Randomness

Today was a happily, uneventful day. Well after I called my sister to find someone to jump off the van this morning so I could go to work, that is! My neighbor was home, but I try not to be the "helpless female" to someone who wants to be so "helpful." Instead Lejune called an elderly man whom I've never met and I had to remind him to start his car or the jump just won't work! Now,if only I can learn to operate my lawn mower! I'm sure it's shameful to own a nice riding mower and be clueless as to how to operate it. My 86 yr old neighbor uses a push mower on hers. Yes, she uses it! And her yard looks great. I don't know how to use a push mower either. I was never allowed...allergies. Anyway, I let someone borrow my mower and in return, they only had to keep my yard mowed. That system worked for over a year, but I guess they bought their own. Mine is under the carport if anyone wants to come by and mow for me...or show me how.

Oh! I forgot until I looked at the calendar at work....Saturday was my 20th Birthday!! I know you thought I was a bit older, but really; I'm just 20! It did take me a minute to realize what "HG BD 20" stood for! Why did I write it at work and not at home?? I don't know. Maybe dealing with 6 one year olds (and their parents, more likely) I need the reminder that I do have the Holy Ghost!

I haven't heard from Brianna today and she hasn't been home when I called. 8 years old and already too busy for me. I'm glad she's enjoying herself! Probably shopping with Grandma...she really knows how to shop!

If you aren't allowed to do yours this round, I can't let you do mine. Bummer!

I wish we had a riding mower at home maybe our next mower will be smaller than the tractor but you can still ride on.

I was 30 in June!

P.S. I love mowing our yard (not too well in this heat), and yes, I still use a pushmower on our little over 1/4 of an acre lot. Great exercise!

Wow, Julie and Carla! You guys are old! Keith is close to me isn't he? I think he was still pretty new when I moved to TX. Todd must be old...just look at his great hair!
