What part of the “Free VegetableS” sign are you having trouble understanding??

Free Vegetables means you come and take our vegetables!!!!

Not come and leave vegetables on our porch when we’re not home!!!!

If you in fact, felt compelled to leave the already husked corn on our porch, the least you could have done was take some of our vegetables with you!!!!

Seriously, we truly do appreciate the delicous corn that you left. It was guite good.
Wouldn’t some of our cucumbers and zucchini’s been good on your table??

Saturday’s post is up!

Don’t miss it, it’s a great one!

Come Visit us!!

Perry Christian School

Nope, not the show! The place!

Calen was whittling this afternoon, and cut his finger. He now has 3 stitches in his left index finger. He said “Good thing it’s not my mouse finger!” ROFLOL Guess it’s all good, as long as he can still go on the computer! ROFLOL

I’m working on a post about what we did Saturday. Hint: It was on the 6 o’clock news Saturday, on channel 27, for those in my area.

Today, we went to the 1st Survivors Picnic that our clinic/hospital had. It was a BLAST! They really went all out for the kids!

They had a DJ playing music the whole time, including musical games such as the hokey pokey, and dances such as YMCA, and some others that I forget. They had a company come in and set up all kinds of inflatables. One that had spots to throw 3 different kinds of balls, you know those things you stand back and throw the balls into, football, basketball, and baseball, only this one was inflatable. They had 2 different kinds of bouncers, a dunk tank, and a obstacle course that ended in a big slide. They had face painting, Hannah was the only one of ours that got one. She had her face painted like a frog.

They had lunch, oh the food! lol hamburgers, hot dogs, and every imaginable sidedish, desert, chips and drinks. Door prizes galore, and certificates to restaurants that they handed out, as well as certificates for oil changes. The cancer kids got “Survivor 2005” t-shirts. Norma, the nurse that organized it, stood on the steps and threw out other tshirts, from a tire place that said “drive like you own it”, Relay for Life, and The Lexington Dream Factory. We saw a lot of the nurses that Calen used to have at the hospital, and 3 of his doctors were there. The 4th may have been, and I just didn’t see her.

It was so great to see some of the kids that were in treatment at the same time as Calen. To see the kids so happy and healthy was just awesome We can hardly wait until next year!

Here’s a pic of Calen throwing a ball at the dunk tank. They said this was a dr on here, but not one that Calen had. He’s new, I guess, I’ve never seen him before.

Here’s the kids in one of the bouncy things. whatever they’re called.lol


This was a Noah’s ark one. You can just barely see my 4 little ones in the windows.

The highlight of the day, was when Dr. Geil placed Survivor medals around the cancer kids heads. This is him, putting Calens medal on.

Calen and his medal.

They had lots of fun games for the kids. Here are pics of Hannah,(don’t the frog eyes look freaky?) , trying to find a piece of bubble gum in a pie tin full of whip cream. They had to be the 1st one to find the gum, and blow a bubble with it. lol

Chew faster Hannah!

In the next game, you had to chew 3 saltine crackers, with nothing to drink, and be the first person to whistle. LOL You could eat the crackers however you wanted, all at once, or one at a time. Here are Hannah and Melissa chewing. I’m not sure why Melissa is doing this game, as she can’t whistle even without crackers! lol

Chew, Abby, Chew!

We had a hard time getting the kids away from the obstacle course w/ big slide. They loved it! Zachary tried 3 or 4 times to climb up with Melissa. He kept quitting. He finally made it! When he got to the bottom of the slide, he jumped up, and said “I’m going again!!” LOL

He Loved it! You can’t see his face in this pic, but he’s laughing, he likes it so much!

The event was on the 6 o’clock news tonight. But we didn’t make it home in time! I called all the grandparents on the way home, and told them about it. They watched, and Grandma taped it. But they’re cable went out for a few seconds because of a storm that was going over. They said we weren’t in the piece, but when we watched it we were! Well, in the background! Duane was shown twice, Kenny once, and there was a closeup of Calen’s hands at the end holding his medal. The reporter asked to interview us on camera, but Calen said he didn’t want to be on tv, D and I declined also. But I didn’t know at the time that I was talking to the reporter, that Calen had already talked to the camera man about his medal, when he got the pic of C’s hand and the medal. Calen meant that he didn’t want to be on, because he was already on! He was disappointed that he wasn’t on, well, except for his hands. I guess since he told the reporter he didn’t want to be on, the reporter didn’t use Calen, except for his hands.

It was an AWESOME day! And we really, really appreciate all the time and effort the staff put into this!

Zachary’s Thomas The Tank Engine Cake that I made.

Z cooling it in his new wagon.

OOPS! Z under the wagon!

I worked for 2 hours in the chicken garden this morning! It’s been so hot, that I haven’t been able to work outside very much, so the weeds are winning! But I am determined to subdue them!

Then I had to go run a couple of errands. I had to mail the yearly letter to the Superintendent of schools. That’s always fun! Then I had to go to the electric company and sign a contract. In order to get a security light installed, you have to sign a contract agreeing to keep it for at least a year. sheesh! Their putting a light on a pole, not loaning money for me to buy a car! As Mel would say, “That’s dumb!”

Now, I’m hiding out in the a/c! It’s way too hot out there!

All the neighbors are acting like they don’t want any more veggies. So I put a sign on our mailbox “Free Vegetables” Guess how many people stopped! None! Zero! Zilch! Nada!

You know what I did Sunday when we had Zachary’s birthday party? I MADE the adults take home veggies. ROFLOL Hey, the kids got goodie bags, the adults had to have goodie bags too! hmmphhh! The kids were glad to get theirs! lol

What happened to eating healthier? huh?! All these people are SUPPOSED to be eating veggies! Maybe I need to give them a nutrition lecture, THEN give them the veggies! LOL

I didn’t think I was going to be able to sleep last night. I was folding D’s clothes. He decided to help. Ok, fine, I sure appreciate any help that I get. Except…..well……He folded his work jeans wrong, he folded his work t-shirts wrong, he hung up his casual shirts, and one was facing the wrong way on the hanger. Now you know, that all the shirts on the hangers HAVE to be facing the same way! I didn’t think that I was going to be able to sleep last night with the shirts facing the wrong way! Sad, but true!
