Good Thursday Morning


It is the last day of winter.  We have are suppose to get up to 72 today.  That is fine with me.  I really don't like hot weather.  I have seen some beautiful trees.  The colors are so pretty.

We don't have much planned today.  We are going to do school.  I hope to go walking.  We need the walk so bad.  I find it relaxing to walk during the day.

We got some floor covering put in last night.  Vicki gets to take a shower in her new shower this morning.  She is so excited.  I am really tickled for her.  I believe she likes her new bath.  It is beginning to look a lot better.

I guess I will run and get my day started.  Take care and enjoy the day the Lord has given us.

Good Wednesday Morning


It is beginning to feel a little more like spring.  Yesterday was so beautiful here in SC.  The sunshine was so pretty.  It wasn't to hot or to cold. 

We are going to do school today.  We also have church tonight.  I hope to go walk in there also.  We need to get back to walking.  Everytime we start something goes wrong for awhile.  I really like to walk.  It makes you feel better.

We are still remodeling.  Vicki's bathroom is about done.  I am trying to decide what color to paint it.  She wants red.  I really think that will be to dark.  I need to find some color samples and go through them.

I can't believe this year has went by so fast.  It won't be long until we will be finishing up a new school year.  It goes by so fast.

I guess I will get my day started.  I haven't read my Bible yet.  Take care enjoy the day.

Good Monday Monday


It's Monday morning.  We had a busy weekend.  Remodeling is always busy.  Yesterday I did get to cut out my coupons and get them in my folder.  I was so glad to get caught up.  I did go to both services at church.  I did Children's Church yesterday morning.  I am doing Kid's choir now.  Please pray if you think about it.  I am really nervous and want God's annointing on it.  I know without annointing it isn't worth anything.

Vicki has coop this afternoon.  We enjoy this.  I don't teach but I do get to talk to the mothers of other children.  I chose to clean after coop and that is my work.  I really like it.  I vaccum two rooms.  It is easy.  Vicki is doing Ancient Egypt and also a mock trial.  The big bad wolf is on trial.  She will really, really like that. 

I have a load of towels going.  Vicki is relaxing before coop.  I honestly cheat on Monday's.  I let relax before we leave.  We make up for it during the week.

I guess I will get off and get my work done.  Take care and enjoy the day the Lord has blessed us with.

Good Sunday Morning


It's the Lord's day.  We have church this morning & evening.  I am starting a new adventure at church.  I am doing most of the work for the Kid's choir now.  The Lady who was over it isn't physically able to be over it at this time.  I am really worried about this.  God will have to annoint me.  I know without him this won't be done.

We are in the process of remodeling our trailer.  We have a mess right now.  I know it will be just a short season and this will be over.  I will be glad. 

We have been so busy lately.  Vicki with her doctor's appointments and all this remodeling.  I feel like I am going and coming at the same time.  I meet myself going out the door and coming in. 

We are to get rain today.  It is raining now.  Rain makes the air smell so clean.  I really like that smell. 

We have coop tomorrow.  I hope to get our life back to some kind of normal.  It really makes it rough when it isn't normal.

I guess I have bored you enough.  Take care and enjoy the day the Lord has given us.  He is good and worthy to be praised.

Good Friday Morning


The early hours of Thursday morning proved to be interesting at my house.  Vicki came home from church Wednesday night and started throwing up.  She kept throwing up and started running a fever.  I took her to the ER.  They gave her a bag of fluids and a Reglan for the nausea.  This is Vicki's first time to the ER.  I have said I was thankful as hyper as she is she has never been to the ER.  I was so proud of my little trooper.  She hates needles.  She has a fit.  She did so good.  She was up all night Wednesday and maybe slept about and hour and half Thursday morning.  We went to bed last night at 6:00pm.  It is 7:11am and she is still asleep.  I know she really needs it.  I think we take things slowly today.  I will see how much work or if any work she feels like doing. 

It is suppose to rain this weekend here.  We are need of rain so I am grateful.  Rain seems to clean the air and make things smell so clean. 

I guess I will run and start my day.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Monday Monday


A new week has begun.  We had a great revival at church last week. God really blessed.  I am so thankful for that. 

Vicki is eating breakfast and we going to start school.  I am really doing Apologia Science this year.  We are doing Astronomy.  It is really interesting.  History this year we are doing Presidents.  We are enjoying this too.  Next year we are going to do American Governemnt.  I thought that would continue on with Presidents.  That will teach her about the Presidents job.

I can't believe February is almost over.  It seems time is getting faster and faster.  I know we hardly have time for anything. 

I will run.  Take care and enjoy the day the Lord has blessed us with.

