictures.  I was impressed by both of them, but especially little Baby B!  He's such a cutie!

Our open house is over and we had a great trip to Waverly and back.  The day was a success!

Saturday

I'm glad we're going to church tomorrow because I'm confused about what day it is.  Dave worked this morning, at least until it started raining.  I went to a funeral in Douds.  I went the long way there and I was almost late.  About half way through the funeral, the rain hit...and boy, did it hit!  When the funeral was over, the family and those who were going to the cemetery stayed for a while, but several of us left.  I got pretty wet just getting to the car.  I was glad I had gone though.  The family was happy to see me.  I grew up with their boys, even though they lived in Selma and we lived in Libertyville.  Ron is older than me by a year and Duane is 1-2 years younger than me.  Then they had another son that is several years younger.  We always had a Christmas with the Sprouses...one of 5 Christmases we had when I was a kid.  We had Santa Claus Christmas, the Allison Christmas, the Peebler Christmas, the Burke Christmas and the Sprouse Christmas.  Mostly it was just getting together with "family" even though they weren't technically family!

This afternoon, we took naps and this evening we went to Tasty Burrito for supper.  They are really, really good burritos!!

Friday

I had a good day today.  I worked on finishing up some loose ends I've had around here.  I got the bank accounts all reconciled.  Dave came home just long enough to help take our old paperwork to Financial Partners where they had a shredding party today...and we had a free hotdog for lunch, too!  Then he went back to work and I worked on some of the cards I had only half finished and I got some ideas for next week's cards.  I also made a card for Kyle's little guy, Blaise - my great, great nephew!  Here is his card:

Isn't it cute?  This is made from all SU products.  The paper is shades of Lost Lagoon, one of the new colors, as well as Hello Honey.  I stamped in those two colors and "cut" the onsie, duck, and banner out with framelits.  I love the fact that SU is making framelits (or dies) to go with lots of their stamps.  Since I shake so badly, I just can't cut things out...but I can put the framelit on my magnetic board and run it thru the Big Shot with no problem!  I love this card!

Thursday already??

I can't believe that it's Thursday already!!  Dave woke me up at 6:45 this morning!  Needless to say, I wasn't very happy with him.  It's not that I don't want to tell him to have a good day, but I just don't want to tell him that at 6:45!  I can call him when I wake up!  He keeps talking about going down to Florida and that tomorrow we could be at the Legion by the water.  I think he really misses it!  Maybe he truly is ready to retire for good!

I didn't do much today.  I had a headache this afternoon, so I went upstairs to lie down for a bit.  That helped, but I didn't take a nap and I should have.  I still haven't caught up from Tuesday!  My headache was bad enough that I didn't even want to go watch Allison play ball tonight.

Now Dave's sleeping in his chair and I'm just waiting for the clock to say 10 before I go up to bed - how boring is that!?!

I have to get up early again tomorrow because my cleaning lady will be here at 8:00.  Since we've got an open house on Sunday, we wanted her to do a thorough job of cleaning tomorrow.  I've already told Dave he's to take his shoes off before he comes in the door tomorrow night!

Wednesday

We had a long, boring day at the Advanced Tech building on the IHCC campus yesterday.  We had to be there at 6 AM and didn't get out of there until 9:15 PM!!  Then we had to take the ballots down to the courthouse and get things out of the car in the pouring rain, get on the elevator and return everything to the auditor's office.   That's a long day!  We only had 68 voters.  There are over 500 registered voters in the Dahlonega Township, but only 68 voted in yesterday's primary - not a very good percentage!  Thank goodness we took things to do and thank goodness Mary Lou and Jim are talkers, or I'd have been asleep somewhere around 3:00 PM!  As it was, only Jim took a little nap in his chair - and it was just a little nap, because there were lots of students roaming around.  That is over now until next year because I won't be here for the November election so I won't get to work it.

Dave told Golden Furrow people that he was done working after this summer.  He's planning to take his social security and retire once and for all - woohoo!  He's  sore and tired from working this summer.  He has been asleep in his chair since about 7 tonight!

I even took a nap today.  I was just too tired to stay awake any longer.  Unfortunately the phone rang twice, once just 10 minutes after I put my book down....grrrrr!  I finally got up and did some paperwork (which I still didn't get all the way through).  I guess there's always tomorrow!

I don't like Mediacom!!

Mediacom sure does have problems.  Many times I've wished that we hadn't changed to them for our internet service.  Every 2 or 3 minutes, you can't get a signal.  They're talking about increasing our speed, but first they need to increase their reliability.  It's very aggravating to be doing something and then lose your connection.

Tomorrow I work the election so I won't be on here unless I decide to take my computer.  We'll see!
