Good beautiful Saturday morning, it's going to be a scorcher today. We are supposed to see 105*
This morning will be yard sales. There are 6 sales in town, two are estate sales. Not sure I will make all of them, they are pretty spread out around the county. I'm also going to the health fair put on by our little hospital. they are giving away back packs for the kids and I am getting one for each of my neighbor boys, they are going to the water park today so won't be able to get their own.
My HICAP training is going well, I've only had two sessions so far. I go back on Tuesday. I am learning quite a bit. Too bad Medicare isn't just the same everywhere. In my small county there are only a couple of choices but if I lived in a larger city I would have more choices. I can see where it would be overwhelming.
I'm also considering, not sure if I will yet, but am thinking of going back to work. There is a job opening in the next little town for a secretary for the utility district. Basically the water department. Not much more than I was making while working but it does have benefits and a retirement. I am going to submit an application and see where it goes. A second retirement would be nice and I would be fully vested in 5 years. And it would give me health insurance on top of what my current retirement offers.
Life isn't just cut and dried, there is always a path to follow and often a fork in the road. It's an adventure.
Judi, ugh, mosquitos. those little suckers are awful. hope the water subsides so you can do your weeding. I also love Nannie McPhee, Marilyn and I watched it often along with Matilda.
Velda, you're on your way, first step is listing the camper. You go girl.
Lois, glad the tornados didn't affect you. I remember my first tornado warning, we were in Arkansas, I was very nervous and with an aunt who thought I was crazy because I came from earthquake country.
Flo, I read that you made a stuffed Llama and laughed. We stuff chickens and turkey's here, guess they do it differently where you come from
. Have you read Velda's post in the picture section. She made a great tutorial on posting pictures, I post pictures so seldom I often have to refer to it. If that doesn't work for you you can email me the picture and I will gladly post if for you.
Maryz, I did see the wonderful Halloween blocks being posted, they are very creative. Wishing your sister safe travels. Can't wait to hear about the boondocker experience. Do you need to entertain them or are they on their own.?
Sharona, I would love a monsoon, I just wish God would open up the sky and let it pour. Maybe not Noah style rain but a fourth of that would be very nice for our parched land.
Jana, glad you put the wheel chair ramp to good use, such a blessing that they are able to use it. Guess you will need to be sewing orange fabric every ball game from now on.
Izzy, thanks for the goat explanation, I had always wondered and never thought to ask.
Jerry and his dog Moose are outside. Jerry waters the trees with a hose and Moose tries to eat the water before it hits the trees, both come inside rather damp.
Last night we had dinner with my parents ( dad and stepmom) at the Elks Lodge. I went way off my diet and ate all the wrong things including cake. You bake a regular chocolate cake from a mix. While it is still warm you add a jar of caramel ice cream topping and a can of condensed sweet milk and mix it all up, really make a mess of it. Then top with cool whip and if you like nuts. It's a wonderful gooey messy cake. I brought most of my dinner home and will have it later today.
I need to hit the showers, my sales start soon and I want to be sure to get the good stuff because I need more stuff. I'm a bit crazy for yard sales but it's the thrill of the hunt I like.
You all have a super day
Chriss
