Does anybody else remember who was always age 39< besides me! Today is my birthday. We went out lst night to a friend's house who got me a cake and "Braves's" errings! We will go out to eat tonight too!

Our chipmunk came back yesterday and ate his little pile of food. Anyone know why we named him Alvin?

I have spent a very pleasant hour watching a chipmunk on my back porch. We have noticed him(her) for days trying to get birdseed from under the feeder, but the much larger squirrels always chase him off. Today, I poured several cups of sunflower seeds right by my back door. He must have come up 15 times to fill his cheeks and run off to hide his treasure. He is so cute. I will start doing that on a regular basis.

Where is she? I miss her.

Thank you so much to all the men and women who have kept our country safe!
My father was a veteran of foreign wars.
He was born in 1899, so he lied about his age and joined the army during WWI.
After the was was over, he got out of the army for a few years, but then he rejoined. He was in Germany and France during WWII. All in all, he served over 30years before he retired. I am proud of him.

The Atlanta Braves won the eastern division in major league baseball yesterday. This year, there was only one day that they were not in first place.
I am proud of them.

Happy friday the 13th. I was married on Friday the 13th, so this is always one of my favorite dates.

My hear husband did just what he has done every labor day since I have known him, he labored. He went to work as usual. He is home now, but is cutting the grass. We cooked steaks out on the grill last night, so tonight will probably just be something like bacon and eggs.

My daughter died yesterday. I have no details, so I don't know why. I am still in shock.

I became a great grandmother yesterday. Little "Ima" was born about 9 am yesterday morning and weighs 7 lbs, 9 ounces. Mother (grandaughter) and daughter are doing well.

We had an offer on our lot last weekend. We got the lot as part of the down payment on our last spec house. It is a beautiful 2 acres with a great mountain view. It sounds like it will close pretty soon. The new owners are anxious!

Yesterday, we celebrated our 36th anniversary. I cannot blieve how fast time moves. We went out to dinner last night to celebrate! We don't go out that often any more and I enjoy it more now. A ver pleasant evening and an excellent dinner. Plus the braves won 10-1!!

Today is the first day of May. May has always been my favorite month. I guess that is why I was married in May. (But it helped that my dh proposed to me the first week of April)

We had a bad storm here on Wednesday. I have never seen so much rain and hail in my life. Our yard was completely flooded and the creek came out of the banks. I thought we were going to have to leave the house for a while, but the water finally receeded.
The storm knocked out all the internet in this area and we just got it back today. That is why I have been missing for a few days!

My brand new heat/ a/c unit has quit working and it is still kind of cold here. I am wearing a sweater and a coat! My a/c man is a big church goer, so I doubt if I will get him out here today.
Also, we had to buy a new battery for the old corvette today too. The garage door man is here to fix the garage door, so it is turning into an expensive day.
The good news is that the braves won again today; their 9th straight game with only one loss.

I need to go and pick up our income tax forms today. For once, we are getting some money back. The spec house that my husband built did not sell last year. We closed in January. Now, we have another one for sale.

I found my first money of 2013. I f ound a dime in the parking lot yesterday. Last year i found a grand total of $1.31, so I am on my way for this year with 10 cents! lucky March 13th!

DH got a new house to build. It won't be a real big house. Actually, we built another house for this couple about 11 years ago and they still live in it. They want a vacation cabin now!
I guess they don't like driving too much cause the cabin will be in the same town as their main house.
Dh is getting ready to start another spec house and this cabin will be right next door. That's handy!

I am having my baby spayed today. I have to admit, I don't really like it. I did not have the last two poodles spayed. It scares me.They stay inside, so no chance they could get pregnant. I did get my Molly spayed. (maltese-poodle mix) Abbey is a maltese, 9 months old. I can hardly wait to go and pick her up. I hope she will recover quickly . I have no idea what this will cost.

This is week 5 of my 52 week challenge. This week, I was only able to add $24, but it is better than nothing, right!

WE are having company for supper tonight. I bought a ham to fix. The store receipt says that I saved $29 by buying the ham on sale. I am NOT putting that aside cause I would NEVER pay that much for a ham.

I also got a birthday cake. (small) It is my dh's birthday tomorrow!!

I am on week four of the 52 week challenge. This week I have $51 to add to the challenge money. That brings me to a grand total of $157 on this four week old challenge.

I don't mean to brag, but I have always had a new house. I guess that is because I am married to a builder. Now, I will brag, he is the best builder in the state cause he does all thw work by himself. We have never had to repair or fix anything. I know that will end some day cause our house is 17 year old. Time for a new house????????

I went to the grocery store this morning to get something for dinner tonight and tomorrow night. I noticed that they had the big spiral sliced hams on sale.
I desperatly need to have over some friends for dinner. They have us over all the time. She is a great cook, which I am not! Most of the time my huband does our cooking. BUT, he works 7 days a week, so it is harad to have company very often.
I think I will buy a ham and invite them over next weekend. Ham is pretty easy to fix!

Today, Feb. 15th, will always be Elvis day for me! It is the only day I ever got to see Elvis in person in concert. He came to my area a lot when I was about 12 (Daytona beach) but my mother would not allow me to go and see him in person. I finally to to see him the year he died. He was great in person. I shall never forget him. I met my husband three days later, so it was the best week of my life. This was in 1977!

I just finished week 3 of the 52 week challenge. This weekI had $32 left over to add to the challenge. I thought that was pretty good!

My oldest granddaughter is 24 years old today. I remember coming home from the hospital at 5 am. in the morning, 24 years ago. It was 9 degrees outside. She got married back in early October. Now, I got a letter from her saying that she is pregnant. I am going to be a great grandma!
I know there are a lot of grandmas on this forum but I think I am the first to become a great grandma!

I play bridge at my house every monday! I love it! I took lessons a few years ago and have been playing ever since. Last Monday, my friend installed Bridge Baron on my computer. Now, I can play bridge every day! I love it. Do any of you play bridge? It is a cheap wasy to have fun!

I had an appointment this morning to take my puppy, Abbey in to get groomed. I got a call this morning that my appointment had been cancelled.
My groomer's house burned down to the ground early this morning. Their little poodle dog (just like my Holly) woke them up with her barking and saved their lives. The husband put the wife and dog out the window and went to save the pet bird. The bird escaped and the husband suffered from smoke inhalation and had to go to the hospital. They lost everything. I feel so badly for them.
I am going to give them a check for $1000 to help them out. I am so glad that they got out in time.

We finally had the house closing on Monday morning. It was poseponed from last Friday because of ice on the roads. It is the first closing that I ever went to, that I did not receive a check at the time of the closing. Ifound that very odd. We did not get the closing money until about 2:30 in the afternoon and my real estate agent brought it to me!
It is so nice to have money in the bank again for the spec house we are building now! (I had to borrow from my mutual funds and I don't like to do that) I plan to put the money back!
