Hannah's Career Day

She said she wanted to be a teacher and teach kids 1+1.

We had Patsy's pork chops, potatoes and gravy tonight.  They were really, really good.  Home grown pork tastes so different from Wal-Mart pork.

Helen made us BBQ pork tonight, but I had already started supper.  We will have BBQ sandwiches tomorrow night.  Oh, Boy, no cooking.  

She also made an Angle Food cake.  It was really, really good also.

It was unusually cool today, 45 degrees at 3 o'clock.  Tomorrow is supposed to be up to about 65.  I am ready.

Friday is Hannah's fairy tale dress up day.  She is excited about that.  

Egg thieves

no more.

We had two big black snakes in the chicken house this afternoon.  See the big lump in the one on the right?  That is a purple stone egg Patsy gave me years ago.  Last week I decided a snake was stealing eggs again, and I put the purple egg in the nest for him.  If we had not caught them in the house and dispatched them with the 22, I think the purple rock would have taken care on the one.

I made George cut the purple egg out.  I will put it back in the nest tomorrow, just in case we have more snakes in the hen house.

Kids did not have sense enough to come in out of the rain. 

Oh Happy Day.

I bought bedding plants for the planters.  All pinks and purples.

And, George made me a new planter for in front of the deck from an old stock feeder.  I planted pink and purple inpatients in it.  I think it is going to work much better than the planter I had.  The tree roots from the maple tree grew up in the old planter and used up all the water. 

They are going to look really pretty after a month or so when they fill out the planter.

Junior bought me the flowers on the left.  Hannah and Robert bought me red roses and the balloon.  Both bouquets are really pretty.

The kids and their dad went to Silver Dollar City today.  They had a great time.  Hannah said tomorrow they are going swimming but that was before she knew Emmy was here.  She might rather play with Emmy than go swimming.  We will see.

Comfortable

I asked Robert what he meant when he told Aunt Helen it was comfortable here.  He said 'I just like my planet.' I tired to put words in his mouth by asking if he meant the weather was nice and comfortable.  'No, I just like my world.'

Hannah said, 'Why do you not take my picture?'

Patsy is blind so she will never know what comfortable means to Robert.  

Robert knows lots of big words.  I asked him for a big word.  He said, 'Truck.'  Hannah's big word, 'Character.'

And, BTW, the woman Betty met  at the restaurant that lived in Grandma's apartments was Carolyn Marshall.  Anyway, at that time her name was Marshall.  Now it is Smith.  Mr. Marshall was a little short man, about 5 feet tall.  The other woman that lived there and helped care for Grandma was Wanda Heads.  I can remember these names better than sisters because I worked with these two women for several years.  Clayton was their boss.  I remember when Wanda lived there, she was had been married for several years and had two little kids.  I thought she was 10 or more years older than me.  We are exactly the same age.

My Bio

By Hannah.

Tomorrow is field trip day, to Dogwood Canyon.  I hope it does not rain all day. The weather man thought it would rain early in the day, then scattered showers.  I hope the showers scatter somewhere besides Dogwood Canyon.

And, tomorrow is GHED.

Beautiful day
