I work for one 6 months and the other 6 months. I won't be laid off when the RV business dies in October. I just scoot through the door to the ATV business!! They also gave me a sizeable raise. I could not believe it!!!  So I guess hard work does pay off!!! Now if working for both doesn't kill me I should do Ok, especially with the price of gas!!!  The best part is I don't have to draw low earnings!! I hated that.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Lawn Mower update.  Still not working, LOL  Got the new deck, needed more parts, is fixable, the repair man said I could use it but make sure I keep a close eye on the oil, it needs a new gasket. I asked him when could he fix it, because knowing me I will forget to check the oil and do it in completely!! Not.  I hate pushing .  He said he could not get to me until winter, he was covered up!! So, if hubby ever gets all the new screws and bolts i should be able to cut in a week.  $75.00 for parts don't know what the labor will be??? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Speaking of expensive parts, I pulled the hood open thing on my caddy to check the oil and broke the PLASTIC handle and called the local dealership to order the part. Are you ready for this that little plastic handle cost $55.64!!! Still cheaper than a car payment right?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;One of my blog friends has been painting her back porch and the pictures she showed it looks so good.  I need to do my back porch also!! I have had the paint for over a month and a half but there is a reason for it not being done.  You see this bird built a nest in the corner near the roof and I didn't have the heart to aggrivate her, so I let her sit on her eggs and they hatched and grew and today they flew away, so no more putting it off. Here is their picture, so you know I'm telling the truth. LOL&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuK63BH6SOsSC3AgqCgNhWkhch_cmLJV3x810fJ4_vJD8atCbuENOHESZ9ZCyeKrnJg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1868 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuK63BH6SOsSC3AgqCgNhWkhch_cmLJV3x810fJ4_vJD8atCbuENOHESZ9ZCyeKrnJg" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I'm not sure what kind they are , they look like they are from the swallow family. The mommy had a black head and a white chest with the split tail??  I took this picture of them yesterday and today when I came home they were gone.  So tomorrow when I get off work, I will scrub the porch down and get it ready for painting.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hayden got his first hair cut. His hair was hanging in his eyes and his Mom had an appointment to get his picture taken, so she had my son to cut it. My Mom was upset she said you do not cut their hair until they are a year old?  Here is a picture not the best shot because he kept moving on me of his haircut.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKVFj9HeCcn9rBuu7RXusOwpLBPW2eM8Z4spYOhrpVHKYxrA_3CB14yzbTcqzIeNW0" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1862 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKVFj9HeCcn9rBuu7RXusOwpLBPW2eM8Z4spYOhrpVHKYxrA_3CB14yzbTcqzIeNW0" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;We have had a lot of thunder storms for over two weeks now. It rains everyday about the time I get off work and my flowers need my attention but it is always raining. I guess I should not complain I will be wishing for it in July!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Not much exciting happening here , hope you all have a great week. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;As Ever, &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Pat&lt;/div&gt;

That in itself is an accompolisment.  He will be the first to tell you he could not have done it without the support of his friend and family.  But he made it. Now, he has to take and pass the state boards, which he will be doing soon.  Yesterday he went job hunting already.  He can work on his certificate for two months, I think he is ready to go back to work and start making a living for himself.  Here are a couple of pictures of him giving the class speech and accepting his certificate. Also, one of his Mom, sister, and Grandmother who were so proud!!! Congratulations again John. Mom loves you.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJwyo0VtpGNfIuaAk3uE4Wr8BOy5Ig26PStS5X2B67L-ZnBrhpUIMrHWXGmSSsGbcE" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1848 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJwyo0VtpGNfIuaAk3uE4Wr8BOy5Ig26PStS5X2B67L-ZnBrhpUIMrHWXGmSSsGbcE" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLX0WnP-hvm8m4yRA0hONaOB-rV_T8dalJi0oAqVFAeao-kA-SBRQjzOuSRCZuan20" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1849 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLX0WnP-hvm8m4yRA0hONaOB-rV_T8dalJi0oAqVFAeao-kA-SBRQjzOuSRCZuan20" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLW8CemXtAEouDFuI1Z8i0P424IOEGnpZpnyM1liiEuHjBPr3Kijj_i-uLQIPN65rQ" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1855 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLW8CemXtAEouDFuI1Z8i0P424IOEGnpZpnyM1liiEuHjBPr3Kijj_i-uLQIPN65rQ" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Fathers Day was great for hubby, he really enjoyed having all the family and friends around for the day.  Son, had a party after graduation and he brought all the left over food over for dinner, which was great meaning I didn't have to cook either!! LOL So we ate and ate and enjoyed one another's company.  He had a good day.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;On last Friday we had a bad thunder storm come through and did some damage in our little neighborhood.  There were some strong winds and one of our neighbors his utility pole fell over pulling wires and all down.  No one had electricity. The electric company came out and cut his wires loose and the rest of us had power.  Well, the neighbor that had no electric is sick and didn't know what he was going to do. It was so hot, so hubby ran extension cords so he could have at least a light and hooked up his freezer and refridge so he would not loose his food.  Hubby did not stop there, the next day he and the neighbor went and got all the stuff he needed to get his electric back. Hubby worked two days, yes even on Fathers Day to get this man's power back on. He sat a new pole, new electrical boxes, and wired it up for him and Sunday night they had power back on.  Just wanted to brag a little bit about hubby, he's a good man he would give his shirt off his back if you needed it. It also helped he was an electrican also. !!! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Well, I was leaving Mom's last night and the neighbor who hubby helped handed me this card. I though well its a thank you note in it for hubby, so I didn't open it until I got home and yes it was a thank-you note but they had put money in it for hubby's work he had done.  Hubby walked right over there and gave it back and said to them friends don't charge friends and neighbors help one another out.  Hubby and I were raised about the same way, if you can't help someone without expecting something in return, don't do it.  But did I tell you I am so proud of this man I am married to?? LOL  I know Kat I know, Like a good neighbor hubby is there. LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;We were lucky no damage, just broken limbs off a few trees, only Friday the 13th did hit us pretty good.  Before the storm came up I got out the riding mower to cut the front yard and it blew up, now whats sad about this hubby had just picked up a new deck for it that day at the price of $300.00 no blades or belts just the deck!!! Now I have a new deck no engine!!! Hubby is going to try and work on it today to see if it truely is blown up!! Keep your fingers crossed that he can fix it, as tough as this old gal is I can't do the push mower thing, it just about kills me. It's too much yard for me to weed -eat!! LOL If it can't be fixed I am just going to have to bite the bullit and buy another one. UGH.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Oh, I almost forgot, I've got another job , I know you are saying are you crazy??? Well, where I work here at the RV shop, attached to our building is an ATV shop and a Bass Pro shop.  The ATV store lost their DMV person and they asked me to take it, so after a talk with RV boss its ok to help them and make me some extra money!!(New Lawn Mower) so I've been really busy trying to do my work here and catch their work up too.  It works out good, because I get laid off about the last of October and I can continue to work for these people through December!!  I just hope I can handle both, time will tell and if it turns out to be too much I will quit.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, can't end this blog with not saying something about Hayden!!! He is precious and he is developing a little personality . He is so special to us. I bought him a little kiddie pool, have not had a chance to put him in it yet but I will. &lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuI56pGCrBMpOIoUC5zp12StpBfzvCDJzA4dKx1cK9dA8Hk4_yKWdujBZ9msIVp4paQ" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1860 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuI56pGCrBMpOIoUC5zp12StpBfzvCDJzA4dKx1cK9dA8Hk4_yKWdujBZ9msIVp4paQ" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, enough tid bits and to those friends of mine I did not get around to wish a Happy Fathers Day too, I hope you had a great one. Now, I'm going to see what the rest of you are into. Need to add this , when I came home from work this afternoon my grass was cut and I thought hubby had lawn mower fixed my neighbor cut it for me, the one hubby repaired electric for. So I guess what goes around comes around. Thanks Neil and Dianne.