Estes Park Vacation

2010-11-16T15:50:00.000-08:00

We went to Estes Park, Colorado for four days! We hiked and shopped and just hung out at our cabin. This is a picture from the front door of our cabin. (I might use it as a Christmas Card!) Becky and Perry ate supper with us Saturday evening and we drove to Fort Collins Sunday evening and had supper with them. We really enjoy them! We already want to go back to Estes Park again! We love it there!

Georgia's Cat "Ashe"

2010-11-01T18:26:00.000-07:00

This is Georgia's cat- "Ashe". Georgia is Levi's girlfriend and we are "babysitting" Ashe until Georgia can find a place to live that accepts cats. I figure we are going to have Ashe a long, long, time. We also have two other cats (Chubby and Blacky) and a dog (Joe Cocker). It is a zoo at our house! Ashe has the loudest meow!! She catches crickets and meows really loud when they quit moving. She's kind of fun...but she's also a pain! She sheds alot! And Chubby and Blacky don't like her. Joe Cocker just stays away from her, but she would love to play with him! She has pretty eyes!

Sing sing sing - Country Joe And The Fish

2010-09-28T18:51:00.000-07:00

Why would I suddenly think of this song after about 40 years? I don't know...but I'm glad I did!

September 2010

Kansas State Football

Den and I at the football game in Manhattan-- KState vs. University of Central Florida. The game was delayed by over an hour due to the weather. We heard that the sirens went off and the clouds swirled above us but we never saw a tornado (thank God!) And we didn't hear the sirens. The game was a sell out-- over 50 thousand people there! Can you imagine 50 thousand people trying to run from a tornado?!? I don't normally go to the games but it was called Family Day at KState so I went with Den to see Levi (who is loving college life!). I took these pics with my Blackberry.

Oh, yeah, Kansas State won the ballgame! Yay!

And A Beautiful Florida Sunset!

This beautiful sunset was a Green Key Beach in Florida. Relena and I took Mom there to visit Ernie and we happpened to go to the beach at the perfect time! We were only in Florida for the weekend (got there Friday around noon and came home Monday around noon).

Sisters

2010-06-07T23:14:00.001-07:00

When I was a little girl I used to play outside in the yard and I'd wait everyday for the newspaper photographer guy to come by and take my picture. He took Relena's picture when she was about 5; she was outside holding her puppy. (I think that was when we lived in Dodge City). And then he took her picture when she was about 8 or 9; she was riding on a sled in the winter and she was on the front page of the Salina Journal and the big heading read "Acres of Snow for an Acre!" Yes, I played outside alot, but for some reason he never came. Isn't that funny!?

Ernie, Relena and I

2010-06-07T23:06:00.000-07:00

I just love this picture of Ernie, Relena and I with our animals! Weren't we cute?!?

KSTATE

2010-04-05T22:10:00.000-07:00

My boy will soon be heading to K STATE! Where
have the years gone? He can't wait to go! He's
going to love it!

Kale Is 1 Year Old Today!

2010-02-21T18:50:00.000-08:00

This is Terri's Grandson Kale. He turned 1 today! He was born 3 months early and has had 2 major surgeries in his young life. He is such a doll! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALE!!!!

