Animal Planet TV…

Carp are a big nuisance in the Illinois River.  Last summer the Animal Planet filmed a local carp hunter’s TV spot to be shown tomorrow night, September 30 at 8PM CST.

If you are interested in seeing the general area where I live I invite you to tune in to this show.  I intend to.

Another gorgeous day, beautiful sunshine and 77 degrees right now.  It is actually to get a bit warmer as the next week progresses.  I have done laundry and been to the pharmacy and grocery store.

When I got home my neighborhood was in total blackout.  A transformer had blown and the power was off for about 2 and 1/2 hours.  I have an electric stove and microwave so I was pretty helpless to fix lunch.  My kids to the rescue again,

I hope you all have a peaceful weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Baby found…

after amber alert.   http://www.pjstar.com/news  http://www.pjstar.com/news/x1238770020/Baby-safe-mother-arrested-after-Amber-Alert

Yesterday morning as I was just sitting down getting ready to watch The Young and the Restless my weather/public alert radio went off with an amber alert.  Believe me when I say that radio sound alert is loud enough to get a deaf person’s attention. 

I cannot imagine what possessed that young mother to abandon her child on a rural country road that has little traffic.  Heartbreaking!

It is a beautiful day at 49 degrees and to get into the lower 70s today.  Just a perfect day.  My niece is coming for lunch.  I had errands to run but I decided to wait and do that tomorrow.  Nothing urgent except I need a few things from the store.

I hope you all have a great weekend.  Peaceful and pleasant.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Lovely Birthday…

Yesterday was a very nice day for me.  I received lots of cards.  A couple of gift cards to order from Amazon, some chocolates from my son.  My daughter and son in law took me to Red Lobster for lunch and then to the riverboat casino where  I proceeded to lose $40.  They also brought me a beautiful birthday cake!

Thank you to all of you who sent me birthday greetings!

Have a blessed day.
