Farmville, New Truck and a Football Game!

I have been neglecting my blog because I am hooked on Farmville in Facebook! I go on there even when I am supposed to be working!

Things are pretty quiet around here lately. Feeling fine after my surgery. I have a follow-up with the doctor on Monday for the results. Or I could call them today but I think I will wait. I am in no rush to know..it is what it is, you know?

Chris and Marissa are supposed to come over tonight to show us their new truck and go to dinner with us. I hope they do because it's been a few weeks since we've seen them. They are considering buying a house in Houghton Lake, which is about 2-1/2 hours north of us. It's a good deal, they will get alot of house and land for their money. They both work down here though, so they may be spending the weekdays down here and going up there for the weekend!

Saturday my brothers step-daughter is going to be on the homecoming queens' court. They are excited. My brother has to wear a suit and walk her out onto the field. They invited us to go see her so we will be doing that on Saturday. Even if it means sitting through a (boring!!) football game!

That's all that's exciting around here. Excuse me while I go to my farm!

In Memory Of Ben

My dear friend, Sally, is having a giveaway at her blog Whispering Hope to honor the memory of her grandson, Ben, who they lost in a tragic Moto cross accident one year ago on Wednesday. She's giving $100 towards a new skateboard. If you have someone who loves to skateboard go visit Sally and enter the giveaway.


And if you don't, go visit her anyway cuz she's the sweetest person you could ever want to know!

In Memory

Labor Day Weekend

These three day weekends sure do fly by!

Saturday we went to the Pinnacle Race Track with my brother and sis-in-law. The race track is very close to Metro airport so the planes fly over pretty low.



Here is one of the horses I bet on, #5 and her jockey.



Her name is TakesTwoToTango. I bet $2 for her to place (second or third) and she came in fourth. Bummer. I ended the day down $4.20. Yep, last of the big betters! It was fun just to sit there and have dinner and watch the races.

Sunday Rich and I went to Lakeport State Park.

It was beautiful out and pretty crowded. We brought a picnic lunch and went up and down the beach with our metal detector. Did not find a thing. Then we started scanning the volley ball court, which was away from the beach and empty, and we found 14 pennies! Woo hoo!

Monday was a completely lazy day.

Now it's back to work. At least it's a short week.

Happy 09/09/09 to everyone!!

The Brenda Photo Challenge - The Color Purple

One of my favorite movies ever! If I need a good cry, this is the movie to watch!


My son's stuffed bunny from when he was a child..his name is Barney!


Tiny little flower.


Going green, with purple!

Go HERE to see more great color purple photos!

Hump Day (This is probably 5th time I've used this title!)

Today I drove my car to work, got to leave early, and was home by 5:30. Riding the bus was nice and comfortable but having my car there is so much more comfortable!

We took a nice walk by a local lake on Sunday. The sky was awesome and the little lake looked so nice.



We have nothing planned for this 3-day weekend so far. We may go to Lakeport State Park on Lake Huron with the metal detector to see if we can beat our last weeks take of 2 cents!

That's all for now. I will leave you with a little embarrassing typo in the flyer we received yesterday. It's a little blurry but you get the idea!
