Small projects?

Jarrod and Kevin have resided the little shed that store our mower's and snowblower, and needed to build new doors. This is them in the process.

I think that they have done a good job. I on the other hand was in the house painting. I think my work is harder.

I am repainting the living room. It doesn't look like much now, but it is going to look really good when I finally get it done. As you can see, I am kind of a slow painter. I am going for the cabin theme, and will be repainting all the walls, we are getting new floor (laminate) and then will be decorating as if it were a cabin. You know, once it is done, you will have be bored and see me photos!!!!
I did have a helper, but she really wasn't much help. Kind of like the boss. As you can see, on her shouder she has gotten in to the red paint...... lovely, just means, she's gonna get a circus haircut! Where are my darvocet, when I need them?

Happy 48th Anniversary Mom and Dad ~

I was suppose to post this on the 26th and didn't I am very sorry!

Doesn't mean I don't love you I just forgot to do it. Oh ya, I was sick and went to bed early! Story of my freakin life.....

If your a TROYER, then you gotta love FOOTBALL~!

We are getting ready for some football in the Troyer House!

This is our great nephew Nathan (Natey Boy to me) and he is all ready for the Bengals to start their season.

In September we are going to a PURDUE home game. I am so excited. This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. I talked with Richard and he too wanted to go. So on September 26, we are finally going to do it.... Purdue will be playing a team from South Bend, I don't know, I've never heard of them, Noter Daame. It is going to be a night televised game. We have seats in the end zone and I plan on wearing "Construction worker green" and be running in the endzone, so that I can be seen on TV. Look for me, I am serious~!

In November Steve (my stepson), Jarrod (our nephew), Kevin (my wonderful husband) and I (the boss) are going to California for a Raider football game. We are very excited to be able to go and do this. This was a birthday present to Kevin from me for his 50th birthday, well that was 3 years ago and we are just getting around to doing it. It works out great because Jarrod likes the Bengals and the rest of us like the Raiders! Once the trip is over, you know that I will post more about it, and show pictures.

This is the section we will be sitting in, ROW 6 and the rows start with number 5! I really know how to pick them, don't I!

I do have a question, can you leave someone at Alcatraz, and get away with it? I was just asking?????

Our Camping Trip ~ Santa Claus, INDIANA

I wanted to tell all of you about our camping trip this weekend. Well I need to start with the beginning of the week to tell you that I again have been sick. I have been having that dang lung issue going on where, I can not freakin breathe. I went to work but came home 2 afternoons early, 1 due to peeing my pant (not sharting this time) and 2 just because I was having more issues breathing.

Well by the time Friday night rolled around, I thought that I was better and ready to go. My dad called to tell me what I needed to know about pulling a camping trailer. THEN he told me that I needed to take care of my self, you know that people have been dying from Swine Flu. I said yes, I know that. He said well you know that if you get the swine flu your going to die. I now know that was his way of telling me that I need to take care of myself.

I went to sleep, got up in the morning, felt good, thought about going, and got my self all worked up. I had it figured out that if I went camping, I was going to get the swine flu and die. Yup this weekend it was going to happen to me.

So needless to say, I freaked out. I called my mom and 530 something her time, couldn't get her, called my sissy, woke her up, had to discuss it. Called my ABM from work, asked her what she thought, she told me that I should go, I didn't have the flu, and I would be ok. Called Kay who I work with, how talks to me about my sickness and what she thought. Woke Kevin up and talked to him. All this time, I was driving Leah, Lauren and Ryan nuts. I can't help it I am a freak. I just knew I was going to be 6 hours away and was going to be the only OLD person there and what was I going to do? I finally talked to my Mom and Dad. My dad was just trying to tell me that I needed to get a vaccination when ever they came out with one. But I was still crazed!@

Kevin help make the call. He said I had 3 choices, camp, stay home or go to Cedar Point!

Well we chose the POINT! Cedar Point is Ohio. This is a far cry from Southern Indiana. But the best part is that we are going to have a HOTEL, with good air.....!

Poor Ryan, looks like he really going to have a stiff neck. Leah gets car sick so it's best to have her sleep while we are driving.

We stayed in a hotel in Perrysburg Ohio the first night and had our christmas gift exchange. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO IN SANTA CLAUS, INDIANA...YOU KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS THERE EVERYDAY! We even had pizza delivered there and the kid noticed the Santa and Christmas Tree!

All having fun with The BIG GUY! Looks like he was falling for me!

Today we drove 45 minutes to our hotel, got money off tickets for the park and I dropped off all three at the park. I went to the mall, and then came back to the hotel and have been resting. Just being by myself and it has been great. I don't have any dogs to bug me to go in and out and I don't feel guilty not spending time with Kevin.

I am glad that we still went and did something and am happy that I was able to stay in the air. The humidity really jacks me up. I really isn't much fun when you can breathe.

I have been in contact with them all day. They are really having a great time. What I forgot to tell you is that Lauren wasn't going to go. She was going to just stay with me. I kind of made the decision for her and went and bought her ticket.

I have been talking to them and they are having a blast and so am I.

I have the car and will have to go and get them. Once they are ready to leave they can call and I can pick them up. The are 2 miles away.

We have an indoor water park here, bowling and lazar tag. We have until 11 pm tonight and then 9 am to 1pm tomorrow to also partake in activitys.

I love this kind of camping and thankful to all that helped me make a decision.

I need to get to the dr when I go home and talk to him about this Swine FLU crap!

XOXOXO