My Tornado Story

2010-01-29T21:08:00.001-08:00

The Grand Opening of our hospital will be in March and our Hospital Administrator is putting together a booklet and asked us to write a few words about the night of the tornado. Here's a brief synopsis of my night... I worked the evening of the tornado. I walked up and down the basement hallway about 500 times I think. People were coming and going all night looking for loved ones. Alot of towns people came and went, looking for loved ones. Some people brought their dogs for shelter, some brought their children, and some brought their spouses. My family came and brought my 87 year old mother. One young lady came and was worried about her mother and almost hysterical-- I kind of had to "get in her face" and tell her to calm down because we had all of our patients (including the BHU patients) and several other people from the community there and I didn't want to get them upset and scared. I hope I wasn't too stern with her and I think it was for her own good and ours that I was firm with her. She calmed down anyway. A man came and brought his big wet dog and he didn't have a leash for him and the man was crying saying he hurt and that got the young lady going again and I was really worried they were going to get everybody upset but eventually they both calmed down. Someone made a leash out of an oxygen tube for the dog. The man wanted to stay in the bathroom and keep the dog with him there but I told him other people would need the bathroom and I helped him move the dog to another room where the physical therapy department had their whirlpool. Later I found out that other people had their dogs in that room and they weren't happy about having the big black dog brought there! Someone's dog pooped in the hallway-- the hot, crowded, trafficked hallway! Then a couple of the BHU patients decided they were getting out of there! Their nurses did well with them but somehow amidst all the congestion a man and a lady both tried to leave-- so I elicited the help of one of the men who had came for shelter and he assisted getting them back to the BHU nurse. She went upstairs and got mattresses off the beds for them to lie on which was a really great idea because people were getting tired of sitting in hard chairs and it was way past their bedtime! I assisted my mother to the physical therapy room and she laid down on one of their "tables" to rest. My sister was in a room next door taking care of a lady that had a head injury. My husband had carried a young man downstairs who had an injured back. Several people who had came for shelter lined the halls and all they could do was wait to be rescued. The rescuers came and took them all first in ambulances, I believe, to surrounding hospitals. I told the rescuers we were all OK and they said they would come back later for us. Dr. Kibar came to the hospital when he got to town that night (it's my understanding he was out of town) and he went to each of our hospital patients and asked them if they were OK and if there was anything they needed. Dr. Maalouf worked at the triage areas at Dillon's parking lot. Chris Gardiner was our "on call" Provider for the night and he had came to hospital and went to work immediately even though his house had just been blown away by the tornado and he and his family had climbed out of the debris. And, it is my understanding that Nancy Kisner and Jonell Sirois worked all night at the triage area also. All of our hospital patients were transferred by ambulances to other hospitals. Chris wanted a nurse to go with all the patients and we (Chris and I) thought they were all going to one place but it turned out they took everyone to different places and my patient, my mother and I ended up in Coldwater. At 4am I realized I was stuck in Coldwater with no phone, no money, no pills for my elderly mother and no bed for my mother (since she wasn't a patient they didn't have a bed for her because they needed to save the beds for the sick and injured). I called my son's mother-in-law and awakened her to get his phone number and fortunately he was in Pratt (headed back to Wichita after assisting around town where he could) and answered his phone and then I lost it and cried, "Joe, I'm in Coldwater with Mom and I don't know what to do!" to which he replied "I'll be right there!" and he rescued us! Joe was my Hero that night!

Den and I

2010-01-15T19:58:00.000-08:00

I like this picture of Dennis and I in our winter sweaters. I've been watching news shows about the Haiti earthquake. I'm just so thankful for all I have! I'm so thankful I was born and live in America.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

2009-12-23T18:46:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving

2009-11-25T07:49:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! I have to work Thanksgiving Day but that's OK! I leave at 2pm and go to my sister's and eat leftovers! No worries! Friday is Joe's birthday...he will be 36!
Mom leaves to go spend some time with Ernie in Florida on Friday...which is nice...'cause now I will have an excuse (again) to go to Florida to bring her home in the Spring!
I miss our big Thanksgivings that we had at Grandma's house every year-- Grandma and Mom cooking a turkey all night, lots of pies and salads, playing with my cousin Barbara Ann, Uncle Virgil making castles and moats and whole scenic land sculptures out of his meal on his plate before eating it (trying to impress us kids...I was impressed!). I guess I just thought Grandma and Mom would be around forever to make Thanksgiving Dinner. Boy, was I ever shocked first time I had the dinner at my house! Believe me, I scolded myself many times for not helping more in the kitchen while growing up! I always had more important things to do-- like watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! I still like to watch it-- it's tradition! And speaking of tradition-- tomorrow at 8pm Levi will put Christmas music on the stereo and we will all listen to our first Christmas music of the year-- because it is tradition. Then Friday, we will go to St. John, Ks and get a Christmas Tree at Delp's Christmas Tree Farm...tradition! Tradition, tradition, tradition!

