Well, it’s been a great day, and there’s still plenty of it left. I’ve done laundry, cleaning, errands, and some work in the kitchen, but I feel like doing some more in my cupboards before calling it quits. We head to a wedding later, meet Megan for supper, and she’ll be here with us till […]
Free Time
It’s been one (maybe serveral) of those days. I must just be ready for the weekend. What would make me really happy is to spend tomorrow puttering around in my kitchen–you know, rearranging and organizing. It’s not the usual recreational activity, I know, but it works for me. We have a wedding to attend in […]
America’s Got Talent
Wow!!! I don’t know if you watch this show, but wow!! We will occasionally catch some of American Idol, but this is so much better…the acts aren’t all singers that sound a lot alike. We’re down to the final ten, and even though all but one act is singing, there is such variety. We’ve got […]
Some Weather
Okay it’s really Thursday, September 18, 2008…not sure why the post says yesterday…sorry. Hooray!! Our top five picks made the final five on America’s Got Talent. Okay, so we get excited about the simple stuff. It’s been a beautiful week–fall is always my favorite season, followed closely by spring. Today when I was home for […]
Do I Really Want to be in Charge?
It was another beautiful fall day, but unfortunately, I spent it inside. I thought I would go for a walk after work, but I ran out of time. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just stretch out the nice days and let the not so nice ones go faster? It’s probably a good thing […]
Grain Inspection
The start of another work week and I was visited by my state grain inspector. I’ve worked at my job for 12 years and keeping corn records was the most challenging aspect of my work to learn. These inspections are always by surprise and they arrive needing all the records up to date and turned […]
Race Nights
After a cold windy day the wind went down, the sun came out, and it was a perfect evening for a walk. The small town we live in has a 1/2 mile dirt stock car race track. I could hear the cars racing last night until really late…I know they were still racing at 12:30…then […]
Saturday
It’s been raining the last few day here, but this afternoon we’re seeing sunshine again. The rain was welcome, but now it’s time to mow again. My husband’s company has its Christmas party tonight, yes, I said Christmas. They do it in September and have golfing in the aftern00n for those who want. It’s nice […]
Iowa vs Iowa State
I’m having some sort of problem with my website listed in my Great Places to Visit section. I’m in touch with my server and hope to have it resolved soon. Sorry for any inconvenience. It’s time for the weekend again—yahoo!!! Iowa plays Iowa State tomorrow, and even though we ourselves are not great football fans, […]
9/11
We were flipping through channels on TV tonight and the History channel is showing 9/11 video from all kinds of sources. It’s very personal and chaotic and hard to watch, yet hard to look away. It’s something you want to forget but must never forget. My heart goes out to all those whose lives were […]
