Good morning ladies! I got up this morning to check election results and "FOUR MORE YEARS" was the headline on the one online tv station for here. UGH, we have to put up with this guy again! I sure hope I don't hear anyone gripe about him because I might just give them a piece of my mind. This city deserves what it gets with him now. He has a huge ego, even saying that God made him Mayor!!!! So, he is going to be truly insufferable for another 4 years. Oh well, we have no choice but to deal with it unless the feds can finally come up with the evidence to charge him with the crimes they say he committed. Thank goodness Jack can retire from the city in eight years!
I have finally finished the back to my sister's vest. I started on the left front, but didn't get very far last night. I have some housework to get done this morning then I will get back on it again. This is kind of a boring project, but since I have to get it finished on a time restraint, I need to work solely on it until it is done. The kids' slippers will be an after thought if I can get them in before Christmas. I do like being able to switch projects because I do get bored!
Jean: How is this warm weather affecting farming in your area? I mean, by now your temps are usually a lot cooler and I would imagine they would have already planted fall crops, winter wheat, corn and such? Does this mess it up any not having cooler weather? I don't know much about crops and planting and such. I just know you guys are still getting awfully warm weather for the most part. We were watching the ballgames last night and the Phillie and Rockies were playing in Philadelphia and just sweating to beat 60. I guess it has been in the 80's there. I think it would normally be in the 60's in the evenings by now. We are still cooking here. It was mid 90's yesterday. It is still really humid, which makes it worse. You wouldn't think so with the fact we haven't had any rain here, but it is so sticky. How are the Maui plans coming along? I know you have to be looking forward to going. Have you started Christmas shopping yet??? I am just at the beginnings, but am picking up speed! Since we aren't buying for the adults anymore, I can get the kids stuff done faster. I already know what I am going to get them, just have to order it. I am planning on getting Thomas's scrapbooking stuff and his atm bank this weekend I think. I do kind of dread hauling all of Jackson's stuff to Indiana. We have decided to buy him some bigger learning toys, which are going to take up space, that's for sure. I have a birthday email alarm and got one last night for Maggie. Her birthday is a week from today. Do you have her mailing address (po box or whatever)? I can't find it and thought I would send her a card and a note.
Susan: Hope Stan is on the mend and feeling better with this graft mess.
Well, guess I can unload the dishwasher and do some knitting until Jack gets up. I will definitely have to take a nap today so I can watch Las Vegas. It now has been moved to 9 PM CT and I am usually sleeping by then! Jack said he guesses he should buy me a tivo since I missed CSI again last night as I fell asleep!
Have a good Friday and a good weekend!!!
