a good excuse?

I'm still laughing at my daughter-in-laws blog from this morning! She told her little girl Britton that as soon as her room was clean and vacuumed that they'd get some toys out of the garage.(they just moved) So she told her mom she was holding up a sign that said "vacuum now " and that she'd got it on clearance at Target! They make me laugh!
Well, I slept til 5:00 this morning, alittle better, but I'm dragging. Lia I have to admit I didn't do my salad yesterday! After going out finally yesterday(waiting to see if Jim could fix the car)I got a few blocks before the library and the car stopped on me. Since I had just plugged my cell phone in at home, I walked to the library to phone home. Of, course I couldn't help but find a few books and dvd's first, I was so excited with my finds and then my card was blocked! drat! Rachel came and rescued me, took me to get salad stuff. When I got home,Jim and I went to see if we could start the car and move it. My manly man filled it with transmission fluid and barley got it to the store. Sigh. By the time we got home I found the couch and was too tired to make a salad. My manly man made me another pork and dressing sandwich.(so hit the spot). So, is that a pretty good excuse?

    I didn't either, but your excuse is WAY better than mine!
    Honestly, I can't remember my excuse? I was...busy? That sounds resonable. Actually, it was the lack of fresh, green stuff in the frig.

    Hope your car feels better! Do you guys need to borrow Tony's truck for a little while?

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
