I know I haven't been posting much. It's been busy. We have the contractor here every Saturday doing stuff on the house, and every other free moment we have together is consumed getting the wood all done for the winter.

I go to Dallas next weekend for a girls retreat!! I'm so excited to be hanging out with 25 of the greatest women ever.

At the end of August I'm having surgery and I will be down for the count for 8 weeks. That's why we're trying to get all the wood done now, so Kas won't have to do it alone.

The garden is out of control!! All that rain encouraged the weeds. Busy busy busy!!

Tornado? Microburst?

We had some kinda storm come through here late yesterday afternoon. We stood outside and watched the front push through. Then, it got bad. I have never seen winds that strong. I had a panic attack. A tree fell on our power lines and ripped them off the house. We called the power company and they said they'd get to us when they could. Of course, being at the end of a dead end road isn't a plus in these kinds of situations.
The power did return later on last night, but the lines are still down, not a very safe situation.

Etsy is really growing. If you haven't checked it out, you really should. There are so many talented people selling their handmade items. I think it's nicer to give something handmade. You can even search for items by location too, if you want to buy things locally.
Check it out, and consider etsy when you need to buy a gift for someone special!!!

My sister came to visit a couple times last month...it was fun to hang out with her.

I have corrupted her though....I taught her to Wii. :)

She's watching my Mom's house for a couple weeks and I'm going there to visit. My mother is offended that I'm going there when she's not there. But Mom, I always like to go swimming in July, when it's close to my birthday....it's not MY fault you're running the roads. :D
