Continuing the countdown 50-41

More things about me starting with 50.

50.I lived in California for about six months.

49. I cannot see the Milky Way or constellations.

48.The first book I read several times was 'The Outsiders' by S.E. Hinton in the sixth grade. It is still one of my favorite books.

47. I do not know what the big deal is about Brad Pitt

46. I attended the Indianapolis 500 in 1982 when our school marching band performed in the parade.

45. I used to have a ton of patience, now I have about zero. I like to say I used it all up with my early relationships. My poor husband and kids.

44. If I were to come back as an animal, I would want to be a dolphin (although my dog has a pretty nice life).


43. This is really silly but I have a fear the garbage men will come early and I will not have the garbage out so I will have to wait another week to put it out. (This happened once a few years ago so now I make sure it is out first thing Wed. morning.)

42. Despite the garbageman cometh too early phobia, I procrastinate on just about everything else.

41. I never had wisdom teeth come in so I never had to have them pulled.

Family Update: If you like hearing about Pigeon Falls, check out my husband's blog at linnasminute.com. There is an interesting photo.

I had my mother and brother and my sister-in-law over for a BBQ today which was nice. HOH did all the cooking. I planted my one tub of flowers and pulled some weeds so as far as I am concerned, I am done with the yard work!

Last night we had tornado warnings from midnight until almost three a.m. We all went into the basement and by the time we went back to bed we were all so wound up it was hard to go back to sleep. Despite this, we still made it to church on time which now has one service because of summer hours. It was a good sermon about how we call can contribute by use of our God given talents. I am not sure what mine is, but I hope to put it to some good use.

Tomorrow the only thing we have planned is taking all the weeds I pulled to the dump and possibly going to the bookstore (maybe I will buy "The Outsiders'). It is supposed to be in the 90's tomorrow....HOT!

Have a good one.
