did you miss me?

well, its been a long, long week...
but here is one of the projects we knocked out while DH has been on vacation...
the potting area...

after a very hot and muggy summer...
this was really neglected...
and it began falling apart...
the cats liked to sleep on it...
but started falling through...

but to clean that mess up, some things had to be sacrificed...
like the blooming morning glories... 

and some things are gone now...

we got it all pulled out and cleaned out underneath...

thought I would lose the fence behind, too...
and part of it did fall off, but we were able to keep the most part...
for another year or two, anyway...
and in place of the old, the "new" went in...

and it looks really good...
this a Craig find...
a used tool box for a pick up bed...
and it works great...
it's water proof and holds a lot...
the extra pots are inside now...
and its been sitting behind the deck now for a couple of years...
and that cleaned that area up, too...

and here is a little something I picked up at Dollar Tree while we were in Paris on Tuesday...
a paper towel holder for $1...
and I got 3 of them...
for tape and string and such for the play room...
got another post on what I found there...
and then we have have 3 mega shopping days for the toy drive and did we find some great things at  75% off or more...
that will be another post...
;)

I also had another birthday and forgot it was my birthday...
telling ya, getting old here...

my aunt's birthday is today, the 18th...
and they have called hospice in today...
on oxygen and they cannot take her off at all now...
she doesn't want to eat and is fighting the mask...
so please pray for her and her kids and grand kids...

DH goes back to work tomorrow and Craig is home...
2 more loads of toys need to go to the storage room uptown...
had my blood work done this week, too...
that came back very good...
but putting me back on the vitamin D prescription strength...
lactose intolerant and it was slipping a bit low again...
I had a bout of IBS for about 3 days this week, too...
but that seems to be over now...
so...
I will be back in here soon and update you on the progress of the yard...
the fun things I found and all that...
missed you...
have a blessed week...

Well I missed you. :) Tete, I can't believe you went to Paris without me. LOL. I have a shirt on right now that says "Take Me To Paris" . I like that find of craigs for storage. Perfect. I have a wee stretch of fencing and I love it too, so I keep it going. I like the idea of that holder in the craft room. I need one for hair scrunchies.
Happy Birthday sweet girl. Hope you had fun other than Dr. appt, IBS, and work.You really know how to party. I just told someone it was too hot to sit on the porch and read, but it was not too hot to stain the floor boards...why is that? Gee, I need a vacation. :):) Blessings to you, now don't over do. xoxo,love, Susie

Hi Tete. I've been watching documentaries on gut health and did you know that 60-70% of IBS is caused by SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)? You might want to get checked for it. It's treatable with a specific type of antibiotic.
