Six Word Saturday

A Sweet Yellow Succulent Blossom Surprise

     After another Saturday of working down at the trailer, I came home and was looking through the sun room window.  Now this is something I try to do once a day.  I always look at my succulents in the sun room, but I have found that going outside and looking from the outside in, I often find new treasures.

     Well, today was one of those days.  I almost missed it.  I thought that I had saw a little yellow and I went back and looked and yes.  There it was,  tiny, but there.  My plants can make me so happy.  Sometimes, I think I should just let my Mandy have all my plants.  She does so well with them.  But then they make me smile and I realize that without them, I would need something else.

I am not sure what this little plant is, but I am sure my Mandy would.  Should we ask her?

    One would ask, how can a little plant make one smile?  I don't really know, it just does.  So if you need a smile, you might give those little succulents a try.  I started with the little baby butts ( called lithrops) and little toes.  But beware, they can be addicting.

A PRODUCTIVE DAY AT THE TRAILER


Today, my husband and I spent the entire day working on a trailer that we are getting ready for Payton to move into.  We started about 9 in the morning and finished up about 6.  Husband worked on repairing the back door, where termites have had a field day.  Those little creatures can really destroy.  Where do they put it all?  They are so small, you would not imagine how much they eat.

paint looks so much better than panelling

While husband was working on the outside, I was putting the carpet down in the main bedroom.  I found a great deal at a yard sale awhile back.  They are the carpet squares and the are so easy to put down.  And the total cost was only $15.00.  Can you beat that?  So after the floor, I finished the bath wall.  The walls were fairly bad, so I took tissue paper and wallpapered the walls.  Looks great.  Then on to the main bedroom, where I hung the blinds and put the curtains up.  I need to hem them, but they will do.

On to the kitchen, where I took off the bottom cabinet doors and finished painting the cabinets black.  The bottom will be a china red.  That is after I get the facing replaced and doors.  I would have pictures to post, but my little pita(My 14, almost 15 year old daughter) took off with my camera.

Payton loves the Saints

All in all, the day was a success.  Now on to tomorrow.

Describe Your Life In Six Words

I just found this blog tonight, and I thought why not.

Up,Down,Turn Around, Sit Down!  This is the way that I feel my life is right now.

My husband's mother lives with us and some days it takes all the patience that I can muster up.  She really is a dear.  I was blessed with a great mother-in-law.  I just had to learn how to deal with her.  She is full Hungarian, short in stature and full of advice.

Now at almost 91, she has Alzheimer's.  Some days go as normal, but most days are like my six words, up, down, turn around, sit down.  There is never a dull moment, especially when the teenage girls are home from school.  You never know what year she is in.  Lately, she has been calling me "the nice lady".  Also, it is requiring me to stay home.  She does not like to be alone and during the night, she may get up a number of times.  This is just to check and make sure that I have not gone home.  Not that I don't live here.  So now I have my very own daybed in the living room.  If I convince one of the girls to sleep downstairs, I will sneak up stairs and sleep with hubby.  It is good that we have a solid marriage and he is understanding.  But then he should, since it is his mother.  I just keep remembering that one day I will be old and the way that I treat her, will one day be the way I am treated.  Believe me though, without God as the core of my life, I could not do this.  It is only through His grace.
