Wonderful Wednesdays

Every week I look forward to Wednesday nights. That is the night I put aside to have dinner with my niece and nephew. They are sophmores in college and very much appreciate getting off campus. We have some great chats during out dinner time. I don't know what I would do without those kids. I love them to pieces.

I'm back--again

I know I have said this before but....I'm back to the blogging world. Hopefully I can keep up with it better this time. Lots has happened since my last post. I sold my house the beginning of August, rented a town home in Woodbury, and moved the end of August. I have been living here now for about 5 weeks and love it more and more every day. It is really nice not to have a yard to mow, gardens to tend to, and a 90 mile/day commute. I hope to now have more time to do other things. I am looking for ideas so if you have any, send them my way. Go Vikes!!

The Fam

Even though there are only 7 people in my immediate family, we don't have too many opportunities when we are all together and can get a picture taken. This weekend was one of those times. Here is my family!

St. Joseph Update

Last week I was given a St. Joseph statue from a co-worker of mine. I thought it was very sweet of her to care enough about me selling my house to do that. I debated for a couple days whether or not I should bury it. On Saturday, I decided "What the heck" and buried it in the garden next to the house. No results yet--and I am not holding my breath. Thanks Sheila for being so thoughtful!

Feathery frenzy

Outside of my kitchen window there is a birdbath clamped to the deck rail. On it hangs a "dripper" that drips fresh water constantly. Sunday must be the official bath of the birds. I caught one bath on video and thought I would share it with you.

Sign of old age?

Why is it on the days I could sleep in I can't? I remember asking my Dad why he always got up so early on Saturdays since he had to get up so early on the weekdays. His response was always "That's the way it is when you get old". I guess this is just another sign that I am getting old.

Choir of frogs

I cannot have my windows open at night. The choir of frogs is SO loud that I can't get to sleep. How does something so small make so much noise? Just another one of God's wonders!
