Lazy Saturday

I spent the day being somewhat lazy. I did get dress and go over and visit with some of the ladies this morning. Then i came home and threw a potpie in the micro for hubby for lunch. My kind of cooking.

After lunch i finished up my dishes from several days of build up .. then i decided to put up the fall decorations and get out the few Christmas ones i could get too. I purchased a new table cloth, dish towel and table runner, the rest of the things are in the outside compartment.

Later in the afternoon the sun came out and it was nice for sitting outside. The temps were in the low 60’s but with the sun shining it was warm. As soon as the sun left though it was cool and time to retrieve inside to my nice and warm comfy home.

Our evening was spent curled up inside our nice warm and comfy home watching satellite tv. Dinner consisted of a Digiorno pizza.

Chilly & Dreary

I got up late today as it’s a chilly and rainy outside. It rained most of the day and just kept getting colder as the day went on. I even had to bring my plants inside so they wouldn’t freeze. Their predicting a low of 32 tonight. brrrrr

Yes, the weather is bothering my back so no shopping, no nothing for me today. Today was spent curled up on the couch, playing online and enjoying satellite TV.

Happy Thanksgiving

Leakesville, MS


I got up and got my cooking going. We are going to new friends Sonny and Sylvia home in Alabama for the holiday. I’m bringing the noodles, rolls and sweet potatoes.
I also had some Amish starter that given to me that needed to be used as my time was up for it.

We arrived and 4 other couples from church was there. Russell, Connie, Jim, Lonna, Dale & Evie. We had a great time and a wonderful meal. There was so much food. We even had a clown amongst us .. LOL

We got home around 7 pm and it was early to bed for me as i was tired.
We hope your day was a great one and we are thankful for our many blessings.

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.
