Yeah right! I am taking 2 yes count them 2 online classes this summer. I am feeling a little stressed to say the least. Bright spot though is that we are going to Branson Mo tomorrow night. Should be fun. We are going to the Dixie Stampede and Ripley's Believe it or Not!!
Then this weekend is the Rorie family reunion. I can't wait to see everyone. Should be a good time to be had for all.
I will have to post some wonderful family pictures when I return.

Have a great day! r

Life in general...
Life goes on doesn't it, even when it doesn't very good. Ahhhh!
My cat is sitting here right, I mean right next to my laptop. She has her back leg stretched out and cleaning/licking, she is going farther down. It is amazing how they can move around. Ok now she is sitting up and cleaning her tail. What a life. Now the feet, hmmmm. Interesting life I have, right??
I am in the process of writing my final paper for this semester. But my mind is wandering, I can't seem to concentrate....
I think by this time next year I should be close to done. I just keep counting the credit hours, they are ticking away, just not fast enough.
On a lighter note we have put a garden in this year. 16 pepper plants, 13 tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, radishes and kale. Yep kale, thought we would try it this year. I have about a row left to add more plants, thought it could be my exotic row, you know broccoli, cauliflower, bokchoy, eggplant. You know them there foreign plants :-)
Well need to scoot, Later and love to all!!

Fall is here!
Fall is my favorite time of year. Cool days, changing leaves, kids back to school, pumpkins, trick or treating, lots of candy, walking and enjoying what God has made around us.
Yesterday I went for a walk and in the forest behind the college I did some yoga. I love yoga, it is so relaxing. For years I have been bouncing around now I just want to relax. Who knew!

Pictures of Kayl
Walking in the mountains of Colorado and becoming a "Maji Wizard at the Great Wolf Lodge"
It's time to blog once again!
Well the summer has come and gone. It was very eventful. Alex and family came to Kansas to visit. We had a great time. They stayed about a month, but the time went by so fast. It seems like we just didn't to get everything done that we wanted to do.
I have started my classes once again, in fact I should be doing my homework, but I got started on this blogger thing. Everything was changed, but I finally got it figured out. Guess I need to post some picture from the summer and the adventures of Kayl our grandson. He stayed another 6 weeks after him family went home to Washington. We have a wonderful time. Wish it didn't have to end.
Well hope everyone has a terrific day! Take care and love ya all!!

It's Summer
Hello out there,
I had forgotten my password for awhile. But I finally figured out the magical manuevers.... so I am back.
Summer must be here, two days ago I saw my first firefly. I always have memories that flood my mind when I see the first one. When I was a young girl in Colorado I always missed fireflys, since they do not habitat the Colorado mountains. I remembered visiting my relatives in MO and ARK and how we always had fun catching the beautiful flying lights and sticking them to our fingers and neck and wrist to make beutiful jewelry.
Now that I think about it, maybe that wasn't such a great idea! But catching them and putting them in a jar and seeing them at night in your bedroom was always fun. Oh well!
Hope all is well in your part of your world, Take care and God bless!

Classes again
Well classes start again on Monday. Busy time in the library getting ready. Every year there always seems to be projects and new technology that must get done. This year it is persistant links for articles on online databases. Don't ask!!
This summer has gone by too fast. I have many great memories. I enjoyed my granddaughters stay. Even though I was worn out by the time she left. Not as young as I used to be.
It has been a HOT summer! Can't wait till fall, nice cool days, falling leaves, shorter days. AHHHH!
We had a great time at the Rorie reunion in St. Louis. Next year it is in Colorado. Can't wait. Hopefully oldest grandson will be here.
Well hope all is well in your part of the country. Take care and enjoy, r