Kiowa County Wind Turbines

2009-11-23T19:00:00.000-08:00

These are pictures I took last evening of the wind turbines they are putting up south of town.

Roses

2009-11-12T22:12:00.000-08:00

Dennis met me at the airport in Wichita Monday and gave me these roses! They're so pretty! I had a good trip to Terri's. It was so fun to see Kale and my, how he has grown! He is a good baby and has such a sweet smile. Quinn is a good mommy. And I got to meet Kale's daddy. His name is Brad and he loves his baby. Now I need to stay home for a while and get some work done in my house-- you think that will happen?!?

Quinn, Kale, Terri and Me

2009-11-06T14:50:00.000-08:00

Kale and his momma Quinn

Guess where I'm gonna go? Yup, to Roscoe, Illinois to see Terri and her little baby grandson Kale! I haven't got to see Kale since he was a little tiny preemie in the hospital! Now he doesn't even look like a preemie! See you later!

Halloween 09

2009-11-01T20:05:00.000-08:00

Here's a scarey picture of Levi and I. Greensburg had a trunk-or-treat for the kids and Den and I dressed up (Den sqeezed into an old baseball uniform) and walked around. Levi and his friend Tim went as The Blues Brothers. This is not a good picture of Levi. I had told him not to squint because he squinted in the first picture! (I usually say Levi can't take a bad picture, but this one just isn't very good!)

I have to show off my pretty little great-neice Camille and her little brother Taden. Aren't they cute?!

Old pics of Mom and Dad

2009-10-18T11:21:00.000-07:00

These are pictures of my mom and dad when they were in their early 20's. Dad always wore long sleeve shirts because he was a "tube bender" and worked over hot flames (he made neon signs). He also always wore a shirt with a pocket-- always. He carried pens and pencils and a pack of cigarettes in that pocket. He smoked like a train until Levi was a baby then he quit cold turkey. Never smoked again. Thank God! It was a answer to prayer! I hated taking Levi to their house when Dad smoked 'cause he would wreek of smoke (and so would we of course) . Dad also use to drink and quit that when Joe was a small child. We use to find liquor bottles in the tank of the toilet or in-between the towels in the bathroom when we were kids. I was so suprised when I got older to find out people kept alcohol in plain sight in cabinets in their homes! It's sad that none of us ever learned the tube bending technique. Dad could make anything out of glass. He made two beautiful doves for our church-- they had been broken by hail before the tornado and were waiting to be repaired but you know the rest of the story. I don't have anything neon that Dad made but I think Relena has a neon cactus. I miss my Dad-- he was a good guy and had a good sense of humor and would do anything for anyone if they needed help. He had alot of common sense. My Mom used to complain about his smoking (everyday) and when he quit I told the people at our church there had been a miracle and a wonder with Mom and Dad-- the miracle was Dad quit smoking and the wonder was it took Mom three days to notice! Dad was a WW2 Vet. He is buried here in Greensburg.

Karen

2009-10-16T23:40:00.000-07:00

I lost a friend last night. She was a nurse at our hospital and her Mother is a nurse here too.

She was such a sweet girl, and such a good little nurse. I will miss her. Goodbye, Karen.

Ernie, Relena and Me

2009-10-10T21:15:00.000-07:00

Weren't we just the cutist little kids? Ernie and his dog, Relena and her goose, and I and my cat! I think the picture with just me is from kindergarten. Isn't it odd to just look at a picture of yourself of when you were young and think back to what you thought of yourself and about what you'd been taught? I was usually a happy child.

2009-10-09T22:26:00.001-07:00

Here are some pictures of Relena and Jake and their family. This is Laura and 3 of her children (she has 5).

