Alright, it's time to get back to work! Break time has lasted a good seven months! Ron Paul seriously got in the way of this blog! We took a break from blogging, due to the serious and time-consuming nature of the Michigan and Ohio primary elections. Then, when I was just getting up to speed on the political front (after 45 years of la-la land) I burned my left hand quite badly. I couldn't type with my left hand for several days, then I could literally peck at the keys, then finally, after a few weeks, the bandages came off, and I was free to do as I pleased, hindered only by the occasional latex glove I used to keep the moisturizing oil on my hand, and off the keyboard, papers, my face, and everything else I touched.
Now that I don't spend as much time keeping track of Ron Paul and his "wacky" supporters, I might have time to do some interesting things around here! Kaitlyn, Emily and I have started "square foot gardening" . We also have entertained the idea of getting chickens to raise for food. The trim on our house needs painting, so I need to build/rent scaffolding to somehow scale the side of our house.
With gas prices so high, I have re-arranged our trips to town to only once a week, and being more scheduled has been challenging for me. I've been thinking of joining my sister Deb in a venture to make a little money on the side by starting a business called "Edith Jewel", and my first attempt was hand-made purses/bags. Emily jumped on the bandwagon with me, and we have since created four bags. Haven't sold any, but that's another day's work!
Things are always lively around here. One day last week, we had the pleasure of keeping Dylan, Dee's newest family member, a sweet two-year-old who is staying with them for a bit. Fun, fun, fun! I love showing little kids new things, like kittens, chocolate pudding, and fishies in the pond.
And speaking of kittens, I have to give our kittens some medicine, then take Emily to work. Never a dull moment!
