It sure makes my problems seem small....

A Find...

I must be getting more like Mike....Last night I went for a walk around the neighborhood and one street down from mine they had these clay pots piled up for the monthly bulk trash to pick up. I decided I wanted them so I came back to the house and got the pick up and went back ans loaded them up...I would have asked but there were no lights on in the house....I have not gone completely over the edge. They had a BIG pile of other crap and I only took the clay pots...The Girl and I will plant seeds in them in a few months...

Benjamin...

had his Christmas play today....he was the best Elf ever!
I have movies but I am not smart enough to get them posted....he knew all of the words to all of the songs...

Thursday...

I called Kris and the gallon glass jar of pickled stuff made it there just fine....Darrel is all ready eating it....Kenzie was watching a movie...She did not get much TV time at my house while she was here.

I am at Missy's waiting for her french doors to be delivered from Home Depo, sometime between 9-11...I have made a whole pot of coffee, I hope they do not get here before I get it all drank. I do not have a travel cup with me...she has dirty dishes but I am only going into the kitchen to fill my coffee cup so I am not temped to fill the dishwasher...Actually, I would not mind filling it but it probably needs to be emptied first and I am not doing that...

Her doors will be installed Sat morning...I am excited. Her handle fell off her sliding glass door AGAIN last night....I looked and it is back on....she probably did it with a butter knife...

Well it is going to be a boring day at my house...No Grand Kids at all...Tomorrow Benjamin has his little Christmas play at his school and I will go to that and bring him home afterward. So tomorrow will be lively...

Missy has been loosing weight hand over fist...I will have to get a picture....She was out of clothes that fit and she bought a bunch of new work clothes last weekend from Ross...They are all size 8 and 10...She eats very little. That is hard for me to do. I am sure I would feel better if I took off 50 pounds.....or more...That reminds me I wonder what she has in her frig to eat....probably lettuce...

Update

The Girl made it home fine...I have not spoke to her Mama this Morning yet...We sent a gallon jar of Hot pickled cauliflower to her Daddy...it was wrapped good and placed between clothes in the suitcase...I hope it did not break...I will see....We have sent it back this way before...Darrel can not buy it out there...