This is Darline and Relena.

This is Ashley and Taden (her sweet little boy!). She also has Camille (her beautiful little girl!) and is married to Trent.

Ashley, Relena and Camille and Grandma (Mom).

Relena and Shawn.

Of course, Rocky was mentioned on another blog and I'll show his new house and a picture of him later!

2009-10-08T23:13:00.000-07:00

Here's a young Relena and Jake...just for the fun of it. I've been looking at Relena's pics on Facebook and found this one and thought it would be fun to put it on my blog.

Kale and Quinn

2009-10-07T19:24:00.000-07:00

My last blog was suppose to be a joke. Everybody blogs about all the "crafty" things they are doing so I decided to put a picture of my dishcloth on here (even though it is suppose to be square but is rectangle!). My kitchen does have some yellows, reds, and greens in it and it does kind of brighten things up a little.

I just don't know how you all find time to do all you do. . . it seems as though all I can do is just maintain. And lots of days I don't even maintain. . . I lag behind. But, I'm gonna keep on keepin' on! Who knows, maybe one day I'll crochet an afghan! Maybe one day I really will paint my bedroom! (I've had the paint for several years!). Maybe I will actually take a walk or ride my bike around town!

Until then, I'll just keep reading your blogs and enjoying them! And I'll keep you updated on my progress of course!

Oh, and more importantly, here is a new picture of Kale with his Mommy Quinn. He gets to go without oxygen in the daytime now! Isn't he a doll?!?

Dishcloth

2009-10-07T15:14:00.000-07:00

Gosh, I haven't "blogged" for a long time! I've been sooooo busy crocheting. Here's a picture of what I've made. Oh yah, I've also thought alot about riding my bike, walking somewhere, and painting my bedroom. (You just can't keep a good woman down!)

2009-09-20T18:48:00.000-07:00

Den and I went to the Kansas State Fair last Saturday and again yesterday. We worked in the Pride of Kansas Building last Saturday at the Greensburg Booth. Alot of people stopped by and asked about the progress Greensburg is making with it's rebuilding effort.
I took a picture of The Swings when we walked around Saturday evening. My niece (Darline) rode on these when she was little and a fair guy (who wasn't suppose to be on the ride) rode behind her and kept grabbing the chain making her swing go wild and she was scared to death! My brother and I were on the ground watching this. When they stopped the ride, my brother showed alot of restraint and got in the guy's face and got him kicked out of the fair by his boss. (I was afraid my brother was going to rearrange his face, but he never laid a hand on him!) Oh, the joys of The Fair!

Yesterday Dennis and I rode on the giant Ferris Wheel. Dennis was scared-- his hands were sweaty! But I thought it was fun!

When we looked at the quilts, this one was there and I just loved it.. it has several little girls on the front of it and it's like paper dolls-- you can change their dresses-- the envelope that holds their dresses is sewn on the back of the quilt. It's so cute and such a neat idea. (Are the little girls McCall's girls?) I hope it was Ok to take a picture and put it in my Blog!!

We love going to The Fair! Just walking around looking at everything and everyone! We like to eat Pronto Pups and Pizza and ice cream and caramel apples-- although this year I just couldn't bring myself to buy a carameled apple-- I told Dennis I'd go buy a bag of caramels and apples and make my own! We did buy some Taffy for Mom (and me) and I bought a piece of fudge. Plus I found a Gaspinite ring that matches my watch band and earrings. Oh yeah, we also got Joe's girlfriend's daughters some toys-- butterflies on the end of a stick that light up and flash and make noise! And, we played a game and won them a couple of little rubber duckies. We looked at camper trailers and dreamed of getting one to pull behind our Trailblazer-- (small ones). See you all later!

Colorado

2009-09-09T22:17:00.000-07:00

This picture was taken as we were driving home from Terri's cabin. We also stayed at Mannitou Springs one night and we drove to Fort Collins and visited Becky Perry Irons and up to Estes Park for a lunch and some shopping before heading home. We want to go again in the winter and take Levi with us.

