HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLY

We had a great weekend. It started alittle scarry. I had gotten up Saturday morning and just enjoying being at home when Dad called me about 9:00 and said that he was on his way home. He had had a spill at work and hit his head. Scared me!!!
When he got here he explained that when he was pulling a plate off the machine the magnet slipped and he lost his balance and he fell backward and hit his head on the trash bin on the way down. He had a knot on his head and an abrasion. Thank God it was not any worst, because it sure could have been. He said that when he started his morning off like that he said it was time to come home. He took a nap and felt better. We went to Shirley's 50th birthday party. It was real nice. Good food and Good company.
Today we stayed around the house. Amanda, you need to tell the boys that Grandma's fan in her room got fixed. Yes, Robert put up a new fan in my bedroom and a new light in our bathroom. Whoa it is great to have some things fixed around the house.
I actually sewed alittle this afternoon and planted some flowers.
The other thing that occurred today is that our neighbor came and cleaned up the lot. He is serious about selling it. He put a big wood sign on the lot in big orange letters, "Lot for sale" with his phone number. Than he put a sign on at the end of the street on Cty Rd. 2919 with an arrow saying lot for sale. So we will see what will happen now.
Going to go read my book now. Actually it is Sue's book, "PS, I love you." It is good.
Dad is going to bed, but I took a 2 hour nap, so I do not believe I can go to sleep now.
All have a great week!

Busy Saturday

The boys and I had a great day today. When we got to the house last night, the boys were ready to get the toys out. I told them we would do that tomorrow. We watched ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS video that I had bought. Garrett loves to watch the videos on the computer. This makes it nice because Lance and I get the bed. Garrett sits in the big chair in front of the computer. Last night I got my pillow are fixed so I could watch and the boys decided that they wanted some popcorn. One likes it with SALT and the other likes it with pepper. Well, when I got back from the kitchen, Lance had stole my spot. The little tot was all propped up on my pillows just as relaxed as can be. Had to go get another pillow.
The boys and I slept in the king size bed and Dad slept in the garage room and actually move his stuff in the other bathroom so he would not wake us up in the morning. Garrett was up at 7 am and Lance slept till 7:45am. From than on we were busy. We got dressed and went to a garage sale down the street and Garrett found a RACE TRACK. I would have never seen it. We than went to the post office, the dollar store, Sylvia and James house, and the grocery store. Hats off to you two with kids. I had forgotten what it was to get two children in and out of seat belts, in to the store, and than back into seat belts!!. One time Garrett went, "Grandma! you forgot to put on my seat belt as I started the car. ....
Well, we made it home and thank goodness the race track I bought for 2 dollars was a Hit. We had a blast with it. The boys got picked up about 2:30 - 3:00 and than I took a shower and went to Scott Heimann's confirmation in Wharton at 5:30 pm mass. All the kids were home and it was good to see Lisa and Michelle. Shirley and Kinny made it also. Next Sunday we have Shirley's 50Th birthday party at her house.
Tomorrow I get to rest. Dad has to work again, so I can sleep late in the am since I already went to church and relax all day. Hope all are doing well. Love mom