Good Wednesday Morning


It is very cold here in SC.  I know it is in the teens.  I am thankful my family is warm.  Vicki is still sleeping.  She is having a hard time with sleep.  I am letting her catch up.  We can school late this afternoon also. 

I can't believe it is already February.  I was writing up Vicki's work yesterday.  This school year is just about gone.  It seems to be going by so fast. 

I am hoping we can get a garden in the ground this year.  That will really help Vicki out some.  She loves be outside in the dirt.  She will also learn a lot about growing.  I thought about doing Apologia Botany Science next year.  That would go good with that.

I guess I will start my day.  It is so peaceful this morning.  I like to start my day with quiet.  God seems so real when it is quiet.  Take care and enjoy the day.

Good Tuesday Evening


We have been busy today.  We got a lot of school work done.  I am so glad.  I feel like if I am behind the world will come to an end. 

I am looking for a good writing curriculum for next year.  Vicki has been using Handwriting Without Tears.  She has a hard time writing.  We are working on cursive.  I looked at a Sunlight thing they had.  She needs something that lets her put her letters into words.  She will be in the 6th grade.  I know she will mostly have to type her stuff.  I have been told that by an Occupational Therapist.  I would like her to able to write descent though.

It has been cold here.  It is suppose to get colder this week.  I really wished it would snow.  I love snow not ice but snow. 

I guess I had better run for now.  Take care and enjoy the day.

If anyone has any suggestions on writing curriculums please let me know.

Good Saturday Morning


The sun is shining here today.  We have some school to finish today.  We are kind of behind for me.  I usually like having way over 100 days by now.  We have around 95.  I know that don't sound like alot behind but for me it is.

Dh and Vicki have to make a graph of our trailer.  They are working on home safety.  They want to know where the fire escapes are.   We are going to do some other school stuff.

I think I will grill some hamburger steak with mushrooms and onions for supper.  I have some left over green beans.  I don't know what else I will fix.  I have some Amish bread I am going to make this afternoon.  Dh loves this stuff.  He could eat it everyday.

I will run for now.  Take care and enjoy the day.

Good Tuesday Afternoon


We have been working on school today.  It seems this year is flying by.  We are working on Presidents for History.  I think this has really been interesting.  I have really enjoyed this.

We went to the grocery store today.  I love doing my coupons.  I really feel liking I am saving some money.  Bilo had where you can the the Lasagna and get the salad, bread, dessert, and salad dressing for free.  I just $10.00 on this.  I was happy.  I also had some good coupons for other stuff.  I really love saving money.

I guess I will run and get some work done.  I have supper in the oven.  I need to fold some clothes.  That job never ends.  Praise the Lord we have them.  

Take care and enjoy the day.

Good Friday Morning


We are getting up to a slow start this morning.  Vicki is having a hard time sleeping.  She is really waking up scared.

We are going to do school work and then hopefully work outside some.  We have a few things we need to do out there.

I have been really doing good with coupons lately.  Our local grocery store is having triple coupons this week.  I have been using the fire out of them.  I have got some good bargains.  I have been really doing good at CVS lately also.  I have made money there.  I was tickled.

I guess I better run and get my day started.  Take care and enjoy the day.

Good Tuesday Morning


The snow missed us last night.  Vicki is very disappointed.  She really wanted it to snow. 

We don't have a lot planned today.  I thought we might watch the swearing in of the President.  I don't like who won but I have to pray for him and our nation.  This is a part of history so I thought I would let Vicki watch and count it as school.  We are studying Presidents this year for history. 

I am going to bake some amish bread this afternoon.  Dh loves this stuff.  He would eat every bit of it if I let him.  I also got some clothes to fold. 

Well I guess I will run and get my chores done.  Miss Vicki is tired so she is sleeping a little late.  Take care and enjoy the day.

Good Friday Morning


It has been a very cold morning here.  We are staying in.  We are late getting school started this morning.  Vicki has been put on a new medicine.  Actually the medicine isn't new but the way she is taking them is different.  She is taking a patch for Clonidine.  We are kind of taking it easy until we see how she does on it.

We are going to have a peaceful weekend this weekend.  We don't have any plans so far.  That is good.  I really like having some time to breath.  We go so much till it is nice to be at home. 

I have a load of laundry going.  It seems towels never end in my house.  I have about two loads to fold.  That will be it for clothes for the day.  I also need to make one more bed.

I guess I will run.  I don't have anything exciting in my life going on right now.  Take care and enjoy the day the Lord has blessed us with.

