Today was a quiet Saturday. We hit a few garage sales this morning and went to a local farms produce stand where we got delicious sweet corn and red potatoes. I used them for dinner tonight with really, really good chicken that I made. Sean did more work in the upstairs bathroom. I can't wait until it is done! I should be able to paint this week. The floor is done, the baseboard is up and the sink should go in next week.
Gabe went to an Akron Aeros ball game tonight with my sis's family and some people from church. It is a yearly outing and he has gone every year since he was three. My dad and mom started taking him so it is special for Gabe. Apparantly while there he lost another tooth! He called to tell us and we decided that he should bring it home and we would leave it for the tooth fairy tomorrow night. He was so ecited!
We dropped off some clothes for great nieces and nephews at my sister in laws tonight and I got to see my niece Beth. She is the short haired, pierced girl in the photos. She is getting married in a few weeks and then leaves for Basic training on August 27th. Yes, that will be 3 of my nieces and nephews that have entered the military this summer. She is leaving behind a one year old daughter and new husband. I pray for her safety and for her new family. She is a beautiful girl and incredibly strong - inside and out - so I know she will do well. The only thing is her tendancy to get a bit mouthy. I think they will cure her of that real quick!
Oh, How could I forget!!! I think that when Lura got rid of Godiva, she sent her to my house. I was cross stitching on the couch last night, thankfully with a sheet on my lap. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and when I checked it out it was a big spider! I shreiked for Sean and when he smooshed it all these little black dots started racking around. I assume those would be babies being carried on it's back. EWWWWWWW! I had trouble getting relaxed after that. But No panic attacks!!!!
I want to thank you all for your kind words. I have a horrible self-image, but I am aware of it and getting help for that. I also recognize that I am a doormat and I don't speak my mind. Again, I am getting help for it. You guys are fabulous women and I am honored to call you my friends. I love you guys dearly and Thank the Lord for each and every one of you.
Good Night.
