BLAH-GING

Blogging without pictures is BLAH-GING in my opinion. I really do not know when they will fix the problem so bear with my plain old rambles.

This week was tough. We spoke with John's Mom over the phone, but she is very, very weak and can only speak a few words. We are thankful when she told us that she has not had pain and is comfortable as can be at this time.

Whitley was a pill again this week and might soon be learning that her folks mean business. We sold her Guitar Hero on Craiglist because she lost a $25 school planner and a $15 thermos. Thankfully, it sold for $50 to cover the losses.

John had a big project at work this week that is labor intensive. While he was gone, some guys broke a machine that he had designed to pull off conveyor belts that are 6 ft. wide and as long as a football field; you can imagine how heavy those belts are. Since repair parts could not be brought in expeditiously, they are back to the old way, cuting the belt in 6 ft. sections for removal.

I had two tests this week and another coming up this Friday. Midterms are the following week. Come on Christmas; I am ready for this semester to be over with! Bear with me this semester as my blogging will continue to be minimal...especially since there are no pictures.

It has been a cold, foggy weekend and the snow just started to fall here at the house about an hour ago (8:30 pm), so October 12th makes our first official snowfall! I enjoy the change of seasons and the thing I appreciate about winter is that it makes us slow down a bit and spend time inside with our family.

Before you know, little kids will be knocking on your door for treats and Thanksgiving is coming just after that. May the season be safe and enjoyble!
