The Danial Boone Festival has come and gone, I didn't go, I didn't feel well this time, but we did drive downtown going to Mom's a couple of nights ago. I saw a cotton candy stand and commented that I'd like to have some. But to get some we'd have had to have found a place to park and it was just too much hassle. On the way back however, first time I'd ever seen this happen, a man was standing there in the street, holding his big bags of pink cotton candy. We bought a bag without even having to get out of the car. How cool was that? We got home and I put it on the arm of the couch, intending to eat some while watching tv. Before I could get back in there, I heard the girls come in. They'd been to the fair, riding the rides. I heard Dippy say, "You better not eat that, that's your Mammy's cotton candy"... I heard Mikyla's reply, "Oh Dippy, I'm her whole world, she doesn't care if I eat her cotton candy." She ate my cotton candy. All of it. *laughs* How could I mind though? After all, she (and the other little ones) IS (are)my whole world.
Bonnie is going to be going to day shift come Monday.. that's tomorrow! I'm so GLAD! Greatful! Thankful! Happy! Now Joel can come and make all the boy noises he needs to make, it'll be fine because it's the waking hours, the girls can sleep at night, I can sleep at night.. oh Happy day, I'm going to pause for a second and do one more Snoopy Dance in celebration...
We've had a busy week...we've painted the bathroom, done some work on the floor in there.. painted the kichen cabinets, and we painted the den. Jana! Finally, it's the cranberry color I wanted in there, and it looks so pretty! I still don't have a battery charger for my camera, but as soon as I get it, I'll take a pic with my pretty afghan you made me in there to show you how nice it looks!
Lisa said she can tell I'm in a Christmas mood because of the colors, but I'm not, not yet... it just worked out to be Christmassy. I love it!
Shan had to have surgery last week.. and the day of her surgery, Mom and I went to the nursing home to check on Papaw, he hadn't been feeling well. We took him some Dumplings and he ate them, said they were the first thing he thought of when he woke up. We stayed a while and then about an hour after we left, he fell trying to get into his chair and broke his hip. He had to have a hip replacement surgery the following day. Ouch! This is twice he's fallen while in there. The first time though he wasn't hurt. the poor guy. His luck hasn't been very good lately.
Bonnie, you're going to love this...Mom said Midge had a dream about me a couple of nights ago, she said in her dream I'd sold her a Marijuana plant for $3.48. She said she didn't remember if she smoked it, but she remembered the price. They all played the number 348 on the pick three lottery last night. I wonder if they won. I bet she's been watching that series "Weeds" on Showtime.
Speaking of Showtime, have any of you watched the new one, "Dexter"? Sheesh, what a series! He's a forensic blood spatter specialist, but also a serial killer. Talk about creepy. The guy playing the part of Dexter is eerie. Downright perfect for the part. Dayam!
A Little on happenings in the news lately. There were three school shootings in one week last week. The first one, an older man went in and killed a young woman, after holding several female students hostage. The second one, someone shot a school principal, and this last one, the children who were killed in an Amish one room school house. I don't understand why people want to do this. All were horrible senseless killings, but the Amish killings were the hardest to hear about. I've never heard of an Amish Terrorist. Never heard of an Amish Murderer, Rapist, Burglar, Stalker, or even an Amish Jay-walker. I'm not saying they're perfect, but don't they just seem to try so hard? And now their families forgive the killer. This is the world we live in and share with our children. This is the way it is, and the way it's going to be until someone figures out a way to make it even uglier. It's a scary thought, isn't it.. that the world is better right now than it's ever apt to be again. Things like that could happen to any of us, to any of our kids. If you think it couldn't, think again. None of us are charmed. None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow. I think "The Village" is looking better and better to me all the time.
