lunch break,,m-m-m good

I'm ready for lunch ,,I'm tired and hungry...so i took time out for a ???????? what might this be,,,my lunch....yeppppppp??????Mrs..K might say it looks like road kill..but i swear i wasn't out anywhere near the highway..what i actually wanted was a tomato and mayo sandwich but the friendly preachers wife wasn't up this way today...so i had to settle for a mayo and jelly sandwich...actually it was so yum yum good i had to have two....now ,,gut is full and i had to take a break...break to the blog site that i cant seem to get to anymore...

all gone......yummmy

..........another day almost gone in the hundred minus 88 acre woods..actually the man in the house acquired another 30 some acres when his mom passed but the immediate 12 surrounding us is all that we have...of ours together....

it has been one of those long days where i have worked and toiled all day and it only looks like i did nothing when i get through...i worked inside cleaning and sorting canned goods and rearranging shelves in the kitchen and hallway...lots more to do in those areas but as usual i had to wonder out on the screened in porch and wanted to work outside a little bit..the outside was calling me ...cause you see,,,I HATE HOUSEWORK..so i proceeded to sort and separate on the porch...the box ..no i should rephrase that and say the big box that holds the big bags of dog,,lamb and pig food for those monster animals had to be cleaned out,,,,now this is not a small box....it holds three 50 lb. bags of food along with everything else that seems to fall into it....ok,,finished that...now for all the pool toys, the floaties,,,the life jackets,,pool chemicals, the tools for pool cleaning, the goggles, fins and hoses are all to be put away..the baseball bats ,,balls, bases and gloves , all needed to be nestled away some-where for another summer ,all the toy guns ,swords and whatever had to be collected ,, out with all the summer toys and out come the winter....sleds,coats , boots and gloves will soon fill the transition from summer to fall, and winter.........football season is upon us..can still ride the bikes and riding toys for a while yet.i swear if i didn't have all the toys that the 7 year old DOES NT play with ,,i might have room around this house...but I'm not getting rid of his toys..that's his stuff...unless hes willing to give them up and occasionally we get to sorting and do..but theres toys for the living room,,,the tub..the porch..then there is the outside toys....as a matter of fact you would think there was 10 kids around here..sometimes there is but not permanently... but he has times and moods like we do that he wants to play with army men...farm animals..hunting toys..monster trucks or whatever strikes his fancy that day...so i let him pick and chose...so how can i get rid of his toys when that is all hes got....that's his own things that he can call his own...and the older ,broken ones i do pitch without him knowing....

the pool is slowly turning green,,,which we will not try to resuscitate at this point because our season for swimming is GONE for this year..when these nights get down in the 50's..just doesn't warm back up through the day to warm the pool water..

and when the man in the house doenst go in it,,,IT MUST BE COLD...so good bye to all those sun soaking days..hello fall..

ok...my break is up...just wanted to make an appearance before i start back to work..want to finish the outside porch before i quit..so toodle loo til next time...well. before i could get this posted i heard the dogs barking and someone calling my name...the preachers wife was outside with watermelon,,a tomato for my tomato sandwich and watermelon for the pigs...so we let her 4 year old go out and feed the piggies some watermelon rinds.....we wandered around the yard then down to the deceased mothers house that she and her husband are wanting to rent ,,,she wanted to walk through it one more time and see what changes we might need to make as she has 5 boys and it only had three bedrooms...planning is in the progress if we can get the builders to agree to it...so now it is almost 4..time to do a few more things before i quit for the day which i am almost ready to do...i could do more but this knee i need replaced slows me down more then i want too....or if it isnt my knee that slows me down then i have a darn good excuse..ok..im outta here............

the man in the house and hannah

from all the friends,family and neighbors that enjoyed the pool..they are going to miss her/him..all the fun loving days of the summer of 2009 are over and gone for the year....the pool will be winterized and covered with her winter blanket and rest for another 9 months..seems like its hardly worth the time and money to operate a pool on such short months. but on the hot hot days of summer it is well worth it...so goodbye ..enjoy your long winter sleep and we will catch you in the may month next year mr pool............

So much for the lazy hazy days of summer and all the pool days...It is almost ready to winterize the pool and shut her/him down for the summer....Now ,did this pool get more then its share of swimmers this summer..I reckon so....If it had been more humid and hot back in June and July it would have gotten way more visitors..the youngest in the pool was under a year and the oldest would be me i guess...29 of course...am i ever dreaming on that one...but you're as young as you feel,,,,mentally i feel like a spring chicken...physically i feel like the old hen...maybe when i get this knee done..my mind will catch up with my body or my body will catch the mind...whatever;;;;;;;;;;;;;;the grandgirls and the 7 year old spent most of the time in the pool then the 5 neighbor boys came over once,,maybe twice a week,

fall in is the air...on no...that means winter is close behind...thats a bummer ,,,,i love the first few days of winter ,,but after about a month i have had enough..i think the seasons ought to be evened out...i like the sweatshirt weather...the no sweat ,,not to hot or not to cold days.ok....i am on the way outside to unload and straighten up my van....dont know which vehicle i am taking for our family reunion but i need to go clean one out..so im outta here......................