Good Monday Morning


It has been over a year since I lasted blogged here.  We have had so much going on.  Dh had a heatattack in July.  He is doing good.  He needed a stint in the main artery.  God was really good to us in that time.

We are going to do some work to our trailer.  We are going to redo the floors.  I want new showers only.  I need some more counter space.  I also asking for a dishwasher.  That would really be nice. 

Vicki is doing good in school.  We have changed a few things this year.  I am really impressed with what we are using.  I really doing a unit study on Presidents.  I thought with last year being a election year that would be good.  I wasn't crazy about who won but God is in control.  He will take care of us.

Vicki is having to go to an urologist in February.  I really don't what is going on there.  I pray they find out.  I believe I know every bathroom around. 

I guess I better run.  I have to make some potato salad for supper.  I also got to get ready for coop.  Vicki is enjoying it this year.  We went with a big coop.  I really like it.  I have met a lot of nice ladies.  I have got into couponing really good.  I love it.  I love CVS.  I make money there. 

Have a good day.

Good New Year's EVE


I can't believe this is the last day of the year.  Time is really flying by.  I don't make New Year's Resolutions.  I just try to be better each year.

I am fixing cube steak with gravy and potatoes.  Randall may go to the church at the youth gathering.  I am not going.  Vicki came home last night from church and was sick.  I spent the night on the floor of our living room sleeping because she was on the couch.  I was scared she would get sick and I wouldn't hear her.

I guess tomorrow we will have collards and peas.  I like to eat them on New Year's.  I don't know what kind of meat will go with them.

I want to wish a Blessed New Year.  May God give you peace and love for the next year.  Take care.

Good Saturday Morning


It rained here yesterday and last night.  It rained so hard last night that when it hit the trailer roof I came straight out of bed.  I had forgotten how it sounded on a trailer.  Our yard is a mudhole.  I can't wait to see how much the pavement will be.  I really can't wait to see it done.  We will have plant grass.  I know that will be a job.  I know you have to get the soil ready for it.  We will see how that goes.

Not much planned today.  I do planning on getting more stuff from my Moma's.  I need some more clothes.  I am going to clean my carpets this evening.

I am going to get everything ready to start school Wednesday.  I really need to get everything the way I want it for here.  Vicki is excited and scared about starting school in our new home.  I know she will get bored as usual when it starts up.

I guess I will run for now.  Take care and enjoy the day.

Good Saturday Evening


We have moved.  We have been here 2 weeks.  We are enjoying being here.  It isn't a big house or mansion but I thank God for it.  We do have a big screened in porch in the front of our trailer.  I love it.  We grilled steaks tonight because of the porch.

I can't Christmas is almost here.  I really love this time of year.  It is so nice to be able to see the lights. 

I guess I will run.  I haven't been on in a long time.  I had to change emails and then my password I forgot.  I am getting old.

Have a blessed night.

Today is the day I break my computer down to move.  I will be changing internet providers.  I will probably be gone for a few days.  I need to get my stuff in and get ready to move.  We all know that takes a little bit. 

I hope everyone has a good few days while I am gone.  If you happen to think about us please say a prayer.  I know God is going to work everything out but moving is stressful.  Vicki doesn't do well with changes. 

I will go and get my day started.  Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Good Wednesday Evening


It has been a good day.  We done some school today.  Vicki had a doctor's appt. this afternoon.  They are sending her to a dietician.  They are sending her to a occupational therapist that does something with headphones.  They are going to check for Sensory Auditory Proccessing Disorder.  I am thankful to be getting help for her.  I really know God is in this.  I was so displeased with drs. she was seeing.  She wasn't really trying to help her just medicate her.

We had a very good service at church tonight.  We had a man who goes to our church speak.  The title of his sermon was "What in the World are You doing?"  He took several scriptures and ask what we were doing for God.  It really hit home.  I truly enjoyed it. 

I guess tomorrow I will start buying what I need to move.  I am excited but know it will a big change for Vicki.  She doesn't do changes very well.  I know God will help her.  He has really been good to her lately.

I guess I will run and get ready for bed.  I hope everyone has a very good night.  Take care.

It has been a blessed day.  God has been good to me today.  He blessed me some answers to my prayers.  I am truly thankful.  I could never be thankful enough for what God has done for me.

I called today to order my cable and internet for our trailer.  They are coming out Saturday.  I am going to break my computer down Friday and take it on over there.  I am so excited.  I might not be around as much for a few days that is fine.

I have a list for several stores I am going to be going to get stuff.  I need food and cleaning supplies.  I had forgotten how much you need to run a house.  That should be fun going to all the stores this time of year. 

I guess I should run and get ready for bed.  Take care.
