Beach Bound After 20 Years !!

Yes, you read right!! I have not been to the beach in 20 years. I hope it has not changed ! LOL We are headed out tomorrow with our friends to Orange Beach Alabama. We are going to have a rip roaring time.... Just kidding. We are going to relax.. Can you say... RELAX real calming... I am ready !! As my family knows me, I will not get any sleep tonight.. I always get so excited, I don't sleep. Then, next morning I am a ill Butt and no one wants to ask me a question, because I snap their heads off... lol. I think I will take a nap today...

I will try to get pictures. Hope the Oil Slick stays away. Maybe last time we have snow white beaches here in Alabama & Florida for a while. I will take lap top to keep reading everyone's blog. Till Later .....

May 1st And The Maypole !!!

May 1st.

I love the above picture!!

While I was hunting on the big wide world web for a maypole picture.. I came across a lot of different Maypole Dance pictures.

There were old ones like this one that I love. Look at the tall hedges and the clothes.

This next one reminds of my days in school with the Maypole. Yes, Elementary School. The years were 1970 -1976.

We had a Maypole. The kids that did the dancing and entwining of the ribbons all dressed in white and we had colored ribbons.

More like this pictures below:

Now I will tell you I did find some pictures of Maypole Dancing that I can not post here. Some were half nude dancing on the beach around a pole.

Some were all nude dancing in the woods around a pole... Isn't that called Pole dancing, or is that only if you are nude in a strip club or in your own home if you have a pole? lol Didn't want to see all that... lol

Well Happy May Day !!! Grab you a pole and give it a try !!!

PS, I did do a little stitching today... Very Little :)

Where Is The Stitching You Ask ?

I am asking that same question !! I did stitch a little tonight on my owl scissor fob. I have been working on him for awhile now... and he is such a little thing.. lol

I keep looking over at the owl stitching by my chair... Then I go to bed and look at the rabbit stitching on my bedside table.. I just sigh.... Shoulder is still hurt.

We are to have a lot of rain this weekend, so maybe I can stitch, or sew some of my stitching together and make something.

Just an update... till later !

Redneck Heaven

Here is the picture I promised. Yes, I live in the south. This is a work in progress. I will make sure ya'll see a picture when it is completely finished.

As you can see, Joshua already has a slide. While we are working he is sliding down it on his stomach and playing in the dirt. Poppa has plans for a sandbox for them. He has to finish this and start on the swing set that connects to the porch. Zoe already has a big plastic swing for her. She may outgrow it by the time we finish.

DH brought in a Japanese Maple tree the landscaper at work gave to him.. Get this... He is outside planting this tree.. I said" Honey, It is a nice tree... But you can't see it for all the junk around here!" . Hint Hint.... He is back working in Sprott Alabama this week.

I went back into work today. I made it for about 5 hours.. I am going for 6 hours tomorrow. Then 7 for Friday !!! I was not hurting to bad.

Oh No !!! DH is saying he has hurt his back using the arguer to dig that hole for the tree.!! If it is not one thing, it is another. The ol' Hee Haw song with the lyrics - "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" comes to my mind about this time..

Take care of yourselves till I get back with cha!

Work, Storms, Race & Hurt Shoulder

Sorry I have been not been blogging... I have been working. That is a good thing. Boy, did we have a weekend !! After a week of working all week and working Friday afternoon on the deck, it started to rain.... Rained Saturday all day. Then, It started storming about 6:00 pm. They postponed the Saturday race at Talladega. I love to watch race fans on TV. They were standing out in a flooded field Saturday , 3 good ol boys with drinks in hand and orange life jackets on them, saying they were going to ride this storm out !! woooo... Only in America !!! Bless their hearts... lol I hope they did, ride it out !!! This was me today at work !!

I will be at home for a couple of days. DH has worked me to hard on this sun room and deck. I have messed up my shoulder. It is bad when I don't know if it was the nailing or the screwing of boards that did it. Don't worry Doc gave me pain meds and muscle relaxers. I have only taken 1/2 of tablet of muscle relaxer. I didn't want to be sitting around looking cross eyed and drooling... lol

I will try to get a good picture of deck .. Till tomorrow.. I typed all this with my left hand !!! If any mistakes blame the left hand. Right arm has no feeling in it.. lol

Rebel's New Do !!

Rebel has a new Do. Our friend Christine gave her the first cut for summer. Guess What? It has turned off cool here in Alabama. Each morning she has got up out of her bed and has the shakes. I guess I will need to get her sweaters back out. We used to have her cut in a show cut, with the long fur hanging down and fur on her legs. She was a beauty. Now she is 14 years old and has a bad back, so it is hard for her to stand for long periods at a time to get her hair done. LOL . We want her to be comfortable and she is very hot natured. Here is a close up of our baby. Happy Birthday Rebel !!!

Tomorrow is daughter's birthday !! Doesn't seem that long ago she was a baby and now she has her own babies !! Where has time went? It has flown by. I had the grand babies Sunday night and Monday. Great time with them and then went into work this morning @ 7:00 am... DH about had to blast me out of the bed. LOL. I am so tired tonight. I am just now reading every one's blogs. I have missed about 1 week on everyone. Thanks for hanging with me during this time. I will be back to stitching soon, maybe by this weekend. I sure miss it. It relaxes me. My mind doesn't run wild when I stitch.. does that sound weird?

Talladega Race is this weekend. We don't go to the races anymore. We have gotten old. Oh... I forgot to tell ya'll. I have air condition. It finally got installed !!! Pollen No More !!!! Except that my whole house on the inside is yellow... urghhhh.

Boy,I am jumping around tonight. and I have taken a Tylenol to help with the stiff shoulders and Arthur in my fingers.. ( Arthur sounds like something my mom says)Yes, I think I am just getting old and I have not worked in over a year.

Well,I will leave ya'll for now. My baby turns 28 tomorrow and baby dog turns 14. Two family birthdays in one week. Big week here at home.....

Quick Post !!

I haven't been posting because I have been helping out in the office where DH works. I am so tired when I get in each night. I do have Josh and Zoe spending the night. Raeanne should be back Monday afternoon. Zoe is sleeping in the port-a-crib. Josh is flopping around in the bed and kicking... lol I think we need a king size bed.
I will try and get some pictures posted tomorrow. I have things to show... Till later.
