Fall Odds and Ends

We only had one out standing bill which was to the One spirit book club. Yesterday I receive my last book which was writing spirit by Lynn Andrews.
Not sure when I’ll get a chance to read it.

Now I feel more comfortable on purchasing a camera

My client Callie and her daughter Patty is gong over to Washington to visit Nanna (Patty Grandma) Nanna went over to stay with some friends. Our local school is having a few days off starting Thursday so Callie and Patty are planing to go over.

I had this crazy ideal to paint my kitchen cabinets. Since I’ll go back to work next Monday. Their other things needs to be taken care of around here.

The other day we were up visiting our friends Earl and Quenelle. She gave me two Chinese Lanterns that I planted out in my hodge podge flower bed.
She also gave me some lavender Poppy seeds I sprinkled them on my hodge podge bed and my purple and yellow flower bed.
I got quite a few poppy seeds left over and plan to share the abundants of.
I clean out part of my flower bed by the barn/shed I was going pull up my trills which my sweet peas are growing on and I couldn’t get it up by my self.
The only thing is in full bloom out there is white mums. I thought this was a cool site about plant magic

I’m thinking of not doing my other blogg keeping it going I’m thinking of adding anther category to my main blogg. Haven’t yet decided what to called it.

I was blogg hoping and went over and visited Peas Corner> Peas Corner which I’ll add later to my sidebar.
Threw her I found this neat little thing that over whelm with joy is hosting a holiday cooking blogger style.

Flying Out of the Nest

Saturday evening our local high school had their home coming dance and both of our boys looked handsome.
I feel Murphy and I did a good job of raising them Confession time...although we are far from being perfect

Knowing that we did a good job with our boys. We taught them good value, be honest, be respectful. Be tolerant, and stand up for what you believe in.

As the boys got older and showed they were responsible for the freedom we gave them we gave them more freedom.
Sawyer is 18 and we never had any major problems with him. Sure we had a few minor incidents honest time...Actual they were somewhat funny and I’ll blogg about them some other time.
Bart who is 15 needs to be in by 10. Less they are special reason such as a group activity.
Then if Bart does good on that we will increase his curfew.

When both boys are gone I feel sad and lonely Confession time...I thinking I’m starting to go threw empty nest. syndrome.
I knew the boys would leave home and start a life of their own.
Honest time....At one time I want 8 children and I couldn’t get Murphy to go along with that ideal. But in todays world and society it isn’t possible

September Weather

The warmest day in September was on the 8th, 86.4 fernhiet
The coldest day in September was on the 23rd, 23.8 fernheit
The aveage high for the month of September was 74.5 and lowest average is 49.9 fernheight

Love in the Mist

I’ve done a little bit of work in the flower beds. I pulled up all the dead zinnia and put in some deep dark purple tulips. After more of my zinnia die off I’ll put more tulips in their space.
My friend Quenella gave me some Love in the mist . I’m thinking they a light blue in color so they went in my hodge podge flower bed. But I need to ask her what color they are and if they are purple I’ll plant some in my purple and yellow flower bed.
My dahlia real didn’t do two hoots worth and my gladiolus did less then middle of the road. When it got so hot in July I didn’t get enough water on the flowers beds.
Now I’m waiting for a good heavy frost so I can dig up my summer bulbs

At the end of the month I gather up all of the socks. Whites and colors and wash them in real hot water and then I get out box of what become mismatched socks and out of the blue their a population explosion of socks

Murphy thought it would be a great ideal to take all the blankets we had in storage and on bed and wash them all up in one shot.
He taking them in to the laundry mat. I know he going to ask me to come along. Murphy now just ask me if I want to go along and I ask him why he says their hard to fold by your self. Oh I bet if it was the other way around it would be a whole different story.
Oh well I guess when their washing I can read my book. Journey by James A Michener.

Well Sawyer and Bart got the plywood from the basement hauled out to the barn/shed. Murphy and I’ll do the frames and 2 by 4. Then we can built shelves for the rest of my ceramic molds

My Shrink...Dr. Blogger

My life is far from anything that is news worthy. Honest time..majority of the time it right down boring I’ve always said my life is uneventful.
But confession time...I’m surprised that I actual have things to write about I know I’m not going to change the world in great way

I went and did search on google for “Why do people have bloggs” At this time I couldn’t find my whys to my question

I guess the Mormon which my client Callie is a jack one are strongly compel to keep a journal so future generation can see or read about their pass.
But also they kept a journal or dairy for therapy.

