Theres Nothing Better Than DIRT TRACK RACING!!!!

The rumble of the cars.... the mud flying....

Oh it was a great night.... We got pit passes, and were able to get within 10 feet of Kasey Kahne & Tony Stewart....

They started out the evening with the singing if the National Anthem.... The girl reminded me of the black haired sister on Dirty Dancing..... LOL....

Then just as if in cue, we had a fly over.... but instead of jets, it was a flock of geese....

Lots of good food..... and a few cool people that sat near us..... Others left a lot to be desired on who they are as people....

So anyhow.... in the main event.... Tony Stewart finished 5th & Kasey Kahne got 9th.... It was a great night had by all..... We finally pulled in the driveway at 1:30AM.... so we are dragging today... LOL....

Tuesday..... & We're headed to the races tonight....

Figured I'd better write before my Mom gets on me about it.... Although I see she hasn't written in hers in a while either..... But anyhow, back to me.....

I seem to be addicted to the new Lifetime Movie Network..... They play such good movies.... It really gets me in trouble.... LOL....

I have been busy in the garden.... and started canning tomatoes yesterday..... I have more to do today, & probably tomorrow too.... and I also have 3 five gallon buckets of cucumbers coming for pickles....

Saturday, we set up at the flea market in Port Royal.... made about $65.00.... and I bought some green peppers from the Amish.... Scott spent the day Sunday cutting & chopping for me.... We kept 1 grocery bag for stuffed peppers this week.... while Scott was chopping, Scottie & I went over the mountain.... He needed a new cell phone from verizon & I needed to get one activated for Darren with AT&T.... Well I ended up with a new phone, the LG SHINE.... I activated my old one for Darren..... Scottie never did get a new one....

But anyhow.... today will be filled with more canning.... and laundry.... I also need to plan supper for the boys.... Scott and I are going to the races down at Williams Grove..... Tony Stewart & Kasey Kahne will be there racing with the Sprint Cars.... We are so excited....

So until another day.... make it a great one....

People are soooo stupid.....

I am still so surprised at some people.... and honestly I should not have been..... but when we send in 3 steer at their request, and then they back out on you at the very last minute.... I have every right to be ticked off.... but ya know what, I'm over it.... (maybe.... lol).....

Anyhow.... I have the day off today.... so far I haven't done much of anything.... I do have a few plans for today though.... dishes, laundry, vacuum the living room & our bedroom, scrub the bathroom, & swiffer the kitchen.... Also if it dries up outside, I plan to pick tomatoes & beans....

For the weekend, we plan to set up at the 2 flea markets, of course....

Anyhow, this is a short one.... I'm off here to get some housework done....

Have a great one....

Almost the weekend..........

Boy, I just haven't really felt like writing for some reason.... But gotta keep my Mom "off my back".... LOL....

Yesterday (Wednesday) I had to take Tony to the doctors, he has strep throat.... He will go back to work tomorrow.... The rest of the day was rushed, & I ended up with a bad headache.... @ 4pm, Scott came home, Paul & his son Kevin were right behind him with the trailer.... We loaded up the 3 jersey steer & sent them off to butcher.... Colton & I locked the remaining steer in the barn.... then sorted the heifers.... Around 6:30 Scott came home, Colton was gone.... So him & I went out to supper.... just down to Loysville Country Restaurant.... It's one of our favorite places..... We took the scenic route home.... It was a nice time....

Today (Thursday) was a great day.... I was able to stay home all day.... We had some rain this morning.... then the sun came out, & was beautiful for laundry drying.... all of a sudden the skies got dark, & the thunder started rumbling.... Colton & I got all the barn chores done & eggs collected just in time.... Scott said at work hey had 1/2" hail.... & in Shermans Dale a small tornado touched down....

So anyhow.... We had Jeff, Deb, & the girls over for supper this evening.... I made a sirloin tip roast, scalloped potatoes, & sweet corn.... then pudding for dessert..... oohhh, it was soooo yummy.... I'm hungry just sitting here thinking of the left overs sitting in the fridge.... LOL....

Tomorrow is Friday.... thank God.... it's been a long week.... I have a few things to accomplish before the weekend.... scrub the kitchen floor (which I guess will be done on hands & knees since I haven't gotten a new mop head).... more laundry.... bird cages.... finish cleaning the garage.... & get ready for the flea market....

Until next time.... Have a good one!!!!

Happy Birthday to Scottie.....

Well today is Scottie's 22nd birthday & my niece Alexus' 6th birthday..... Happy birthday to both of them....

I spent my day on the phone & canning tomatoes.... I also made chili (homemade) for Scottie's birthday, although he wasn't here to eat it.... He left with Katie (his friend, that just happens to be a girl).....

We were supposed to see rain today.... I was hoping for it.... but we saw nothing.... so I guess I'll be watering the garden tomorrow.....

Well, I'm off to bed..... Have a good night.....

Sunday evening.... and all is well.....

Well lets see if this surprises my Mom..... she didn't have to call and remind me to update my blog.... LOL....


We've had a very good & accomplished weekend.... We were supposed to go to flea markets both days, but didn't make it to any.... Saturday we woke to the truck gone (Tony used it, and didn't come home).... and today we were just tired, and made the "executive" decision to stay home.... So over the last 2 days we've gotten sooo much done....

• all the onions are pulled & hung....
• the weeds are all pulled & mowed around & in the garden....
• Lilly is moved and eating happily.....
• picked 1/2 a laundry basket of tomatoes....
• cleaned the basement & under the front porch....
• organized the freezers....
• went through the canning shelves (had some things to toss).....
• got all Scott & I's laundry & towels washed, dried, and put away.....

Made a great supper tonight..... Venison tenderloin, baked potatoes, & corn..... YUMMY!!!!

Well I am off to relax & spend some time with my hubby.... Make it a great week.....

A new month.... Welcome August.....

Can you believe it August? Scottie's birthday is in 4 days.... he'll be 22..... Also my niece Alexus...... She'll be 6..... Before we know it fall will be here.... then the dreaded winter.....

Our garden is coming along great.... We canned 7 quarts of tomatoes already..... And I've pulled about 1/2 the onions.... Beans are blossoming.....

The blazer is working great..... I'm enjoying have the freedom to go whenever I need to or want too.... We still have a few things to get done on it..... but it's all minor.....

I have finally made a decision on a job.... After searching for over a month, with no success.... I'm just going to keep babysitting..... Colton's family is happy for that.....

We are still house hunting.... we still have 5 months..... so we're not stressing out ..... yet..... A place will come to us.....

So anyhow.... Today I have laundry, a little dusting, I have to hang the onions, then I have to run to the store for water (to resell at the flea market), & swing by and pay the rent.....

Have a great day..... & weekend too!!!!!
