I'm back!

I'm sorry I have been gone so long. I deleted FaceBook and I do not intend to ever go back. There was just too much information about too many people that I really do not care to know their every detail of their day. Watch back in a few days.

All in a days Work

Sunday Indulgence

For most people, Friday is the Weekday favorite; for me, it is hands done, Sunday Morning!
Jennifer does not understand. But I love to sit in my basement, turn on the TV and watch CBS News Sunday Morning with a nice hot cup of coffee. Ahhhh. Bliss.
I love the variety of tidbits, sort of like a broadcast version of the Sunday paper. It starts with a run down of what's to come on the show for the morning. It covers the headlines, the fine and performing arts, interviews, as well as more in-depth stories from headlines. These stories do not focus on the already known stuff. They go deeper and broader and are just so much more relaxed than the hard-nosed interviews of the typical newscast. They focus on the little known interests of the interviewee. And opinions! Commentators Ben Stein and Nancy Giles deliver their opinions with wit and humor that keeps me begging for more! And I can't leave out Bill Geist doing his human interest stories and Mo Rocca! The whole show just makes me see the world in a much more colorful way. Kind of like looking at the world through a Kaleidoscope. I can see all the different angles of a story or a person or a subject. And it always ends with a nice 60 second clip of a tranquil scene from nature. Ahhh. Nice. My Sunday Morning is just not the same with out CBS Sunday Morning Show!

New Camera

Here are some pics from the new Nikon D60

Alone with Granny?

Jennifer decided to take a road trip this weekend and asked if I would take care of Jorden. Finally!! I thought, I get Jorden all to myself! What to do first?! Of course I said yes! I was talking to my very good friend Angie and as it so happened, Friday was beautiful, and Monsters VS Aliens was showing at the Calvert City Drive-In. Although Jennifer said Jorden had already seen this movie, she said it would be fine because he LOVED it. Pay Dirt!! We made plans and at 6:00, Angie and her family picked us up. We stopped or rather drove through at McDonald's because although they are famous, I can not stand the hamburgers at the drive in. We got our food and headed to the drive in. Even though the movie did not start until 8:00, it was getting full already! We parked and got unpacked. The kids, all 5 of them headed out to right underneath the movie screen to play. Kids were everywhere. Ahhhh. Nice! Angie and I talked and ate. Kids played, played, played. Ahh, nice. Then the big spot light came on to let us know that the movie would be starting soon. We gathered the kids and as the screen lit up, Jorden froze, stared, then screamed in terror! I scared Granny!! Keys home. Drive! Drive! I took him to the bathroom and talked and calmed him down. We went back outside and it started all over again. I called Gramps to come get us. I told Angie I was headed home and not to worry. I was going to wait by the ticket gate. So we walked. We told the little guy and gal that Gramps was coming to get us because he was scared and they offered us a rain check. I said no, that we got our $5.00 worth from 6-8. I sat down with Jorden and we were watching a June Bug. A bug flew at my face and I swatted. Yea, mistake! I felt a sting right next to my upper cheek. Wonderful. I got stung by a wasp. David, you remember my hand last summer, don't you? At least it was me, and not Jorden. Gramps gets there a few minutes later and Jorden practically flew out of my arms through the window. "Monsters! I scared Gramps!" We got home, I put a tea bag on my face and we all went to bed! What a Night!

Getting Closer

Our basement is getting closer and closer to finished. Eddie came over this weekend and completed the fireplace and it looks awesome. Next will be the floor, then the suspended ceiling.

Finally

I couple of years ago, I went to the dentist with a tooth ache and was informed I needed a root canal. Fine. I got the root canal and a few months later had to go back. The tooth was dead and needed to be pulled. My worst fear had come true! I have dreams of losing all my teeth! I have a friend named Dr. William Cusack. He specializes in tooth implants. He made me an appointment and I headed to Peoria, IL. In October, I had the implant "root" placed. I received a call from my dentist, Dr. Nick Cocke. The rest of my tooth was in and ready to be placed!! Yay! So Wednesday, I left school a little early and I now, once again, have a full set of Pearly Whites! And the worst part of the entire process?? Getting that tooth pulled! It was horrible!
