On Saturday we went to my Uncle’s farm to pick pumpkins! It was fun. Aunt Judy, Aunt Sue and Uncle Dan, my siblings and their families were there. We had lunch then picked out pumpkins. I can’t wait to carve them and eat the seeds.
Tea Party
Yesterday April came over for a visit and we went to a tea party!
My mom and aunt were supposed to come with us but bailed literally the day before. They missed out though! I figured it would be older ladies attending and I was right. There was one older lady that was awesome. I figured she traveled all around the world. She told interesting stories about places she has been drinking tea. Even drinking tea as a kid as well. She was very cool!
What wasn’t cool is one of the ladies that was disrespectful the whole time. The class cost 10 dollars and it was to learn about different teas and how to make tea. We also got a gift bag. I thought it was worth the 10 dollars per person. This lady even asked why it costed so much? Really?! She was rude! However we had a great time and learned about tea. The instructor had fancy hats and gloves to wear. We each got a different saucer and cup to take home along with different teas to try.
Tex was a pretty good puppy when April came. She wanted a pic of her and him. Of course Tex wouldn’t stay still.
Tex now weighs 20 pounds. When April sees Tex again she won’t be able to hold him.
Happy Annivesary
September 15 Jeff and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary. It was fun! We went out for steak (of course) and it was yummy! Then we indulged in some really yummy chocolate from Seroogy’s.
After that just a relaxing day. Wow 11 years! Yay!
It was really hot on Saturday so we took out the kiddie pool for Tex. I also bathed him too.
Tex likes to be in the kitchen he tried to help me unload the dishwhaser. Lol!

Last Sunday September 9th was my mom’s birthday. It was way dumb. First of all my dad and the guys (Andy and Uncle Dave) sat inside the house to watch football. I thought that was dumb because it was very nice outside and it was my mom’s birthday. What really irritated me was, Jeff and I said we were going to bring drinks. So what does my sister in law do? She brings Bloody Mary’s to the party. We went out of our way to get beer for everyone and no one drank any. I was so mad! Never again will we spend that much for drinks. Usually that beer would be gone in an afternoon. Yet again foiled by my sister in law. The whole party was just dumb. The kids were all over the place being brats. No one was doing anything about that.
However (hee hee) I made my mom a cross stitch strawberries and Jeff framed it. I just love seeing the reactions of my siblings when I do these things. Insert evil laugh here. Also I like making things for my parents. But still some evil fun makes it!
Puppy Land
I now live in puppy land. It’s terrible and wonderful at the same time.
What’s terrible puppy biting and lots of OWIE!!! OUCH!! and swear words thrown in the mix also blood. Note to self keep a stock of band aids on hand. I feel bad for Scotty. I know for sure he likes other dogs so getting puppy shouldn’t be any different. And he has met young dogs before and wanted to play with them. But as soon as Tex came home he didn’t want anything do with him.
What’s wonderful puppy! He is super cute. Even though Scotty didn’t like him he is starting to come around in the same room as Tex. I taught Tex to sit in less than two days. Now he sits for everything. lol! He always has his leash on when not in his area and now I can let it go when he does his business. Still working on communication of when he has to go.
We can sleep for a whole night! Tex goes to sleep about 8 and I take him out at 11. Then he doesn’t have to go till I wake up. I usually wake up in the middle of the night anyways and I let him out. Then he doesn’t have to go till about 6:30 that is when Jeff gets up to get ready for work. He has been good on not peeing in the house. But pooping has been a whole other story. Working process.
Now adorable pics of Tex:
Tex got his first shots at the vet. Of course he was a hit. Everyone saying how cute he was! On the way home this is how he slept. He’s too funny.

WHOOOOO what a weekend! I am tired. lol!
Friday I drove to April’s house to spend the night. We had fun. We went for coffee and breakfast at our usual spot Tera Verde. Afterwards we went to the Calumet County Fair which oddly opens up at 8 A.M. It was nice because I got to see where to park. I am always worried about that as I hate parallel parking and tight areas. As I am not the greatest parker in the truck. We walked around the fair grounds. We saw some cool animals:
Funny story: We are walking around the fair and we come up to this stand where this guy is selling fudge. April says “I know how to make fudge. It’s easy.” The guy was giving her a mad looks. As we left I couldn’t stop laughing! Later April said she wish she didn’t say that right there. Oh my it’s always a story with April. That one is funny!
Saturday April and I had to be at the fair at 8 A.M. for her show. I was surprised Linda (April’s mom) and Mike (April’s younger brother) came along. I didn’t think they would actually show up. It was great that they were there for her as well.
On this day it was like 80F. So April was super hot in this outfit.
April took second. She was really nervous but I think she did great. She tried and that is awesome!
Sunday Tex came home!
Monday was Labor Day and my parents, Ken and Milena, Kathy and Dave, Chrissy and family came over. To see Tex. We had lunch and everyone played with him. They also brought toys and cleaning supplies. Lol! We weren’t expecting anything but it was very nice of everyone! So far so good. Even though not a whole of sleep going on for us. Also Scotty doesn’t really like him but I think he eventually will.

