THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

WELL, SINCE I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN SO LONG I THINK EVERYONE WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS ONE.
PROBABLY NO ONE WILL READ IT. SHAME ON ME.
PA GOT HOME FROM A BEAR HUNT FRIDAY NIGHT. IT WAS TOO HOT UP NORTH 101 AND NO AIR.
NO BEAR & NO FUN. WELL, MAYBE A LITTLE FUN.
SATURDAY I RENTED THE BLACKBERRY HOUSE AND ON SATURDAY NIGHT PA SOLD A TRACTOR. WE HAD TO DELIVER IT TO CLINTONVILLE, PA. IT WAS A TWO HOUR DRIVE. THINGS DIDN'T GO WELL FOR PA ON THE WAY THERE HE FORGET HIS KEYS. HE WAS AFRAID THE TRACTOR WOULDN'T START AFTER HE FOUND OUT THEY HADN'T STARTED IT IN AWHILE. AND THERE WAS A LEAK OF OIL ON THE TRACTOR. SO OFF WE WENT TO CLINTONVILLE. WE GOT LOST EVEN WITH JANE AND I HAD TO CALL THE GUY TO HELP ME GET THERE. JANE DOES NOT KNOW ALL THE ROADS IN CLINTONVILLE. WELL WE GOT THERE AND WE PULLED INTO AN AMISH HOUSE AND DAD ASKED FOR MARVIN AND LO AND BEHOLD IT WAS HIS TRACTOR BUYER. I SAID TO MARVIN ARE YOU ALLOWED TO HAVE A TRACTOR. PA GULPED. HE HE HA HA. WELL MARVIN TOLD ME HE COULD. I'M NOT SURE YET & I'LL TELL YOU WHY LATER.

I HAVE TO INSERT THE ANSWER HERE. THE GIRLS TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO MOW THEIR LAWN BY HAND PUSH MOWER THAT THE TRACTOR THEIR DAD WAS BUYING COULD NOT BE USED ON THE LAWN ONLY ON THE PATHS IN THE WOODS. THEIR DAD WAS A HOT ROD ON THE TRACTOR.

WELL, WHILE THE GUYS CHECKED OUT THE TRACTOR AND PA, THE AMISH GUY AND HIS SON I HAD THREE LITTLE AMISH GIRLS TALKING TO ME. THE OLDEST ONE WAS SARAH, VERY PRETTY. THE SEVEN YEAR OLD WAS KRISTINA, CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE WAS SMILING AT ME ALL THE TIME. SARAH SAID SHE IS VERY GOOD WHEN PEOPLE ARE AROUND BUT SHE IS A MICHIEF MAKER WHEN THEY ARE GONE. (I KNEW THAT JUST BY HER NAME) THE YOUNGEST WAS CLARA WHO COULDN'T KEEP HER EYES OFF ME. THEY WERE THE SAME BLUE EYES THAT I HAVE. THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT COLOR MY HAIR WAS AND I TOLD THEM THAT MY HAIR USED TO BE BROWN JUST LIKE THEIRS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WISHED THEIR HAIR WAS BLACK.
NOW WE EXCHANGED STORIES ABOUT FARMING - HUNTING IN WHYOMING - PLAYING - DRESSING - EATING - SCHOOL - HORSES AND PONIES - FOOD = SHOPPING. PULLING THEIR SISTER IN WAGONS. SWIMMING. CHRISTMAS & THANKSGIVING. I HAD THE BEST TIME I GRINNED AND LAUGHED ALL THE WAY HOME.

NOW IF ELYSE AND EVE WOULD LIKE TO GO VISIT THEM WHEN THEY ARE HERE PA WILL CALL THEIR DAD AND SEE IF WE CAN GO OVER.

I READ KATIE'S POST AND LOOKED A KAYLA'S PICTURE AND JUST GRINNED. ENJOY KATIE
PA WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HAD THE COLD AIR IN CANADA.

LOLO AND GRAMMA BROWN JOINED US AT MEXICO FOR LUNCH FOR KRIS'S BIRTHDAY. WE ALL ENJOYED IT. I AM GOING TO WORK MEMEORIAL DAY SO THAT I CAN MAKE THE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS WE HAVE ON THURSDAY. BUT THE BEST PART OF THAT IS THAT WE WILL JOIN KATHY AND MARK AND LOLO FOR LUNCH. HOT DOGS ON THE GRILL VEGAN STYLE!
WE ARE PICKING LAUREN UP AT HER FRIENDS IN THE MORNING SO I WILL HAVE GREAT COMPANY ON MY WAY TO WORK. YEA!

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY BLOG.

