{Whats been going on around here}




We've been busy of late, so I haven't had time to blog or even e-mail much. We had a garage sale Friday and Saturday. Friday we had a good day, got rid of a lot of stuff. YOu should of seen how much STUFF! A lot of stuff was from when my Great Grandma died.
Saturday, however, there was a 20% chance of rain that morning, so of course, it JUST HAD to rain. Fortunately, it didn't rain too long. But we still have a lot of stuff left, so I asked mom if I could do the garage sale again next Saturday, and we are.
We also got a new dog, although it was two weeks ago. She is a chocolate lab, 4 years old, and the calmest dog you'll ever see. We got her for free, a lady my aunt knew was moving to Florida, and she couldn't take her with her. Oh, by the way, the dog's name is Sheeba. We had for a little bit considered changing her name to "Lil' Ann," off the movie, Where The Red Fern Grows, but we ended up calling her Sheeba. She is attached to Olivia. No wonder. Olivia is an animal lover. She wants to be an animal police and I'm not sure that will change.
I'll tell you a little bit about Olivia, now. At our house, we have a Toad Town. Literally. There are tons of toads at our house! (Outside, of course...) And she has most all of them named. And you'll never guess who after. Not after her family, or favorite movies, or books, or even after the puppies we used to have; nope- after the Duggar Family. Yes, that's right- we have Jana, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Jennifer, Josiah, and I think John-David. She knows them all by name. She'll show me a toad and say, "This is Jana!" and I'll be like "How do you know?" and it's usually something like this: "Well she has this weird bump here," "or this one's really dark" etc. The Duggars are SO cool that there are TOADS BEING NAMED AFTER THEM!!! HOW COOL!!!!=)
(Hope I made you laugh)
Anyway, please pray for my Grandpa. His knee is swollen and hurts so bad that he can hardly walk, and he'll probably have to have surgery. I didn't know this until today.
Also, pray for this lady named Janet. She rides her bike like crazy in our neighborhood, and we see her all the time. She gives treats to dogs. Anyway, She found out that her cancer returned after seventeen years. She asked us if we were a praying family and when we said yes, she told us she had cancer. We gave her our books called The Cancer Battle Plan, by David Frahm.
Well, I just started typing and this is what came out! Until Next time...
