happy Labor day weekend...

greetings from the wild side...

got some rain going on...

and a cranky DH trying to get the carpet shampooer unclogged...

and their eyes are beginning to open...

litter 2

litter 2

litter 1

litter 1

litter 1

and their eyes are open, most of the time...

and in the middle of supper Friday evening...

we get a text from Craig...

quarter panel needs fixed...

he dosed off and hit the ditch about 5 miles from home...

DH popped the front back on...

but there are some parts left over...

and it popped the bead on the tires on that side...

but they are fine...

just need aired back up...

so waiting for the body shop to open on Tuesday to get an estimate...

in the meantime...

a friend reached out to me on facebook...

and they had decided to sell her husbands car...

2011 Hyundia Accent...

I think that's how you spell it...

140,000 miles...

great shape...

$2,000...

yeah, well we jumped on that...

got the money coming from the credit union and as soon as that gets here...

we will pick it up...

and there it is...

they let us bring it home and our neighbor is a mechanic...

so he checked it out and gave it a thumbs up...

so, we have a couple of extra cars now...

Craig can drive this while he gets the other one fixed...

and he may take some time getting the money together...

we only carry liability on cars that are paid for...

and we don't have payments on any of them...

so...

God is good...

Craig is fine...

no one else involved...

and we are going to have another vehicle if the others are in the shop...

and the sable...

Craig's other car he got 3 years ago...

is going to a gal he works with...

who has no car...

we decided that the title change and new tags fees would be enough for the car...

we all believe that one good turn deserves to be passed on...

and she is thrilled...

(Craig's been giving her rides to work and taking her home when they work the same days)

so...

hope your weekend is going well...

I need to go google how to unstopped this thing...

:O)

where does the time go?

well, that week went fast...

nothing really going on here...

just keeping busy...

I will get some photos of things around here this weekend and get a post up...

we do have 2 new litters of kittens...

5 total...

will post pics of them, too...

prayers, please...

my aunt Mary crossed over this morning...

she was a wonderful christian and so loving...

remember her children and grandchildren as they move on without her...

found some new things last week...

it wasn't all work and no play...

(and not all toys)

found these things while out and about...

found these fake spikes at the Dollar Tree...

$1 each...

there was only one  with the cotton balls...

but I think I can make some of these with burlap and cotton balls...

found the shiny pumpkin at the Dollar Tree and the white chunky ones are at the Family Dollar...

all $1 each...

and then the pick up with the pumpkins in the back...

Family Dollar for $5...

they have another color...

a dark barn red one...

but I liked the the looks of the white with gray...

so that's $10 of fun right there...

and I can keep them out all fall right up until I start decorating for Christmas...

can you believe September is coming up so fast?

summer is almost done...

its been another fast year...

and they keep getting faster and faster...

I already have a fall looking yard going on here...

the walnuts are turning and leaves are on the ground...

we have been raking already...

just not fun when its in the 90s...

but we are in the cooler part of the week now and if the humidity will just go away, it will be perfect!

have good days!

toys, toys and more toys...

we got some really good buys last week at Wally World...

we are in such great shape going into this year...

and we found some of the popular toys out there right now...

and for all ages, too...

$5

$7

nothing here over $7...

this is amazing...

her eyes will close as she is telling you she doesn't feel well...

her nose turns red when she sneezes...

and her mouth pouts when she is ill...

this one is going to be so much fun for someone...

and these where just too cute to pass up...

we got a couple of them...

the horse can be combed and its just so cute...

we buy a lot of the Kid Connection brand...

really good quality and a very good price even when not on sale...

they have a wide range of toys for girls and boys...

bang for the buck!

if you need toys for your littles, now is the time to search out the clearance racks!

or grab a couple of things and put them back for your local toy drives...

ok, got a major line of storms heading this way...

hope things aren't as bad as they are saying...

but then the weather after this front is through will be awesome!

70s!

I can do that!

blessings to you!
