Ashlynn....A real California girl.....

Today I cleaned house and I am smelling like Pine-sol. I clean a friend's 6000 square foot house every two weeks and I can not tell you how tired I am by the end of the day!

Nothing smells cleaner than Pine-sol. Not the flowery fragrance....the original, good ole smell....it's the best.

A few weeks ago my neighbor, Nimia, was cleaning her big house and she was using Pine-sol for her cleaning chore. Her house is HUGE and she was tossing out buckets of used Pine-sol water between our houses. My windows were open and all that cleaning smell filtrated into my little bunglow. My house smelled as if I had spent all day cleaning. Needless to say I thanked Nimia for making my house smell so clean. It smelled like I cleaned and I didn't lift a hand!!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Let us find a cure and keep those who are battling

breast cancer in our prayers!!!

Time has a way of passing by us way too quickly.

I can't believe how long it has been since I have been

on this computer.....I am hoping to catch all of you

up with the happenings out here in Texas.

It's been a wild and crazy ride.

Good times....bad times....!!

But, through it all....God has been in control of all times.

Finally!!!!!

Hey, I am finally connected to the internet now and I will be back to blogging!!! YAY!! I have lots of pictures of the grandchildren to share with you and lots to tell......!! For right now I am only going to say hello and then get back to work, but I will be back on the internet shortly to fill you in with all my news.

I am so very happy....internet and TV all in one day. Thank you AT&T!!

It is pouring rain today!! Last night we had so much rain...thunder.....lightning....and tornado warnings!! Frightful evening, but I survived. This spring it has been one rain storm after another........I just know when this weekend hits with the high temperatures...I will be wishing it was raining!!

I missed birthdays last month......Sandi.......Donna........hope you had great birthdays. Sorry I didn't call either one of you, but I did think of you two!

Summer is still going through tests for the lump in her neck. Please pray for her. Next week she will have another biopsy done and then have to wait again for the results. The waiting game is taking a toll on her......and on her mother and the rest of the family as well.

More later..............

I just can't seem to get it together.........

Wow!! Can't believe it has been over a month since I wrote anything. I imagine all of you are wondering just what is going on out here in the Lone Star state. First, I am not longer employed....lost a great, great job, but I know the Lord will provide another........and I am praying that it is soon!! The list of whys and wheres can go on and on, so I will spare you all the little stuff and hit you with the big stuff!! I have been very sick for the last two weeks. It's an upper respiratory problem complicated with a good dose of allergies. YUCK!! Some days I am up and moving while other days I am completely out of it. I keep telling myself that I am doing great.........and getting better........I sure hope I can fully convince myself with what I am telling myself on a daily basis.



It's been hot the last couple of days.......making up for all the rain we have been getting these last few months. Today I think summer time has finally hit Texas! YAY!! I worked in my yard on Sunday....laid a few more bricks and planted a few more flowers. The backyard is beginning to look as pretty as the front yard. I even tried to start flowers from seed......they are coming up and I am so elated.........I have never really had any luck planting seeds.



For those who I haven't gotten in touch with recently.....I promise I will do that soon. I haven't forgotten any of you.