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIbvnp52IvQE04Ho2tUjgNrwcGEEorN-X180yhbtrL_DX2KUXVYrUhF3tR9rBdAgHQ" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1755 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIbvnp52IvQE04Ho2tUjgNrwcGEEorN-X180yhbtrL_DX2KUXVYrUhF3tR9rBdAgHQ" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;First of all , I'm glad to say the RV business has picked up even though gasoline is $4.09 a gallon and diesel is $4.89 a gallon. So I have been busy selling campers during the day, all the involved paper work plus my bookkeeping duties here.  Then I go home and take care of Hayden until his Mommy gets off work.  Thats what I do Monday through Friday. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;If Hayden is taking a nap I water all those flowers I planted, but for the last two days we have had lots and lots of rain, bad storms, a lot of my friends are flooded.  One of my co-workers could not get out he was flooded in. You would think living in WV we would be high enough for it not to flood. These folks live along the Ohio River and it just comes out of its banks. We lost power for about three hours last night, but I had no wind damage like some of my friends. Thank you Lord.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hayden is growing up so fast , he can almost crawl now and he is sporting two more new teeth, which makes him a grand total of 4!! Here is a picture of his last two!! He is rotten!!!  Also, he is now eating baby food, he does pretty good, I just had to get back into the hang of things liking when he moves not to shove it up his nose, poor little guy, but we are good now. He loves it.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIXYiFSPuifRuXTpl773-fNRHfxJo0IHiZEBise26ESCPqT-AyMUymobvAk0pS4fdU" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1844 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIXYiFSPuifRuXTpl773-fNRHfxJo0IHiZEBise26ESCPqT-AyMUymobvAk0pS4fdU" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;With diesel fuel being so high, which hubby has a diesel truck, he went and put a new rear tire on his motorcycle, so that is his mode of transportation which doesn't bother him he loves riding that thing.  I am still gathering pictures of our motorcycle trip to Wyoming and I came across one of me standing at a gas station and the price was .98 a gallon. Ok, so it was in 1988, but hey I wish it was that price again.  I will do that blog for you , now that was a trip.  I don't think I've taken a trip with him since.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Benji is doing pretty good, he lays around a lot, I've yet to get him to the vet to have him checked out, but that is on my list for next week.  He will not eat dog food. I have tried it all, I don't know if his previous owner just fed him scraps or what, I try to hold out on him to eat his dog food, but then You know me, poor little guy and I give him cheese, part of my dinner etc.  I know that is not good for him, but I don't know what else to do. Hopefully my vet can help me here with this? Oh and his fur is finally growing out thank God!! From here on out I will be cutting Benji. LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hubby got our garden in, I know we are late, but it has rained so much, the only thing I did to help was plant Marigolds around his tomato plants to keep the bugs off! Now the deer is something else!! We did this last year when the deer got into our green beans, we cut up Irish Spring soap and spread it around and it worked they left our garden alone. So there is a little tid bit if you have deer problems.  My neighbor has a deer that comes and takes an apple out of his hand every evening.  I told him you are fatten him up for some hunter this fall!!!  Our county is over run with deer.  Me personally have hit and killed three with my automobile.  All the hunters want to ride with me. LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A few of my blog friends are having health issues.  My little friend Sarah's Mom is getting ready to go through Chemo and Radation my friend Collen who is in pain all the time, My best bud kat is having a hard time too &amp;amp;  Jenna has a lot of health issues  and my Friend Al, who has MS was hospitalized yesterday and any extra prayers you have please send them up for these good folks. It is so strange how we get attached to our blog friends, we have never met, or even spoke on the phone(execpt for Jenna) and their hopes, dreams, fears, sickness becomes ours!!!  Friends, sick or well I enjoy all of you and I cherish the friendship we have established over the past year.  If I lived close to any of you and you called me for help I would come running. I am truly blessed for having all of you in my life.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I don't know if I told you or not , but my arm had been bothering me a lot,well lets say since January,so waiting until I could not stand it anymore I went and checked on it.  He said it could be many things, arthritis, pinch nerve, tendernatisis (can't spell that word)??? So he gave me a shot of cortizone and a prescription.  I filled the prescription read the warnings and threw it in the trash!!! Why would I want to take a chance on having a stroke , heart attack, bleeding ulcer and on and on.  These warnings were in BIG BOLD PRINT. The shot has helped at least I can reach behind me now with out yelling out in pain. Like I said before getting old is not for whimps!!!!  So, I'm sucking it up and doing the best I can.  He also told me not to lift anything over 5 pounds, yeah like that is going to happen!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;UPDATE:: Neighbor stopped by and ask if that little poodle was mine and I said yes and he said well you are going to be a grandmother??? What I asked. I let him out in the mornings to do his business and he comes right back execpttttttttt for one morning last week!!! Seems he had an affair with a pekingese on the hill!!! I thought sure this guy was going to ask me for puppy support, but he said he just wanted to check  Benji out to see what kind of puppies his dog would have???? What would you call them Pekanoodle???   Will let you know how this unfolds!!!! Wonder if thats why he has not been eating, he's in love??? I hate it that there are going to be mix puppies. so guess whos going to be fixed!!!! I will talk to that guy again to make sure no harm comes to the puppies, even If I have to find them a home. I didn't even know there was a pekingese on the hill. I feel so bad.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Other than that I'm doing great, I may not blog very  much but I do try and catch each and everyone of you to see how you are doing. Take care my friends.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;As Ever, Pat&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

When things are slow at work, I try to stop by and check on all of you. With these gas prices the sales of RV's will be slow.  Friday I had three different people call me to get the value of their RV's so they could sell them! Isn't that sad?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, I worked Monday through Friday, came home and watched my sweet Hayden until 11:00 .  The evenings I did not have Hayden I worked on my flowers and yard. Here is some of the flowers I did.  To tell you about this one rock flower bed, those rocks I bought back off the mountains where my hubby use to have to go and check and upkeep radio antennas on some of the tallest mountains in West Virginia.  It took me a few years to get them collected. &lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuK1VVJd_ztfP3AoDkvqvaYkC3Z2ildmvoDYUJ3gj5OIhaaPYFhBBYomlUpD8e0yFbY" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1758 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuK1VVJd_ztfP3AoDkvqvaYkC3Z2ildmvoDYUJ3gj5OIhaaPYFhBBYomlUpD8e0yFbY" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLB8zlgHAmU43aGLamNbsKUaSGJe8g7EQHpA2wwIGS1V9_Xif0rTbDo0hvmrXSrGxI" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1776 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLB8zlgHAmU43aGLamNbsKUaSGJe8g7EQHpA2wwIGS1V9_Xif0rTbDo0hvmrXSrGxI" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKK3leYgWRLtI3a2NwTdOAZGAOmc4mY4fC2C07uJJaNIN5l-IU1WvGFowQe2GN3l6k" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1778 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKK3leYgWRLtI3a2NwTdOAZGAOmc4mY4fC2C07uJJaNIN5l-IU1WvGFowQe2GN3l6k" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLg0DtrLNXtru0Er5z5QwfnyW9Qm93Sr46Tocdu2mYBPaE1z7BzLBbEJdzGKR6tZ2c" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1757 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLg0DtrLNXtru0Er5z5QwfnyW9Qm93Sr46Tocdu2mYBPaE1z7BzLBbEJdzGKR6tZ2c" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuI1tbu2fzks9uPJk323qtzvUMSu05LlxBs3aZWVfBwSbVqJ0xn4dLwgu2Kz0YjpvT4" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1756 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuI1tbu2fzks9uPJk323qtzvUMSu05LlxBs3aZWVfBwSbVqJ0xn4dLwgu2Kz0YjpvT4" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuI3CaUB5-HbnnOi7T0oWmBA-BNWTeqpXGXzE2L_T_xuZDcv3FsVsPGV8eOU1UR52d4" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1761 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuI3CaUB5-HbnnOi7T0oWmBA-BNWTeqpXGXzE2L_T_xuZDcv3FsVsPGV8eOU1UR52d4" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The others are shots arund my sidewalk and the wall my hubby built. I did new mulch this year too. So I was able to accomplished something this week.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;On friday night my grandson graduated from high school and here are a few pictures showing him and his proud grandparents and his sister and my sweet Hayden and his adopted brother.