Following Patsy and Fleta on my header....

The Girl got up early and we took two Cinnamon Rings to Carol Ray Ranch School...The office Girls were glad to see Kenzie, there was hugs all around. The Secretary said she had been keeping tabs on Kenzie at VVL to see how she was doing and was very pleased with the reports she was getting on her....Notice nothing was said about reports on me. I wish I had taken my camera but I did not think of it.

It is col here today and I am not sure what I am going to do today but I am not going to sleep the day away today...

I read Pat's post about Urban Chickens. City people keeping them in the back yards for eggs. I would not think this would be allowed in the city...Even I know it would not be profitable to try to raise chickens for cheap eggs...By the time you got and raised the chickens plus all of the feed I would be in the hole money wise...Plus I hate birds of any kind...Well, I should not say I hate them. I am scared of them thanks to Clayton...It is all his fault for having those flogging banties in the yard when I was small....

I have the kitchen cleaned up from the early morning baking but I am sure I should be doing something constructive...My car needs a bath....Maybe I will do that...

Austin...

Austin was over at my house 2 days this weekend and we had a good time...He will be having a birthday in a few days...He has been wanting a Lego set since months ago...He has tried to save up his money but it is $100. and it is hard to save that much when you are only 6...

When I had him a few weeks ago and went to take him home he wanted to stop and eat at McDonald's...Remember he did not know what slop he might be getting for supper! Haaa

So we stopped at a McDonald's a few miles from my house. When we pulled into McDonald's parking lot it just happened to be the same one Toys-R-Us is in...He got so excited...Stating something like 'And look Granny, there is the store that has that $100. Lego Set I have been wanting...You could get me that for my birthday. I know how you forget things, just remember it is the store right by this McDonald's. Can you remember that, Granny? Repeat it for me...The Lego set for Austin is in the store right by the McDonald's...'

He knows his Granny!

Bad News...

This is the first thing I read this morning on MSN....I knew it was coming but I was a little surprised at the number...It makes me sick to my stomach for every Mother's Son and Daughter...

WASHINGTON - Declaring “our security is at stake,” President Barack Obama ordered an additional 30,000 U.S. troops into the long war in Afghanistan on Tuesday night, nearly tripling the force he inherited but promising an impatient public to begin withdrawal in 18 months.

Up and Baking...

I woke up early this morning and thought this is a good time to make two cinnamon rings and take to Mackenzie's old school. Carol Ray Ranch, where her Mama worked two years ago. Last summer Kris went to see her old Principal and she gave her a raving recommendation letter. All of the office girls asked how I was feeling and wanted to know if I was still able to make those delicious Cinnamon rolls.

So this morning Mackenzie and I will be making the trek to her old school before we go to her new school.


BTW Mackenzie's new school seems to be working out well. One day last week and again yesterday Mackenzie commented she had gone to Mr. Hardy, her teacher, and asked him to clarify something. So yesterday I took the opening and asked her if Mr. Hardy was being nicer. Mackenzie said he was being much nicer lately. He did not seem mean at all. We decided he must have been sick those first few days when she started school.... I have to send him a note today and let him know Mackenzie will be leaving for winter break on the 16th at noon to catch her 3:00 plane home, instead of on the 18th at noon when school is out....I have not spoke to him since the CA. trip...It will not hurt to bring my face back to his mind once more..

I am still a little under the weather. I woke up early this morning because yesterday after I dropped Kenzie off at school, I came home and at 8:30 went to bed and to sleep. I slept till 1:30 when Kris called and woke me up...I would not even call that a nap...That was just an extra days sleep...

The Girl...

ready to go to school this morning....

Here is one of the jump suits Missy picked up on Black Friday for three bucks....I do not know how many we ended up with but I would say between Angels, and Grand kids it was at least 30...They sell for 12.99 at Wal Mart when they are not on sale...

Here is the Girl laying on her bed writing in her Diary...as you can see she has strung the Christmas lights around...
