Ever feel lonely when you dont have any PM's waiting for you?

I don't know how many more times I can play dumb with Hubby and tell him someone just "dropped" it off but you can try!

It is soon getting that time of year that Bridgette will head to the "homeless shelter" and start bringing random friends to spend the night with her in the box! If hubby gets the cat house built, we will be the "homeless shelter"!

Thunder is letting the cats in the house now some, but I don't think he will share his bed. Usually they end up sleeping with me. Destiny has her cat Johnny trained to climb the ladder of her loft bed!

Hey! I have also been meaning to ask you if you got your yard sales done? Sounds like it may warm up some next week if you need to finish.

I have been spending my morning looking up jar recipes for the baskets I talked about making for Christmas. I am getting really excited to start them!

I had my last sale Wed. In this town you can only have 2 a year. Besides, I don't know what kinda weather your havin' but it is cold and rainy and icky here! I think garage sale days are over!

The sun is actually kinda trying to shine here today, but yes, still a little cool to my liking. We are expecting rain tonight and tomorrow night, but I thought I saw on one of the KC channels that it is going to be close to 70 sometime in the next week.

We have a Missouri Day festival this week. Parade starts at 8:30 and it sounds like it is going to be COLD for the start. I am going to drive the van again and promote our Halloween open house. Hoping to just take the van home after the game Friday night and not have to warm a vehicle twice that morning. Although the boys have been nice enough to clean the garage so I can put my van in now. It is awkward to have 3 cars to put in and then the truck when it is snow time. Destiny never has gotten her license, so I haven't had to deal with that yet!

We don't have any rules on garage sales. Seems like some of the same people have them all the time. My mom runs a second hand store that we like to call the never ending garage sale, so I just send my stuff over there to sell! She gives the kids so much a bag or box so they will get rid of their old stuff. Much handier for me!

Colton is staying out of trouble so far. He had to deliver his apology letter yesterday and today he starts his running and cleaning.

This is my DD Traci at Ren Fest!

Oh! That from over there where the human combat chess match was? Did you go see that? I have a pic of Des and Emily by that statue!! If I can remember to bring my camera cord I will share it with you!! (your pic turned out better than mine).

A human chess match?! That would've been neat to see! I didn't know about it. We were looking for the privies and the fortune tellers when we found this guy!!

 

[michelle1017]

Yes, it is in the afternoon. I can't remember what time, but it rocked!! And the bathrooms were close! We sat there and relaxed for quite a while. The girls thought he was really neat. We also took several pics of them with their heads in the various cut outs along the way. My favorite is from the kid's section and it was a bumble bee or something cute like that.

We saw that. I couldn't get Traci to poke her head in anything cause she had that hat on! She didn't want anyone to see her hat hair!!

All my family hunts, but hubby never has. Sometimes I wish he would go! I love deer meat and most of the time I get lucky enough to have some given to us. I love deer chilli!

Deer is all we eat. Hubby fills the freezer every year. Beef is a rare treat for us. In fact a while back I baked a loaf of Banana Bread and took it to our neighbors(closest neighbors 3 miles away

) She came down a few days later and said this is all I have to share with you as i don't bake but we butcher our own cattle!

Needless to say we were thrilled and I will bake for her more often!! I promise if you come visit I will serve deer.

That is so cute! You have a picky puppy!! I want her bed on my side of the bed too! Our room is pretty tiny though and it is cramped on my side of the bed. But hey I have a week to figure it out and gather the perfect blankets! I hope Thunder is feeling wonderful by now! Poor thing. I PM'd you!

He is picky, I don't think I am totally responsible for it, but I do cater to him way too much! Second morning in a row that he was harder to wake up than Destiny! I kept talking to him and finally had to use treats to lure him out. Last night when Des tried to put him out, he came in the bathroom and hid behind me. I told him he had to go out at least while I fed the goats and I don't think he even got off the porch. He really doesn't like cold weather at all! It is going to be such a long winter for us!!

I am so excited about you getting your baby too!! This weekend you pick her up? It won't come fast enough! Too bad you didn't just have her outside your door like I did!

Did the person say why they are giving her away? And be sure to find out all the likes/dislikes you can. Sometimes I feel like Thunder is missing something. I guess that is why I try so hard to make him happy. That and he's old. We won't have him too many more years. You can try to find the right blankets for her, but Thunder picked his own. If he shoved them toward the door, I knew he didn't like them. My mom wants to make him a big pillow to sleep on, but I told her I would send the blanket over to make it with and if he didn't like it, she would have to take it apart!

I wish she was waiting right outside my door! Yes

we get to go get her on Sunday. They agreed to meet us half way. Thats about 2 hours away from us. So I was glad she suggested it. She is a young gal with 3 kids and a Boston Terrier. Her husband is gone for 7 days at a time for work. Her kids are all under 5! She said she just doesn't have time for Mocha. Thats really the only reason she gave.

She said she likes to be outside camping, fishing and swimming. So she will fit in great around our house. I am unsure if she is house trained. They said she is an outside dog and only comes in once in a while. We are like you though, around here our dogs are family and sleep in the house and are with the family as much as possible.

It sounds like Thunder definitely showed up on the right door step didn't he?!! I didn't realize he was an older dog. How old is he? I have read that these German Shorthairs live to be about 16. I am sure Thunder knows you spoil him and he feels the love!