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLAkGqCgWfTGbeG6wIwT4aFlg5MlpUudAuDzh4FaBEgyCC56QA1B4fwIAMWDaRHoqg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1815 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLAkGqCgWfTGbeG6wIwT4aFlg5MlpUudAuDzh4FaBEgyCC56QA1B4fwIAMWDaRHoqg" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKsmboNX7DjpXdA8mTGob_ED4gEHx-ITlTRekgi0j-03twSHKJaU5ZnLM5Rj6TCddg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1819 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKsmboNX7DjpXdA8mTGob_ED4gEHx-ITlTRekgi0j-03twSHKJaU5ZnLM5Rj6TCddg" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On Saturday we had a cook out and cake and just good old family togethe&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJPv1rbMrmxImDfz2JRvuleN3dM5vRJb4ygfRBZeFX1ouT_rXdxSBUXA0QhVQQkzgg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1835 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJPv1rbMrmxImDfz2JRvuleN3dM5vRJb4ygfRBZeFX1ouT_rXdxSBUXA0QhVQQkzgg" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The graduate!! He is such a good kid and we were all so proud of him.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now the next pictures are of my oldest daughter's rose bush and I wanted to share it with my photography blogging Friends.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIOSSM23T2i7-doLORzL6TSUx7h0XIv6egtouE5urBZpVl_4OikE6fmqlJZDt_THCY" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1826 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIOSSM23T2i7-doLORzL6TSUx7h0XIv6egtouE5urBZpVl_4OikE6fmqlJZDt_THCY" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I wish I had a better camera to show you the full beauty of this Rose Bush.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The next set of pictures is for my dear friend Al, who I promised I would do.  Al, the flower pot has three flags one is for my Dad, one is for my husband and the third is for you.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJUCmnkE_7Aysf-P4rkiUrF-tOoiHGFiVFM-xdaU780N7Ar7I07i57woxaXKWXGu4U" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1839 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJUCmnkE_7Aysf-P4rkiUrF-tOoiHGFiVFM-xdaU780N7Ar7I07i57woxaXKWXGu4U" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuK-dY_fB3SekUUkkzukXIvR18mMZY_lb3Pxj2phmvO4LnN4-EdGiiOLWFz27kSBtG4" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1838 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuK-dY_fB3SekUUkkzukXIvR18mMZY_lb3Pxj2phmvO4LnN4-EdGiiOLWFz27kSBtG4" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Memorial Day is just what it says remembering and thats what I do not just tomorrow but everyday I am so thankful for all that gave, like the song says Some Gave All.  So, please remember why we have Memorial Day.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok enough pictures, today was a good Sunday, I watched hubby work on his motorcycle, visited with my Mom and my neighbor. The neighbor is the one who sprained both of her ankles and she is walking again.  She said they still hurt but she is thankful she can walk again!! I filled all my bird feeders, brushed Benji out, just did little things today.  I was so hoping I would have tomorrow off, I wanted to paint my back porch, but I'm filling in for one of the guys, he still has small children and they have a pinic to go to so I told him I would cover for him.  Maybe I will sell a camper or two sure hope so!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I think that wraps up my week and a new one starts tomorrow. Hope I did not bore you to death, not very exciting here. Just day to day living.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Have a wonderful week.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I came to my space this morning with every intention of shutting it down and I read another friends blog and I knew right then that I could not, not that we've met or anything, but I care about all of you that I've made friends with in the last year. I do so enjoy your stories, life's problems whatever you share, it let me get to know each of you better.  So, how can I just say thats it, I'm not doing this anymore????  Friends do not give up on friends.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I tend to worry about some of my comments, did I say that right, did I offend this person??  Please know that if I do say something and its not presented right, let me know and I will try to explain what I was trying to say!!!  I asked myself can I do this and not see how everyone is doing, whats right in their lives, wrong, happy times???? No, I can't. So I may not post often because most of you know I'm an outside person and hopefully summer will be here soon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So, please know that I will check in on you and if I ever get some quiet time to myself I will post.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A little up date on Hayden, he now has one front tooth, this kid is not 6 months old and already has three teeth!!!  He is such a cutie.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hubby went to our camp yesterday to open it up, so hopefully I can go there some on the week-ends if we can afford the gas. Today it is 3.99 a gallon and diesel is 4.49 and I heard on the news one town close to us has gone to $4.05 a gallon. Wonder what it will be by Memorial Day????&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This week I'm working 6 days, my bosses grandmother died and I have to cover for him.  This is no problem he would do the same for me.  Well, I will end here, need to order flowers for his grandmother.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hope everyone has a great week-end, me I will be trying to sell campers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Pat&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+Keeping+My+Space&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1168.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1168.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 14:50:10 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>20</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1168/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1168.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-05-16T14:50:10Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Monday Blahs</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1152.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;I hope you all had a good Mothers Day. I cooked lunch for my Mom and two of the three kids showed up for lunch too. We all had a nice visit. Mom loved her bird house, now that means I have to find a tree branch to hang it from for her.  That probably won't happen until Wednesday, its the only day we are not suppose to get rain.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Yesterday was cold and damp and so is today. Isn't it funny how the weather affects your attitude. Mine sucks this morning. I came into work and the show room looked like a dump!! I think they party here on week-ends. So first thing I did was run the sweeper, then I cleaned the glass doors and emptied everyone trash can!!  I really wanted to say something, but considering the mood I am in I thought better of it. Just did it and kept my big mouth shut!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The other thing that is bothering me is where I live we have a Homeowners Association and we have dues that are due and payable the first of the year. Well, needless to say there are dead beats who just wont pay. These dues maintain our sewer Lagoon. So, after 5 years in arrears the association which I am chairman of decided to sue them for the monies past due which is a sizable sum, which is needed for repairs badly to this lagoon.  Now the thing that bothers me is we are sueing our neighbors and I hate it, but it had to be done or otherwise we would all have to move if we can't maintain this lagoon.  The EPA is still on our case for some violations and it takes money to fix these violations.  So, we hired a lawyer, (how we are going to pay him I have no clue) and he filed the suit and now everyone is calling and wanting to settle.  So I called the lawyer to see what I should do and he said to me:&amp;quot; I can't tell you what to do&amp;quot; What??? You are our lawyer, now is it going to be better for us to take this to court or settle???? Its a simple question?   Anyway I'm right in the middle of this mess and you ask why? The former chairman of the association is a preacher and he said he could not do this in his profession, so they voted him out and me in as the hit person!!!!   As soon as I collect the monies for the association I am resigning!!!  Just  a mess!!!  Our dues are only $10.00 a month and they won't even pay that!! I bet some of your water and sewer bills are a lot higher, right?  I've tried to maintain a good relationship with all of our 78 neighbors, but I guess this will blow that away at least with 10 of them huh?  Just hope they don't try to run me out on a rail!!! or something worse. Will keep you posted.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Sales here have dropped so bad since the price of gas is $3.89 a gallon.  The price of diesel is $4.39 a gallon which takes  to pull some of the larger 5th Wheel campers we have!!!  How can anyone afford to go anywhere??  So , if the new people don't buy us out we may have to shut down!!!  Thats a bummer for these young men who have so much invested in this place.  This gas thing has gotten way out of hand.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, enough bitching for one day!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hope you are having a good week, maybe mine will get better I hope I hope. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;AS Ever&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Pat&lt;/div&gt;

