Summer must really be over

We went to my parents house today to help them get their boat out of the water.
The draw down on this lake will be in two weeks.
Today was forecasted to rain all day, so we rushed up there. Hubs got the trailer backed down.

Here comes pawpaw. One last scooter poot.
Perfect
Look a there!
She's out!
Work, work, work. They pressure washed and I scrubbed carpet. whew
Now we are at home.
It's already raining. Guess I will be doing some cooking while the Hubs watches his football games. I might join him.....maybe .

Goofing off.....

It's been a while.

Let's start with September 4th.
We took our camper to my mothers and this was the moon that night.
Corey climbed up on his bunk bed with his Nintendo and played, and we all sat outside under the awning enjoying the view. September 4th also.
I was still in bed on the 5th when I heard my son say, isn't it beautiful.
I had to get up to see what he was talking about. Here it is.
We left that Sunday and came back home. I cleaned the camper out, basically got it ready for the winter. This was probably our last trip until next year. I packed up all of our beach towels and bathing suits. Washed all the bedding and put all in the storage compartment under our bed. I think that's the cleanest it's been in a while. While I did that, my hubs got to work staining our porch. It was a project that we had started but was never completed a few months back. It looks really good. I'm so proud of how it came out.
He also cleaned out our flower bed around the mailbox. He planted bright pretty yellow mums, and filled in with straw around them. What a difference they made.
Fast forward now to the 12th. Yesterday we had family to visit us. We cooked out and talked about everything under the moon. It was a nice day....
(War Eagle)
Yesterday morning we went grocery shopping for our cookout and I bought this Pressure canner and cooker. A bloggy buddy of mine was doing a whole bunch of canning and It made me remember the days when I used to help my grandmother.
I thought it was about time to give it a shot.
Then we went to the market and bought some green beans to experiment with.
I hope it is a success. I hate my pictures turned out yellow. Any picture I take in my kitchen turns out this way.
Right now we are waiting on the "weight" to start jiggling......
Wish me luck that I don't have a new skylight shortly.
Now I think I will go look at other recipes of things I can put away.
Have a great week.

This week in review.

This week was a busy week. It's not one I was ready for. We registered for 3rd grade this week and met the teacher. She seems really excited to get the school year started, which was refreshing. I actually felt a little better after meeting her, not so much dread.
I'm still not ready though. The fussing and stalling because he doesn't want to do his homework just wears me out.

On too other things.
I found this little guy in my sun room Friday afternoon. I walked around the yard with him hoping he would hurry up and fly away.
Wasn't ready for the little guy to croak in my hand..yikes.

Now today. We have been busy. We decided to get up and go to my moms to go to church with them. She was pleasantly surprised! The church had Teen Challenge there this weekend singing for them. Pretty awesome group, and the stories these young girls told of how they came to be with Teen Challenge. Very touching.
After church we went to the mall to pick up my little honey some new school clothes and then went to the dreaded Wal-Mart for our groceries and other necessities. It always takes so long to get checked out. Oh well, it wasn't so bad today.
Everyone have a great week.

I'm sad, and what can I do?

My mom and my step dad have decided to air the differences tonight.

Ummm, we all have them. There Is no such thing as a "perfect" marriage. I learned that. Admittedly I am on my 3rd, It's the one I have figured out and learned It's not perfect, you have to work at it. We are not perfect and never will be. BUT, as long as I tell my husband on occasion that I'm sorry, and that I understand that I have been,
Cranky, he gives me slack, so I try to do the same for him. My mom is being unreasonable tonight, which throws me in the middle. I can't hurt either of them, and I won't. What to do?

He won't have anything to do with me...

My son, he runs from me every time I walk in the room.
I haven't had a hug or a kiss in days.
I did sneak up on him and kiss him on his back the other day and gave him a little hug.
You would have thought I killed him.
I got the "what the blazes do you think your doing look".

I have a cold.
It really wouldn't act right in the beginning.
It was one of those colds that starts out making you wonder if you were ever going to really get sick or get better.
Well that started LAST Monday.
Friday, I finally got sick. Couldn't talk.
Today, I have a voice (barely) but can't say more than 3 words without coughing up my toes.
I don't think this one is going away without the doctor's help, and I do need some hugs and kisses from a certain 8 yr. old.

Our 4th doings....

I was the 1st up and walked down to the dock with a cup of coffee.
Just a little quiet time.

Mom was tired of her view, the guys took care of it for her.
Before.......

After.....much better.
She gave me one of these for my upcoming birthday.
She asked me if I wanted my birthday present early and I told her no.
She gave me "the" look and I understood "I did want my birthday present early".
Moms are great.
This is ski island.
We always ride out there so Corey can play and it's not over his head.
It happens to be a very popular place to spend the day.

Playing Frisbee
This is up near the Georgia side where they were doing the fireworks show.
See all the lights ? That would be lots and lots of boats.
This posted last but is actually supposed to be up top..beats me.
It's not in the order I posted it.
Anyway, this is the parade they do every year. Please ignore us. Every time I hit record, someone had to say something.
