Here I am…and all is well in Mammieland. I have been very busy lately. Nothing exciting mind you, just having some 'old lady' medical tests and workining overtime providing childcare. Sometimes even simultaneously! Test results are all semi A-OK so far. Not so sure about the kids. (lol)

I've also been physically "out-of-whack", too. My docs have taken me off of my thyroid meds and some other meds for the tests. For the past few weeks, it's like the Seven Dwarfs have been visiting. Sleepy and Grumpy have been here for awhile, and it's beginning to look like Sneezy will very well live with me most of the time.

**********Big Yay!**********

Hubby competed in his first Texas fiddling contest on 10/3/09 in Bowie, Tex. He came in 2^nd and won  $150.00!! Yay! Go Hub-by, Go Hub-by, Go Hub.....pfft. Ya'll know what I mean.

That $150.00 he won will just about cover what I spent there waiting on his turn to play. Bowie is a tourist town (just like my little town) and it has something called, “Chicken and Bread Day” on October 3 every year. They close off a portion of a street (2 blocks!!) and set up booths full of "things" for tourists to peruse. Mostly jewelry and Pampered Pet stuff; but there is stuff that some folks would call almost antiques.

And yes, of course I can always find things that I "need"!

My daughter, Grace and Annah went with us and we had a good time. Lunch was in a little café set up in an antique store.

No photos to go along with this.  #%$&^%!@$@#$.

I will still work on it, though. We had a great time!

I think that for one (or more) of my blog entries, I will leave the soulful words of my cold kitties in the body of the text. Up until now I've erase them and carry on. Ya'll will never know the damage control that I provide. But ya'll may find it interesting, so I will rethink that in the future.

Summer may be officially over! The past week has been rainy and very cool. I’m now thinking of decorating in oranges, browns and leaves. Usually it’s still in the 90’s this time of yea, so this is a luxury.

Go pumpkins, go pump...OH SHUT UP!!! Ok, ....I guess only one "Go pumpkins" is enough!!

Gail, “g” of “The Great Atlantic Northeast” will possibly be introducing herself to me (and I to her) early next week! She’s coming to this area to see her baby bro and I plan on driving up to meet her in the first person. I'm a little excited to meet her and a whole lot intimidated! She's very cool and I'm not.

This is a very short entry and I’m sorry. Usually I ramble on and on, but at the moment I have to see to Hubby’s work clothes (he’s working out of town this week and doesn't know how to pack a suitcase...hhmmmrump!) and I am also being bombarded by some chilly kitties! My baby kitties have never experienced anything below 85! My lap is evidently the warmest place in the house.

But, to say the least….I’m back to blogging. Boring blogging, maybe…but I am back blogging!!!

Now to see if I can download the contest pictures. Or you can see them HERE

Happy Fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
