Happenings in our neck of the woods

I've been trying to get this post out for two days now.. eek..
I worked 4 10's last week to have Friday off to spend with my Dad who came for a visit.

The visit was waaaay to short, with him arriving on Friday evening and departing early Sunday afternoon. We absolutely loved having him here! His 69th Birthday was on Saturday too, this was the first Birthday of his, that I had spent with him in probably better than 25 years. We made a cake and had all the birthday fun including a bonfire that night. He was even able to go to Caden's first football game of the season as well - which really thrilled Caden!

Chyann woke up to a lovely mouse present that her kitties brought up to her room from the basement yesterday morning.

I had a fire in the oven last night. The element must have blown and caught fire burning all the way around it. Was scary.

The bearing in my dryer is going out too. It squeals like crazy when I run it..

Tentative deployment home to work is the 13th of October!! so exciting :)

Was able to save most of the tomato's in the garden from the hard frost last week = more tomato work come this weekend. Need to come up with some new tomato ideas. Do you have any?

Also good news is that my Mom and Gerry are coming for a visit next weekend! We are most excited to see them too!!

All else is well - Happy Hump day!
