My aching back

I've been working a lot lately....picking up what has fallen.  I'm saving up to buy a leaf vacuum before my back snaps.  A riding mower that has a bagger and a leaf vacuum are what I asked Santa for this year.  Santa was also informed  of my need for an edger and a new weedeater. Santa will no doubt bring me DVDs and bath soaps, oh well.  Joe will be back on Monday, I had an e-mail from him this morning. He said a fire broke out onboard and took out some of the systems, it was brief and he didnt elaborate.  I hate the Navy, I'll be glad when he doesnt have to go out to sea anymore.  Anyway, time for dinner. Tata!

Ummm, rain again.

Mom left yesterday, she was here for a week and we did a lot of renovating.  We installed wood floors downstairs and what a difference it makes. We also changed the dining room into the computer room and the front room into the dining room, looks much better now. I've been working sporadically, mowing season is almost over here and its mostly leaf pickup now.  When I slow down too much I'm going to pull Avery out of daycare, no sense paying for that if I'm home.  Joe leaves on the 12th and will be gone for about 2 weeks. He'll be home for X-mas but wont take any leave this time, he's saving up his leave for when he gets out next year, he can sell it back to the Navy. Anyway, thats about it here. Tata!
