Critter Free

Our house is officially critter free and all the holes have been covered. I think I can rest easier now. The squirrels scampering across the roof will still have me stopping to listen, making sure it's from outside the house, for a while.

I've spent lots of time at the computer the last few days. I'm creating the display signs for a silent auction. Being persnickety, or obsessive, it takes me quite some time to get it all right. I'll try the title with 20 or more different fonts and different colors, striving for the most eye-catching combination. Hubby just rolls his eyes and tells me he'd have them all done in 1/2 hour. Yep, I'm sure he would...no pics, no colors, no pizazz. We're trying to get people to bid on these things. The pizazz factor is very important.

The Singer has officially changed her college major to Religious Studies, with the idea of going straight on to get her masters and PhD. I hate to be a pessimist, but job/career do you get with this major? Besides teaching Religious Studies at the college level. I think it's a very interesting area of study and she's planning on taking New Testament Hebrew and Latin. But as the mom, I'm a little concerned with her marketability. Hubby even more so. I hear my dad's voice when he exclaims over the very uncertain financial future with this major. And he adds, "I don't want her coming back home at age 27." She's pretty resourceful. I think she'll do alright. Not sure USF is the best place, even at the undergraduate level for this major, but it's her life, not mine.

The weather is still hot. Of course, going into the 60's had Hubby getting out sweaters and jackets. Really! He's under 2 layers of covers, while I've got the fan on. It's suppose to be 92 today. But it does make for good gardening weather. I'm off to transplant some more bean plants. Onions will be ready to transplant in a couple of weeks.

I've got a busy couple of weeks ahead. Am looking forward to Thanksgiving week when Hubby is taking a few days off.
