Well, a lot is going on. Moms lungs have started hurting, and they still haven't gotten home from over the road...you would think that with the severity of it, at least it sounds severe, that she would want to get home and get a biopsy done. I am so angry with her and dad, I don't think they are doing what they need to, to get her home soon enough. Days ago, the doctor told her..."You need to come in NOW” Well, it is almost four or five days later, and each day I talk to her, it is, "oh, we will be home tomorrow” Well, as you can see, I am pretty frustrated and upset...and worried.

Anyhow, enough of that, I have been pretty busy in the yard. A lot of the grass died out from all the leaves that we didn’t finish raking up after hurricane Ivan. So, I have started trying to get some of the dead leaves off the grass, and get the yard prepped for some heavy seeding. I have also pretty much finished the landscaping in the front of the house. I am considering, raking up all the pine needles and leaves from the woodsy section in between each side of our house, and putting down red much. Someone down the street did that, and it looks pretty good. I might also plant some Azaleas and Hydrangeas.

I haven’t done much reading or writing lately. And I know God is impressing it on me to do so, I need to be obedient. Seems like something is always getting in the way. I am not sure what I want to write; I enjoy small articles and devotions. Until I find a larger topic, that may be where I focus my efforts.

Anyhow, there is so much to do, and so little time to do it. So I am off for now…Chelle…Out…LOL, I watch too much American Idol!

On a musical note, American Idol last night totally rocked! Bo Bice was amazing. Each contestant (there are three remaining) sang three songs each. First up was Vonzell Solomon, then Bo Bice, and Carrie Underwood. Vonzell’s first song was by Dionne Warwick, which was picked by guest judge, Clive Davis…her second song was “Chain, Chain, Chain; Chain of fools,” she sang it well, but I think I like Fantasia Barrinos version a lot better. Then for her last song which was judge’s choice, she sang Donna Summer’s “On the Radio,” it was great. But not great enough for me to vote for her when it is down to the last three contestants.

Bo’s first song was “Don’t let the sun go down on me,” by Elton John, picked by guest judge. Now I never would have pictured Bo singing an Elton John song, but, as Randy Jackson would say, “he rocked it out,” and it was the best version I have ever heard…he definitely “made it his own.” For his second song, he sang a song by Badlands, he preformed it a Capella; yep, he sang it with no music or band at all, and hit every note flawlessly. It went over very well with all the fans and judges…Bo is my choice for the winner. His last song, which was judge’s choice, was…

Carrie’s first song was “Crying,” by Roy Orbison, again, picked by the guest judge. Her second song was “Out of nothing at all,” by Air Supply; she again, performed well, but not the best performance. For her last song, which was judges choice, she sang, Shania Twain’s “Man, I feel like a woman.” She performed it well, but not sure I like it was well as the original. Again, not good enough to have my vote at this stage of the competition.

BO ROCKS! ;-)
