Starting over

Well my old server was getting too many glitches and troubles, so here I am at Blogger.

Recent updates:

*We're getting a home security system in place this week.
*It's rainging. =) In the desert it is a rare and glorious thing.
*Puppy training is going well. Last night she cried and barked after I put her in her kennel (cage) so I took a chance and put her outside again. She pooped right away. I put her back in the kennel and went to bed. Not another peep out of her.
*Tonight she pulled the same thing. yapyapyap, outside, number one and spent 10 minutes musing around the yard, back in kennel. She yapped again. Oh no, not twice in one night. She finally stopped.
*I have spent 4 days looking at blog templates. I finally found ONE I liked...only one. oiywiththepoodlesaleady.
*I have only 3 more days to pack for a camping trip.
*VBS was so good this year, but I'm so glad it's over! One of the kids from my class brought her family on Sunday.
*Bethany's mission team is doing TWO Vacation Bible Schools this week....one in the morning and one at night. I hope their reward someday is grand!
*Maggie has grown 2 inches this summer!
*I feel a little out of sorts and jumpy this past week. (after catching a burglar in my house last Monday afternoon) We have a new flag on a pole attached to the house just outside the front porch. If the wind catches it as I walk by sometimes, I have sudden terrors that someone is running up to the house wearing a red and white striped shirt. It makes adreneline squirt out all in my tummy area. It is not a good feeling and makes me shaky. I am reminded that I laugh at my puppy for being jumpy when she sees her reflection in the glass door at night and I am glad dogs don't laugh at us.

*I've been tagged by 2 people for 2 different memes....I will work on that tomorrow.

*Do you like the new look? Do you get annoying pop up ads here or is it slow to load at all?
