Too good not to post!...BORROWED!

"STINKIN' THINKIN'

I turned my dishwasher on the other day and, Pew! The smell was awful! I tried to run extra water through the sinks and relieve my suffering nose from the stench but to no avail. After fixing supper last night, my sweet hubby was helping clear the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. When he tried to use the garbage disposal, it backed up and filled the sink with yucky water! YUCKY YUCKY water! Well, to make a long story short, he got it unplugged and we figured out why my dishwasher was stinking...it was the garbage disposal, not the dishwasher that had a problem. From now on, I will be careful not to put cut flowers down the garbage disposal. They are pretty in the vase, but when they get old, they can really stink!

Lord, help me get rid of my stinkin' thinkin' and focus my thoughts on things that are pure, things that are lovely and things that are of a good report. These good  things will unplug my heart of the decomposing thoughts that linger in my mind for too long and make my life stink! Help me to check my "garbage disposal" frequently so anything coming out of my mouth will be fresh and sweet."

Glorious Sunshine!

Hard to believe I haven't posted for so long!  One thing I want to work on this summer is collecting kitchen stuff - like serving bowls, utensils, plates and so on for having dinner parties.  I decided at Christmas last year that I need to get over the fact that my house is small and just have parties anyhow.  They may have to be smallish, but I still can do it!  SO!  I march onward to THAT goal.  I've also been looking at some neat ideas for changing our home like new paint, accessories and such.  This picture inspires me a great deal.  Believe me there are other pictures!  LOL!  Can't wait to get to work on a project.

Saturday was such a good day.  We got up late and took our time about getting outside, but when we did we really worked hard.  Glen mowed the yard and cleaned the gutters.  Me and the kids worked on raking leaves/pine needles, caulking all our cracks on the outside of the house, cleaned down the outside basement steps (ECK!) and cooked.  We were starving by the time we finally sat down to eat.  I fixed baked spaghetti.  YUM!  Believe it or not it's my first time fixing that.  Turned out REALLY good!  And I fixed cheesy garlic biscuits to go with it.  Yum...we might have leftovers for supper tonight.  Can't decide between that and tacos.  Hmmm...

Sunday was GREAT!  Church was wonderful and afterward we got to have lunch with some friends and get to know two other couples better.  FUN!  Good food, good fellowship - great combination!!  And believe it or not I came home and washed clothes.  Then we discovered that the computer was acting CRAZY.  Oh, thrill...complete with eyeroll!  Finally got that "fixed" then we had popcorn and ice cream and watched Gilligan's Island.  The kids think it's pretty funny, but Glen and I usually sleep right through it!

Casey has done so well with her braces these first few weeks!  Incredible how quickly her teeth have begun to change.

On to supper!  Still don't know what we're going to have.  Maybe I should revisit the idea of menu planning!