A week has almost past and I have not made an entry to my blog.  Although I have been around to visit all of you, love seeing whats happening in all your lives. Enjoy all of you so much.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;One of the reasons I have not blog as you recall I took 4 days off last week and boy did my work here at the job site pile up!!!! I had about 10 deals to close, as well as the day to day operations!! Thankfully I can say this morning I am all caught up. Yeah!!! Thats why I am blogging here at work this morning.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I want to wish you all a Happy Mothers Day (if you're a mother) and hope you have the best ever and if not have a great week-end.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I am lucky enought to still have my mother, she will be 81 in September.  She loves teapots, which I think she has way too many, but she also likes to feed the birds and have them around, so I purchased her a Birdhouse that is shaped like a teapot.  It is white ceramic with little blue violets on it.  Hope she likes it.  I will probably cook dinner for her.  Mom still lives alone , she is right across the street from me where I can keep a daily check on her and she me!!! LOL  She does very well, she keeps her own house and does her cooking, like I told you before most nights she has my supper done when I get home from work. Thanks Mom I appreciate it so much. With that being done it gives me more time to work on my yard, . So, Mom heres to you Happy Mothers Day.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;One of my cousins wife died this morning, and I know his kids will have a sad Mothers Day and my heart goes out to them. She has been sick for a long time . I know she is better off, because she has suffered so much with her cancer, but it still does not help the fact that they won't have their Mother this Year.  Sandra was a wonderful mother to her children and her youngest daughter who is a nurse took care of her to the end. I know this will be especially hard on her. God Bless You all.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Another note I want to pass on to you is that Former President Bill Clinton will be coming to our little town today!!! He is coming to the Ripley VFD .  Everyone is invited. No tickets needed. Hmmmmmmmmmmm!  Me going, No Way, that little place will be a mad house!! I did however stand in line from 2:30AM to 9:00 AM to see Geoge Bush, (our current Mr. Bush) on a fourth of July.  We are a small town and to see all the secret service on top of our little buildings with all their machine guns was something else to behold.  I did get within 20 feet of him though, It was very exciting and made the 4th extra special that year.  When I came through town this morning, the place was a buzzin, getting ready for Clinton's visit. All I can say is when I get off work this afternoon, I will be taking the interstate and by passing Little old Ripley, Believe it or Not.!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;When I was off last week Hayden and His Mom took a little vacation in the mountains. We finally got the little guy back last night, and I was afraid he would forget us, but he started squeeling when he saw hubby and when I got home from work he started his little dance thing swaying back and forth and grinning from ear to ear. We sure missed him and so glad he is back.  He got to go swimming and his Mom said he loved it. So I guess now I will have to get him a little pool for the back yard, a kiddie pool, I know I spend a lot on my grandchildren but I am not putting in a pool. LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok I think I have ramble enough, Hope you all have a wonderful Mothers Day and a great Week-end.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;As Ever, Pat&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+Mothers+Day+and+This+N+That&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1134.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1134.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 May 2008 14:08:45 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>12</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1134/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1134.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-05-09T14:08:45Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Sister Visit</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1118.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Well, it is Sunday afternoon and I thought I would share my visit with my sister.  We had a wonderful time, we laughed a lot, shopped a lot and worked a lot. All of the previous we both love.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I picked her up from the train station on Wednesday evening around 9:45, her train was about 45 minutes late but that was ok. I had the next four days off and I didn't care if It was late or not.  She said the ride was good.  The food was awful she said. I have never been on a train, have any of you?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Anyway, on Thrusday we hit the ground running.  We got the grass cut for Mom and Mom's hallway ceiling needed painting and she and her hubby did that.  I appreciated it so much, because its one less job for me, helped me out a lot.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Of course we ate good while she was here, Mom cooked for us everyday. She and her husband had been on a diet and they both had lost a lot of weight, but they blew that diet these past four days. LOL  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Friday, she and I hit all the little antique shops here in the area, she found several things that she had been looking for. We also ate lunch out that day to give Mom a rest.Then she and I worked on my fish pond, we refilled it and treated it for algae.  I have 9 fish in it I have 5 Coy and 4 Goldfish.  Mom enjoys it so much, she feeds them everyday.  To me its a pain in the butt sometimes, but it brings Mom such pleasure I don't have the heart to do away with it.  We also stopped by my work place to introduce her to my young bosses.  I asked one of them if they needed me to do anything for them before I left and he replied you need to run from here fast or you will be here to Sunday.  I guess they had sold a bunch of campers and all the paperwork is waiting for you know who!  I said OK, you don't have to tell me twice I am out of here, see you Monday.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Saturday was just sat around and visit with all my children and grandchildren so she could check out what was going on in all of their lives.  She fell in love with Hayden.   After, later that day I cooked steaks on the grill and had all the fixins and we had another laughter filled time.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This morning I had to get up at 5:30 and get ready to take her to the train station, I hate good byes, we both cried, hopefully I can get down there this summer and spend a few days with her on her island. Yes she lives on an island.  How cool is that?  Anyway here is a picture of Mom, Mary and Myself waiting for the train and her boarding the train.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKgiBy_-OpGS8o4XIJHp6DCAvMPP82wZSiE_VIKN_WDdYIjl9KnqoptFbMkuK0OxF0" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1749 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKgiBy_-OpGS8o4XIJHp6DCAvMPP82wZSiE_VIKN_WDdYIjl9KnqoptFbMkuK0OxF0" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJY_rCPqeCtsz_L1z4XZuiN09lRMQ5RRrk5ThLnn-yRrfg25koXDSVeEvBNMi2B4BM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1751 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJY_rCPqeCtsz_L1z4XZuiN09lRMQ5RRrk5ThLnn-yRrfg25koXDSVeEvBNMi2B4BM" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;She is in the green sweater, she would not look back because she was crying so hard. Anyway I love you dear sister and hope to see you again real soon.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;We didn't get any flowers done, I didn't want to kill her with work.  After the train left, Mom and I headed for the greenhouse to get flowers and now we have been on the road for about 3 hours and we get to the greenhouse at 10:00 AM and they didn't open until Noon!! Ugh, I was just too tired to sit there for two hours, so I drove home and took a nap. Hubby said he would take me back later if I wanted to go, so I may take him up on that offer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I don't have Hayden this week, He and His Mom and Dad went camping for a week. John and Iwill be lost without him this week, but on the other hand it will give me a chance to get all the jobs I need to complete done. But I will still miss him.  His Mom just called me and let me know that she got there, I worry so and she promised she would call and she did. Thanks Sierra.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, I will quit running on and on, I wish you all a wonderful week , mine I figure will be buried in paperwork!!! Take Care, Pat&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+Sister+Visit&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1118.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1118.entry</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 May 2008 19:53:18 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>11</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1118/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1118.