Pedi Paws

Remember the commercial about Pedi Paws on the TV? Snookums hates to have her nail cut. Someone must have mistreated her. So, when I saw that I ordered one right away. Then I got a note from them saying they had a large volume of orders and mine was on back order. That it would be at least 6 weeks. Well, it arrived today. Now I need to get her familiar with it so she will let me use it on her.

Anyone want any Hickory Nuts???? My yard if FULL of them. I need to mow the grass, but can't until I get it all picked up. I picked some up yesterday. I'm glad I did.

This Week Will Be Busy.

There are several things on the agenda for this week. One of the busiest lately. I have sewing I need to do. Snooks and I haven't been able to walk over the weekend. Should make the walk today a long one. There is a soccer game at CC this afternoon, CC vs McCutcheon. Jacob is coaching CC and Levi is playing for McCutcheon. So, I just have to go watch. After that, Steve and Kristin will be in town. So, need to be home to see them.

Had plenty of sewing last week, and it's stacking up the same for this week. That's good.

Aunt Evelyn hasn't been very good lately. She is in the hospital at Lake Havasu, and is getting better. Talked to Uncle Ray the other evening. Maybe he'll call in a day or two to give us an update.

I keep checking Carmen's blog, but she apparently hasn't had time to post any pictures of Gioia. I know she is busy, but.............Grannie wants to see a picture of her. I guess I'll have to wait till I am able to go see them. Waaaaa!!!

Once Upon A Child!!

It was my first visit to the store. I wanted to take Carmen something for Gioia when I go see her. I think I got 5 outfits for under $20.00. A very good deal. Just so they fit. They started a "frequent buyer" card (I think that's what they call it) and I probably won't be there again for a long time. Maybe I'll give it to Annie. I bet she or Sarah could use it.

Have had a few sewing jobs lately. Today a phone call says they meed 3 pair of pants hemmed and a dress for a wedding hemmed. That should be a good deal. I need to return that call. Chico has patches he needs sewn on shirts. That is the best deal. It looks like I'm going to be busy for awhile.

Rocky told me last evening that he is to start work at Clarian-Arnett on Monday. In the kitchen. I hope this works for him. He's had a ton of different jobs. He's now old enough, he needs to be able to stay put.

Have been going thru pictures. I need to get the albums going. What a mess it is. There are soooooooo many pictures. Many of them I will probably pitch.

Hey, Annie, give me a call the first of the week. I need your assistance with something. Thanks.

Betty, I have the new short form "Hatke" book printed for you. Let me know when you are going to be close. Or, maybe lunch. Either will work.

Name and spelling

Talked to Lu Ann this evening. She still doesn't know the spelling that Carmen has chosen for Gioia's middle name. She thinks it's Claire. Hopefully, if it is not correct, I'll remember to let y'all know.

Weight and name.

Talked with Lu Ann yesterday evening. Gioia weighed 7 lbs, 11 ozs. The middle name is another thing. They are considering Clare, the spelling is another question. It might be Clare, Claire or Clair. She missed being born on Chico's birthday. I was hoping for the 21st. But, this way, she has her own day. I'll just have to let y'all know when they decide.

Gioia has arrived!

Somewhere around 4 p.m., Gioia arrived. Apparently all is well. Don't know a middle name, or how much she weighed. Carmen was to go to the hospital around 11 a.m. and they were going to induce her. Apparently she didn't labor too long. Will post the rest of the details when I get them.

Gioia.

Carmen has a post. Thought y'all might want to read it. www.costoncrew.blogspot.com .
