Happy Halloween!

Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday (yes, even over Christmas). I guess it's because you can choose to be somebody or somthing that you couldn't (or wouldn't) normally be. Most of the time I dress up and go out to the nursing home to spend the evening with my mom and grandma. My second and third cousins will come trick-or-treating there. However, most of them are getting older and so there isn't as much trick-or-treating going on anymore. So, this year Scott and I are going to our friend's house to hang out for the evening. They have a seven month old and have opted to not take him out quite yet, but they are dressing him up to greet those who come there. We are making all kinds of yummy food to munch on and are turning on the Halloween marathon to watch. I can't wait! I think it's going to be a....scream :)

A funeral for two? (not for the queasy)

Yesterday Scott's dad had a little accident while out farming. Yes, it is known to happen quite often around our house. He was trying to fix a belt on the corn auger and lost control before realizing what he had done. Scott was there thank goodness and noticed his dad hold up his right hand over top of his left and Scott knew right away what had happened. So, he rushed him to the emergency room. Luckily, he only cut off the first and middle fingers on his right hand starting from the fingertip to the bottom of his fingernails. He has to go tomorrow to the orthopedic surgeon to see what they are going to do from here. Hopefully all goes well and he won't be in too much pain when the Dr. starts poking around on him. The good news is he's been through this all before when he was about twenty years younger and cut off his ring finger on his right hand (coincidence? maybe) on a fan blade in the hog house. So, good thing that finger was already gone, otherwise he would have clipped that one too :)

Friday Night

I love Friday nights! Pizza King, Madea's Family Reunion, and a glass of strawberry wine. Isn't life grand??

Have a good weekend everybody!

So....

Sorry for the long delay. Not much going on here. I realized the other day that I've been leading a pretty dull life lately. I get up, eat breakfast, take Chase (my half german shepherd, half australian shepherd) for a walk through the now harvested fields. I come back do some yoga, straighten up the house and take a shower. I go to the farm and work on paper work for about four to five hours. I run errands in town. I come home and make supper. I work on Mary Kay for the rest of the evening. I go to bed. I get up and do it again. Woooo....aren't you glad you read that? Sorry about shaving those few minutes from your life that you'll never get back.

I guess I do have some interesting news...a few weeks ago my purse was stolen out of our pickup straight from the driveway. Nothing major was in there except for my credit cards, checkbook, a cosmetic bag that had three dollars in the front pocket, a cell phone charger, a pair of sunglasses and a set of my car keys with my house key on it. So, we jumped through all the major hoops to get all the accounts shut down, replaced all the items, and opened up a new checking account. We also redid all of the locks. Fast forward to yesterday. I came home from town and there were two messages on the answering machine. One being the sherriffs department and one being a farmer who lives down the road from us. Apparently, the robbers didn't think there was too much that was interesting in there either because they took the sunglasses, charger, and the cosmetic bag and threw all the rest of it into the corn field. Very interesting. I guess I wasn't wealthy enough for their taste. That's what happens when you don't carry cash :) I was never so happy to see my purse (just for closure purposes). However, when I got it home it was full of mud, stuffing from where animals have chewed it up, and of course mama mouse and her brand new bundles of joy. An entire nest. Yuck! Needless to say the entire purse with all it's contents (except for my car keys) went into the firepit. Case closed!