Den and I went to Colorado over Labor Day Weekend and stayed 2 nights at the Meadows new cabin @ Red Feather Lakes. Here's Terri and I there.

Relena's Scary Beet

2009-08-23T20:53:00.000-07:00

Mom made some pickled beets! Relena had supper with us tonight (I made potato soup--yum!) and when she jabbed her beet it looked like this! You had to be there-- it was too funny! Ernie says it looks like an Alien.

Pickles

2009-08-19T21:35:00.000-07:00

My neighbors gave me some cucumbers so tonight I made bread and butter refrigerator pickles! They have to set at least 24 hours then....they'll start disappearing! Mom wants to try to have us make some chow-chow soon also, but I don't know if I'm that energetic. But I love chow-chow on hot dogs...so maybe I'll be making it (with Mom's help) in a few days!

The pickles are in a Sun Tea jar that my neighbors gave me (the same neighbors that gave me the cucumbers)! It's not the best photo in the world but you get the picture- right?! (Gosh, I need to clean out my refrigerator!)

Another Kale Picture!

2009-08-16T21:55:00.000-07:00

I couldn't resist- Terri sent me this picture of Kale and I just thought it was so cute! He looks like a sweety!

I hope he gets to get rid of the oxygen soon!

Kiowa County Memorial Hospital

2009-08-10T21:45:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of KCMH from the air! It should be completed in January or February! That is Hiway 54 in front of it. It's going to be nice, isn't it?!

The rounded area on the back is the patient care area and the ER will be on the west end. This picture is looking southwest. There's alot of glass on this hospital on both the east and west on the north side. There will be a pond on the east side. And there will also be a wind turbine on the east end I believe.

Relena and Ashley

2009-08-07T20:46:00.000-07:00

I was going to put a post about Rocky and his open house which he is having as I write this. But I couldn't find a picture of Rocky so I'll wait until I have a picture of him and his house! In the meantime...here's Relena and her youngest daughter Ashley. This was taken in May at the swimming pool park when we had the alumni picnic. By the way, tomorrow is Relena's birthday!

Den the Gardener

2009-08-04T23:25:00.000-07:00

Wow! Check this out-- Den grew all this stuff in his garden! I am so impressed!

Quinn and Kale and Daddy

2009-08-02T11:19:00.000-07:00

This is Terri's daughter (Quinn) and Kale and his Daddy. They look happy!!

Kale

2009-08-01T21:24:00.000-07:00

This is Terri's little Grandbaby, Kale Cassidy. He weighed less than 2 pounds at birth. He was born February 21 but wasn't due until May 21. He had to have an emergency surgery for a ruptured appendex (very rare for a premature baby) but he is home now and doing well! This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully by now he has his oxygen off! I will keep you updated.

Band camp

2009-07-20T23:38:00.000-07:00

Levi leaves tomorrow for a band camp in Wichita all week. It's a marching band and they will be the halftime entertainment at the East Vs. West Allstar Football Game on Saturday night. Saturday morning there is a parade and they will march in it (it's a Mason's Parade and they are the ones who get the band kids together). Levi plays a trombone. Friday evening, before the parade and ballgame on Saturday, there is a banquet and they also play at the banquet. This is the third year Levi has done this. The first year was at Hays, the second at Emoporia, and now Wichita. We will go to Wichita Friday to the banquet and stay the night and watch the parade and ballgame and half-time show on Saturday. Levi will get home late Saturday night. Then he leaves for Youth For Christ camp near Colorado Springs the next day. He is one busy guy!

Joe

2009-07-17T21:21:00.001-07:00

Joe and Levi

Joe with Levi and Den Joe and Bill

Joe and I

Joe on Mountain in Colorado

Joe loves to go hiking in the mountains of Colorado. He sent me this picture of himself a couple of days ago. I'm not sure which of the 13ers or 14ers it is. He has always been an outdoorsman! He enjoys nature and believes in relaxing at the end of the day!

