Hello Darlings......do hope that you are all well and staying dry for those of you battling these rains. Just wanted to give everyone and update. Blaine, Dad, Tammy, Mom and I got the concrete poured. Jerry never made it back in time from the fire meeting to help. Course we wanted to start about 7 pm.....but Blaine and Dad wanted to start before that....so we went ahead and started. Wow....did them boys work me! I matched shovel for shovel but in a matter of just a few hours we were done. Now I just need to find time to run the skid back to Lowes....the boy never charged me for it....bless his heart!
Other then that....these last few days have been quiet. Jerry is in his busy season because all the farmers are starting to harvest....and with the weather cooling down that means people want their heating oil tanks full. I know last night he didn't get in till 8 pm and got off 3 full truck loads.....which is a lot of fuel! And it looks like today will be the same for him. OO I remember them days.....and must say I don't miss them anymore.
Janie did call me last night with some bad news. One of our farmers from up there was killed in an accident while he was hauling grain. Still haven't got the full details yet...but wow was that a shock! He was such a nice man too and not that old. I feel for his sons and wife....and do pray for them. The last I heard he went off the road and somehow got trapped under the truck....course these old grain trucks don't have seat belts.....so anywho....that was just terrible!
Yesterday I went and got my flu shot and just have to wait for the H1M1 to come in and then I will get that one too. Then went to the Free Store to see if I could find some winter clothes and did find quiet a few things. Love having that place close by! and who doesn't like free clothes! Other then that the day was quiet and I just caught up on some housework and laundry. Not sure what I will get into today...so we will just have to wait and see. Looks like we have some heavy rains moving in sometime later. Maybe I will get into some baking....or unpacking some more things! Geesh I am so sick of unpacking.....but tired of not finding anything either. Although I need to get some jewery made up for the craft shows that are coming. I did order some scents and coloring for my candles...so looking forward to that coming in....now to get up north to get my stuff.
Well darlings....that is all for now. I do wish everyone a wonderful day. Be well and don't forget to put that cute lil smile on!
XOXO
Dee its really me!

OOO Hunter, it is really a cool place this "free store". There are other items as well such as dishes vases, ect.....really it is what people donate after they have garage sales! And believe me this people down here must have WAY to much stuff and once they haul it out for the sale...after it DOESN'T go back in! So the donate to this place. You are allowed up to 25 items on one trip!
OO and really....I didn't get along too bad matching the shovel for shovel! OO my legs were a little sore but all in all I fair wonderful!
