Etta
Etta had a treadmill accident. This was the result. At
School they are doing health and fitness. The safety
clip came off of her clothes instead of the machine.

Family Portraits
Oh Crap
Etta and I were looking around on the welcome screen earlier this afternoon and there was a story about up coming nail trends. They were showing different pics of nail art and decals for artificial nails as well as full nails with the art on them that you can buy at drug stores. Knowing she cannot get acrylics, she asked for the fancy, already done nails. The ones she wanted had little skulls on them. I said sure, thinking I would never find them at KMart which was where I was headed anyway. Well, low and behold, they had them. Ok. I already said yes. So, we get home and shes all excited. I go to put the first one on. Now, you know, its amazing what can happen in 1 second. We have all the nails out, ready to put them on. Etta, i think, knocks them around, yanks her hand out of mine, the nail with glue comes loose, begins to fall on my kitchen table, i catch it with my right index finger. The nail is stuck to my finger and i realize the glue is on it, i go to pull it off and cant. Now, my thumb and index finger of my left hand is stuck to my right. Now all this was in like 1.5 seconds. LOL. So, now, here i am with my fingers glued together, Etta is laughing like a loon, and I have to tell Tom he needs to drive to the store for me. Oh lord. Bless his heart he just shook his head and asked me what i needed. Obviously, i am unglued, Etta has her nails, and Tom gets a big kiss. Everyone is happy.

I am sooooo ready for Spring. I know it is not even
February yet, and I'm certain we are going to get
more snow, but I want my gardens back. I can't wait
to plant my corn, tomatoes, melons, beans, and
peppers. I can't wait to see my bulbs bloom, all the
annuals that add so much pretty color. I want my
hands in the soil and watch the things I put into the
Earth grow. I love the fresh veggies we can have at
dinner, the fresh corn, I pick myself, from the garden
to make for a cookout. The fresh cut flowers that I
bring in the beautify my kitchen and make my home
smell like spring. I want to plant a larger variety in
the veggie garden this year so I have more to freeze
and can. The problem last year was that we ran out.
I wanted to put enough by for the winter, but we love
the fresh veggies so much we ate them every day.
We did have a lot of tomatoes which we gave to
friends and neighbors. I made several jars of pasta
sauce and salsa. I never realize how any tomatoes
it takes to make a pint of salsa. Wow. I set up to make
8 jars and ended up with four. Well, next year will be
better.
