Heading off to Hamburg

One more day of work, a dentist appointment, last minute packing and I'm off to Hamburg to visit my mom and sister! I did most of my packing today - because tomorrow will be so busy....but on Tuesday I'm free as a bird! Looking forward to a wonderful week with lots of time to visit! Prayers for safety on the road will be much appreciated - this is one of the first times I've driven up by myself...but I love driving my Saturn Ion - so I'm looking forward to the trip.
I'll post some pictures when I get there!

Busy weekend

Still canning - salsa and pizza sauce this weekend. I think I've finally figured out how to get the church's accounting software to work correctly - so there is hope that we can finally start our new ministry year on the right foot. My cell phone finally died after 8 years! So I have a new red samsung. Is it just me, or do you just hate having to learn how to work a new phone? It will take awhile to get used to - but it does have features that my "dinosaur" didn't have.
Still cleaning up tree limbs from last week's wind storm - but at least our electricity is back on...5 days without it was beginning to get old quickly! We are pretty spoiled!
Heroes starts back up tomorrow and of course right at the same time as Dancing with the Stars....I think I'll watch Heroes.
Have a great week everyone!

Toothache

Owwwww! Getting closer to the end of my tooth dilemma but not quite done. Long 3 hour appt with dentist on Tuesday - yesterday wasn't too bad - but last night and today I am really hurting - the dentist warned me that he was bruising alot of my gums.
So, hopefully this is the last day of pain. My new crown won't be ready for 3 weeks.
It is so tender that I still cannot chew anything. I'm getting really tired of yogurt.
Well, we are having more beautiful fall weather so I'd better take some tylenol and get outside.
Here's a picture of One of my flowers:

Busy....Busy

The end of August is the end of our fiscal year at work - so as you can imagine - I've been very busy closing the books and getting the new budget in place...right as my tomatoes are needing lots of attention! So not much time for computer stuff. But thought I'd better check in with everyone. Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend and have gotten the little ones back in school. It's strange to not be getting anyone ready for school - no lunches to pack - hard to believe that stage of life is over!
One of these days I'm going to get my vacation pictures posted, but looks like it'll be a few more weeks.
Here's one more for you:
