Wednesday... cleaning day!

Does this look like an angel kitty to you? Just looking out the patio door? Well, he is not. Mr. Morrison is no gentleman. He's a scoundrel! Yesterday he went out the back. I went after him. Wrong. Don't ever chase a cat. It doesn't work. I was in my nighty. I stepped in dog poop. I got scratched up. Got ahold of his leg and he hissed. Then he really wouldn't come to me. Plus I have Punkin chasing him and leading him away!!!! So I go get dressed and I'm taking food over to the neighbors trying to coax him out from under her porch. Finally my back is killing me so I come in the house to take a break. When I go out he is under papa's truck. Wouldn't come no matter what food I had. Finally Punkin lures him on the porch only to chase him next door again!!!! I gave up. Left both doors open and after two hours he came in. The doors stayed shut the rest of the day. No gentleman... I tell ya!

Libby called yesterday. My cousin's husband, Curt Carlson, had a stroke while they were leaving their home Sunday. There was lots of people there. Doug went up there from the car and they called the ambulance. He was taken to the local hospital and then transported to Watertown (50 miles away). Doug left to go home yesterday and stopped to see him.... Curt had another stroke in the hospital. Not sure how he is doing at this point. Keep him in your prayers please.

Lauren made me a book this past weekend. I will always keep it. She wrote a story and drew pictures. It is titled:

"The kid's sleepover at Mam's houes". (I am writing it just how she wrote it... too cute) "every time we come to mam's houes she is ecsided. She is happy. She was vary ecsided she bloow her pan'st off. (Caption of Mam saying 'I cant bleve your here!') She was vary happy. But it was dinner time. so we ate dinner. Then we had dusert. We had ice crem-cookeis. Then we went to bed. But then me, mam, and Maddie went outside in the dark. We toold story's. The End"

I loved it. She did awesome spelling for a kindergartner!!! These kids amaze me these days. Karla said Maddie wrote her a note on Wednesday that said she couldn't wait until "tomorrow".... and even spelled it right. (She was writing about coming over). Do you know how that makes me feel... that our grandkids love coming over to our home? So blessed and happy! I'm doing something right, I guess.

Yesterday I decided to switch my services in an effort to save money. I got ahold of Broadstripe who does my internet. I can get phone and cable through them too in a package that will save us about $30-40 a month. And we'll get long-distance back, won't have to change our number again, will have over 80 channels, papa can watch the mariners, and I can see channel 4! I have to pay a little to get out of dish but it will be worth it. I'm excited. It is happening on the 10th of June. The kids will be sad because the shows they have recorded here will be gone. Oh well. Papa and I have to scramble to catch up on our viewing now. lol!

I'm starting to plan a potluck for Saturday, June 20th when my Aunt Lorraine is here. It's a "Father's Day" potluck too. Let me know if you can make it! I'll be getting into the details more later.

Yesterday was a weird weather day... sun, rain, muggy overcast.... but no snow so thank you Lord! lol! Enjoy your day! Pray for Maddie and her sore throat, cousin Curt, sis Rita, and Doug traveling home. Also pray for Mike Tyson and his family. His 4 year old daughter, Exodus Tyson, was strangled on a treadmill and died. Very tragic. Thanks for praying. He hears.

Weather To Expect:
A warm and dry weather pattern is setting up through the rest of the week. Some clouds are out this morning with more sun coming out this afternoon. High temperatures are running in the upper 60s with some spots around the south sound hitting the 70 degree mark. An area of high pressure is building in, keeping the sun out and cranking the heat back up. Temperatures will be running in the mid to upper 70s both Thursday and Friday. The weekend will stay on the warm side with highs in the low 70s. Look out for some patchy morning clouds this weekend with mostly sunny skies by the afternoon.