Levi

2009-07-15T17:18:00.001-07:00

Yeah! My boy comes home tonight! He's been gone for 3 weeks to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland. The Greensburg, Pa. Rotary Club has been so good to him! This was the 3rd year he got to go on this trip thanks to the Rotary Club in Greensburg, Ks. and Greensburg, Pa. He has met alot of wonderful good-hearted people, and seen alot of our USA. He has been to New York, West Virginia, and North Carolina plus the afore mentioned states! He is one very fortunate child!

I am glad he will be home tonight!

Summertime

2009-07-13T20:02:00.000-07:00

Joe took this picture with his Blackberry phone today. It's a poodle! And I finally got my pool up and running but haven't been in it yet! I messed up- I didn't get it smoothed out very well plus when it filled I somehow didn't have the bottom all out far enough so the drains are on the floor of the pool! I thought about draining it all into the garden and starting over but I think I'll just leave it and stay away from the drain end of the pool.

Estes Park

2009-07-07T21:12:00.000-07:00

Our Cabin

Dennis and I just got back from Estes Park, Colorado late Sunday night. Time goes by too quickly when you're in the mountains! Here are some pictures of the cabin we stayed in. We loved it there. Hummingbirds ate at our deck everyday and little chipmonks ran around on and under the rocks outside. We shopped in the stores downtown and came home with a few souviners. We spent one day with Perry and Becky and Perry drove us all up Trailridge Road to the Continental Divide, then we ate supper at "The Other Side" restaurant together. It was wonderful getting to be with my friend Becky and her wonderful husband Perry! As I said before, time goes by too quickly when you're in the mountains and we hope to return there soon!

Terri's Birthday

2009-06-30T22:32:00.000-07:00

Today is Terri's birthday!
Happy Birthday Terri! Hope it is wonderful!

Zoo pictures

2009-06-30T18:44:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures I took with my Blackberry phone while we were at the zoo in Manhattan, Ks. Den is smelling the flowers.

And I thought these were so pretty!

The flamingos reminded me of Florida!

Do you know what animal these feet belong to?

The weather was perfect when we first got to the zoo but about half way through it got really hot and muggy! But we enjoyed our day there!

Manhattan

2009-06-30T02:41:00.000-07:00

We went to a wedding in Manhattan over the weekend. Sarah (our friend) got married. She had a pretty wedding and these were her colors. The reception was nice also. They are going to Hawaii for a honeymoon.
We went to the zoo Sunday afternoon before coming home and I took a bunch of pictures...maybe I will post some later!
Our next adventure will be Estes Park, Colorado...we are really looking forward to that! We rented a cabin for 3 days. Maybe Dennis will try to do some fly fishing. Maybe I'll just hang around the cabin and enjoy the fresh mountain air! (And hope that there aren't any bears or mountain lions around!)
I'm getting excited!

Dennis

2009-06-27T00:21:00.001-07:00

Before I ever met Dennis I wanted to marry him. I had a friend that worked with him that used to tell me funny things he said or did and I remember standing by the kitchen stove, reaching for the Crisco and thinking, 'I want to marry that guy!' But then he got married to someone else, and I remember thinking, 'maybe he'll get a divorce...' The rest is history!

This is a picture of Dennis and his dog Rosie. It was taken in 1980 when I first met him. I loved his black curly hair!

Clearwater Beach, Florida

2009-06-25T00:34:00.000-07:00

I still don't have my swimming pool up and running so thought I'd put this picture of the beach on my blog.

This is (from l to r) me, Mom, Relena and Ernie.

I am so glad Ernie moved to Florida! (But I miss him here!)

