where do they go?

who,might you ask...
old bloggers...
where do they go?
when they haven't blogged in months...
I have been checking out my blog list that I follow...
and about half of them are not blogging anymore...
I wonder...
where are they?
could it be that they have a life?
maybe they are at Walmart, Target or Hobby Lobby...
have you ever wondered where they go?
no farewells...
no explanations...
just a void between what was and now...
perhaps they started another blog and I just haven't found them yet...
maybe they started a new blog so I can't find them...
bwahahahahahaha...
nah, that couldn't be it...
so if you are MIA and happen to read this...
I miss you...

we have fall...

it's been slowly creeping in for some time now...
and the cooler nights are behind us...
50s at night...
85 today...
and no rain in sight for the next 10 days...
harvest is happening...
high school football games going on...
homecoming was 2 weeks ago...
and DH has been getting a little overtime in every week...
they are just now starting to pick the fields in force...
but I spent a little time this afternoon just writing checks...
paying bills...
and you have no idea how nice it is to be able to sit here and do that...
everything is paid for the month...
but...
the furnace would not come on when we tried it...
so the next few weeks worth of checks are going into...
fixing the furnace fund...
hopefully it is something minor...
and we don't have to replace the whole thing...
but, God knows our needs and it will happen...

had a woman get a hold of me last night who lives here in town...
she is very interested about adopting Charlie...
so I told her what to do to get her name in at the shelter...
I think he has his forever home...
;)
hope your day is going good...
DH has to work tomorrow...
so we only have one day on the weekend now...
grillin' out...
if he's not too tired...
and some ghosties might even make an appearance...
you never can tell...

for you to use...

here are some halloween collages that I made last year...
for you to use for your homes, your parties...
take what you want, all you want...
and enjoy...

the sorting is progressing...
purging is going well...
just about to call it a day...
but may do another box or two through the evening...

Another Charlie update...

called the shelter...
they love him...
but he didn't have a micro chip...
so they will wait a week to see if anyone claims him...
and then he goes up for adoption...
pray he gets the family he deserves...

Good morning!


well, I thought it was funny...

especially considering how I look this morning...
sloppy leggings...
sloppy tank top...
sloppy, over sized sweater...

I have felt so bad the last 3 weeks and just couldn't get my feet under me at all...
sleeping at odd hours...
no energy...
cold, ears, chest...

but last night someone flipped a switch...
and as fast as it came...
POOF!
it was gone...

so there is so much to get caught up on here...
I had started my fall house cleaning and purging....
just had everything torn up real good...
and here it's sat all this time...

so, if you don't hear from me for a bit...
just know I am trying to dig myself out of a hole...
and get the Halloween stuff put up outside...
I am ashamed that it's not done yet...

what will the neighbors think?
they might start to think I'm normal...
can't let that happen...

also, a note on Charlie, the most lovable yorkie mix ever...
yesterday afternoon, the animal shelter came to pick him up...
no one had claimed him...
so I called them and they are just great to work with...
and they sent a guy right away...
they can scan him for a micro chip there...
he needs flea drops...
they will have him checked by a vet and groomed...
if no one claims him soon...
he will be going up for adoption...
in the meantime...
he needs leash training...
potty training...
and he has been having nightmares...
growling and whimpering in his sleep...
and then he pees himself...
I have no idea what has this little guy scared so bad...
they more we saw, the more I think he was dumped out...
and hard telling how long he's been on his own...
but the shelter will work on these things and because Charlie is such a smart dog...
within 2 weeks he will be ready to find a forever home...
and...
he is highly adoptable...
he will not be there long...

I am going to call today and check in on him...
and see if they found a chip...
and just to see how he is doing...
;)
