Memorial Week Senior Citizen Fun and a Pet Peeve
You should have seen my momma this morning. She looked so cute! They were supposed to decorate a hat in a Patriotic theme. First place is $100, 2nd place a t-shirt and she couldn't remember what the 3rd place was. I think the $100 is hers. She did such a great job. I love her hat because it is fun. Very imaginative. Just like her. lol.
Now to a pet peeve of mine. We live just a little way from the Bankhead Forest. Every Friday evening our road is inudated with campers, horse trailers, atv's all headed that way and on Sunday afternoons in the reverse. People stop and put their trash into our garbage bin at the end of our driveway. I think it is the same people that are doing it each time. It smells of booze and cigerette smoke. They are no better than us to pay to have it picked up. We pay $15.00 a month to have our garbage picked up once each week. Plus we don't get to "party" every weekend. We stay here and mind our own business. One day they may get a little surprise if I catch them. I have saw them in the past put it in our neighbor's bin but they removed theirs. I don't blame them. We may have to eventually do that. In the meantime they better watch for me when they dispose of their trash in our bin. They may get a surprise. A not too pleasant one at that. Bwahhh hhaaaaa.

Peaceful Saturdays
I always look forward to our Saturdays. Usually. Saturday is the only day of the week I can sleep in late and not have to rush and get things done. I am thinking that is a thing of the past. Mike has gotten really busy lately with the riding season coming into full force. The CMA's are getting busy almost every weekend. Today I got up at 5 am (at least this is a 3o minute later of a sleep in than normal) because Mike had to be in Hartselle at Quail Run Golf Course at 7. He also has a Mens breakfast once a month on Saturdays at either Summerbrook or Decatur Church of God of Prophecy. I am glad that he is closer to the LORD now. I can't get mad at him for being gone so much since he is doing things that helps spread the GOOD NEWS.
Mean while at the home front we are in that phase that we go through every so often. Everything is breaking. My cars brakes are shot, Mike's knee is giving him trouble, my hot water heater is still out of commission, my floor in the kitchen is still not fixed, we need a new sink cabinet, we have a water leak under the house. Our last water bill was $98. Brandon is on lay off from Automatic. Things will get better for us but I can't help but wish that it would happen sooner than later.
We missed the Daiken Festival in Decatur last night. We didn't know anything about it. Since I quit getting the Decatur Daily we have been missing a lot of fun things. Oh well, can't wait till next year.
Today Brandon and I are going to Momma's to play cards. Usually I loose but I do have a lot of fun. We play Crazy Old Fish Wars, Phase 10, Uno, Skip Bo and several other games. We have more games that we can play in one day. Guess we are going to have to start putting them on a rotation list. ; )
