Busy Friday all Around

It seems that Carl and I spent the same kind of night last night.... getting up a lot and continual dreams... I know for me it was like watching a really bad movie running to the fridge and coming back to pick up from where it left off... this stuff we are on is really terrible stuff when it comes to sleeping or lack of... so while we sat and the kitchen table this morning we decided that there was no napping today... no matter how tired we got.... we needed to be tired for the night to sleep.... and no 10 pm bed time either.... which is really hard for Carl because at the moment I left him downstairs watching flashpoint telling him that he couldn't come upstairs and watch it because I know him all too well.... two minutes in bed and he will be in la la land...

As for today... we didn't nap... he went out to the garage and when he came out several hours later he had a new bird feeder made.... and a monster of one at that... he said he was fed up filling all the little feeders every few days so he thought he would make this one... and no I didn't get any pictures of it yet.... well do that in the morning when the bird hopefully find it...

I was also busy today... getting things back in order around the house.... the extra table from the dining room was taken upstairs since the bar one that was up here is staying in the kitchen since Carl cut the 7 inches off... Calendars finally got hung up... Hubert made me a frame for my calendar last Christmas and I have always had a hard time getting the calendar and the frame together to hang it up and by the middle of last year the frame was taken down and the calendar stayed on the wall.... but it was always in the back of my mind and today I finally tried out my idea to get the two things lined up and hung without the problems I was always having.... I took some scrap booking wire and a button... thread the wire through it... made a hook out of the wire and there you go... one calender that can be changed every month without a problem... God I am good when I want to be... he he

I also hung some of the picture that were not put back where they belonged... and then decided to try my hand at making my own dog food... yes you hear me dog food but not that dry stuff.... I was looking in the freezer this morning and came across some chicken that had a touch of freezer burn on it and thought why not try to make some of that beneful makes in the little bowel... if they can make it I could, couldn't I... well I got the meat cooked... some veggies chopped up and then realized I didn't have any rice or barley to add to it.... so I picked that up this evening so I am going to finish it off tomorrow morning before heading out to the market.... but when I went into the store tonight the young fellow that works there also told me to put a little olive oil in it as well really does good for their coats...so going to try that as well... well let you know how the puppies like it... I hope they do it turned out to be one heck of a potful...

News wise with mom and dad... they were to the doctor's today..... all went good with that... the doctor finally took mom off the 1/2 pill twice a week for cholesterol and put her on a multi vitamin which I think she needs since she is not getting all the vitamins in the foods she is eating... so it was good news today... that is always nice to hear...

Well that is it for a Friday... not a lot excitement going on around here ... but there is always something....

Have a great weekend family and friends
Joanne
