Happenings

Look Jerri! I'm Updating!!! :)

Quite a lot has been happening in my inky little world lately and I've been remiss on blogging it! Oooh! Bad Blogger! So here's the story...

First and foremost, Daddy's doing very well since his "broke back" episode. I'm still thanking God Everyday for making someone smart enough to invent Kyphoplasty! It's really been a life saver for him! Since the weather has started to really warm up, he's getting out and about more and is beginning to get back into the swing of life as he knew it.

Business is finally starting to pick up in the Baby Birthing world so work is back to it's hectic self. Just the way I like it! I tell ya... I get some Fierce kind of Bored during the down times!

Bill's truck finally coughed up a hairball and quit on him so we now have a New Car. He opted for compact and gas efficient this time so we went with a Ford Focus in a lovely shade of gray. He's such a proud papa with his little car! He gave it three baths within the first week we had it! LOL! Now if I could get him to do the same for MY car!

I've found FaceBook. Ya'll, I'm addicted! I wish that someone would have told me before I signed up that Facebook would suck your soul out through your eyeballs like it does! I feel like such a stalker! BUT... I have connected with several old friends from High School, and some old work friends that I've not heard from in Years! I got to have lunch with one of the old work friends, and spent a few hours reconnecting with my Best Friend from High School and her family. It just made my heart soar! In a couple of weeks Bill and I are heading over to Mississippi for a long overdue night away and Bill is going to be spending some time with one of his Best Buds from High School. So, if you aren't my friend already, come find me on Facebook! Oh... and join my Vampire Clan while you're at it! LOL!

Last weekend was my and Jerri's first Croppin' Chickadees Retreat. It was Such a BLAST!!! We didn't have quite as many people as we were originally hoping for, but the girls that were there certainly made up for it! We had some new folks to add to our scrapbooking circle of friends, we had cool Carnival food (Funnelcakes for Breakfast!), we even had someone making Balloon animals! If you didn't make it this time, save up your pennies... the Crop 2 Help Retreat is coming up the weekend of September 25th! Be there or Be Square!

Cancer Cat update... Charm is hanging in there for the time being. His cancer is growing and he's lost a good bit of weight. We've had to move to soft food, and he's spending more and more time in his spot under the bed sleeping. I had the windows raised the other day and He and Teensy shared some window sill time together so I, of course, got some pictures. I'm really afraid our days are numbered and I'm going to be without my furry partner in crime. I am so very thankful that I had the wisdom to pick two kittens out of their combined litters when I got my fur babies, and that they have both graced our lives for 5+ years.

Bill has been attending Mason meetings for a few months now with his buddy Mike. He finally turned in his application and was accepted. He had his initiation about 3 weeks ago and is working hard on his lessons so he can test up to the next level. He's having a great time and can't wait for Thursdays to roll around so he can go to "the Lodge". :)

So, that's about it for now. Life, as usual, is hectic but good!