m-m-m good

well...gardens are almost at a standstill around this part of the country..at this time of year the only thing left is tomatoes and pumpkins and the fall veggies that are still coming on....so much for sweet corn..I dont put out nearly anything that you could actually call a garden..I just like tomatoes ..the little itty bitty one for my salads.in which on this particular day i ate with a bare hamburger..and it was good to the last bite.....My grape tomatoes didnt do as good as last year but to be able to pick enough for a salad was more then enough for me and as i am the only one that eats them in this household...i thought i would have more then enough..that was not the case...i have enough but not more then enough...i love tomato sandwiches...yum yum..slices of tomatoes on wheat bread with mayo....i may see if i can scrounge up a tomato and fix me one now....the last ones picked were the itty bitty ones...next year my tomatoes will be planted differently .god willing.i will plant them in big containers that will harvest no weeds...i dont like to weed eat so most of the weeds this year were sprayed by my handy dandy little bottles of weed killer...no particular brand..i have used several different ones and they all seem to work the same..and now i spray everywhere so weed eating for me will be a thing of the past.uh oh...i just remembered that i was suppose to water my willow trees i planted down the driveway...i will make a note to water them early tomorrow before it gets hot....the man in the house says they wont grow and just once i would like to say...SEE,,DAMMIT I TOLD YOU SO...he says i should have waited til late fall...better chance for them of surviving and even better to say hes right....got to water,,got to water,,maybe..it is suppose to start raining tomorrow night and rain all weekend..so maybe i wont...see what the morning brings...today was a scorcher..got to about 92..better not piss and moan about it,,in a few months i will be freezing,

good ol winter will be here..yukkk,

It wont be long till the hummingbirds will be leaving and all my flowers will slowly disappear,,shriveling up and fading away..

My hibiscus did real good this year ..except the red ones were so big that they couldnt hold them selves up...thats the way im beginning to feel about myself..heavy heavy.the pink ones were almost white....the yellow ones were the most colorful except they are FAKE...

and with that i am outta here...............

four,three ,two weeks and 5 days til

this pair of legs will lose their pretty shapes...laugh on that one but you must admit,,they have a lot of curve to them.....these poor legs have gotten me thru thick and thin and thick and thin again. we've kicked around a lot of years and had a lot of good times ,so i guess its time to go for the gold..or rather the bionic look....In my opinion..i think one leg doesnt look any better then the other or act any better.and i know sometime down the road i will be looking at replacement on the left one...and with that note i am outta here..the bed is calling..good nite

tis the season

for football and cold weather....The boys have been practicing since the last of july and talk about hot..I dont know which is worse...first we sweat and roast watching them play and then the cold weather hits before they are through and we are sitting in snow and whos knows what else by the time the season is over.

this past weekend was a scrimmage game..but they lasted all day...had four games saturday and three sunday and both days were scorchers to say the least..i kinda feel sorry for those little fellas out there in all that get up and all the heat...

On the other hand..maybe we should get suited up in one of these football outfits..they fit like girdles and made you look three times smaller then what you are..I'm ready to try one to cover all this frugal fat im carrying around.yeah..picture that..slim and trim me....in a corset...actually thats what the pants make me think they are..by the time you lace them and pull them extra tight...then the pads inside make your hips stick out so you look pretty proportioned..They had some girls playing on these teams...they must have balls more then the boys to play with them...

I walked or rather hobbled around the field at one time and took a picture of number 99...hes the older boy playing...if you look across the left top of the picture you could see our easy up tent on the other side of the bleachers..on the very top....at the end..thats where we were sitting..when you circled the field and looked back ,,it looked like the beach...all you could see where tents and tits...the young girls dont care what hangs out...of course the tents were us old gals...

the little one played center in these games..hes the one bent over with his helmet almost on the ground getting ready to hike the ball...number 6 when you can see it..the trouble with these little fellas is when they all get out there..they all look like your kid...the first team we played against was my old alma mater..the little blue and whites were us...the ripley vikings..it was hard not to root for them..which sometimes i did...we got the first touch down ,,then after that we went to score,,,they retaliated with 4 touchdowns one right after the other.beat our butts to say the least,,

ok,,i think i may hit the sack.its going on 11 p.m. and if i don't i will be digging for something else to eat and since 7 o'clock i have eaten a foot long sub,,,a yogurt,,some walnuts and a bowl of chocolate cereal,,,now im too full to lay down.as soon as i finish these i am on the way to some 'zzzzzzzz's. later;;;

5,4,3,2,go

on the way to the countdown...5 weeks from today i will be laying in the hospital with a bionic knee...IF I DON'T TALK MYSELF OUT OF IT.
almost be like new years ...out with the old and in with the new..actually I'd like to have the face lift..tummy tuck,and all the rest of the things to make this ol body have a little more bounce to the ounce. a vein free nice looking leg would be in on the list too...oh well...don't know why I'm complaining ,,it could be worse...when i see people that don't have half of what i have i feel fortunate...to be bed fast or home bound would be a fate almost as bad as death for me....so I'm thankful Lord for what i have..Yes=sir = ree...I'm outta here...
Tuesday morning...suppose to rain for the next three days...i planted willow trees all down the driveway yesterday morning and if it doesn't rain,,i have to water them today....
OK..whats twitter...i feel like a twit anyway....so now there is my space, face book, blogging , email,,and now we get to twitter...and with that i got to twitter outside and take the trash down to the road...later...