Father's Day

2009-06-22T02:37:00.000-07:00

Levi and I took Dennis to Pratt yesterday for Father's Day for lunch. We ate at a Mexican Restaurant. Then we bought Dennis a cordless Drill. I read somewhere that every guy ought to have a cordless drill, and Dennis is building a fence and a deck so, now he has a good drill! Now we just need some nice days for him to work outside. He is a hard worker and a good father!

TV Shows From My Childhood

2009-06-18T00:16:00.000-07:00

Andy Griffeth, Dick Van Dyke, Green Acres, Gilligan's Island and Beverly Hillbillies.

One of these days I'm going to learn more about Blogging. I tried putting some pictures of old TV shows I used to watch on here then tried to label them and then I just totally messed them up and deleted them. So now, I'll try again-- I just thought it would be fun to post them and look at them once in a while to bring back childhood memories (probably of telling my mom I had a stomach ache so I could miss school and hang out at home and watch TV. I never liked school... and that is so sad....school should have been a fun place....).

Storm clouds, Roses and Kansas Sunset

2009-06-15T07:59:00.000-07:00

Here's some pictures I've taken in the last week or two. The storm ended up just barely missing us that night. The roses are in my front yard...I'm so happy they survived the tornado of 5-04-07! A big pine tree had fallen on them and I was so afraid they would be gone! They are so beautiful....I love them! Plus, they are extra special because Dennis bought them for me! And the sunset picture was taken just before we came into Greensburg on Hiway 54 one evening.

Time and Youth and a New Day

2009-06-14T05:02:00.000-07:00

Wow! I can't believe a week has already passed since I decided to clean up my swimming pool and get it going! It's still just lying in the backyard all cruddy. I do have the excuse of the rain I guess.
Also I've made a trip or two to Wichita and Pratt. I took Levi and Taylor and a new friend of theirs (Georgia) to the Pizza Hut last night in Pratt. That was fun! Older people should hang out with the youth as much as possible-- for their sakes and ours!
It is a beautiful Sunday morning... the rain came and went in the night, now it is calm and sunny and the birds are singing... and I'm going to bed! (I worked all night.)

Levi got a computer!

Oh-oh!

The day is almost over and I still didn't get the pool up and running. Rats! It was cool out today and I want to wait until a hot day to get it cleaned and going. Plus, I slept after working last night then got up and made Lasagne for supper...mmm...it was good!
Levi and I plan on going to Wichita tomorrow to look for a new laptop. He needs one SO bad! (According to him, that is!)
Dennis and I took a short walk tonight. . .just from the Kwik Shop to home. We definitely need to do that more often!
Here's a picture of Taylor, Alexsis and Levi just for fun!
Bye for now.

Kinda Tired

2009-06-07T05:10:00.000-07:00

My 4th Blog ever-- how exciting! But I'm so tired! I worked all night and it is bedtime now. When I get up, I'm gonna finish cleaning our swimming pool (the big round one that Joe got us a couple of years ago) and get some water in it and one day go swimming! I also want to get some flowers put in the ground before they croke in their little pots. Goodnight!
4pm...Awake and ate breakfast...think I'll wait 'til tomorrow to tackle the pool.

Rocky's Furniture Day

2009-06-03T22:55:00.000-07:00

Rocky and I went to Wichita and he picked out furniture for his new house-- it's really nice. He got a new living room set, dining room table and chairs, computer desk and bedroom set. They will bring it all to him next week. I am happy for him!
After shopping for furniture we ate at the Olive Garden (Raviolli- it was good!) and then we came home, but not before stopping in Pratt at Walmart and the Sonic (the Sonic was giving away FREE root beer floats! They were small sized but perfect for me after eating all that food at the Olive Garden!)
We had a good day.
But I didn't get my basement cleaned-- and that was what I had planned to do before deciding to go with Rocky. I'm glad I went with Rocky and I think he is glad too.
The basement can wait. Levi has made a deal with me to help clean it. He gets to take the car to Wichita tomorrow in exchange for helping me in the basement. I just hope we get around to it before too long! Bye! It's been nice Blogging with you!