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-05-04T19:53:18Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Pictures of my hard work &amp; Hayden</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1094.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Ok here is a picture of the porch floor the girls helped me with.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLF8l_VUh8wIIeaoCyMSD4sU9FFWnh3tuLdnt5AnolnHTtV6_N6t6ITkT_IDpDAzjQ" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1736 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLF8l_VUh8wIIeaoCyMSD4sU9FFWnh3tuLdnt5AnolnHTtV6_N6t6ITkT_IDpDAzjQ" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I loved the way the stain turned out and it's water proof. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;You only have to do it every two years.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLAdRwB3Jmjw7yRHd_icGnk1R-6U7X1h1AkKfJarARxtuwdpvzrtYAVfdppS3m34rM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1735 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLAdRwB3Jmjw7yRHd_icGnk1R-6U7X1h1AkKfJarARxtuwdpvzrtYAVfdppS3m34rM" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  Ok, here are the ugly stressed steps, I was so hopeing they would turn out like the porch floor, but not happening for a while, Al, one of my blog friends told me to try goo be gone , nothing, would move that ugly mess, so hopefully the weather will over time. You won't hurt my feeling if you think they suck.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIK6cB0yBZ8KkfIaIYCSTiz56Lb5V5hur_E3qrHdKJoCxOjxz6aSKhDZZfa7FojIv8" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1737 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIK6cB0yBZ8KkfIaIYCSTiz56Lb5V5hur_E3qrHdKJoCxOjxz6aSKhDZZfa7FojIv8" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;don't they look like they are a hundred years old?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now , just got to share these of Hayden with you. &lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLbuLFPOFeNu64_VGnZjKJXrzoFZeaKCwUILSW5trqY_OkOSqo9ccEb3jWnzHB2AJc" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1724 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLbuLFPOFeNu64_VGnZjKJXrzoFZeaKCwUILSW5trqY_OkOSqo9ccEb3jWnzHB2AJc" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;He is 5 months old now and scooting all over the place. the next picture is of him in his Dragon suit.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJZC7ZSaJOkd93ierrJ7EUrouE3hR39bmwDIG_hjxDZs977R5dL46D0xkRm3i3sS7o" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1730 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuJZC7ZSaJOkd93ierrJ7EUrouE3hR39bmwDIG_hjxDZs977R5dL46D0xkRm3i3sS7o" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLyBhStGORsvFjCLgFDRY1BNOYh-MmNmSM-CMM9Gz5Gn5AGqn1_SaywYDHcYbCUwRk" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt=DSCN1729 src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuLyBhStGORsvFjCLgFDRY1BNOYh-MmNmSM-CMM9Gz5Gn5AGqn1_SaywYDHcYbCUwRk" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, got to get off here, my only sister is coming from Virginia tomorrow and I've got to get this house in order. I have not seen her for over a year. We have a great time when she is here.  she is going to help me do mine and Mom's flower beds. Will try to remember the camera.  Everyone have a great rest of the week. I'm going to take Thrusday, Friday off so I can spend as much time with her as I can.   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+Pictures+of+my+hard+work+%26+Hayden&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1094.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1094.entry</guid><pubDate>Wed, 30 Apr 2008 02:08:31 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>9</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1094/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1094.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-04-30T02:08:31Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Busy Busy Week-end? Quirks</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1081.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Very busy at my house this week-end.  First of all I had Grandchildren Galore there, but they all helped me get a lot of jobs done, that otherwise that would have taken me several week-ends. Gotta love them granchildren.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;On Friday I picked up the twin grand-daughters , and boy are they little workers.  We stained the stressed steps as well as the porch floor. We worked three wide and the floor now looks like hard wood floors. They did a great job. As for the steps they still look like they are stressed. Hopefully the weather will help me with this!!! After we got the porch done we went to the swing in the yard and re-stained it too. First we had to scrub the winter off it .  Most of the day Saturday we were at the soccer field, they referee two games and then they had a game in which they played in.  Sadly they lost, but they tried.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Then my 18 year old grandson spent the week-end with me too, he also helped with the staining.  I had to send him to the store to get more stain and I let him take my caddy, and he said MaMaw, you just made my day!!! He was grinning from ear to ear. That made me feel good to see him grin so big. Deep down I kept my fingers crossed he would make it back and no dents.  Well ,I heard him coming about two streets over, he had the windows down and was blasting the radio with his music and still grinning. Got to love them, they keep you young. By the way he bought it back in one piece.!! Yeah!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hubby is wanting me to trade, the caddy is a gas hog, but he wants me to buy a make I despise and I told him I would drive the caddy until the wheels fall off!!! I know I will have to get a gas efficent car, but I want to pick it out, if he got to pick his big old Diesel out I can pick the car I wanted!!!! We'll see how it goes. LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I also had Hayden, he is adorable, I think I have said that before ????  Hubby and I took him out in the car yesterday, our very first car trip with him.  We did Ok, but Hayden cried the whole time,  I don't know if he didn't like the car, wasn't feeling good, and I told his Mom about it and she said Ma Maw, when I used your car he cried everytime I put him in it!! Ok, I guess the caddy has to go, got to keep Hayden happy!! LOL  Not for while yet, I am not ready for car payments!! I hate them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now about Quirks: My friend Jan tagged me because she said she loved Me??? She may not after she reads my quirks???LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;THE RULE FOR THE TAG ARE AS FOLLOWS:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;LINK THE PERSON WHOTAGGED YOU.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;MENTION THE RULES IN BLOG&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;TELL ABOUT 6 UNSPECTACULAR QUIRKS OF YOURS&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;TAG 6 FELLOW BLOGGER BY LINKING THEM&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;LEAVE A COMMENT ON EACH OF THE TAGGED BLOGGERS BLOG LEETING THEM KNOW THEY HAVE BEEN TAGGED.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Quirk #1  Towels in my bathroom have to be stacked color coded, like white , green, white, green Etc: if they are out of order I can not go to bed until I have fixed this!! Wash Cloths have to be folded a certain way.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Quirk # 2  If I see one piece of lint on my carpet, I cannot just pick it up, I have to vacum the whole room. Needless to say I go through a lot of vacums! Same for kitchen floor, something spills, I have to wash the whole floor???&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Quirk # 3  NO ONE can cut my lawn to suit me!! I tried hiring it out and then I would go over it, because they left uneven track marks on the lawn. So needless to say at 60 I still cut my own lawn and do my own weed-eating.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Quirk # 4  Did I mention before I do yard work I have to have my hair done and make up on?? Crazy huh, because it usually runs off my face from sweating. But when I start I look good!! LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Quirk # 5   I have ear rings to match every outfit I own, plus shoes, everything has to match.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Quirk # 6   Food, if I go to a social gathering, like my bowling banquet I have to know who made what, because I have to know who cooked it as whether I will eat it or not!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;That was hard, because I'm not sure the above is quirks???? Most of my blog friends have already been tagged so I won't get to tag six, just two , Jennie and Texasbluebonney.  Love you guys.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok now that you know I am a basket case everyone have a great week. Pictures will follow in next blog of finished stained porch and stressed steps!!!  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Nuff Said: Pat&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+Busy+Busy+Week-end%3f+Quirks&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1081.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1081.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:35:42 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>8</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1081/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1081.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-04-29T14:35:42Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>This "N" That</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1053.