Eclipse

Well, I really did love the third book of the twilight series. I stayed up way to late to finish it. Pa didn't like it much since I didn't talk to him while I had my nose it the book. I still am waiting to see New Moon at the movies. By the way have any of you girls watched Eastwick on television at 10:00 on Wednesday night. I enjoy it. I do not know what I'm allowed to blog about I'm excited to shop for houses but it might be over. I orderd Elyse and Eva's Christmas present and it should be delivered in three to eight days. I want pictures! Kathy said she likes big doors. I told her to wait till she see's Kelly's. I am going to miss everyone for Christmas but I am looking forward to Eva's birthday. Of course it will be Katie and Laurens also. But for now Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

CHRISTMAS-THANKSGIVING-TWILIGHT

THE WEEKEND WAS GREAT WITH A LOVELY CHRISMAS & THANKSGIVING WITH A LOVELY FAMILY.
WE SURE HAD A GREAT TIME. I HAD A NICE TIME MONDAY WITH KATHY FINDING HER NEW HOUSE.
TOO BAD WE COULDN'T GET IN. KATIE BROUGHT HOME TWILIGHT SO WE SPENT MONDAY NIGHT
WATCHING A GREAT LOVE STORY. LOTS OF WORK THIS WEEK. HOPE KATHY ENJOYS HER CHRISMAS
AS IT ARRIVED ON HER PORCH TODAY. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

New Moon

Ok all you twilight fans of mine. I want to announce that I read New Moon so now I am ready to see the movies. Blackberry house is getting closer. I should be working now but I'm not. I'm excited for Sunday. It sounds like a great day.
Christmas and Thanksgiving all rolled into one. Fun Fun Fun! Monday I will be
in Cleveland and we will have lunch at Panara Bread. One of my girls will be there, opps two of my girls will be there. Love to all!

A SURPRISE

Now a lot of people like surprises but not me. My children like to surprise me and now my grandchildren like to surprise me. So I guess; I get help to find out what my surprise is but then I did not think it was a surprise but more of announcement. Sometimes my imagination gets a little far out, it so appears. Now one would think that all the people involved to make a surprise would keep my thoughts a secret but that is not so. Everyone knows what my surprise is and everyone knows what I think the surprise is. Except me I knew nothing! Now I'll have to admit it was a nice surprise. I am sure glad I made time for it to happen. Of course if I had known what the surprise was I'm sure I would have enjoyed it just as much. All in all thanks for making my life more interesting. My life just sparkles with three caret diamonds. A great time was enjoyed by all.

Another Update!

Well, the Blackberry house is coming along. Pa is working hard on it and trys to get something else done everyday. On the other hand I've been too busy to do much. I still have a lot of caulking to do.

Pa won the High Veteran Title for the summer league. He also won the preseason shoot for the league. He won two trophy's. This was his best season ever. I'm very proud of him = I on the other hand got nothing. These were presented at a banquet.

We have been having a lot of shoots even though the summer shoots are over. I am ready to slow down. But that is not happening.

I saw Amy Rockhill today at Mexico. She is one hot chick. Slim and Sharp.

I saw Shawn also today he could be her father.

This is just for whom ever is interested.

Yes We Went to Austin!

I haven't blogged since We went to Austin so I thought I'd start with that blog and catch everyone up on a great vacation.

We had a lovely dinner somewhere high over looking Austin and the Lake. Pa enjoyed his steak on his seventy birthday. He is now officially old!

We enjoyed Elyse and Eva and had a great trip to Sea world. Only on the way out did we realize how much more we could have seen. I guess that leaves way for another trip! Eva and Gram ma Pat are naughty girls & I think we will leave it at that. We really had a great time. Eva & I enjoyed a great four hour nap but the downside was I slept through Elyse's riding lesson. I
really thought Eva did so great in ballet but I hear she has put that on the back burner for now.

Elyse was a little ill so her and Pa did not get as many trips after school and as they would have liked. I think they enjoyed their banana splits.

Our trip was shorter than usual as we arrived later and left earlier. We will have to fix that next time. Eva enjoyed Cabella's & Pa and Kelly did very well on their shopping. We also tested some awesome fudge. I'm glad we were there to see the house almost done so I understand everything Kelly is telling me.

I would recommend everyone flying to Austin to go through Nashville as it is a very friendly airport if you are flying Southwest. Next time I will have a longer stay over as to get to enjoy a little time with Katie.

Upon arriving home we had our Union Gun Shoot the next day. I might brag as I was the only one of our group to bring home a gun. I won Ladies. There were not a lot of ladies in this finale shoot but they were good shooters and I shot a 92 out of 100 to win this class.

Now, this will end my blog. I will update this blog in a day or two.
