Wonderful Saturday!

  Today is Tim's birthday! Even though he has to work he will have a good day.

  Yesterday we had a storm come through that had very high winds (abt 80mph) and some hail and rain. We didn't get any hail but those winds were sure strong. Blew my birds right off their table.

  Once again having trouble with the editing part of the this program. Doesn't seem to want to edit correctly. Oh well, I'll do the best I can with what I have to work with. 

It's been a diamond.

    

#4

Throwaway Thursday 5am and

 ....I've already put something in the "Thursday" pile. Yay! Pretty cool, huh? I will add a few more things as the day goes along.
  T is working OT today. Funny...when he was leaving the plant on Tues. ..Sheila forgot to tell him he got the OT. She called me to ask me to tell him. As he was leaving in the parking lot 2-3 other friends told him and so did Sheila. So now that 4 woman have told him ....he gets home and the first thing I do? Tell him. lol Told him this a.m. that he should call them all and thank them this a.m. .....

This dark old cloud didn't leave us a drop but others managed to leave behind 4.5" of rain over the last few days. Getting kinda soggy but for the most part the ground is soaking it right up. Come on grass!!!!! We have shut the cross gate to keep the horses out of the two little pastures to give it a rest. In a week or two they will be allowed to enjoy taller grass. haha The short stuff is still better than the hay...just ask them. lol

Here's basket number three for the year/week. I think I may keep this one for myself. I like it. Of course that's my problem (one of them lol)I like them all!

Almost done! Needs the handles. Actually I got them on day before yesterday. Just didn't take a picture. I have almost finished #4. Will finish it this a.m..
  My trouble with the cartilage or whatever has let up quite a bit. I did figure out not to weed the flower bed yet.....dang it! They need weeding desparately. Not all of them but several of them. Sis says she won't be putting out a garden this year. I know she will miss it but she doesn't need the extra work at this time...if they put out a few maters like R wants to it will help a little. Maybe one of her friends can bring her some okra. haha Weird pod like things ....yuck! Oh, forgot slimey!
  Well, had an interesting afternoon. Nice visit with S and R. Ended up taking S to hospital to have heart checked....she got to go home but needs stress test soon.....Some days are stones.
 

Weird start to day

  the power went off at 12:38 this morning and came back on around 3:30 shortly after we got up ....the storm blew through pretty fast and we had no damage but something did happen in Cassville. Also, a tornado touched down in Buffalo and in Branson. Six altogether in the state. High wind damage also. 30 injured in Branson area...glad we mostly slept through it. I woke up just seconds before the power went out because of the wind. Just a couple of minutes after the power went the storm was gone and I went back to sleep. Yay! Alarms went off on time - called power company and they were already on it and a few minutes later- lights came on.
  Sun is shining and it's around 50*. Gonna be a beautiful windy day. 15-20 mph winds .....rain for the month-3.7" at least plus 1/2" of snow....
  We (I use the term lightly)turned Jeanne out with the other horses yesterday. No limping but she hasn't actually worked it. Maybe this weekend we'll throw at least a saddle on her and see how she does.
Sandi came and picked me up Monday morning early so we could meet mom at her dentist appt. She told the home folks she was afraid and wanted family there. Pretty much was just a way to get us to show up and visit with her about living with Sandi again. That hasn't changed any. Her memory's are still confused and not all there. She wasn't sure if she still owned the house in Oregon but knew she had money in the bank. She offered to help buy a trailer for them all to live in. I've got no problem with that but I think Char will. She doesn't want to lose "the bed" at the facility. Who cares? There will always be a bed somewhere.
  It's hours later now and they just reported that a woman in Cassville was thrown from her mobile home on the north end of town and killed in this morning's storm. It wasn't just an overturned big truck that Tim had to drive around on the way to work. What a day for the folks around the Ozarks.