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Not much happening here at the work place. I think they have a meeting with the new prospective owners this evening??? I'm not going to fret over it, I will cross that bridge when I get to it.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Today they say is Earth Day and everyone should do something to save the earth, I guess one of the things I could give up is paper plates, I use paper plates for every meal, unless its a holiday or something.  I do catch rain water in the summer to water my flowers and wash my hair in.  Have you ever used rain water to wash your hair, you need no conditioner, it makes it so soft.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;You know I thought I was clumsy, but my neighbor is gotten me beat.  Remember my neighobor I told you about who moved here from Pennsylvania and was so home sick and lonely?  Well she is settleing in, got her and her husband into bowling with us.  Now she loves to do wood working and she was out in her shop making a trellis for her honeysuckle bush and she stepped out of the building and there was this hole and she stepped in it and down she went.  They thought she had broken both of her ankles, but after an MRI they are badly sprained. She also hit her head and she had a knot on it the size of an egg, not to mention she had one of her legs stripped for varicous viens and there were 27 incisions on that leg that she had done the week before.  So they take her away in the ambulance and I'm thinking they will keep her for a few days.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So the next morning I see her husbands vehicle there and on my way to work, I stop and tap lightly on the door in case he is sleeping, well immediately the door swings open, but I see no one, until I look down and there she is on all fours and just started crying when she saw me. I said what are you doing on the floor?  and why aren't you using crutches or something?  Since both of her ankles are sprained , swollen, black and blue she can't bear any weight on either.  She like me is a smoker and she had crawled to the back door to smoke and could not get back and her husband was flat of his back, because he pulled it lifing her back into the house that evening on return from the hospital. Why he didn't call for help I will never know.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Anyway, I helped her get back to the sofa, make her a pot of coffee and arranged everthing she would need until another one of our neighbors could get there to help her out for the rest of the day.  She thanked and thanked me and she said when she pushed that back door open she swore I had wings on my back and was all in a glow.  Now what a compliment, I hate this for her, because I know how independent she is and how frustrating this is to her.  So to help her with her independence I had a wheel chair and she can go to the bathroom now and get in and out of bed by herself. She called me at work and said what a life saver that wheel chair was. She just kept giving me so much thanks and I said honey you would do this for me if it was reversed right? Ok no thanks needed. Thats what friends do for one another.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;She is moving around a little now and the husband can walk again, a little stiff, but he is upright again.  Hopefully they will be ok.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Last night was my last night of bowling for the winter league, going to miss all of my great friends for the summer.  They have a summer league, but I have so much yard work in the summer, I just don't have the time.  To &amp;quot;toot&amp;quot; my own horn I had the highest average for the women bowlers. HOOT HOOT. LOL&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;One of my jobs I planned to do this spring is to restain my porch floor.  Now I had the steps painted and because they are treated lumber the paint will not stay on, so I had this bright idea to have my son pressure wash the paint off and I would stain them the color of the porch.  Well the pressure washer did not remove all of the paint, so I tried scrapping and all I was doing was digging up the wood and the sander was doing the same thing, taking away too much of the wood.  So I think the term for this look on my steps is called &amp;quot;stressed&amp;quot;, well friends they are stressed and so am I!!! LOL Maybe with time the rest of the paint will chip away. I will try and get before and after pictures when I am completley done.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Well, I've probably bored you enough, Hope everyone has a great week. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+This+%22N%22+That&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1053.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1053.entry</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:39:52 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>17</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1053/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1053.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-04-22T14:39:52Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Updates &amp; Looking for a Job???</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1037.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Ok, so on Monday I called DMV to talk to Miss Altheia, The guy tells me she is on vacation this week.  I said OK, knowing he was the same guy I talked to on Friday and I retold my story and he said yes I remember you.  Ok, what do I need to do to keep this license?  Should I resubmit an application, with my boss's signature What?   Yes, that would do and I will write you and let you know if thats all we need?? As of today no letter, so I don't know if I'm legal or not???  Its silly anyway, like my blog friend Cindy said any idiot can have a baby, but I have to have a license to sell a camper, things that make you wonder huh?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Then my boss came in on Tuesday to tell me that another company wants to purchase our little company??? OK, Bill will I still have a job or do I need to start looking for another?   So, then on Wednesday the new prospective new buyer showed up and my boss introduced us.  According to the new buyer he wants to keep us all but he was going to make a lot of changes!  To quote him , &amp;quot;he was going to rock my world&amp;quot;  Huh?  A very full of himself young man!! Don't know if I can handle that or not??? I guess I will just wait and see if the deal goes through before I make a decision.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Being as old as I am it will probably be hard for me to find another job since I plan only on working for another year and half.  I want to retire and do some things before my health fails me or my mind!!!  Don't know if anyone would hire someone who only wants to work for a year and half??? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now on to my evening life .  When I get off work Hayden is waiting for me.  He is getting so big . He learns something new everyday. I use to have to put his rattle in his hand to entertain him, but now he reaches up for it and he giggles a lot. So cute. Did I tell you his Mom is going back to college in the fall?  I'm so happy, because she knows working at the big W*mart, won't support Herself and Hayden as he gets older.  So, Pa Paw and I are going to do all we can to help so she can continue her education.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Well, thats my week not exciting, hope you all have a great week-end. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+Updates+%26+Looking+for+a+Job%3f%3f%3f&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1037.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1037.entry</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:06:42 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>9</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1037/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1037.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-04-18T15:06:42Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Walnut or Intruder</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!1026.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Well, today I wanted to tell you a story about one of our camping adventures to our little cabin on the Greenbrier River.&lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIDSZLywB89YTZFcehmS774__iNJwUBtVWN4pnnvW9Pugyuy7jdavYyWQ3tPVWMvzI" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt="PDR_1328" src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuIDSZLywB89YTZFcehmS774__iNJwUBtVWN4pnnvW9Pugyuy7jdavYyWQ3tPVWMvzI" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A couple of years ago, we went to our little cabin to have a peaceful week-end, its our get away place, cell phones don't work and the mountains are so tall around it you can not pick up TV even with a outside antenna.  No reception , can't have a satellite dish someone would steal it, so we take movies to look at in the evenings.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Always when we go Hubby takes a 22 pistol just in case, you never know being so far out what you might have to face?  So we get there on a Friday afternoon and unpack the truck and to relax and start our week-end.  Night falls and after watching a movie we decide to go to bed.  Now, there is two camps to the left of us, one in the middle is vacant and the other is not.  I guess they came for a restful week-end too, until I hear the loud partying going on.  So, just before going to sleep I asked MR. NRA if he bought his pistol with him, and he said yes why?  