So today

 I tipsy tervied a big log into the weeds in the field. Drug a large tub of soil and dumped it into the hole by the water valve outside.

I used a regular machine to finish a rainbow on a pillow case for wrenley. I’m pretty tired and out of breath.

I read my machine manual Fleta printed for me. I found out a few things I did not know how to do.

I’m going to sew a little later.  I’m going to try to finish 2 pillow cases for wrenley. They are satin and trust me she needs them to sleep on for her hair.

I am hungry. I guess I need to cook something.

Another

 Beautiful day. I worked outside a bit today. I cleaned out one of my long vegetable containers and found about a dozen onion bulbs. They were still firm and about the size of golf balls so I replanted them. 

Fleta drug the large log out of my yard using Robert’s pick up. It had fallen from pattys tree. Her big tree is in pretty bad condition.  I just hope it out lasts me. 

I have my other bedroom window air conditioner on the back porch. I was feeling pretty strong today and had no problem lifting it.  Eliseo and Robert said they will get the one out of the living room window tonight and put it in the shed for me. I hope they do because I barely have it balanced, ready for them to get it out. 

I have no pics to post today. My ones I posted yesterday are beautiful.

Not much happening today

 But I do have great pictures.

These are friendly taken this weekend. Her little cousin got baptized. I think what he was. It was something like that and you could see one of the pictures she’s holding her hand. Wrenley is doing great with her potty training. She wears big girl panties. I told her granny was coming to see her and I had lots of potty toys but I guess we don’t need potty toys anymore cause we go potty all the time in the big girls potty and so I guess she’ll just get to open them like presents. She thought that was a fun idea.

The weather‘s been wonderful here. I’m so thankful.

Wrenley 4 years old.

Hope springs

 Eternal!  Jorge said I should have my car by Monday! Oh I hope it’s fixed!

Tonight Kenzie is hosting her family meal. I hope they all show up. 

Fleta is off work tomorrow. She has to go to the eye doctor. She is going to take me to the bank to get cash out for payment on my car. 

I tripped and fell hard in the kitchen today. I am putting it on the blog so I can remember what day it happened. It’s a wonder I did not knock a hole in the floor. I hit really hard. 

It did not rain today. It has been sprinkling at least for several days. 

September 24th

 It should be a national holiday. It was the day Clayton was born. 

Clayton was special to me and I think to most of us kids. But I’m only going to speak for me. 

He was 10 years older than me and he drove our bus for 3 or 4 years while he was in high-school. That was a perk to me because I was the baby for a long time and I was very spoiled. I thought it was great Clayton drove me to school.

Clayton was also somewhat popular. He played high school basketball when basketball ment EVERY THING to Green Forest Hi. 

All of my class mates knew Clayton and thought he was so good looking. Really it was his personality and charm that made him so attractive. He always knew just what to say to people to win them over. 

His senior year he had pictures of all of the pretty girls in his wallet. There was one picture of a SR girl laying on her bed on her side with the biggest valentine box of candy I had ever seen. Holding it in front of her. I don’t think she had anything else on but I’m not for sure. She wrote something mushy on it. I don’t remember what. I’m sure I was not to be looking in his wallet. 

Clayton had a letterman jacket with his bb letter on it. We did not have money to buy one but someone donated it to him. I’m not sure who it was but I have a good guess. He was very proud of it . all of the players had one.

The school bus he drove was a van. He would even drive it back to town for ball games. I imagine that was against the rules but I’m sure the coach. Principal, and  superintendent even knew he did it. It would not be allowed these days but he did have a way about him   I’m sure all of the teachers liked him.

After we both got older and he moved back to GF we sisters could call on him and he was always there to help.

He passed away doing what he loved… sitting in his recliner watching sports.. we girls laugh about that because so many people say that about a race car driver that died while driving. Or a sky diver that had a mishap and died. Maybe a pilot that died flying a plane. But not brother. He was just relaxing July 2, 2014 watching a ball game.

Sister Patsy said,

when Clayton died it just took all of the joy from her life. I think we all felt a little like that.
