Storms comin' in!


That was the sunset last night:O) I'm not sure it could have been any more beautiful!

We have some major storms comin' through all weekend long, with the worst bein' Saturday night into Sunday. I don't like tornado season. And I've talked to Big Daddy about gettin' a storm shelter put in out here. We don't have payments on anything and I think that would be a good reason to extend some credit and have a monthly payment. We'll see. I do know the tornado's last year really hit close to home and the small towns are still recovin' and just to see the trees mangled still like they are is just a sad reminder. I don't like it.

We still don't have any chicks on day 22 but I think we are hearin' peckin' in there but really, who knows:O) I really hope these chicks hatch, along with the next batch.

I need to go. Have a great day and weekend in case I don't get back on. I have a lot to do, as usual:O)

Feed It Forward


What a great program this time of year. If you go to Feed It Forward you can give up to 40-$10 gift cards to various restaurants. I gave a few to my contacts and gave the rest of mine to the RAOK (random acts of kindness). And you can do it every day!!!

Just somethin' fun to do this season:O) I hope ya'll are ready for Thankgiving tomorrow. I will be...I quit my job today. It was too much stress for too little money. I have never in my life been treated like I was treated by the owners/bosses. I was a great server that never had any problems and I actually had a customer send money for a tip. He and his wife had come in after a ride up from Texas and forgot to tip me. He was so upset he forgot that his wife called for my name and they sent me a tip a few days later. I took good care in pleasing my customers and making them happy, while the owners only cared of makin' a buck, not carin' if the customers were happy (they wouldn't even buy sugar free syrup as I was told *we don't do that*...what???). Small town minds make for some assholes who don't care about other people...just how much further ahead they can get.

So today we get to do the food shoppin' for tomorrow and also see if we can find  wii for the kids for Christmas. Brandon got his bonus and our wii has been broke. Since the kids totally dig mario...a wii it is:O) Let's hope we can find one in poe-dunk.

Have a great day and a very happy Thanksgiving if I don't get back on here. Be thankful for the food, family and memories...a lot of others have less.

P.S. The pic is of what happened to our frickin' $400 trampoline when we had some straightline winds about a month ago. Didn't get much rain from the storm, just wind. And I'll tell ya, I heard the wind blow then outta nowhere, it sounded as if a small train was comin' though...scary!! O-and we did get about 7 inches of rain the last few days...a real toad strangler!!!