Nothing just wondering. Didn't know how wild this party would get, he could not hear because he is loosing, now almost lost his hearing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Well, about 4AM I hear this awful nosie and I thought what is that?  I laid there for a few minutes to see if I heard it again and sure enought it sounded like someone was trying to get in?  Hubby was cutting the ZZZZ's didn't hear a thing, so I get up to go check things out and we had taken my Mom along too and she was sleeping in the front room and I guess she heard the noise about the same time I did and I came around one door and she the other and we ran full drive into each other!  Trying not to yell because I did not know if it was her who was making the noise and she looked at me and said in a whisper there is a man trying to get into the cabin.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now hubby is still sawing ZZZZZZZZZZZZ's and I go in and try to wake him quietly because I don't want the guy outside to know that I'm up????  I shake and shake hubby and finally wake him and whispering Honey someone is trying to break into the cabin!!! He says &amp;quot;What&amp;quot; then I shush him shhhh be quiet, so I tell him again and heres his reply: &amp;quot; Aw hell woman thats just walnuts falling on the roof&amp;quot; (you see there is two large Black Walnut Trees in the yard)!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, getting more stressed  because I now see this man outside of the front porch. What I saw is what I said to my smart husband, &amp;quot;ok, that walnut is putting your new weed eater into your new truck!!!!!&amp;quot;  Up from that bed he came and looked at me and said where are my pants? What?  I don't know, finally he gets his pants on and he looks at me and says &amp;quot;Should I take my Gun?&amp;quot; My reply because he didn't believe me at first was ,&amp;quot;only if you are planning on shooting him!&amp;quot;  So out the front door he goes and I might add me behind him with the broom, since he didn't take the gun to confront this man , I thought well I can beat on him with the broom if he gets ugly??? Sweep him under the porch I don't know, I was shaking in my nightgown.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hubby says , HEY and the guy turns around and he has this huge cut on his head and blood is running down, and hubby said to the man what are you doing and why are you trying to take my weed eater???? Not to mention that you have tore all the screens off thecabin and scared the beejeebers out of my wife and mother-in-law, no all he wanted to know is why are you taking my weed eater?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Well the man asked hubby where am I?  Hubby told him the name of the town we are close to and the guys says that don't tell me nothing? what I'm thinking this guy is stoned or drunk or something.  Then hubby remembers this guy being from the camp two over and tells him to go back to his camp and I said John he doesn't know where he is at, how is he going to find his camp. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So hubby proceeds to the camp over which is about an 1/8 of a mile and the confused drunk goes back though our yard to the river,hopefully to his camp. I watched this dude with broom in hand to make sure he did leave and we have a drop off in our front yard at camp before you hit the river and he did a complete mid air turn and hit the ground a ton, My next thought oh Lord he has knocked himeself out for sure. Nope bounces up and heads for the river.   Hubby manages to wake his buddies up and they said yes he belongs to us. Hubby told him about the cut on his head etc; Said they would take care of.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, fix breakfast , discussing morning happenings and then and went and sat on porch to watch the river flow by and here comes the guy back up over the bank towards the cabin and my heart just starts racing, thinking where did I leave my broom?  He starts waving his hands like you would a white flag and says I come to apologize for my actions this morning.  He looks at hubby and points to his head where he received 17 clamps to close the gash and said, &amp;quot;Did you do this?&amp;quot; and hubby says no you had that when you got here.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;It seems they had party pretty hard and he woke up and had to go to the bathroom, where our camp sloaps to the river theres is a steep drop off and I guess as far as he could figure out he stepped off the ledge and the Greenbrier River Bed is all rocks no mud, dirt, etc; and cracked his head open thats where the confusion for him came in.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;He apologized over and over and come to find out he was a business man from one of the larger towns and he came to his camp quite often and he would keep a look out for ours if we wanted.  LOL yeah right.  He offered to fix the screens, etc, but we told him we had it all under control.  Then he looks at me and said did you find a set of keys?  I have a car rental over there and I guess when I fell I lost the keys to the rental. He said he looked on the rocks where he fell but did not see them and then I remembered where he fell off the edge of our front yard and I went there and looked because he did a full head over heels turn and just maybe fell out then. Sure enough where he did his head first plunge laid his keys, he was so thankful and still saying I'm so sorry.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Anyway I bet the next time I tell my husband someone is trying to break in the cabin he will pay attention , that is if I can wake him up.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Hope you enjoyed, strange story but TRUE.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I still go to the camp as often as I can, because when there are no drunks its quite peaceful. &lt;a href="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKd3YQYWGOvXP2EDJQ0Z2F7AG8i8lIg6NzOWEd2nU7lXKdkySwbGUzFR6RvEY03f54" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img height=200 alt="PDR_1815_0001" src="http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1pb4-iSUBdZuKd3YQYWGOvXP2EDJQ0Z2F7AG8i8lIg6NzOWEd2nU7lXKdkySwbGUzFR6RvEY03f54" width=267&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;You talk about a dull week, I had it.  Nothing exciting happen, execept the registered letter I got from the DMV!! Now why would the DMV send me a registered letter, I just got my license renewed and My Salesman/woman license renewed, what could they possibily want with me?  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Well let me back up, my hubby told me on thursday I had a registered letter at the post office,he couldn't get it because the post office was closed, so I fretted all evening and night trying to figure who this letter was from??? Was someone going to sue me, the IRS looking for me what????? Anyway everytime I woke up during the night I thought about that stupid letter. Could it be doom? Trying to think if I had ticked anyone off lately, filed my taxes wrong what?????&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;WEll it was the good old DMV, as you recall in a previous blog I had to get a salesman license to be able to sell campers in the state of WV, and as you know I said it was a way for the DMV to get more money out of us.  So , in December I go and get the license and only have them to expire in 20 days on my birthday.  So before my birthday in January I went back and got them renewed and they didn't send me a renewal notice, but I knew I had to have it done and so the little gal at the window said just fill out another form and we will renew them.  Ok, the owner had to certify that I was employed here and of course he wasn't with me, but she said thats ok he signed the first one only 20 days ago. We will renew.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;About a week later, received my application back and said we need for the owner to certify your employment with the RV Dealership. Bill signed and I mail back to Dealer Services.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;According to letter they did not get the signed certification??? If they did not receive they were going to cancel my license within 30 days.  Called DMV and told Bruce all the turmoil I had been through to get this license and he let me talk for 5 minutes and said you will need to talk to Althea and she won't be here to Monday???   Now seering underneath my collar and trying to be nice I said OK, what I really wanted to say was &lt;a href="mailto:*@*%#/"&gt;*@*%#/&lt;/a&gt; DMV Anyway.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So I guess on Monday I will call Miss Althea and hoepfully I can get this license thing straighten out, for her sake I hope I can get this straighten out.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The only sad thing that happen was to my cat Midnight, as you recall I told you Midnight is 17 years old and has the prettiest green eyes.  Also you recall I had Midnght fixed, so he doesn't wander he stays right at the house. Well that doesn't keep other peoples cats from strolling over into our yard. Anyway he was attacked and they clawed his eye and he is blind in his right eye, Nothing we could do to save it, but you can bet your butt I don't tolerate neighbors cats anymore, I chase them off or I set Benji on them and he chases them home and I can't wait until someone says something to me about it and I'm going to show them Midnights eye.  I don't mean to sound hateful, but if you have pets take care of them, don't let them ramble and cause havoc . I just hate it for midnight, he has lived this long and at probably the last year of his life be blinded. Yes I am upset!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now onto more pleasant things, Hayden is growing like a week and he now has two bottom teeth, only 4 months old and he has two teeth!!! He is growing like a weed, he knows his name, he laughs out loud or giggle I should say.  Can't wait to take him outside and let him discover the grass, flowers, .&lt;/div&gt;

