The Smoke

Well, if you've heard by now, N.C. and a part of Suffolk, VA. are burning.
The smoke is so bad from these two fires that we can smell it at the beach.
The sky is filled with a haze and the smell chokes you. Not only is it hot and
then we have the smoke from the fires.
If you walk from outside to inside it comes right into the house.
I went out a little bit ago and could still smell it at 8:30 p.m.
They say that the only thing that will help us is some rain.
So, I sat down to enjoy looking at my flowers and the wind picked
up and a cool breeze started blowing. In the distant faint air you
could smell the rain. Oh, only if it would rain. We desperately need it.
Not to mention that it'd help with the fires and clear some of the smoke
out of the air.
It is so bad you can't even ride with your car windows down or cracked.
I could smell it at 7 a.m. when I went out to check out the sky and weather.
It's so bad it burns your eyes, even in your house.
Please bring on the rain...........
We need some relief.............

ARMY WIVES

Does anyone out there watch the show, "ARMY WIVES."

Well, since I don't have Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives, this is my new "soap" show.

Season 2 has started out so emotional.

If anyone watches it, I'd love to hear from you and what you think about the show.

Hope to hear from ya soon.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
to all the dads and step-dads out there.
I'm lucky to say I have a wonderful daddy
and a father-in-law.
I wish they lived closer so that I could do
something for them.
But it will have to be a phone, since my
dad lives in GA. and my father-in-law
lives in AL.
So later they will get a phone call.
And so will my hubby, he's a step-father
and not to mention daddy to the cats
that we have.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE WONDERFUL
DADS OUT THERE!!!!

HOT! HOT! HOT!

It has been in the upper 90's here with the heat index it feels like the triple digits.
And not to mention that gas hit $3.93 today. OMG!!!WTF!!!!!
Seriously, I'm gonna be working just to put gas in my car. This is getting out of control.
And not to say, I've had a sore, itchy, scratchy throat for almost a week now. So I got an antibiotic. No it's not strep. I thought it was may my sinuses but I don't have headache or runny nose. So I thought an antibiotic would kill anything that is going on.
I come home from work and the daughter wants to give me grief. Crap is more like it. First, she made a cake, and the kitchen was semi clean. But then she cooked dinner and I told her I wasn't feeling well. Well, she says, "SINCE I COOKED YOU HAVE TO CLEAN THE KITCHEN." That is OUR rule in the house, even when BBW is home. Well, he almost always has to clean the kitchen, come on honey you rarely cook. So I started cleaning and all of the suddenly, she says to me, YOU'RE IN BAD MOOD.
THAT IS SOMETHING I HEARD FROM MY EX-HUSBAND FOR 20 YEARS. IF YOU TELL ME I'M IN A BAD MOOD THEN I'M GONNA BE IN ONE.
So left went to go see this boy she works with.
I cleaned the kitchen and then proceed to vacuum the upstairs and downstairs too.
She thinks now that she has a full time job she doesn't have to do anything.
Okay, she does work 5 days a week but only works 5-7 hours a day not 9 or 10 hours a day.
She 17 yrs. old and thinks she's 25 yrs. old.
To me, boys are so much easier at least mine was.

Well off to the sofa with some hot tea with honey.
More later.......................

Errin

My youngest daughter just got new contacts. The colored ones, they are blue.

Here are some pics of her. I still think she looks BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME.

I think so anyway. They also have a pet ferret.

She will be 16 yrs. old in Aug. That's my babygirl.

HE CALLS TO ME.............

For my Hubby

He Calls To Me

He calls to me across the miles
Night winds carry his whispers
They float on the breeze and through my windows
Falling gently upon my ears
- Hush -
I hear him now.
He calls to me from the heavens
Glittering stars cannot compare to the sparkle of his eyes
When he looks at me,
I am consumed by the fireI see him now.
He calls to me through my dreams
Dancing together in the shadows of my sleep
Where we laugh and love once againI am in his armsI feel him now.
He calls to meEvery moment of every day
Distance couldn't keep us apart
When destiny drew us together
I'll hold him for eternity
As long as he keeps calling.

WONDERFUL WED.

I took half a day today. Oh what a day!! Tuesday was my daughter's 17th b-day, so I took her shopping today at the mall for her birthday.
Well, $300.00 later, I told her I better be able to borrow some of the clothes we bought her. She said "No problem". She really appreciate that her step father and I spent money on her.
But to be honeset, she went into the stores that she wanted to shop in and she got quite a few bargins. That's my girl.
Then I get a phone call frim my hubby whom tells me that I WON'T SEE HIM UNTIL SEPT.
YEAH!!!!!!
SO, he decided that in Aug. (which is the month of my b-day), I'd fly to Washington to see him.
But I need to know for sure when so I can put in my request for vacation time off.
Which, probably won't be a problem since my doctor is going on vacation the first 3 weeks of Aug.
Oh well, we've been apart for about 6mths. before. But this time it's different, he's in the same country not half way around the world.
I'd like to go to Washington. I've never been there.
Well, I need to go iron some pants, I have a dinner tomorrow at Ruth Chris'. One of the doctors I work with is speaking. Hey, it's free food and wine. I can't pass that up. Plus I've never eaten at Ruth Chris' so I can go and test it out.

Have a good night. Talk to everyone later.

It's almost FRIDAY!!!!!!YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A PRAYER

This is one of the best prayers I think I have ever rea d PRAY THIS

I started not to do this, but as I read it....
I understood God to say, 'You need a miracle tomorrow.... So here it goes... Prov. 29:25...
You never know when God is going to bless you!! Good things happen when you least expect them to !!!
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day, I thank You for my being ableto see and to hear this morning.I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding>God.You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that

If You're Going Through Hell Rodney AtkinsSam Tate, Annie Tate and Dave BergWell,
