My darling daughter gives credit to my sister type person for bringing us somewhat back together...
I am not so sure that is what happened exactly...but, if she chooses to think that then that's cool.  whatever it is I am glad that she is a part of our lives and brings Halo over to see us.

speaking of my sister type person, We no longer have any contact with her, I would pretend to be shocked and surprised by this but, I am sad to say I am not as she is very much like our mother in that respect.  So if you don't mind keep her in your prayers as she has issues that are so beyond the Hodgkins Lymphoma that she SHOULD be getting treatment for now but, again, I have no contact with her so really don't know.  I have decided for me, and I may have spoken of this before if so sorry but here it is again,  I forgive you Lori, I am so very sad for you and I pray for you.   I pray that someday you understand, that where ever you go there you are.   and I really pray that you are not one of those unfortunates who are not able to grasp and develop a manor of living that requires rigorous honesty.... trust me on this one... the truth is SO MUCH EASIER.

Martha Jean sent me some pics as my camera is not working properly except when it wants to.. which appears to be not often... :( 

so just to clarify I did not take the following pictures Martha Jean did ;) 

Halo posing she loves her toes and playing with them plus she is just so darn cute when doing so

 Halo and grandma playing in the van waiting on mommy to get stuff gathered up....

 finally we both looked at the same time, had our eyes open and smiles too... :) 

 I made bbq chicken that night... Halo LOVED that bone... it had tons of flavor

 Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm or in her words...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 and she snuck a pic that's actually a really good pic of Halo with her father...

I am gearing up to go to the grocery store... before the rain comes it is supposed to get here this afternoon and stay for several days... we need it badly so I refuse to complain I just hope we don't get flooding like so many south and west of us have....
we are still having issues from the lightening storm of the first week if August, my modem on the desktop is fried, the cable modem works sometimes, two OLD tvs and vcrs are dead, the ice maker has been replaced the UV light in the fish pond still wont work even after replacing the bulb and having the transformer re wired....HATE dealing with the UV lights as they are so darn expensive and it seems that when ever a bulb goes the whole dang set up goes with it... we have three dead sets out there in the yard now... granted when they work they are worth it but, the  hassle and baloney that goes into it all is a real pain and there appears to be a monopoly on where you can get them so they can jack the price as high as they want.... grrrrr
the switch on the pool pump burned up as well so Michael removed it... we have truly been amazed at how cool this little pool has stayed even in 100 plus degree heat the water feels downright cold most of the time.

well I really must get off here and do what I need to get done.... :) happy Sunday to you all and God Bless you :)
