Is it monday already??

You rock honey, Do a spin!!
Baby Chance AKA Baby Cruise
This is me, I always lose 20 years and 100 lbs. when I boat. Kidding it's Kelsey.
Crazy Joe the jumper!

Got my kitchen remodeled so I thought I'd take a break at the lake.It was fun and hot and everyone who had something that would float was there. I personally do not knee board or wake board. I am an old fashioned water skier. However my husband said nobody skis anymore, so he promptly gave my skis away to the guy who bought our old boat. What the...??? In rebellion I have only knee boarded once and I have never tried wake boarding. I do enjoy watching the boys try to out do each other with their tricks and antics. Sometimes I drive them in the tube but I tend to go a little too fast. I want my skis back!!!!!

T.G.I.F.

Today I had the pleasure of all 3 of my grandkids. Olivia 3 , Jamie 2, Chance 10 months.
I love them all dearly, but I also know why God doesn't let old women have kids.
1. We do not have the energy or stamina.
2. We put them down and forget where we left them.
I'm going to go do something restful now like remodel my kitchen.
See you tomorrow. Pam O.

Is that you Jethro??

Okay...........This may sound crazy but I think some weird hillbilly bug has bitten my husband. We always joke about him being hillbilly, but I think this could be serious. In conversation yesterday he used the word "COMMENCED" As in , she commenced to tellin' me bout dinosaurs?? What??? Next he'll be wantin' his vittles served out by the cement pond, with all the critters watchin'... Lord, what next?

By the way thanks for reading and responding. I feel so special. Pictures are my next challenge. I will post some as soon as Sarah shows me how. She said for punishment that she was going to delete my blog, (She's jealous because I'm stealing customers) and I would be too dumb to get it back up. Well I told her I would sh-- in the middle of her floor and she would have to walk around it until I came over and showed her how to clean it up. Man I crack myself up. Later, have a good day!!

Can you see it?

Can you see my profile picture? It looks like this.

Life with Sue aka Mary Susan Smith

Sounds like a bad movie alias huh? Well it's true, Mary Smith, now Mary Sue Gassert. Or as we all know her as just Sue. The picture on my blog is from the birthday card Sue gave me this year. When you open it you hear a vacuum noise. I have practically worn it out because I think it is so cute and fitting our friendship. I have known Sue since 1978. We met because my husband started working as a carpet layer for her husband Ed.
Well I'll cut to the chase, we finally met and became instant friends. I had a housekeeping business and I believe Sue worked at a factory. She was laid off from her job and decided to start cleaning houses. We worked together off and on for many years. She has worked for the same family for about 30 years and I still work with her part time. I tried to retire in 2002 but misery loves company, so she keeps coercing me to work part time with her.Really I love working with her. She is my best bud and we always have so much to talk about. Those of you who know me know I'm quite a gabber, well Sue gives me a run for my money. Now you may be asking yourself,What does this have to do with anything?? Let me tell you...I believe people come into our lives for all sorts of reasons. Some stay a long time and some just pass on through. However each person contributes something, be it good or bad.
We have stayed friends for so long because we are real and honest with one another. She does not hesitate to tell me if she thinks I'm wrong or right for that matter. She holds me accountable for my actions. She makes me be honest with myself. OUCH, sometimes I wish she would mind her own business.
She has taught me to be a better cook. She has taught me to be more open minded and forgiving reminds me daily how important my family is.She validates my worth as a friend to her.So I will say to Sue, THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND.

Here she comes to save the day!

Okay I have taken the plunge to becoming a blogger. I never really wanted to put myself out there and be open to scrutiny, but I decided that the people who know me and care about me will read and those who don't can go watch T.V. or something.
I trust you will find my prattling entertaining if nothing else.I hope I can brighten your day a little and give you something to do when you can't sleep.
I began to read a few blogs of people I know when I was having trouble waking up at the crack o dawn. Really , what can you do at 4 am that does not wake up the whole house? Their writings became like a series., I was left wanting to find out what would happen next. I am an avid book reader and a serious t.v disliker so blog reading was a nice change. I have been happy with you, sad with you , and encouraged by you. I've enjoyed your pictures and your ideas. I've gotten to know some of you better through your blogs. I hope I can do the same for you. So if you feel like tuning in..Great.. I'm always open.
