Broken Finger

I know it's been a while since my last post but this time I have a good reason.  I took a tumble down the steps at my son's house one rainy day and apparently broke my finger.  It has been over a week and I have been trying to keep my finger in a splint which eases my pain.  I have done exercises with it and I am still having quite a bit of pain if I don't wear my splint.  So here is to a speedy recovery and hoping that my finger will heal quickly and all the swelling will go down so I can get on with my life.  Keep me in your prayers!

It has been two years ago yesterday that I lost my sister to the battle with cancer.  Seems like the days just go by so fast.  I don't know how it could have been two years already.  She believed in Jesus so I know she has nothing to worry about now and I am so glad none of us has to see her suffer anymore.  She was a great sister that I will never forget.  I love and miss you Angie!

Ben has been taking Violin lessons and is learning how to play twinkle twinkle little star for his first song.  He has done a great job so far and Harrison continues to play the Guitar while Addie is thinking about playing the piano.  They grow up so fast.

It is storming here tonight and we are finally getting that much needed rain we needed all summer.  It has been getting cold enough to fire up the wood stoves at night already.  Looks like we are in for a cold winter. Our wood supply is ready though so bring on the snow :)

When are they gona lift the burn ban

It seems like a long summer since they have enforced the no burn ban in our county.  You hear call after call of people reporting other people because they are trying to burn some trash and our county has been under this burn ban way too long.  It is raining tonight so be some chance they could lift it soon.  It really makes it bad on people who are used to burning their own trash.  This whole neighborhood just seems like it is going crazy.  People threatening people yelling and screaming and I thought I was pretty much in the country but just not country enough for me.  I want some peace and quiet and I am done with all the crazy people that want to cause trouble.  What can I say but I really just don't like this little town.  I couldn't imagine living in a big city.

Indiana Floods 2011

Rain and thunderstorms continue to hit the southern Indiana region this week. School is on a 2 hour delay today due to flooding and road closures. I have not seen this many roads closed in southern Indiana ever. More storms are on the way so we have not even seen the worst of it yet. Guess it's not so bad if you were a duck!

Sunshine

A little sunshine peeping through the clouds today. It's been very windy with lots of rain. I wanted to get back out and go mushroom hunting but the wind is going to have to die down alittle before I take the kids out in the woods today.

Rainy day

I get to go to work today. It was my day off but I need the hours bad. So I am working for someone else today. It's cold and rainy out there today.

Rain Rain and then More Rain with my House party Green Works

We have had a fair share of rain and it just keeps coming. I am wondering if maybe we should invest in a boat! I was doing dishes earlier today when my 15 year old says "mom, come here" I said what? He said is this your stuff out here, I looked out the door and walked around the front of the house to see my house party kit had been delivered by UPS but they didn't bother to hand it to me instead they just sit it on the porch, and did I mention that we have had lots and lots of rain. The package was ripped apart and soaking wet. The UPS guy apparently left the package sitting and the dog found it. I was fit to be tied. My son and I went through the broken box pieces that were scattered and tried to salvage all we could of the package contents. This was going to be my big house party. Well I was able to save most of it, lost some of the coupons and the dog chewed a few items too. I still plan to go green with what I have left.