I am mobile!!
Guess what??
I am not hooked up to any cords!! Woo hoo!
My cable modem died and so I had to buy another one, so I thought I might as well go wireless while I am at it. So here I sit in my living room.....now the bedroom. Oh no Bob is snoring, not a good idea.....let's try the bathroom. All righty then, I am good to go. I guess I could try outside, but it is like about a 100 degrees out there. I might try later this fall.
Well class is over for the summer and I got an A-, I was really surprised. Only 17 classes to go. ARRRGGG!!!
Marsha is back in Okinawa. I am having withdrawals. I want to stop at the end of the road and let her drive. She was getting pretty good before she left. She even wanted to back up the car in the driveway. She is so brave. When I was young I would've hated to do that and she volunteered. What a girl!!
I did finish "In the Presence of my Enemies", it is a good book. As I read I kept thinking about how the Burnhams befriend their captors. What a testimony they are. Gracia is coming to speak here in El Dorado this September, I am glad that I read her memoirs.
But I think I am now ready to read something light.
Well got to go and make supper. Fun stuff! What to do? What to do?

Oh no I have been spammed!
When I opened my e-mail this morning I had 77 comments, yes! 77. All righty then, it pops in my mind “I don't have 77 friends.” Maybe 7!
So I became suspicious. I started opening them and they are all the same from anonymous. Hmmmm:-)
So I have added the “You have to type in the weird letters to make a comment.” I suppose this brings down the friend ratio to 3. Oh well. Better than none, Right?? Come on friends speak up!!
In the mean time, (is that how it is spelled?), I have finished “Memoirs of a Geisha” It was a good read, only drawback, is that I was a little turned off about the part when the focus of the book was the bartering of a young girls virginity. Accck!! Of course, it has a happy ending, considering the circumstances. Now I am ready to see the movie, except now I know how it ends.
New late night reading is “In the Presence of my Enemies.” I have a personal reason for reading this one (might have to do with the oldest son) One good addendum to this read is that Gracia Burham is going to speak here in El Dorado in Sept. I am looking forward to this.
Well hope all is well wherever you are. Love to All!!

Sniff! It's over
Well vacation is over, back to work tomorrow. I must admit this has been one of the most relaxing vacations we have had. We usually are roofing, cementing, building sheds or shops, or something. This vacation was just refreshing. I think we needed it.
On Friday we did go and see X-Men III, heads up if you see it make sure and stay till the end of the credits you will get a big suprise!! We were lucky the girl at the ticket booth told us to make sure and stay, Thank you!! I must admit it was hard to sit and wait, we had just drunk the extra large pop.
Yesterday we went to an after wedding bbq at R & B's, we had a great time and equally great food. Yummy. Even latija and pie (again) what a week. Congratulations C & T.
My accomplishments during vacation,
1. finished Whisker of Evil and most of Sour Puss, by Rita Mae Brown.
2. Washed curtains and windows downstairs ( need to the do the upstairs now, guess I need another vacation)
3. watched "Bride and Prejudice" and "Pride and Prejudice" with Colin Firth, Hubba! Hubba! (4 1/2 hours long) Need I say more.
4. Did a lot of channel surfing, not sure why if we have over 70 channels there is nothing to watch!
Enough said!
But it is in writing now.

Rest of Vacation
Second day same as the first. No, not really I did actually wash all of the curtains and the windows. Whew!! What fun!
Third day: We actually did something fun! I wanted to go to Yoder Kansas and eat PIE! The Carriage Crossing in Yoder makes the best pies. I wanted Bob to go and see what he thought. But when we got to Yoder it was too early to eat, so I said lets go and check out the Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson. Bob said yes, big surprise to me. So off we went to Hutchinson. When we got there we found out we could go to 1 Imax show, 1 Planetarium, 1 Dr. Goddard show and the Museum for one low price of only $13. each. The Imax show was the "Mystery of the Nile", it was really interesting. The screen is giant and overwhelming. The river scene was so realistic I wish I would have taken dramamine. All in all we had a great time, and learned quite a bit about the history of space travel. Once we were done then off to Yoder we went. Supper was fantastic and for dessert we had the pie, Bob had chocolate cream and I had coconut cream, Yum Yum.
I think we had a great third day of our vacation.

Vacation??
Bob decided to take off this week for a small vacation. Ok, it is one of those "we stay at home and work around house vacations." Not usually fun but usually profitable, hmmmm. Then if we don't accomplish anything everyday then the guilt sets in. First day: lay around house, then sit around and feel bad about it. We really need to overcome this. I guess we will see what today brings!
