Hubby heard that the farmer's market in Newton was opening today. I told him there would not be a lot today, but we went.
Then we went to Wal Mart, where I bought premade sandwiches, chips, tea, fruit and pastry for us to eat...

I do not know what to do first.
My time is my own, sort of.
I was awake several times overnight. I got up after 5 a.m. because of a headache. Later I went back to bed and now I am ready for a real breakfast. I had a banana and a...

I bought a nice steak for us the last time I shopped. I will microwave some potatoes in their skins and I have made a bacon and horseradish spread to top them with.
Of course there will be other vegetables, and fruit. I am...

A good portion of today will be spent getting ready for swimming, then swimming and then getting the student dressed.
He will have a sack lunch before he goes home. We will send all of his extra clothes, etc. home today. A lot of...

Bob had errands to do, so he brought back Long John Silver's fish and more. Too much more, neither of us could finish. I will take mine leftovers as lunch tomorrow.
I took a shower while he was out.
Believe it or not I feel...

At least not pictures that do not have kids in them. I do not have permission to share pictures of kids.
It was a fun trip and I will likely take Bob sometime to enjoy both locations. The Old Cowtown Museum is made up of all...

I do not think I told you where we are going. Five school employee adults, some parents and about forty fifth graders are going to Old Cowtown Museum, and Botanica. It has been about twenty years or more since I went to Cowtown,...

This last week of school, combined with Bob's appointments, and sharing cars, etc. has gotten to me. I did not get online this morning.
It is supper time, and I have not put a meal together yet.
Just two and a half more days to...

People are going every which way throughout the school today.
Our Kindergartener from our program participated in Kindie 500, each kid had a cardboard box decorated to look like a car. During the morning it was nice and they...

It is the middle of the month, and I have a couple of bills I need to pay before work, because otherwise I might forget.
It is so much easier to do online.
Not sure I would want to go back to mailing it in.
Today I am paying...

We could not see Northern Lights from our house and we did not go out driving around for a better view. Maybe we are too low over the horizon or some such. We sure do not have much light pollution.
I am up and trying to decide...

I had hamburger that needed to be frozen or used. So I did both. I had three pounds. Two pounds went in the freezer in single pound chunks.
I had "discounted" bell peppers, and mushrooms I purchased last week. They needed to be...

I am going to go out and visit with Jane. Instead of going to Wendy's we shall go sit at the lake.
Prices everywhere are going up and up and eating fast food is not good for either of us.
Meanwhile, at home, I am cleaning out a...

I wonder if I looked the wrong way to see the northern lights, or at the wrong time.
Reading Facebook there are comments and pictures from people in the area. One person said the camera picked them up better than the eye. I know...

Maybe we will see the northern lights tonight, here in Kansas. At least two sources have said it is possible, due to some blasts from the sun.
Around ten p.m. we are to look out to the horizon. We plan to do that. Just shut off...

Bitty did not come home until 10 pm last night. It had me worried.
She is already pestering to go out and it is just now getting light.
It makes me wonder if someone else is feeding her.
Today at work will be a fairly normal...

Starting at 3:30 this morning, Bitty was saying she wanted out.
I do not let her out until it is at least starting to get light. I relented at 5:30.
Yesterday she spent the day hiding in my bedroom. She hates having strangers...

I needed to get the few things out of the attic that I have stored there. Christmas stuff, and small trees.Today they will blow in insulation all throughout, and the things would be buried. Besides, the decorations are hard for me...
