Sept. 16

Well, if you read my last blog, I had great plans to keep this up alittle better. Okay, you are all free to laugh! 8-) I'll keep trying to do better! Not much news to report. Bob has started his classes for the semester and it's going to be a team effort to get through them...but we're managing.
We spent Labor Day weekend in Oklahoma with Angie (Bob's sister) and her family. We had a great visit and got to see our 8mo. old nephew for the first time. We'd all like to get together alittle more often, but life happens and it's a long drive. While we were down there we took the kids bowling - what a hoot! Bob got beat out by his 8yr old neice (and wife - but that's not saying much!) LOL We also went to a petting zoo and I got to ride a camel. I've always wanted to ride one so Faith and I enjoyed the privilage - pretty cool (and very bumpy! Much bumpier than my mules.) So, alittle history on me for those of you who don't know I had mules before I got married. My Dad & I raised them.) So, of course when we saw a Zedonk at the petting zoo I was intrigued. A Zedonk is a cross between a Zebra and a Donkey. They are very interesting lookin'.

Today, with help from Faith, I canned some applesauce. We had a box of apples sitting in the kitchen that Bob kept threatening to throw out to the chickens. I put a stop to his plans as I was going to make applesauce as soon as I got the chance. I finally decided today better be the day before he did pitch my apples. Faith helped alot and we turned out some very delicious applesauce!! (And Bob was very glad I hadn't let him pitch the apples!)

I think this blog is rather scattered (kind of like my brain right now) so I will close with that. I don't really have any more news Anyway and I need to get to bed. I have been up waiting on the last batch of applesauce to come out of the canner and it just got done. So, until next time...... I'll share a quote I read today

"I'd rather walk in the darkness with GOD than alone in the light."
