On our last night in Florida, we went to dinner with Jeremy and Mandi and two of their close friends. Right before dinner, Jeremy popped the question and presented the ring. Mandi was so surprised and she said yes.
Pat and I are both SO happy for them! 
Well we are enjoying our time in Florida with Jeremy and Mandi. Got in on Monday and had pizza in for dinner as we were all tired. Excellent pizza...in fact Pat and I ate leftovers for lunch on Tuesday. Tuesday both kids had to work so Pat and I just hung out at home with the nuttyman. Went to the Ale House for dinner last night. Very good.
Today we woke up to rain. It has rained all day. Jeremy had to go into work for awhile but he was home about noon to pick up Pat and take him to the club to look around. Mandi and I went to see New Moon and then grocery shopping for dinner tomorrow. Jeremy has to work until one tomorrow so we will have a min afternoon Thanksgiving dinner and then football.
Hope everyone has a great turkey day!!
BEAT MICH-AGAIN!!! GO BUCKEYES!
We are packing today for our trip to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with Jeremy and Mandi. Tomorrow we will have Thanksgiving with my brother and sister and leave Brody to stay with them for the week. He should have fun with Zoe my brother's doberman. They love to run and play in the fenced in yard. We will miss him but will also have fun in the sun with the kids.
Anyone who wants to see my Christmas crafts, I have them on my other blog site and they are at South Lawn.
Yep, we are getting a new puppy. Pat contacted the breeder we got Brody from and she is expecting 3 litters at Christmas time. We are first on the list for a little girl. I couldn't resist taking a picture for our Thanksgiving card. He actually sat there very well while I took the picture. The look on his face says it all....not too enthused are we?? Kinda looks like a mug shot to me. LOL He is such a good boy and I am hoping that his sister will be just as good and loving.
Went to a stampin up card party last night hosted by Judie Snoots. We made three different Christmas cards and an ornament. It was fun. Out at Perry Chapel Church...not Prairie Chapel but Perry Chapel. It was out past Union School. Out in the boonies for sure. I thought surely I must be in Newark by now...LOL. Met some nice ladies and had fun.
Off to get hair done tonight and time with Linda C. We have done this for years and never get tired of eachother's company. I miss her terribly after seeing her everyday for so many years. It's nice to have a girls night out once in a while.
One week and we will be in Florida for our visit with Jeremy and Mandi for Thanksgiving. CAN'T WAIT to see them!! Miss you guys and love you more.
Congratulations are in order to my brother John. It has been one year since he had his heart attack. He is feeling fine and has recovered completely. God is good!
Spent this afternoon at a baby shower for Kelly Clark Bratton. Her mom Linda hosted a wonderful time....it was at Roberta's. She got many nice gifts and everyone had fun.
Brody had me up again last night several times. Again he just stood in the kitchen looking at me. I thought again that he wanted to go out but he didn't. I finally gave up after the third time and just told him to go to bed! Sure enough this morning when Pat checked the mouse traps we had caught another one!! Brody the Mouser! LOL. Again, I guess I should be thankful he doesn't bark incessantly or tear things up trying to get at the mouse. We haven't had mice in several years. I think the outside neighborhood cats are getting lazy....plus there aren't as many of them as there used to be. No fear..Brody is on it :)
Have a few craft things to complete and then take all into South Lawn for the teachers to see. Also see there are seasonal flu shots tomorrow at the health dept. so may try to get in and get one.
Mouse Update:
Yep, there was a mouse in the house (and one in the garage). Brody had me up three times during the night. I went to the door each time to take him out thinking that is what he wanted. NO, he just stood in the middle of the kitchen looking at me. Do ya think he knew there was a critter about??? I'm sure he did. Luckily he didn't see it and give chase or start to dig it out of it's hiding place. LOL.
Setting traps again for a few days just in case.
It was a fun weekend. I went to the craft show at Sacred Heart church on Saturday. Judie was there with me with her Stampin Up stuff. Not many buyers but lots of lookers. I had a few sales and made enough to pay for my table and then a little so it was ok. Saw lots of people I hadn't seen in awhile. :)
Pat had packed up the deck furniture for winter and today we covered it with the tarp. Hate to have to do this but winter will be here soon. It was a great day to do it...sunshining and warm.
Brody still seems to be ok with Ali girl gone. I am pretty sure we have at least one mouse in the kitchen since I heard things last night and saw some signs. He was going nuts around the stove the other night so I think he knows there is something. Pat put out traps today so we shall see. If you can believe this, he went to Wally to get the traps and they were sold out! He got the new kind that you don't have to touch the mouse to dispose. Don't know if it will work as well but....
Well, I have Brody watching the animal planet as I type. It is Dogs 101. I just tell him no barking and he sits and watches. It is too funny! What a dog sitter!!!
Everyone have a great week ahead. Only a couple of weeks and we go to Florida to visit Jeremy and Mandi...can't wait to see you guys!
It was quite a weekend around here. Pat was busy with cleaning up outside, gutters, leaves, etc. Then Sat. morning I noticed that Ali our 13 yr. old jack was not doing well at all. She had been shivering lately like she was cold and Sat. she got off the bed and gave a yelp, then couldn't put weight on her back leg. I thought maybe she had a stroke. It didn't get any better by late morning so we decided it was time. Pat took her to the vet and he said she was not going to get any better. She was very anemic and losing blood inside somewhere. Her blood count was very low. The decision was made. We both cried a lot but today we have come to the realization that it was the only and best thing to do. Hard but best. She was suffering. Our young jack, Brody must have known she wasn't well as he didn't bother her much lately. He also does not seem to be looking for her today.
On a happier note, we had Christmas with the Adams family today. Eric, Dave, Porter, Molly and Nora all came from Zanesville for dinner and gifts. Mert and Bill will be in Fla. for the holidays so we do this early. It was great to see everyone. Unfortunately Scott had to stay home to take care of Avery who has had the flu. Speaking of flu, I think Pat has a touch of it as well. He has not slept well this weekend (wonder why?? ) and today he was exhausted and sweating a lot. He came home and went to bed. Seems better tonight.
To those who have posted Halloween pics of your kids, I love them all! What cute, cute, kids they all are. Christy I also love the pic of your hubby. I laughed til I cried. I can't believe he actually went out like that...what a trooper. Bet he surprised the gang at the party. LOL. Maybe someday I will have some grandies to take pictures of to share. I hope so at least.....:)
Have a great week~November already...where does the time go???
