My word for scams. You hear of new ones everyday it seems. Glad this one was ridiculous (lack of an address) and that your cousin got to visit with everyone.

I read this to my husband. Did you notice I said her husband??? He said uh huh and went on about his business. If only!!!!

What a great husband and productive weekend also CLee. You are blessed!

Good Monday Morning Everyone

How many of you remember the song Monday, Monday but the Mamas and Papas? I loved their music back in the 60's.....phew, that shows my age doesn't it!!!! Ah well, good song!

DDIL just called asking us to watch DGS this morning. She's got some kind of bumps popping up here and there all over her body. Her sister, a nurse, told her what she thinks it is and it needs a Dr. and some meds. So, DDIL is off this morning to get it taken care of. She said now, this morning, her joints are aching too and she's feeling pretty miserable so hopefully whatever it is the meds will take care of quickly. Another one of those things can be taken care of easily today, I hope, but when/if the then what do we do????

The sun is shining beautifully this morning but I haven't seen 1 goldfinch. Strange how that works!

Have you all been looking at the moon? We've missed it due to cloud cover. I hate it because a harvest moon in the fall is so big and gorgeous that it makes me gasp. I can't imagine what this moon must look like. 2029 is the next time, doubt I'm here to see it, soooooo.

Here comes my little boy. You all have a great day and let us know what's going on with you.

Mornin'

I've never seen such a sight as I witnessed this morning. Our yard looked like it was full of dandelions BUT it was goldfinches. Hundreds of them fluttering around in the grass. What a pretty picture it made. Then it started raining and they've disappeard. You'd think I could see the yellow of at least one in a tree but nary a hint of yellow anywhere.

This morning I'll have to be in town by 9:00 to get set up for our preschool social thank you. The preschool is closing, this is it's final month. I hate it but as with all these shrinking little towns it's just not something we can keep open. The state now requires a teaching degree and with so few children we can't afford that kind of salary even if there was someone willing. I hate it but the government has its rules no matter if you're a town of 250, like us, or millions.

We've had many community benefits over the years to raise money so this morning we're having a thank you for the town. It'll be at the Methodist church after the community Sunday School program. You're all welcome!

I made the bars I wrote about yesterday and they're "ok" but I threw the recipes away as they aren't worth making again. With a cup of coffee they'll do BUT well, you know what I mean.

So everyone, hope you have a good day and get to see or have some sort of amazing thing happen to you today like I did with the finches.

Neat sight Arby. Guess my first project will be te goose spoon. Yeah right!

I like his poncho too.

Preetty dishes CGA. I love Corelle for it durability, stacking, weight, loading the dishwasher, etc.

Good Morning Sunshines and to Friday!

DH and I are watching a new hatching of Canada goslings as I write. It's the first we've seen this year and are they ever cute waddling with mom in front and pop in back (or visa versa) headed to the pond. It looks like there's between 9-12.

That makes me think. Yes the cows were fine yesterday. I finally noticed a goose snapping at their heels and making them run. Must have been too close to a nest.

It's a beautiful sunny morning here and I'm hoping to get sheets hung out soon, if the wind calms a little. Living on the prairie the wind does blow!

We had rain again last night and it they predicted hail but we dodged the bullet this time. Thank heavens. Corn is up everywhere so we'll go from a black (soil) world soon to a vivid green (corn and beans) one. In the fall we'll have the "amber waves of grain", as the song says. I'm rattlinlg!

Let us know how your day is going and remember to smile!

I remember those days way back when you wrote that Cat. We were so much younger as was Mrs. S. but it's still true and so well written.

This is a YOU GOT ME post. I have sewn (sewed?) for years, using the tomato pin cushion and had NO idea the little strawberry was for anything except to be in the way. I wasn't smart enough to even question that it might be for something. Wow, this is cool. Is it to sharpen pins and needles?

Good work TMC! I enjoyed it very much and am waiting for the next.

As always you did a great job Snowmom!!! Thanks!