My Dad was 54 years old when he died.  I know I remembered his death a couple of days ago, as you see he passed away three days before his birthday.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;My dad was born in 1925 to a very young mother and a father who was abusive.  My dad suffered many beatings from his father as a child growing up.  His childhood years ended at the age of 11 as he had to go to work to help his mom support his other 5 siblings.  His father had been put away from the criminally insane!  This work he did was on the river.  He oystered in the winter and did crabbing in the summer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;At the age of 17 he enlisted into the Navy, WWII was happening and he was sent to the South Pacific where he fought in 5 major battles.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;He came home with some kind of infection on his ankle and up to the day he died it gave him problems, but he was so proud of his military service .  He got out at the age of 20 and at that time you could get out on the point system and because of the action he had seen he had accumulated enough points to get out  and he returned home and  married my mother.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Two years later my mother gave birth to me and so the adventure of Father &amp;amp; Daughter began.   I loved this man so much and as you recall in my last blog he taught me so many things.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;They say most people who are abused become abusers themselves, Not this man, he was so totally opposite, not once did he ever hit me and I knew sometimes I would need it, but he would do it with words and once when I did get a whipping from my Mom , he said&amp;quot;give her one for me&amp;quot; and being the kid I was I said &amp;lt; &amp;quot;How Come you don't spank me?&amp;quot;  His reply was I'm afraid I might hurt you!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;That sentence made me realize just how much he had suffered as a child, so after that day I tried to be the most well behaved kid, so he wouldn't even have to think about whipping me.  Now my mother was a strong believer in spare the rod spoil the child!! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;My dad taught me how to work the river, in which I hated because I almost drowned once and I had this fear, but he pushed me on teaching me how to make crab pots, hang a gill net for fishing, cull oysters, tread for clams and I could go on and on. One day I asked him not wanting to clean fish that day, why do you make me do this? His reply was if you learn the river, you will never go hungry .  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I still didn't like it but because I knew it meant so much to him to have extra food that I did it without grumbling again, didn't like it but did it anyway so he could brag to all his friends who had boys how his girls could catch, clean, whatever with any type seafood going.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Now I don't do that today but if I had to I could because it is embedded in me and so now you know why I have no fear of trying anything once and this is what he taught me.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Manners &amp;amp; Respect was the next things, God forbid I say yes and no without behind it Yes Sir, No Sir, thank-you, and he kept repeating Patsy, you treat people the way you want to be treated. So thats what I do to this day, even if I want to say something else, I try to keep my cool and not say something hateful.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;When I got married and left home, he was still there for me, no matter what crisis I had he was there with a solution. I was always right in his eyes even if I was wrong, does that make sense? &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;He made his living by doing commercial fishing, crabbing , oystering until the waters of Virginia started getting polluted and he knew his industry was on the down fall.  Only with a third grade education, he took test and passed and got a captains license and the last 20 years of his life he was a tug boat captain.  I helped him study for those test, he could read but not well enough to be able to pass, so I read and he would answer the questions and with some explaining to the testing officials they gave him his test orally and he made a 100% and the job was his!!!  He may not have had the education, but he knew the waters from Maine to Florida like the back of his hand and in the dark too!!!  You could not loose him, now on land thats another story for another time.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;There are so many other things he did and taught my sister and I , that I could write a book, but my main goal today was to remember the special man he was and always will be in my heart. Yes , I was my daddy's girl and I'm so proud he was my dad.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;My Dad died of Melanoma cancer , I guess all the years he was exposed to the sun caused this terrible diease to take him, and like my friend Steve said he will forever live in my heart. I Love you daddy and I miss you soooooo much. Love, Patsy&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

I usually like to do it myself , but there is still a nip in the air so I said I will take it to the car wash.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Arrive at the car wash still had plenty of time to get to work on time.  Its one of those automated car washes.  Put my little debit card in and got the full service, wash, rinse wax.  The machine passed up and down the car and sprayed it with soap and the scrubbers did their thing and it continued to spray with soap.  There was no rinse water, just soap!!! Then the little light said waxing, huh? you haven't rinsed yet why are you waxing? I talk to the car wash machine, I guess better than talking to myself???  Anyway the blower came on and I felt like I was listening to Tony Orlando sing tiny bubbles but not in my wine all over my car!! Then the exit light came on and I pulled out.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Needless to say I cleared the doors and went inside to talk to the management, where they also have a detail shop.  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;She looks at me and says, &amp;quot;Did you have it in Park?&amp;quot; Yes I had it in park whats that got to do with it, do you not see my car is covered in soap??? Well , she replied if there is any movement it disturbs the sensors!! Well, let me tell you I did have it in park and my sensors are about to go off on you  little one!!!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So, she says lets do it again and I will stand off to the side and see ???  So. looking at my watch it is now five to nine and I thought ok, I will be 10 minutes late for work, but hey the boys will understand when I tell them why I am late.  Ok , pulled in until it said stop, made sure it was in park,soap and more soap on top of what already is on my vehicle sprays, scrubs and then clear coat and says exit.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;She says well it must be off its setting, YOU THINK, now what about the soap on my car??? Please pull around, gosh how I hate that especially at a FAST Food place and we will hand rinse it for you and wipe it dry.  We should have done this 10 minutes ago, because I am now 20 minutes late for work.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;They pull it in and rinse it off and dry it and she says is that ok, we want our customers to be satisifed??  Why didn't she believe me the first time? Especially since my car was covered in SOAP!!!  I said thanks and left and I arrived at work 35 minutes late because a sensor was OFF???  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Ok, thats enought bit*hing for one day, Hope all of you are having a better day. More bit*hing tomorrow. LOL&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.services.spaces.live.com/CollectionWebService/c.gif?cid=2747509659357857377&amp;page=RSS%3a+Car+Wash&amp;referrer=" width="1px" height="1px" border="0" alt=""&gt;&lt;img style="position:absolute" alt="" width="0px" height="0px" src="http://c.live.com/c.gif?NC=31263&amp;amp;NA=1149&amp;amp;PI=73329&amp;amp;RF=&amp;amp;DI=3919&amp;amp;PS=85545&amp;amp;TP=patsystanley.spaces.live.com&amp;amp;GT1=Patsystanley"&gt;</description><comments>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!954.entry#comment</comments><guid isPermaLink="true">http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!954.entry</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2008 14:51:14 GMT</pubDate><slash:comments>8</slash:comments><msn:type>blogentry</msn:type><live:type>blogentry</live:type><live:typelabel>Blog entry</live:typelabel><wfw:commentRss>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!954/comments/feed.rss</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!954.entry#comment</wfw:comment><dcterms:modified>2008-04-02T14:51:14Z</dcterms:modified></item><item><title>Happy Birthday Sonya</title><link>http://Patsystanley.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!26211D7A6EFAC661!942.entry</link><description>&lt;div&gt;Forty Three years ago today I had my first child.
