Beautiful Fall day

Had to come in and see what is going on in journal land before I get outside for my last(I hope) garden clean up. Leo is still sleeping because he doesn't really want to go and do the work either but we will ........
Yesterday I finished reading "All The Way Home" by David Giffels. It was an interesting book and made me feel I was a member of the family almost...Just a small book but he tells how he bought a rundown huge house and about the remodeling of it and the family life they had there. Last night I finished the first chapter of "The Longest Trip Home" Its going to be another interesting book I think.... John Grogan telling about his growing up and meeting his wife and about his parents.... the auther of Marley & Me.
Yesterday was a good day too, just did the laundry and when we were just about decided to go and do the yard work Gary came home early from work and wanted to go golfing with Leo so in about 5 min they were off. I don't blame them as it was a perfect day for it.
I enjoyed Obama's telecomercial last night. We all think he will make a wonderful president.... :>)
Now I must get going ..... well slowly..... I still have to have my coffee and breakfast

See you soon,
Sandra

Cold and Sunny

It was supposed to rain today so we didn't plan on doing the yard work, and besides it is too cold today. The weather man said Wed. Thur. and Fri will be better days so thats when we plan on doing it. By the way this isn't a picture of my house but of the pumpkin patch house, in case you were wondering..... Nice old house though and well kept.
I didn't do much this week end. Mostly read ec on Saturday and Sunday we went to Church and then shopping. Leo suggested we go to Penneys to look for some shirts for me.... i couldn't find them but a saleslady asked me if I could find what I was looking for and when I said no she remember seeing something like that and they were stuck on the bottom of a shelf in a place no shopping cart could go. They were just plain ones and I wanted something with a print but I bought 2 anyway since I'm having trouble finding them this year. I got a pink and a blue and when I got to the checkout I found out they were more than 50% off. so that was good and I have one on today and it fits perfect and matches my dark pink sweater with the v neckline..... then we went to Piggly Wiggle and got some food and came home and watched the race and ate. LOL So much for my diet but I will get started on that soon..... (I had better)
After my son and Carley came over and Carley and I played on the computer and she showed me where I could find some cute clip art. She said she uses that for her school work and letters to her friends.... She is in 5th grade. She is selling magazines for her school so I bought one and so did my daughters and son and her other relatives in Minn. so she will do ok I hope.
My son Gary wasn't going to vote but by word of mouth he got a ballot in the mail and filled it out and now has voted....What a guy....lol
Haven't a clue what I will do the rest of the day but Mondays are always good days for cleaning up around the house.....
Hope your day is a good one

Rainy Day

Its a nice rainy day today..... don't feel guilty about the yard work so we went to Krolls for lunch and then shopping. I needed some mock neck shirts to go under other shirts for winter and winter is coming. They didn't have exactly what I wanted and went to 2 stores.... why this year I wonder when they have had them every year for the past 10 or more.... Anyway I got 3 of what they had so that is good anyway. I also got my hair trimed .... was going to get it cut shorter but at the last minute I changed my mind and just got a trim. Better than being sorry isn't it
I just finished reading "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society" I enjoyed it. Its just a small book about a group of people in 1946.... it tells how they endured the ocupation of the Germans for 5 years and then after what happened.... It was all letters and the story was very interesting.... wish I could know more.... It was just a short book with 274 pages. Now I'm going to start reading All the Way Home by David Giffels I believe its a true story .... one like Marley and me but instead of a dog its a man rebuilding a house with his little son.... will let you know. :)
So now I will read the blogs and turn on tv maybe for the first time today and its already 3:45 must be something else going on in this crazy mixed up world of ours,

I just got some pictures from Shari my other daughter ... Mindy is her daughter and She baby sits for Morgan and Brenna when needed

Today I did some yard work and Leo is still out there but my back started hurting... its cool out but when working you would be surprised how warm it gets.... wish my old body was in better shape to last longer out there but I'm sure there is still more work I can do next week. Next week because its supposed to rain tomorrow and maybe Sat too....
I haven't eaten yet today so off I go to make something to eat.... Im starving

Beautiful Fall Day

Its another beautiful fall day here..... I guess I have no excuse but to get outside and do a little more yard cleanup...... but I will think of something. Monday and Tuesday were busy days, just doing laundry and cleaning up stuff. Today is the day Pogo gives us new games for badges.... hahahahaha I gotta go and see what I will do today for another badge.
Leo is home from fishing and is eating his breakfast so it will be awhile yet before he starts the yard work I guess. He has some more bags of mulch to spread around. I suppose if I want them in any special place I should really get out there. I used to do all the fall yard work but lately he has decided he will do it. Of coarse it was better done when I did it ( lol) but its easier this way and I like easy.
So If I find something to write about I will come back, otherwise have a nice day

Pic of daughters family etc

Julie and her family went to the park and had their pictures taken.... I just had to put them in here because everyone looks so happy and I want to remember when it was taken.My Great Grandaughters are growing so fast
We had an uneventful week end..... Went to church Sunday .... the man that is running for congress was there (he did not talk or campaign) Makes me wonder if I should vote for him now. Wasn't going to but he is such a nice man but then the other guy is too so whoever makes it we lucked out I believe.
I was going to do yard work today but I just can't get going this morning. I have to push myself but I should remind myself how good I wil feel when I do.LOL
We got a new telephone yesterday too. One for my computer room. The one I had the numbers wore off and I couldn't see who was calling. very frustrating so I got a new one and it was not much money either.... it has covered buttons so I won't be wearing off the numbers. Wonder why that happened .... also wore off some of the numbers on my old keyboard...... does that happen to you?
Hope you are having a nice day and can push yourself to get at it this Monday morning
