The Greening

I had planned on the traditional tree. The one we get from lowes on Christmas eve for five dollars. But had to break the tradition this year. As all the kids are coming here for Christmas and none of them have put up trees, had to get one up before they got here.

Now everyone knows that this is the Christmas were we aren't spending any money, so Renee suggested we bring her tree to our house and put it up. A free tree, what could be better. She didn't tell me it was eight feet and really big. It was in two really really big containers. I should of known.

It had letters on the limbs that I was to put on the tree alphabetically. It didn't start with A, so I had a bit of a problem. As I am putting it up it looks well, kind of strange. I called Renee for instruction. Seems I was putting the bottom on the top.

The tree is up and ready for the little lambs to come and decorate it.

The Border is Up

After several months of trying to decide the best location for the border, it's finally up. I wasn't able to decide where to put it so I just said here and away we went.




Thank you Terry for putting it up. I was some help. I watched and told him where the bubbles were. It makes the house seem more mine




The pictures are a little dark because its dark and rainy outside.

































My sheep have come home

I have become a conspiriter

I have always had a bit of rebellion in me. This Christmas I am going to try to stay out of the stores. I know the country is making the call for everyone to get out and spend but I have joined a conspiracy. Let's take back Christmas.

Please keep the workers of DHL in Wilmington and surrounding areas in your prayers. Around 8,000 will be with out jobs. Many of these workers live in our community and attend our church. This will make a huge impact on our town.

Preparing for a bad day

Just got back from the grocery store. I saw the price tag on eggs, 2.29 a dozen. I got online to check out powdered eggs. I found this site it was interesting reading. The Bible says we should not worry about the future but that we should also be prepared.

Anyone know where I can get dried eggs. I know the government has some because they bought up eggs from the farmer so we could pay more for the eggs. I can't find anywhere where they will sell me any.

I really am thinking of getting two chickens. I got the space.

It's Official

I am here to tell you that it's official. Fall is here. I pulled out all my winter clothes. I found some lost boxes. I have put all my summer and spring clothes away. Well except for a few things, just in case. Fall doesn't really come until the fall and winter clothes are out. Now in a few days it will be 90 degrees outside. It always happens that way. Oh well I am ready I kept my swimsuit out and a pair of shorts.

Free Drugs

Dear SIL called and said that the Rite Aid had a great deal. You buy the stuff on special and they give you a rebate. All this is free. Yep free. If you have a Rite Aid near you check into the program. Amost 80 Dollars of stuff here.

I am ready for anything now.
