So yesterday I was home alone after Jeremy headed of to work. I heard this noise that sounded kind of like something falling off of a shelf. Knowing how naughty my beagle can be and knowing that he had recently been in the bedroom I figured that he had dislodged something and it had picked this moment to come crashing down. So I went in the bedroom but found nothing out of place. Then there came the big crash and honestly I was a little on the freaking out side. Because now that I was back in the back of the house I could tell it was coming from the spare bedroom and I had no idea why there would be anything crashing in there. As I'm sure my friends can imagine the worst was going through my head. I was thinking of this scary theif coming in the window and being ready to hurt me. So I opened the door and found not a scary man but a hole in our ceiling. Which was almost as bad. So apparently we had a leak in our roof which made our sheet rock and insulation wet and it caved in. Were it not for the tar paper under our shingles we could see day light because the roof boards are seperating. In the next few days the insurance adjuster will come and then deside what needs to be done. For now I'm keeping the door shut and trying not to stress out about it. Jeremy came home from work when I found the hole and helped me to make sure it wasn't likely to spread any farther. Hopefully no more rain for a while so that we can keep our insulation dry and our hole the same size.
There really isn't anything else major going on in our lives right now. I went to my sisters open house on Saturday and it was nice. Her husbands immediate family all came and my family was all there. My mom did a really nice job on getting every thing pulled together! It was beautiful. I also picked up the beef we bought from Dev and Becky and we are so happy to have it. We are going to have rib eye steaks for supper tomorrow night. I can't wait.
Ok, now that I have bored everyone with the mundane details I'm going to bed because I'm an old lady and I get tired early and I had a long day at work.
Happy Summer Solstice Everyone!!!!

May....what a month!
So I have totally slacked off over this month, at least on blogging. First of all we painted the second half of our kitchen and will be putting up all the trim hopefully this week some time. For those of you who I haven't bombarded with information about my kitchen that I am so excited about we painted the dining room half blue. Now a few weeks ago we painted the kitchen side a nice buttercup yellow. All the trim is white and it looks so good. I can't wait for it all to be done. I am hoping to sand and paint the cupboards within the next few weeks and then everything will be done in that room and I can move on to the next room.
We have also been working hard in our yard. The road ran through the yard at one time so we have been pampering some grass seed so that we can have more then weeds in our front yard. We have little tufts of grass coming up now and we are very hopeful that they will grow up to be a strong healthy yard of grass. Because of the road issue we also have a gutter running through our yard. Jeremy did lots of hard work on removing it on Saturday but we still have so much to do. But it wasn't just Jeremy, I was also weilding the sledge hammer and busting up my fair share of concrete.
And more concrete removal has been taking place in our front yard. Our sidewalk is really busted up so I have decided to remove it and replace it with stepping stones and stepables. I have a plan in my mind as to what its all going to look like and its going to be great. Besides that it gives me a project to work on that motivates me and keeps me outside. Which is a good thing because most recently the doctor told me it would be good for me to get lots of sun as long as I wear sun screen. And it feels good to have a project that I am excited about. I also have the garden started. I will be planting the corn on Wednesday and then everything will be in and hopefully headed toward a very plentiful harvest.
OK, so I'm sure I have missed lots of information but I just can't think of anything else that is worth your reading. And hopefully this month I will remember to write more then once at the end of the month.
