[My] Life in Wisconsin

Sassy. Cute.

A couple living in a small Midlands village in England, take on an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bathroom as such but she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.

"Monday's the best night, when my husband goes out bowling," the woman said. So the young girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday night.

After her husband had gone off for his bowling tournament, the woman filled the bath and watched as the girl got undressed.

She was surprised to see that the young lass didn't have any pubic hair and told her husband when he came home. He didn't believe her, so she said, "Next week, when you go off to bowl, I'll leave a little gap in the curtains so that you can see for yourself, alright?"

The following Monday night, while the girl got undressed for her bath, the wife asked her, "Do you shave down there?"

"No," replied the girl, "I've just never grown any hairs down there. Do you have hairs on yours?"

"Oh, yes," said the woman and she showed the girl her hairy muff.

After the girl had gone to bed the husband came home and the wife asked, "Did you see it?"

"Yes," he said, "but why the hell did you have to show her yours?"

"Why not?" she said, "You've seen it before.”

"I know," he replied, "but the bowling team hadn't!"


Jennifer, and Jaworski Road


The old stanchions-


Good Morning!

It is Jennifer Hope's birthday today. She is my 2nd eldest, and lives in Texas.
At 32 now, she has 2 beautiful babies, and one husband. hehehe (Works best that way).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!

That's a whole lot of candles ya know~
Have an extinguisher handy.  hehehe  Just sayin'...

What?!?!

Isaiah as Popeye! hehehe

My mom is HOW old?     hehehehehehehe


Here is Isaiah on his first day of school!


Isaiah



And here is Isaiah and Wyatt...

Isaiah and Wyatt
No, really!
Look very closely, you can see Wyatt's hair at the bottom of the picture.
He had fallen down before the shutter snapped. hehehe


But what an angel too!!!

Wyatt 8-18-2010
With his own little orb! And isn't he just as gorgeous as his big brother?!


I see that Mother Nature has given Jenné temps below 100° (F) for her birthday! They supposedly are to remain there for the next few days also.

Weather?  I thought it pretty neat that The Old Farmers Almanac came out with a long range forecast map for the whole country.  (However due to their September forecast, I no longer much care for The Old Farmers Almanac). hehehe

SEPTEMBER 2010 (for my area): temperature 52° (6° below avg.); precipitation 4.5" (1.5" above avg.);
Sep 1-3: Sunny, cool;
Sep 4-15: Rainy episodes, cool;
Sep 16-20: Rain and snow showers, cool;
Sep 21-28: Rain, then sunny, cool;
Sep 29-30: Rain, mild.

Oh well. Such is the changing of the seasons.
But I am not shoveling snow in September! (I don't much care to even do that in October for Pete's sake).
As long as it brings us football season, I will try not to complain too much.

My back has been particularly wretched once again.
Not sure what I am doing, or not doing; but it sucks for me.  I have had Casey lace and adjust my brace as tight as it goes, and still it is awful. 
Not a lot of sleep. Not a lot of anything- just 'busy' work around here.

Lawns are done for a little while, at best. They really need the blades on the mower dropped all the way down, and soon too. But apples and pears need to be removed first.

Christmas *sigh*, (and hopefully that means Springtime too) will not be far off.
I need to keep my sewing machine fired up, but for anyone contemplating gift purchases online, this site lists a ton of popular stores that will ship free IF you have their free shipping code.
Codes can be found here. (You can thank me for the link by sending a gift)! hehehe

Gifts?
I have decided that I would LOVE a copy of the New Oxford American Dictionary!  It has over 2,000 new words and phrases, including "vuvuzela," "microblogging," "staycation" and "turducken" ...
New definitions, new entries, new subordinate entries, the list goes on...
Just dreaming.

Waking up now, and regarding my recent "People are Different" blog:  I rest my case Mz. Doubtfire.  If you wish to hold hatred in your heart for "the least of your brothers", for WHATEVER reason, that is your choice to make.
For everyone else, an apt quote from my top page this morning:
"Enthusiasm is contagious. Be a carrier." S. Rabin

Incidentally, if anyone missed my own point of view, hatred is not my choice. Though admittedly, there are a few people I could live happily without, I do not hate people. (Nor am I that freakin' paranoid)! hehehe

Politically speaking- I have noticed that the Republican ads on TV seem to all reiterate the conservative angle. "I am a conservative." Or, "I am running for the conservative party." 
Newsflash people, we really DO know that republican is conservative, and vice~versa.  (And we really CAN read the fine print at the bottom of your ads that say, "paid for by the republican party").
The American voters are not that dumb!
For those that are that basically choosing to be mentally deficient or challenged,  ignorant people will elect dark candidates.
You cannot 'tidy up' the ugly party by painting it a new color.
     After all, "a rose by any other name..."


Back to Flintville... happily-

Kelli and I had gone in search of Chris Jaworski for horse hay.
He was not at home.

Somebody once said, "you can't go home again."   I beg to differ.
See, Chris was at home. (My old home that is). hehehe
I had spotted his car as we drove past-


Home on Jaworski


Closer up-

And in the barn-

Kelli, and Chris Jaworski, in the barn
No he is not holding it up! hehehe


And walking toward the very first home built on the property...

The ORIGINAL 2 room house on the property


My pictures didn't turn out well at all because the sun was near to setting as I took them.
My apologies. We will have to go back at sunrise or high noon.


All the trees you see below I planted! The girls and I carried buckets and buckets of rainwater out there the first two years too.
Most lived too!

Birch and Mulberry
Birch and Mulberry
I actually stole handfuls of mulberries off the trees when I walked back there! Mmmm...

Colorado blue spruce.

Mom had given us 4 Blue Spruce when we moved in. (One for each of my girls).


Blue spruce
Only this one survived.


Then there's the zillion red cedars.
Prickly things- Rabbits LOVE to hide in them!

Row of Red Cedars
Planted as a windbreak, to the NE of the house



All the trees you see, I planted
Notice the fence between the 2 homes, effectively cutting off [some] problems with the neighbors from hell.
Chris informed us that our killer neighbor goes back to court on September 1st.
(I hope they throw the book at him).

Nuff said.  Besides, my eyes are crossed from reading, and thinking, and....

Have a 'wunnaful' day!

XOXO
