Happy Birthday My Love!

Well Saturday was Rich's birthday. What did we do?? Have a yard sale. We made a whopping 87.00. What a flop! Anyway....Rich did not want to do anything. He did not want to do anything....at all. So we did not do anything.....at all. After we picked up the yard sale came in and took a shower and watched movies. He may not have wanted to do anything on his birthday this weekend, but next weekend we are going to go to dinner and maybe the fair....we are going to do something....but he got his wish, we did nothing on his birthDAY. Thank you Ricky for being such a good husband father and friend. Looking back on our wedding pictures last night, I married my best friend. I love you for all the blessings you and I share. From patch of heaven to both of our boys.....even Karley. You are always my knight in shining armor. I love you and hope you had a wonderful birthday!

First day of school....

Well first day of school is over. Trenton had a good day in Mrs. Henderson's class and Tucker had a great day in Mrs. Mote's day. We have orientation tonight with MRs. Mote. I hope this year goes well....fingers and toes crossed!

New and improved kitchen!

If you stand around long enough around patch of heaven, you WILL get painted. We are losing square footage in our house, we paint so much. We painted the kitchen this weekend. We did this cool thing around the trim board. We taped a strip and made a white stripe around the floor and door trim. It looks really good. I made new curtains....out of a 3.00 sheet. We are So cheap. The whole project costs about 20.00. What a difference it made! I love it. We love the red and white. It will look awesome at Christmas! :)

Aloha Summer Aloha School..

Well....summer has come to an end. We had the whole gang over on Friday night for Aloha Summer Aloha School....for those that do not speak Hawaiian, Aloha means hello AND goodbye. They had a great time. We made pizza and a tent in the bedroom. They swam all day on Saturday and slept all night Sunday. Everyone had a good time....at least I think.

Peach Jelly...

Well....I got up this morning and played farmer's wife. I boiled, peeled and cut all of our peaches. I made 2 quarts of peach jelly, a first for me. I also froze 3 bags of peaches for pie. I finally used my canning pan that my mother in law gave me. It was not just a decoration. Other than the peach mush boiling and popping in my eye, I did not burn myself once. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. Usually if you burn, cut or end up bleeding it does not work. I am not sure if my jars sealed or not....I guess I will find out. First time was a learning process. I need to do my jars first....I think I rushed things a bit, but what else is new. I do not think that this is going to sit on the shelf for very long. Tucker wants it on his biscuits this morning. :)
