I Told You So

Did I not tell you to be careful when driving. 4 days, 4 days after getting his licence Jon-Paul has totaled the van. That has got to be some kind of record.

Now it Was Not His Fault. He was rear ended when waiting to turn into our housing division. Everyone is OK. The van is not.

I was out front giving the shrubs a hair cut when Naomi comes dashing down the street towards the house with a look of panic on her face calling for Mom. They we're in an accident and everyone was OK. We rushed down there. Naomi had been sent to get Mom because they did not have a working cell with them and Jon-Paul being the driver could not leave the car.

So sometime in the near future we will be getting ourselves a new fuel efficient car.

Warning, teenage drivers

After gathering all the needed paperwork Jon-Paul has at last, his drivers license. So I suggest that you be careful while on the road.

Garden Greens

This is what I got from the garden in the way of the mixed greens that I planted. Not much. Mom used them in the salad for dinner and they ended up being very bitter, at least to my taste.

Happy (Late) Birthday

Jon-Paul's birthday was on the 11th. Happy Birthday. This is the jacket that I made for him. It is suede that I got at OHCO (a fabric store that sometimes sells fabric by the pound insted of the yard) for a VERY good price. The jacket is a little bit big (I was unsure exactly how the pattern would compare, and I figured to big is better than to small) but that just leaves room for a sweater underneath when the cold really sets in.

More Bugs

One morning, we wake up to find an army of ants trooping through our kitchen. One platoon marching all the way around the kitchen ceiling (what they wanted on the ceiling only they know) and another making a bee line (or maybe it was an ant line) for the raisin bran. Jon-Paul tracked this line down and found that another had beat him to it. We then commenced to remove this hunter and attempted to move the hunted out of our house.

Infestation

Our PC had become infested with viruses. Mostly due to games as I was told. So I have been unable to blog for some time. I have lots to tell, and I'm not going to try and tell it backwards so you will just have bear with me.

Bugs

You can find some STRANGE bugs in Georgia. Some kind of caterpillar/grasshopper/centipede thing hiding in the down stairs bathroom.
