couple of things have happened over the last few days..

both yesterday and today I have had run-ins with spiders… if you know me you know that I dislike spiders immensely… all of our married life George would save me when I came across one… I would holler and he would come running and dispose of the creature…

one of the few times I dealt with one, that I can remember, was when Cyndi was a tiny baby in the bassinet and one headed across the living room floor toward her… I found a shoe and disposed of it in a fit of she bear protective rage…

we watched Arachnophobia when it was on TV once, and I had nightmares for weeks, the girls thought it was hilarious… I remember as a girl at my Grandmother’s cottage having spiders run toward me on a regular basis… I think they knew I was terrified…

yesterday there was one in the main floor bathroom when I came downstairs first thing in the morning… I had to find a shoe and deal with it and did, with barely a flutter of my heart… tonight I sat up on the bed to discover one right up against the wall not a foot from my foot… quickly I found a book and dealt with it…

apparently, I am getting used to those big girl pants…

pond that is maintaining the water level…

finally the pond is maintaining its water level which makes me very happy… it sounds just wonderful and brings me such serenity…
