Weekends, or at least one day on the
weekend, should be made for sleeping in.
We slept in til 9:30 this morning
when mom called. She must of
been out to yard sales because
she was telling me where some were at.
Then at 9:45AM we had the front door
cracked open and I kept seeing a head
go by the door. The neighbor kids
from across the street are over in our
yard. That's unusual. The kids are around
6,7 and 2. Why would the dad allow them
to come over here that early. Heck
we are just rolling out of bed!
Our plans for this weekend include
swimming, fishing and getting another
shifter cable on the red Trans Am.
The last one wasn't the right size
and had to return it to the store.
If this recent one doesn't fit then
we will have to go with a whole
new shifter and cable. Don't ask
the cost of that if we go that route.
Compared to just the cable it
cost 6-7 times more!
Also sometime this weekend our friend
Kendra will be over with a large
pickup to help go get our fence
panels for the yard. We're looking
at Thursday for getting the cement put in
around the posts. Then probably
next weekend to put up the panels.
Then work on digging holes, putting
in posts and panels by the drive way.
I can't wait. Meaning I've wanted this
for awhile now. We're tired of supplying
the lil hooligans with free bicycles
around here from our yard.
Plus it will be sooo nice to just let
the dog outside without putting her
on a cable and having to untangle
that sucker from around poles, cars
and whatever else is in the yard
that the dog winds around.
Let me tell ya, dogs cannot go
a straight line and come back
a straight line!
10:20AM
Well Tony and the boys went
in search of a donation drop
box to drop off some stuff out
of the basement. The boys
hauled out 4 tote fulls yesterday.
Then will load
up the truck with fishing gear
and head out. Not quite sure
where we are going but heard
Deer Creek get mentioned.
That seems a little ways out
there if you ask me. Wish
we could find something closer.
Driving too much makes me
tired. Deer Creek is South
of Mount Sterling off of 71S.

3:45PM
Just returned home. We ended up
going to Alum Creek instead.
I caught a Carp about the length
of my arm. Tony and the boys
caught Blue Gills.
Currently working on supper.
Making Sausage Biscuits & Gravy.
Fried up a pound of sausage, drained.
In a travel cup with lid I added 3
Tablespoons flour, season salt, onion
powder, pepper, chicken boullion
and 2 packets chicken gravy mix.
I then added water and closed
lid and shook really good.
Over medium heat I poured the gravy mixture
over the sausage. Stirring constantly as
the gravy thickens
Add more milk to make just the right
consistancy. I usually add in some
Velveeta cheese but that seemed to
of disappeared from the fridge.
After supper might work on getting
the yard mowed. Wearing down already.

Hey if anyone goes to any yard sales
or thrift stores.
I am looking for bean bag chairs.
Preferably the ones with the microbead
polystyrene beads in them.
Looking for
them for just the stuffing beads inside
for a project. I won't pay more
than $2.00 for a regular sized beanbag
chair.
I want to make a mattress topper out of them.
I have a couple bean bags chairs now
but the styrofoam in them look like
mini marshmallows.
Have you ever tried a feather bed? The
feathers get lumpy over time or start
poking up through the fabric poking you.
I've tried the memory foam toppers
and would like something a little softer.
I've sampled a few beds in the stores
with the memory foam mattresses and they
are too hard. I thought of this idea
a long time ago and never have been
able to make it.
Would like to do a baffled box microbead
topper. Would look something like this
below but filled with styrofoam beads instead
of fluff or feathers.
I figure I could take a bunch of pillowcases,
sew a line in the middle of them.
Cut open the other end. Sew them all in
5x2 strips, keeping ends open.
Then start filling with beads
and sew the edges shut. Will attach
two of the 5x2 strips together if I
have to sew by hand.

Still have not accomplished anything
other than supper since we've returned
home.
Been watching Parent Trap and
Princess Diaries on TV.
Mean Girls is on next (abc family).
Was having a sweet tooth.
Discovered that left over biscuits
with Nutella on the top was soo
yummy!
