Is Christmas nearing?

I got up and got things around. I needed to get some laundry done as tomorrow starts the holiday weekend. Since I've been under the weather with my back I've been taking it easy all week long. I like my holiday weekends to do whatever i may want to do (like shopping). Even though i am frugal and don’t like to spend money i still love to shop til i drop. I love spending hours in the store just looking at things. Hubby just doesn’t understand it but he has come to adjust and let me roam while he finds comfort in the truck.

After lunch i needed to run into town as i had thawed some meat out in a bowl i had and i thought it was left over turkey. Well good thing i checked it as it wasn’t turkey .. it was Venice. Well i soak mine for days before i cook it .. so that wasn’t gonna work. I ran into and purchased some cube steak. I also decided to go by both the Dollar Stores and see what they had new in.

Wow, sure isn’t much in Christmas decorations this year or is it just the area I'm in?

I got home and decided to go check out how the project was going as i hadn’t been over there for a few days to get pictures. Looks like the roof is coming together more.

Dinner was cube steak and mixed veggies. Then it was the rest of the evening just relaxing and watch the hallmark channel.

Ruff Night

It was a ruff night for me. Yes, my back is giving me big time pain. I couldn’t get comfy and was up and down all night long.

The morning wasn’t much better so i spent most of the morning in bed.

My afternoon was better and I at least got us some dinner made. We had pork chops, mac and cheese and brussel sprouts. After dinner i spent the rest of the evening playing farmville and frontierville. Yes i know i spend way to much time playing these games but it’s a past time for me.

Weekend

Saturday it took us most of the morning to get moving. Finally around noon we were ready to head to do some shopping. We decided to go tour Hattiesburg. A bit of a drive but for Full-timers driving is no big deal.

I love going around the stores and looking at all the Christmas decorations. Yes we stopped and had lunch at the local Chinese Buffet. Wow this place had all the stuff we love and lots of selections. Of course the price was more but worth it.

I purchased a Christmas table cloth for my table, a runner for the coffee table and a new pot holder/hand towel for the kitchen. They all match. I also got one for winter .. yes it has snow men and it says Let It Snow, although i am not wishing for that here. Instead I'm praying that we have a warm winter as you all know the cold and my body doesn’t get along.

Hubby purchased himself a new toy .. oops tool. We had a great but tiring day. We got home late and so it was shower and off to bed.

Sunday we got up and got ready for church. We sure are enjoying the feeding were getting here spiritually. Afternoon was spent just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather. Of course what is a afternoon without a nap.

That night we went back to church and enjoyed another great service. Then it was back home and early to bed as we were both still exhausted from our shopping trip.

Another Day

The men sure are going to work .. look how high the roof is going to be. There is no way you’d get me up there.

Doesn’t seem to bother Randall .. or does it?

I think I'm back into the mode of just living one day at a time. I am thankful that God has blessed me by allowing me to be here. This area of people are so wonderful and they have welcomed us with open arms. They are making us feel welcome to their family.

A Life of a Dog

My dogs are enjoying it here with a nice big yard to roam in. Of course in this picture Lucy and Lexi are enjoying my chair. Daddy is next to them feeding them people food… Yumm

Dixie is enjoying the couch .. good thing i spend lots of time at my computer at the table.

Duke and Dolly are enjoying their bed on the floor. Duke is on top and that is part of Dolly’s behind you see.

We haven’t really done much the past few days to blog about.

The roof is starting

When i went to check the progress of how the construction was going.  I seen that another wall was put up and it appears that the roof is being started on.

 

 

A Window was removed as well. 

Steak Dinner

I had a really ruff night with my back and so I slept in the morning. In fact it was almost 10 am before i got out of bed. It’s still raining and looks to be a dreary day. The temps are in the 60’s. My back is still hurting.

I didn’t make it over to break at 10 am but i did get over there eventually. Lonna had made a cake from her friendship bread and it was so good. Since it’s raining outside no work could be done on the church. So the guys and gals spent the morning just having coffee and cake.

The afternoon was spent inside just relaxing and taking it easy and updating my blog from the weekend.

Tonight several of the men from the church brought T-bone steaks and cooked them on the grill for us. We had salad, baked potatoes and corn on the cob and it was so good. We also had cake for desert which was good as well.

We are being feed so good here, i don’t see me losing any weight as i had hoped, but i am trying to limit my portions.

After we ate we sat and visited and it’s always nice to visit with new friends. Then it was back home and to bed for me. The rain seems to have stopped for now. It’s foggy but the temps are not bad. I’m heading to the shower and then to bed to watch Christmas shows on hallmark.
