Good Folks in this World

I had taken Mike and Nathaniel to the Doctor's office yesterday afternoon. When we returned home we saw that someone had left a note on our door telling us to look on top of my car. They had left a box of food. We recognized the handwriting when compared to the Missed you last Sunday postcards that Mike had been sent. No doubt in my mind that it was left by the Pastor and his wife.

Mike has been cut down to 4 days a week for several months now. He is the only one in the family that is employed. He was out of work most of last week and yesterday because of sickness. No work equals no pay. Trust me, it will come in very handy and we WILL pay it forward as soon as we are back on our feet.

Less than a week till Halloween!

Less than a week till Halloween. Momma went as Raggedy Ann last year and I was Raggedy Andy. I think that the only thing she needs changing with last years costume is different socks, makeup, yellow hair and a shepherd's staff. Oh, and a side kick that needs to look like a sheep. ; ) Guess that's me. lol. Do I need to go as a white sheep or as a black sheep? Definitely the black sheep of the family. I'm so baaaaaaad. ; ) Since we moved from the mountain we do not have any trick-or-treaters here at Speake. I kind of miss it sometimes. I hate company and all but the kids did look really cute and seem to enjoy our all chocolate treats. I know we did!

I was really hoping to get in at least one week of camping before winter but it is not looking promising. Keep your fingers crossed for us. I am going to try to keep the basics in the camper so if the mood strikes, I will only have to put in our personal things and the food. Hope that Mike enjoys it because basically he absolutely HATES camping. Brandon and I are fortunate that his family is getting into camping and therefore has peaked his interest in going. If it was just because of me and Brandon I really don't believe he would have ever bought a camper.

Till next time.

Yipppeee! A Camper in our Yard

Mike, my hubby who hates camping, actually went and bought a used camper for us to camp in. Yes it is small, yes it is older, yes it needs some TLC but still he bought a camper! It came at a very good price and even though we couldn't afford it, it was still at a price where we couldn't afford not to buy it. Does that make sense? I have a headache right now. Mike's niece and her family and Mike's siblings are starting to get into camping so I think that is what made Mike want to buy one. Who cares why? We have our own camper! WE as in HE. But again who cares? Let's go camping!

But again, let's not go camping. It is 56 degrees outside right now. Too cold for even me. I'm sitting here watching the Tenn/NE game. The Titans are having to play in snow. You know how us southerner's are in snow. The score is Tenn 0 NE 38. Not really a football watcher but since we had DTV cut off I watch what I can.

I unhooked the water hose and put it away and made sure the vents were all covered. It is supposed to be our first frost of the season tonight. Brandon put up plastic over our kitchen window and I will do the rest that needs it tomorrow. Mostly it is just the ones that have the air conditioners in them. The others have storm windows. Any way it looks to be a very busy week for me this week.

Oh by the way, did I mention, Mike got a camper! LOL.
