Simply Saturday

Today is a day with only one thing planned - the yearly flu shot. Got up early and got that first thing. But even before we left, I made a batch of vegetable beef soup and put it in the crockpot for safekeeping. I have to admit my house smells so good at the moment. There are a lot of sporting events to watch today. . .everything from football to baseball to NASCAR. With soup in the crockpot I can just sit back and relax!!! We can help ourselves to a bowl of soup and a grilled cheese whenever we want. . .YUM!!! BUT, before the sports get started, I have a few layouts to share with you so here goes. . .

Wednesday Wonderlust

I have a busy day planned today. . .going to go to the area outlet mall. It is about 45 minutes away, but it is all country driving. This time of year that means farm equipment and grain trucks. For the life of me I don't understand why farm equipment has to drive for MILES on a state highway when there are section roads all over the place. And, some of the farmers will get over, but some just don't and those are the ones that are so annoying. And, just don't get me started on grain trucks. . .those things are driven by "casual" semi drivers and they simply have NO clue how to drive. Now, with all that you'd think I was a city girl, but no, I grew up on a farm and yes, my Dad did drive equipment occasionally on the state highway, but just long enough to get to the next levee so he could get off that road. And my Mom was a professional semi driver. I can not begin to count the number of close calls I have had with grain trucks. . .they have no idea how stop lights work (red means run right through right) and are clueless when it comes to how wide they are and they end up taking up 2 lanes. Just last week I had a close call at a stop light. . .my light was green and other cars had gone through the light and it was my turn. . .I have had enough close calls that I look before I go and sure enough there was a grain truck whizzing along going WAY over the speed limit and right through the red light. Had I not looked, I wouldn't be writing this blog this morning. . .just saying!!! Just saw on the news that a grain truck ran completely over a car stopped at a light. . .truck ended up straddling the nearby railroad track and the car was totaled. . .how fast do you think THAT truck was going??? I understand the stress of harvest season, but leave me out of it OK??? Slow down, enjoy life, and especially the harvest. . .

But, enough about that. . .I have done a bit of scrapping and want to share so here goes. . .

Another Week Begins

And so, another week begins. . .thankfully it is nice and cool here. I love the autumn air because frankly I hate to sweat!!! It is kind of nice to be able to open the windows and let the fresh air in. . .I like to call it nature's air conditioning :-) Have lots that I want to accomplish this week and at the end of the week we are going to take a little day trip before things start to get crazy. Seriously this week, I hope to spend time getting the 2016 calendars at least scrapped - will add the photos a little later on since we have a birthday coming up. And I would like to get those Christmas scrapbooks in the works. On that front, I need to take inventory and fill in the holes. . .and I think there are a LOT of holes to fill in this year :-)

But, I want to share the latest pages that I have done, so here goes. . .

Weekend Warrior

Goodness, that was a rough night!!! I had a dream that just kept on going. . .and the dream was aggravating me SO much!!! I had a problem and absolutely NOBODY would help me out. . .in stead, they'd just laugh at me. Geeze!!! I would wake up, walk around the house and try to go back to sleep again. . .then the same dream just continued. Then to make sleeping even harder, my dh had to be at work at 7 this morning. So, not wanting to oversleep, I finally gave up trying to sleep and got up at 4. . .

Do have some new pages to share so here goes. . .
