Wow it has been awhile since I have wrote to everyone.....guess because it seems like my life is non-stop now....although I did take a break today and got some cleaning and laundry done.  Yesterday was spent at the Fire House helping the women serve an election dinner....and we are proud to say....That we ran out of everything!!!  And was done by about 2 in the afternoon....shame they didn't fix more for supper.

Halloween was a BLAST!  That morning I went down to the Fire House to help the women cook up a Fall Festival Dinner then I scattered back home to change into my outfit....a Black Cat...which came out to be pretty scary and I wasn't planning on that....so hence my avatar picture!  Mom, dad, Blaine, Tammy, Brittney, and Alex all came down to sit on the porch and pass out candy to all the kiddies!!  This is the first time in 20 years that we have all gotten together to do this...and what a thrill it was for me.  Mom dressed as a witch, and Alex was Wonder Women.  We had decorations up and scary music playing.....and we had way over 200 kiddies!  all dress in a verity of outfit that were so so cute!  Jerry had to stay at the fire house to help out down there with the kiddies and do whatever the women needed done.  Hated bailing on them....but hey....it was my turn to play!  grins!

SO I imagine you all have been wondering how the house is going....well it is coming along.  I have been doing all the wiring and then we team up to insulate and dry wall.  The kitchen is wired and the drywall is on....but the ceiling is still open...so that will probably be the next thing....although we have started on the dining room walls...and Jerry decided to go out and buy the wood bead board for the bottoms!  It has been nice to get down and dirty again and work on a house....funny isn't it...a chick that loves to rebuild houses!  Just a passion I guess!  So most of the work time comes on the weekends unless there is something that I can do during the day....like wiring and small jobs.  Right now I am just laying the wire out and running it to the main box but will get hooked up later....because we are still trying to use the power we have now.  It was a house with 60 amp service and we want to upgrade to 200 amp.

The other piece of news I have is that my youngest nephew moved in with me about 3 days ago.  He is a great kid but just needs an outside person to help him get started in the right way.  So I am now a mentor and soon to be college helper!  giggles....is that a word....grins.  That is right he has decided to go back to college for graphic design but was worried about math classes .....so I told him no sweat...we will do it together!  He is also working on getting a job...and the women is suppose to call him in a few days to hire him....fingers crossed.  Meanwhile he is having to work off a fine that he got.....in my little new town!  great huh!  But all is going well and they are letting him work it off paying him min. wage.  Yeah....granted he has got some hours to put in....but has been doing great about getting up and going to work.  I also believe that he has quite drinking as well....by the way....he is a very young 20 years old.  So we have been talking and he wishes very much to change his life and get some schooling to get a good job.  We have bonded very well and I am more like a friend....and also I am neutral in his life.  I believe that has made a real difference in his life.  I guess one thing ...........it will show me if I would have made a good mom or not.

Everything else has been going great and my health is still at a all time high!  wow...it is really hard to believe the change.....and it is nice not to be sick all the time!  So know that I miss you all and hope to make it back....for it should be slowing down with winter approaching!  Be well my Fart muffins....and hope that you are wearing that cute lil smile that I love so well!!!

XOXO

Deeitsme!
