fall for ewe swap Q & A

What meals or foods mean ‘Fall’ to you? Fall to me means chess pie ,i make , and ham that i mom bakes at Thanksgiving . I am not a 'turkey 'person , i will eat some but not a lot . i cook the turkey for our families . hubs and i have our parents and siblings over for Thanksgiving every year . My mom and I do most of the cooking and we eat around 6 . i volunteered for this project every year because i hate to have to please everyone by going to their house for their dinner and in the end someone ends up with hurt feelings . if hubs and i host and have it later everyone else can go where they need and i will have to be home cooking . works for me everytime .

oh wow ! it's been a while ! my last ppost was over a week ago , better get in gear the mods will have my hide . nothing exciting this week . nathan had his first f'ball game on sat (9/20) and his team won . the coach handed out the schedule and i have noticed the kids are playing games on sunday !? what's up w/ that ? i must say i am not liking that one bit . sunday is MY day to catch up on crocheting and plan the week ahead . my washing machine is about to die !!! i called where we bought and we got the extended warrenty on the washer upon purchase ,we never buy the extended warrenty . anyway the washer worker came out and said the transmittion was about to croak ... great !! i am still using the washer but waiting on the part to come in and washer worker to come fix it . today would be good for me . the washer sounds like a chainsaw when it is running . i think nathan has an ear infection . he is complaining , more than usual , about his ear hurting . our reg dr is out right now , new baby, and will not be back until mid oct . i will have to take nathan to a walk -in clinic . i will be glad when our reg dr comes back .

dad is home from vandy and doing well . i have mailed my falling for ewe package , sure hope she likes it . i got mine from my swapper and i got a cool afghan book , that i love . she also sent me some very pretty fallish colored yarn love that too . i will love it a lot more when i figure out what to crochet with it . i am thinking about a scarf . i might do the same as i done with the yarn from summer of love swap . i am crocheting an afghan for myself right now w/ the yarn that i got from summer love . i will have to put some pix of it up when i'm finished but at the rate i'm going i might have it done sometime in 2009 !! nathan ran across a bully at football practice thursday night . the bully knocked nate down, pulled his helmet and then cleeted him in the side . i know it's football and f'ball is rough but there is no reason for the kid to be a jerk like that . i have always taught my boys to NEVER start trouble and to walk away . this bulling b/s is all new to me and i'm not liking it one bit . i feel helpless cause i dont know what to say to nathan to help him understand that this kid is a jerk . secretly , i think i want nathan to beat the shit out of the kid and then maybe he won't bully nathan or anyone else but i also know that is not the right message to send to nathan . nickolas is still loving the swim team .
