The Seasons are Rotating...Fall is here!

    Its been all fun and games at the Gipson house!  Rain, then more rain and finally it rained even harder!  Then when the rain stopped, the cold weather moved in.  It was wonderful to move out the heat and humidity for some cool dry air.  That lasted a few days and then the rain came back!  Lets start building that ark - I am afraid the hill is going to dissolve and the house will slide down and over!
     The house is getting into order for the up coming holidays.  I think my children are coming and bringing their children with them!  It will be wonderful.  The bedrooms are 95% in order and moving along daily.  I had hoped to get to Ikea and purchase some organizational furniture but I just couldn't do the drive this past week.  I had already driven to Birmingham for the hair/skin show and then the next day I drove to Tuscaloosa to the VA and then a couple days later I drove first to Columbus and then backtracked to Tupelo to go to the Celebration Village.  I was just tired of driving...
    School is coming along for both of us.  I really admire Ken for taking all those online classes - it causes him stress at times.  I have really enjoyed taking just one class but just signed up to take 4 classes next semester and a Saturday class - I must be crazy!
     That is all the news from the hill for now.  Later.

Fall Has Arrived in Mississippi!

    Things are plodding along at the Gipson household!  We are busy as usual doing nothing of any interest to anyone but ourselves!  Work and school are good.  Some work is being done on our house - the floors are being replaced on the second floor.  Half has been completed and they are returning tomorrow to finish - hopefully.  2 bedrooms are an absolute mess and one is empty of anything.  Its like moving house all over again but sorely needed after being in the house for 5 years.
     I moved the sewing/art room to the back bedroom and it is smaller than the front bedroom so my artistic talents will take place in a very small and possibly cramped room... Definitely time to get rid of stuff... Yea, like that is going to happen soon!
     Then there is the case of the closet.  We both need to get rid of clothing.  Right now it is all piled on our bed and we definitely have too many clothes.  Again, move it!
     It is raining and raining and raining.  We had a couple of dry days and now it has rained all day today.  Hope it stops by tomorrow... Cross your fingers.
    Thats it for now.  Later.