Today is Jeff’s bday and he has to work today.
Nothing really going on last week. Except for one thing that did bother me. I think this is just so petty. My niece Bree started a FB messenger group chat with all her aunt’s and uncles. I thought it was so cool! There is always someone who is an ass right?! One of Bree’s uncle’s left the chat after I just said “hello Bree!” and a cute emoji to follow. It’s because only my sister and I share a mom but not a dad. So what, this is Bree she is 8 and she wanted to say hi to all her family. What an ass right. There is always one. That just bothered me. They were talking about getting together with her that night. Jeff and I don’t care about that stuff. Talk all you want we didn’t have hurt feelings. We were excited to see Bree on messenger she is a funny little girl.
Anyways this weekend is when the fun happens, Friday I am going to hangout with April. Saturday she is in her first horse competition. I am excited to see her go for it. Sunday we get Tex!

Nothing really happening last week. Jeff worked on the car as it needed new brakes. I helped him when he needed but that’s it really.
I did finish my mom’s birthday present:
The kit didn’t come with enough flower buttons. Good thing I keep extras from other projects. I had a dragonfly button and added it where a flower button would go.
Started reading a new app. I know! I know! I am addicted. I started reading in the app Lovestruck. The stories here are interesting and the graphics are cool. One more thing the chapters are a good length which can be a problem with those story apps. However I did find somethings that sucks about this app. One is the whole choices thing. You get hearts in this app and it seems every time I think I have enough for a choice it isn’t. For example I will have 20 hearts and the choice will be 23 hearts. Yeah that doesn’t seem right to me. Another thing is they have a broken story and of course it’s my favorite called Speakeasy Tonight. It’s not getting updated anymore and yet they let you spend your time reading it even though you will never find out what happens. Boo! One more con of this app is the time for tickets. 2 and half hours for one ticket or so it seems sometimes. Sometimes you get 2 tickets and sometimes you only get one ticket. Not sure what determiner this. Unlike Choices or Episodes where the time is sped up a little, Lovestruck really takes 2 and half hours for whatever ticket I guess they decide you get.
Yet I will keep reading as I love the story Astoria. You get to get together with Gods. I started out with Hades. Unfortunately they don’t tell you how you should read them. I just jumped right in a story with Hades and found out you have to read them in a certain order for it all to make sense. Anyways it’s still good reads though.

We went to see Tex on Thursday and this time we took pics.
The pic with Jeff, Tex is giving him kisses! I love it! Awe Tex is so cute!
Friday I got my hair done by Lori. I told her this so far is my favorite color combo.
This Saturday was the family reunion. I was disappointed a little because with the way everyone was talking about it looked and sounded like a hundred people were going to be there. I got to meet some people. It was strange everyone just separated into groups. So Jeff and I ended up by my sister and her family. Some mingled but a lot didn’t. I did try and meet some people but a lot seemed to be distant. We were there for four hours and that was long enough. It was so freaking hot out it was crazy. The best part of the reunion was seeing my cousin Ann. I haven’t seen her since I was 13. Mom, Chrissy and I went to CA to visit her when I was 13. It was so fun as she live in San Francisco. It’s funny because she looks the same just older. However It was an okay family reunion.
Tex
OH. MY. GOD!
Guess what we did last Friday? We adopted a puppy! I am so excited. We can’t take him home till September 2. It’s hard waiting.
Story:
Last Friday mom sent me a link from Facebook saying puppy Labradors for sale. As we told my parents that we want a lab puppy. Of course I wanted a black lab puppy who is male. I get to be super picky because this is the dog we will have for a long time. Anyway mom sent me this link and I looked at it. They are all so cute. I contacted the lady to ask how much and what she had left. She had two silver labs which I didn’t know was a thing but those went fast. She had black and chocolate puppies yet for sale.
Here’s why it’s meant to be. She advertise in Green Bay. Jeff sent her message if we could see them on Saturday as we were going to be in GB anyways. She message back and get this she lives 5 minutes away from our house! WOW! So we literally went over there at 8 o’clock at night to look at cute puppies! Jeff told the lady we wanted a black lab that is male and she had 7 males left when were there.
AWE!!!
They all were so cute! However I did pick them all up but I had this feeling about one of them. You just know feeling. He just loved Jeff and I was like that is the one.
We named him Tex. Reasoning because Jeff’s bday is August 27 and he was born in Texas. So I thought Tex and I told Jeff this was his bday present from me. Lol!
We didn’t take any pics just was so excited in seeing them all. We are seeing him again this week. So definitely pics soon to come! Oh we can’t wait to have him here!
