I Love Laundry

I have used Tide for 35 years. No one could change me. My mom used Tide. I was loyal. But, lately I have been trying to save some cash by clipping coupons. I found a $2 coupon in the newspaper insert for Purex 3 -in- 1, a new detergent. It is in a small package and comes in sheets that have the detergent, the softeners and the anti-static stuff all in one sheet. You just pick up a sheet throw it in with the laundry and then just put it in the dryer. No measuring, no large boxes in my small laundry room. (It's not really a laundry room--it's the space under the stairs) But the thing that sold me is the scent. There are three to choose from. I picked Tropical escape. I do not like for the laundry to smell like perfume, so I usually bought unscented products. If you want to try for yourself, there is a one dollar coupon on the Purex website and info about the product. Sorry, Tide! The convience, the size and the smell have won me over.

Just a Box of Cards!

Check out this post. What a great idea! The author who made the post wrote the cards to her husband, but you could do that for your mother, father, child, or grandchild. I may do some for Parker that I save and give to him to read when he is older. One a week may be ambitious, but I think I could handle one a month! With a few extras thrown in. She also created and cut her own cards, but I would have mine made at Wal-mart, Snapfish, or York-- someplace that would do all the work! Start writing today and save them until next Mother's Day or someone's birthday, I'm sure it would be a much appreciated gift.

Graduation Treats

Check out these graduation treats. I think this is a website worthy of our list. It is called Bakerella. Be sure to look at the other things on her site.

Strawberry Fields Forever!

When I returned from my walk this afternoon, my parents were at my house with these. Well, this is all that is left since I had a few! They know how much I love strawberries and they found these today fresh from the patch! There is nothing better than some of the first berries from the field! I cannot express with words their goodness!!! Both my parents and the berries!

Is it Friday Yet?

This week I have the dreaded breakfast duty. That means I am suppose to be in the cafeteria each morning about 7:20. It is my job to keep order and peace and things running smoothly, but I am outnumbered 200 to 1!

Here's the week so far:
Monday--throw up
Tuesday--bad words
Wednesday--turtles
Two more days to go!!!!

Misty is in the gym doing the same thing, but even more outnumbered. We've been too busy to talk but I know she began the week with a frog! See why we ask, Is it Friday yet?

The Elk...

So...for quite sometime now, I have been hearing talk of  "the elk."  It seems everyone has been seeing this creature various places all fairly close to my house.  I am not sure where it came from or why it is here.  I have not gotten to see it.  Dana saw a glimpse of it one time, however this morning...he got PICTURES!!!   He was sleeping this morning when a neighbor started banging on the door.   The man saw the elk coming up in front of our house and wanted Dana to get in on the sighting too.   He told Dana he was afraid no one would believe he really saw it.   My mom told me about this story before I got to talk to Dana.   I said, "I wish he had taken a picture...but he probably would never think of it.   Well...he came through for...I have taught him well!  He got great pictures of it!   He said our cattle ran after it all the way down the fence row.   Yes, it was on the other side, but they still tried their best!   I am so amazed to see these pictures...the boys were super excited about them too!  It really is a strange sight to see...in little ole' Byrdstown!
