Tis the season...

for asthma attacks and allergy/sinus headaches.

Each fall I have terrible headaches and trouble breathing. I only have one fully functioning lung and it has some scar tissue in it.

While I understand that sometimes people HAVE to burn their leaves, I don't understand why they burn them when they are wet. It rained all night Thursday, most of the day Friday and all day Saturday. The leaves are wet, people.




This lovely fall sight is on the corner across from our house. It's obvious from the smoke that the leaves are too wet to burn properly. You can't hardly see the house for all of the smoke. The only thing I have to say is...thanks goodness the wind shifted and isn't blowing in my direction anymore.

Now, where's my inhaler and my allergy pills...

Indiana Ghost Trackers...Michiana Chapter

Last month a bunch of us joined The Indiana Ghost Trackers-Michiana Chapter. We meet once a month for a meeting and then a ghost hunt after. Me, Heather, Kylah, Chris, Jay, Heather Hawks, Jason and Jen all joined together.

This month a photographer and reported from the Elkhart Truth went with us. There was nice article in the paper on Thursday. I am going to try to link the article here.

We had a real interesting EVP(electronic voice phenomena) from the first hunt that we went on with the group. My grandma's name (Dorothy) was heard very clearly on the EVP. There is no one in our group that is named Dorothy. We were happy to here from her.


Some members of our group.


The pictures below, are all pictures that I took.

Wednesday's thrifty goodies...

Yippee! I finally did some thrifty shopping! It's been a while!

Dollar General had racks of 90% off clothes yesterday. Heather and I checked out several stores.


I bought 2 of these "rock n roll" knit shirts. One for Justin and one for my nephew, Kyle. They were only 80 cents each. Merry Christmas, boys!! LOL


These shorts were $1.00 a pair. The denim pair are for Richard and the camo pair are for my brother in law, Jay. I bought him 2 pair of the camo ones.



These polo shirst are for Justin. He has to wear a collared shirt at his part time job. They are really nice and only $1.00 each. I'm putting these with his Christmas stuff.



Flip flops for Jaiden for next summer. 50 cents!


These 2 bins are for my scraproom. They were half off: $2.00 for the large one and $1.50 for the smaller one.

I need help!!

Mr. Nosey Man decided that today he was going to learn how to type. Needless to say that when he climbed on my keyboard he did something and now all of the words are really, really tiny. I mean so tiny that I can't even read some of my followed blogs, message boards that I visit and even my own blog. This sucks!

Is there anyone here who can tell me how to fix this problem. You might be saving Rocky's life!!

By the way, does my blog look normal or is the type really tiny? When I look at it, it's tiny.

Ouch!

Yep...I got the H1N1 vaccine yesterday. Our local health department had a free clinic for the vaccines. Luckily Heather, my sister and I were able to get the last 3 injectable vaccines. Because of my Lupus, I couldn't get the mist.

My close encounter...with the deer

Friday evening I was laying on the couch (with a bad headache) waiting for Richard to get home. I saw the deer out of the corner of my eye coming across the street. I grabbed my camera, some apples & carrots and headed outside. They were in the lot behind us by the woods. I called to "mama" and she came right to me! I was shocked and happy. The 2 little ones stayed back. I cut up the apples & the carrots and fed them to her. I had a heck of a time cutting them up, feeding her and taking pictures all at the same time! But I think I did pretty good! LOL

She loved the apples I was feeding her.
I think this picture is so sweet! She kept nudging my hand for more food.
She's checking on her babies. I threw some apples to the babies! Aren't her ears adorable?!
Eating a carrot out of my hand.
A stupid loud car scared her and her babies off.

Our trip to the apple orchard/pumpkin patch...

Last Saturday we all went to Kercher's Orchards to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. They have an awesome country store there with lots of neat things to buy and yummy foods to eat. The weather was chilly, but sunny and bright. We had a perfect day!

But, I have to add that we missed Kylah. I guess hanging at the pumpkin patch isn't a fun thing if you're 15!!

The swine flu has hit...

at Heather's house. Our son in law, Justin was comfirmed today and he is one very sick guy.

Now, this evening, Heather and Kylah are starting to get sick. They both have total body aches, sore throats, chills and fever. The doctor started them all on Tamiflu today, so hopefully no one else will be as sick as Justin is.

Keep your fingers crossed that the 2 little ones won't get sick, too.
