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.

THE END!
Well, Katie painted today and only Pa got to enjoy her company as I had to run around taking Kris places and doing the job thing. They did some more woodwork done but Katie I'll have to make pa take off the quarter round. It was great that she came out because I'd have had to give her Christmas present some other time. Maybe mailed it after she got lost on her way to Nashville.
It is hard to believe school is already starting. It is hard to believe that we have more work on the house. We are going away with Norm & Cricket on friday. So we are taking a day off. We are going to Cabella's in West Virginia and probably stopping by the casino. I think it is a one day trip but we maybe staying overnight(not sure)
It is 1:00 AM and I'm just getting my work done. Well back to the grind.

I lost a post into cyber space!
So I will try again. Saturday Lauren came at 8:30 and was ready to go to work. I had six windows ready to paint and only two more to prep and she had to wait for me to get my work done. Can that girl paint.
Now I need my girls back to do the baseboard work in the dining room and living room. I sure
hope they stop by tuesday! Well today we shot at the Albion Corn Shoot and I didn't do much. Pa on the other hand took home the Vet trophy. It is on the mantel and it looks real sharp. Wish that there were a matching pair on the mantel but there is only one.
I'm taking gramma Brown to the Doctor to get some things removed from her arms. I'll be leaving in the morning but I can be reached by car phone.

I NEED WORKERS!
Well, today we painted some more. Pa is working in the basement hallway and I'm prepping windows. Only two left to prep. I need window painters! Remember they are WHITE! Katie you didn't get the quarter rounds off the dining room. You really need to come back and get that off of the walls (you know that is your job.
Shot tonight in a wind storm and then after we shot the rain came. Pa did great with a 47 and I
did bad with a 39. Our club won so we only have one more team to beat before the shoot off.
I wonder when lolo is coming out! Haven't heard yet. Hope she brings Katie with her.
Good job buying books Elyse (Gramma Brown would have been proud of you.)

Our Katie!
Well this weekend started pretty normal. I had volunteered to take my Indian friends to
Grove City since I didn't have to go to Youngstown. It was a long day and I'm tired after
a 9 to 6 trip. On the other hand my workers - Pa - Katie - & Lauren worked a whole 2 hours. I guess they were just too tired.
Day 2 (Saturday-The slave driver gets them up and 9 and after getting supplies at the store we were ready to get started. Lauren said, "I want to finish the windows in the basement, & I thought this was a great idea. Pa had stayed at McDonald's to talk to a friend. Katie was in the kitchen getting ready to paint and I had went back to the car to get something. It is Texas hot today & as I came back into the kitchen Kate is standing in a pool of paint (the paint was up to her knees sort of like a criss cross desige) the can in her handand saying Lauren and Pa did not put the lid on. The long water hose was also entangled in this scene. I said Katie, I'll get the water hose out of your way so I gathered it up and took it outside to clean up. Of course Lauren
had joined this mess & so when I came back in I told her she was probably better off back in the basement and she agreed and quickly disappeared. In the mean time Katie called Pa and asked him out to clean up paint on the floor & he told her to mop it up but the next thing she said was, No Pa I Mean a Lot Of Paint! He advised her to get a big paint brush and a dust pan and sweep it into it and throw it a way. Yes the day didn't start to well but my kitchen floor is getting cleaner all the time.
A friend from Albion stopped by to look at the house and was advised to wait for the cleanup to get along a little more. My hose is cleaner & whiter and that is a good thing. Our day got started
and we really do not know for sure who left the paint can lid loose. I'm sure Katie knows who did it. Now our Katie does not swear and she never has a temper I think we all would agree to this but (I think she does have a temper and I think her swear word might be (Lauren Lauren Lauren) With a Pa thrown in there as well.
Well the sad part of the day is that our girls are gone. They took their money and left. They thanked us for the job & I know they worked hard and learned some new skills the help to us was beyond great. We will never forget this summer! It was wonderful !!!!! I just keep hoping they will come back and paint the windows. hint
Now it is Sunday - Team shoot in Saegertown. I put $5.00 on Pa for high gun. I did not tell him because I didn't want to put pressure on him. I should have! He shot a 46 - which included a handicap shoot. So he shot well and tied for second on the high gun and won $3.75. I think I lost but it was fun. I only shot a 41, I struggled all day. It was too hot and rough way to go. We had a great dinner but no air conditioning.
Well, Monday is coming. Love You Katie!! You make my days!
