Call Me Crazy!!!

Wow! Only five more days until Adam is home. You would think I'd have my Christmas shopping all done and the house cleaned just waiting for him. Think again. That's not how I roll. We decided the downstairs family room needed new carpet and paint. Of course I had to wait until the farming was done and the cattle were all situated before Roger could help me. Which was only recently. So last week we started painting. It took painting the room four times and a near meltdown (me) before I found the right color. Have I ever told you how sweet and patient my husband is? We still have some trim to replace. The carpet layer comes tomorrow and we need to pack out all the furniture and rip up the old carpet. This is how it looks now.

As for Adam's bedroom, I have been using it for my sewing/DI room and for things I don't know what to do with. This is what it looked like yesterday morning. Notice his bed is propped up against the wall and we gave Alan the dresser that went in that room.

We did clean his room out last night so the carpet cleaner could clean the carpet, but we put everything in Laura's room. Well, about seven o'clock last night Laura called to say that she was headed home from college a day early because of a big storm headed for Moscow. She and some friends drove all night and she arrived home at seven this morning. It's a good thing Rachel was up getting ready for school so Laura could use her bed since there is no way Laura could even get to hers. So as for now we are in chaos. Wish me luck in pulling it all together. If I don't get it all together. It really doesn't matter because Adam will be home. Yay!!

Guess What Rachel Did On Saturday?

Free Kittens!

Okay, the time has come. I've got a box full of
kitties to give away. We have had fun watching these little sweeties grow. In April I wrote Adam, who is still on his mission, that our cat had five kittens. He said he didn't even know we had a cat and wanted to know how Dad felt about it. As any Clark knows, Roger is not a fan of pets. After being married to me for 28 years he has learned to tolerate them. I am not a crazy animal lover but animals have always been a part of my life. I think that everyone should have some sort of pet while growing up. They are part of the joy of childhood to me. I find them amusing to watch and have smiled many a time watching these kittens play and sleep on my back deck. But they are now eight weeks old and need to find their own homes. If you would like one let me know. I think Jayden and Hallie are still working on their parents for one or two. Awwww don't they look cute holding them. If I can't give them away to friends or family, Rachel will be at a local Walmart trying to give them away. She really doesn't want to do that. Too embarrassing! She says she "knows" people. they might recognize her. Save Rachel the embarrassment and call now to reserve your kitty.

Obsessed Or Highly Interested?

For Christmas my sister, Cheryl, gave me the "Twilight" book series by Stephanie Myers. I know several others of you have also read the books. I didn't read them until February, but they sure made that dreary month a lot more enjoyable for me. Right now they are filming the first book "Twilight" in Oregon. I have been following it on the internet. Laura and Rachel say I'm obsessed. I like to say I'm highly interested. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series "Breaking Dawn" coming out in August and I can't wait to see the movie that comes out December 12th!