I never been one to keep a journal of any type shape or form. Confession time...I don’t like asking or expressing to others.
I don’t want to come across as a gripper. My dad complain about almost everything or he would be little me. Let me tell you if we got nickle for every time my dad bitched about something we would be rich beyond rich.
I have no desire to have any of those two traits. I rather keep my mouth shut and not be known as a bitchier or one who put other people down.
But I know I’ve griped in my blogg

Confession time...I feel after I write in my blogg it kind of therapyptic and it gives me a different look on life through others eyes.
Some time I have regret sending my brother in law my url to my blogg. Then they’re times I’m glad that I gave them my url . I never said anything un true about anything or anyone.
Confession time...The reasons I gave Earl and Tadita my blog url is to let them read the truth what was going on. One side of the coin I thought it would mend some of the fence and on the other side of the coin the truth hurts and I know they wouldn’t want their dirty little secrets out of the closetBut it ok for them to drag out other people dirty little skeletons. I was wrong about mending the fence. If Murphy gives back the tape (they won’t give back any tapes of us) crawl on our knees and let them spit in our eye and call us a worm. Honest time...It not happening because I know and they know what they did to us.
I find bloggers friend are easier to share my thoughts and every feeling that I may have.

Bumps in the Way of Life

I thought I had it all plan out on getting anther digital camera.

I only got one small back bill to pay which is my spirit book club. I’m going to pay them off around 1st part of October and order a digital camera around the middle of October

Money is always fairly tight around here. Both of boys is going to our local home coming dance and they had nothing appro rated to wear. Most of the time they wear blue jeans, t-shirt or a sweat shirt.
So I gave them each $40 bucks so they went into wal-mart in Sandpoint to pick up some slacks and dressier shirt to go to the home coming dance.

To a lot of people $80 unexpected is nothing but if some major problem comes along for our family being $80 short can make a differences to us

Well they brought back $17 and some odds change.
I figure your only a teenager once Confession time...Most of the time I real don’t have any desire to live my teen years again
We haven’t had any real problems with our boys

I was playing on google and put in a search for “meme” and found this site called The Daily Meme
It look like some of these meme I might add to my blogg when I feel like it

Non Whites Bigots

The place my husband works at has this one bigot

.

Edan is a Mexican who insults white people calls them dumb whites, lazy whites, stupid whites, and thinks he doesn’t need to use common manners with any white people.
He thinks it perfect ok to call white people names

Tony who runs the digger during the spring dig and told Edan that he was going to run the spring dig crew. Edan turn around and told Murphy that he was going to fire him.
Edan don’t have a drivers lission because he got in some wreak as he was drinking and needs to pay over $20,000 in fines and damages.
Edan thinks that murphy will give him a ride to work.
During Last spring dig Murphy picked up Edan. In morning and the two was to make up baskets. Well Edan went to his special outhouse to take a dumb. He won’t set on a toilet set that been used by white people, it he does he will stand up on toilet set.

Edan don’t just insult my husband he shows bigotry toward all races except his own. Actual whites are little better or smarter then other races except they aren’t as bright as Mexicans. Confession time...In my personal experience I notice their more prejudice in non white people then white people.

Convert Me into Something I'm Not

Right before I went to bed last night I started to have panic attacks. My son Sawyer who turn 18 yesterday who we never had any real major incidents with him.
He went car camping and threw my mind I kept thing that he may sleep with the car engine running and get carbon dioxide poisoning and wouldn't wake up.
So this morning Murphy and I went to the Sunday service at the gardenia center in Sandpoint and when we got home Sawyer was a sleep in his bed.
Oh it was a relief to see my son asleep. I don’t want to be a hovering parent over my boys life. I want them to be their own person.

Today at the gardenia center Sunday service. It was in honor of fall and examen our being in the spiritual since.
I personal feel at easy with earth base worship. Statement time...It irrate me when the Jehovah Witnesses come banging on the door preaching their words
I sometime feel like a lost soul because I try to treat people like I want to be treated and I don’t like people trying to convert me into “something” and I have no desire to convert others into something.
I like to be more involved in the gardenia center but I have trouble articulating my thought and majority of the time I afraid that I couldn’t present my thought over and make a complete fool of my self.
Honest time...I’m not sure where, when or what I’m at in spiritual since. The only thing I don't feel at easy with a heavy dose of fire and brime stone and preaching sin and fear.

Their this gentlemen their who does the coffee usual he makes organic coffee with touch of vanilla in it. Well for the celebration of fall he add touch of pumpkin seeds and I brought pumpkin bread for coffee hour

At the gardenia center they have a little book store in the basement and I bought some incense called Parvati which is sandal, cinnamon and patchouli blend to honor the goddess parvatti, female power of creation and wife of shiva. Fresh, joyous, uplifting.
