I'm happily married to Mr. Man. We have 2 daughters, Big R and Little R. I'm a stay at home mom. We moved from the big city to the country, living a dream. I'm a collector and a packrat. I'd rather read a book than watch a movie. I battle depression. I love life, but that wasn't always the case. This is my journal.

TGIF

We finally got that cabinet from the W family. I had the perfect corner for it. Guess what? It doesn't fit. It's too tall for the familyroom. I'm not sure I have another corner upstairs to put it. What a drag. It would be perfect to contain my rooster collection. So I'm thinking we may try putting it in the kitchen.

We've had a bit of rain in the last couple of days but it doesn't seem to have done much for the grass. It wasn't enough. I'm not complaining or anything either. Saturday should be perfect for Little Rs birthday. We're doing it more in the evening this year, rather than afternoon. Its going to involve outdoor stuff and a barbecue and a bonfire. Then sleeping out in tents. That's cool for 14 year olds eh? Sure it is. Our first time here we had all the old fashioned outdoor race games like the three legged race and potato sack races, stuff like that, the kids LOVED it. They were still talking about it at school in September. This is a few years later, a few years older and we're thinking horseshoes and volleyball. Last year was a pool party with our 16' Easy Set pool. They had a blast.

Last night Mr. Man suggested we go to town for dinner since Little R was off doing a 4-H thing. So we went to a bar with food and a pool table. On the way there I said we should have called D & S and D.W & S.W and get them to meet up with us there. I never think of these things in time. Once we got there Mr. Man pointed out a computer in the middle of the bar with a big sign over it saying "FREE INTERNET". So I immediately got on it and sent messages to D&S and D.W & S.W telling them we were there and to come on down and join us. They didn't get the messages. Bummer. But Mr. Man and I had a good time none the less. He kicked my ass at pool a few games then I won the last one, fair and square. We took the backroads home hoping to see some wildlife, thankfully we didn't run over any more small animals. We didn't see anything.

Today is cut the grass day. Half of it is dead and the other half is growing and needs a cut. I've been watering spots but it doesn't seem to help much. I've noticed a couple of lawns which are immaculate, they must water every day.

I've been trying to get pictures of all the birds I get to watch, but I'm usually too far away, even with the zoom on. I need a better zoom. We took pictures at the trikers fireworks, a couple of them turned out ok but the photos just don't do justice. There is a setting on the camera for fireworks but we didn't have time to fool around with it and find it. I'm determined to get a good photo of a hummingbird before the summer ends.

Haven't talked to D nextdoor again. I haven't seen her. I am hoping we can clear the air and get back on track. She now knows that I miss her. Not sure that's a good thing or not.Oh well, I'll try again today. I'll be out there weeding and mowing all day.
Have a lovely day y'all.
