Hi Everyone!

[gja1000]

We got peaches at the farmers market yesterday. I made a big peach cobbler (with splenda) and today we are making homemade peach ice cream (with sugar). It's 99 degrees, don't you think that calls for homemade ice cream!

[Janet]

Yes it does! We need to get our ice cream maker out and put it to work..lol. Not much really going on here to even write about. Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I've decided not to breed anymore. Husband wanted to know what we were going to do with the dogs.....what the heck does he think we'll do with them??? He said it's too many for pets...so I told him if he left, he wouldn't have to worry about it. So far....he's still here. CRAP!!

My job hunting has not been going well at all. The job market isn't good, but being 55 that doesn't help. Would like to have part-time to suppliment the bus driving. I need out, but can't without money...lol. Funny how that works isn't it?

Ricky graduates this month from Lincoln College of Technology. His last day is the 20th. He's still working at the auto parts store and loves his job. I told him on his days off, he needs to find something in his field of study. He wants to, but also loves where he is at. We'll see.

Still have one puppy left to sell. Have to use some of the puppy money to pay off my credit card. Put all the expenses on this litter on charge. Then need to use some for spaying two females and neutering 2 males. Hopefully I'll have some left over.

I'm sorry the job hunting is not going well, it is a tough time to be looking right now. My sister-in-law is 62 and looking for a part time job. She's been looking several months, not too hard, but looking (in Kansas City). She hasn't found anything either so she's going to help her nephew in the office at his bar/restaurant. Hopefully, it will turn into a part time job for her because the job market is just not very good right now.

Yes, he definitely needs to try to find a job that utilizes his training. I was wondering where he was working, I knew he'd found a job, but did'nt know what he was doing. It's good that he enjoys the auto parts store - that is "sorta" in his field.

You know, we don't even need any other threads...we all seem to come back to this one, lol!!
I'm still in Seattle, but I leave tomorrow Dustin and Joy wish I would just move in with them, lol! But Mike is a little lonesome, so I better go home It's nice to be wanted
Sounds like everybody is having a good summer. I have some pics on facebook if anybody is bored
It's so cool here! I'm going to DIE when I get home It was 103 in the big city of Carthage today, with a heat index of 115. I'm sure the humidity is horrible!
Joy had to go to work tonight. Dustin is out on the streets with his homeless friends, but when he's done there he's taking me out with some of his co-workers to a pub. I'll let you know how that goes, lol!!

I just had a really busy August long weekend! Scott's birthday was on Wednesday and we kind of celebrated all week and topped it off by going to the drive-in for a double feature movie night on Friday We took Layla too! We watched Dinner for Schmucks and the newest Shrek movie.

On Saturday, we went to Scott's friends' wedding. It was at this little vacation ranch east of the city that I didn't even know existed! The grounds were just beautiful and the weather was HOT and sunny. When we first got there I said that's where I want to get married. It was a simple outdoor wedding and there were even GOATS wandering around!!! The inside areas for the dinner and dance were a little too western for me though, with antlers and wagon wheels and even a buffalo head! So we've nixed that for a venue for ourselves now, but outside sure was gorgeous. This is the place: http://www.champetrecounty.com/frames/Frameset.html

Saturday night we stayed at my grandma's house in the city because it would have been twice the distance to go home. She was visiting my parents for the weekend so we were there alone! I'm so glad she let us stay there though, it was so much more convenient! We also kept Layla there for the day and drove back in between the ceremony and reception so we could express her (and we all had a nap )

On Sunday morning we got up early and went out for breakfast with my cousin, her boyfriend, and her three kids. She was in town for the weekend visiting HIS family, and will be back again in 2 weeks to visit me and my grandma and take her kids to the fair. It's a big deal for them to come because it's about a 5 hour drive with 3 kids under 7 They are not the best behaved kids either, but they were a bit better at this meal than the others we've had! The oldest girl has a big diva attitude and is getting her mom's hypochondriac tendencies too. My cousin is already taking her to therapists for anxiety, when I feel it's probably just a way for her kid to get attention But I smile and nod because it's not MY child!

After breakfast, we headed down to Regina for Scott's nephew's first birthday! We got home late last night and didn't even have time to unpack our bags before bed.

I can't believe that a year ago on Sunday, I moved into my condo It feels like so much longer! I moved into that condo thinking I'd probably stay there for the next 3-5 years before buying a house. Was I ever wrong! I still miss it sometimes though. I love my house, but that condo was MINE, and when we were done with it, it was beautiful and I knew I designed it all. It was sad to let it go so soon but we just couldn't pass up the house!
