PHEW!!! Today at work they were stripping the gym floor.. ugggg, the stench! Sure gave me a headache and made my chest hurt... (I hope it don't get this asthma in another uproar!) Maybe the smell will be out of there tomorrow! (or at least a lot less) I mean it was in the walk in and everywhere!!! We are down to seven more working days before school... (actually it's exactly 2 weeks.. but I am off two days of that and then the weekends) So, seven more work days and I go back to work!!! LOL And thank God, I will be on full time with benefits! Wow, I am sooo thankful!!

=========================================================

We went down and picked tomatoes again today.. THANKFULLY, we picked over a five gallon bucket today. I have just finished canning 9 more pints and still have enough to can probably 15 more which will make us 36 pints (that will be nice) then IF we still have any, I would like to can him some tomato juice (he loves it) and maybe make a little salsa ??? The garden still has a lot of tomatoes.. but we will share some of course, and have all along.. Thank You God!
=========================================================
We also picked (Mom would have called it a "small mess" of beans) I would call it beans enough for supper for the two of us LOL... It may be all we get because of the groundhogs.. but then again, who knows?? Since Norman Jr and our son Norman sprinkled all those bottles of hot pepper flakes around in the garden.. the beans (two rows of them, out of the 8 or so rows we did have) are now getting leaves and blooms back! So, who knows?? LOL And there was another 4 patty pan squash..

WELL, ABIGAIL WENT HOME TODAY AFTER TALKING TO HER DADDY.. SHE IS A DADDIES GIRL TOO.. CALLS HERSELF "DADDY'S LITTLE WEASEL" .. THEN SHE WILL LAUGH AND SAY SHE'S ALSO "MOMMY'S LITTLE TURKEY" LOL... ANYWAY, I AM TUCKERED FOR TODAY.. GUESS I'M GOING TO GET A COOL BATH (and clean this stench from that odor at work) OUT OF MY HAIR ... KICK BACK A FEW MINUTES WITH MY SWEET HUSBAND, AND THEN GO TO BED (didn't sleep much the last two nights) AND TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY.. ANOTHER 1440 MINUTES (*.~) another GIFT from GOD!

THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT GOING TO BED WITH WET HAIR IS THAT IT IS "COOL"________________________________________________________
