Fall

I know it's fall. . . because I'm ready to paint the inside of my house. Every room. But Bayer doesn't make that much pain reliever so I am going to have to get some help from somewhere. . . any volunteers?

And the garden is all gone; well, except for some tomatoes which I need to use to make my grandmother's ripe tomato ketchup (relish) recipe for Daniel. I canned 9 quarts of juice yesterday and worked up 5 quarts of apples. I need to get some more apples for sauce. . . and Dawnee's apple butter.

Doug and Michelle's lifeline -- uh, waterline -- is almost complete. A crew set the meter today. We should be online by the end of the month.

Levi and Carlos got new twin beds today. They were really excited. Now they are going to decide what kind of bedding they want, and I've been told I have to buy it! Works for me!

They did really good in school today. Maybe not making strides, but small steps in getting de-programed. Levi is into "rocks" again. And they still love their tire swings.

I've been looking at Dawnee's and Jifner's web sites where they make cards. Those girls are really talented! Got it from me. . . what? there's a question about that? At least they're not "advertising"! (inside joke!) And the "A" word. . . another inside joke. Poor Merlene!

Guess that's all. Spouse is watching TV thru his eyelids now, so I can go change the channel and watch something interesting. . . luv, mom/mrt
