Evil, Evil Facebook!

As I said in my last post, I finally joined Facebook. It was only a matter of time, really.

Well, I'm become fond of FarmTown. It's an addiction actually. And last night while harvesting my virtual crop to take to the market, It occurred to me that Ari was being way, WAY to quiet.

Low and behold, she was at the kitchen table, enjoying an after dinner butter rub down. Honestly, it was HILARIOUS. Not because there was belly slick all over my table, chair, floors and walls...but BECAUSE it was on the chair, she could not move. Not an inch or she would start sliding. She was begging for me to come pick her up, but I wasn't saving her little butt that quick. I made her wait instead for me to fetch the camera and take these incriminating photos.

Of course, I did pick her up and put her directly into a hot bath. Mid bath I did have to remove her to scrub down the margarine ring that had formed and refill the tub.

Closure

I'm no sure how 'national' this got, but about 5 and a half years ago a woman was abducted from our 'town' (We live out in the boonies, so 'town' is really 20miles away).

Well this weekend the man that abducted, raped, and murdered her made a plea bargain to confess to the crime to get life in prison, rather than the death penalty.

It's great closure for her family, but I can't help but feel uneasy since the location where he bound her, left her for hours (to go get high he says) and came back to rape (and murder) her is less than 10 miles from my house!

Driving to location where all the search crews are parking their cars is 8miles from home.

I can only imagine how close it really depending on how deep they're walking into the woods!

Here is a link to our local paper if you want to read about whats currently going on with the case

Ok, I DID fall off the Face of the Earth

I have been a bad, bad blogger. It's been 3 DAYS since I even logged on!

I am getting very antsy to make soap again...it's been over 2 MONTHS.

Other than finally joining FaceBook, nothing new has been happening around our home. It's time to start preparnig for winter, stocking the shelves, cleaning up the yard and making sure everything is under cover for the rain.

It's been a busy, crazy couple of weeks!

Ali started school

Mr. Sam just keeps growing

And we've been doing lots of berry picking (ok, eating) and harvesting from the garden.

I also have a heft hospital order to fill, so every second of free time I have doesn't go to cleaning the house, I'm working on it.
