A not-so-frantic Friday

It is very beautiful and very cold here in Southern Indiana.  Thomas is hunting all day, and Andrew is spending the day with some friends, so Eler Beth and I have spent the day together.  (I am worn out!)  We had breakfast and lunch out and we did some shopping. 

We have a new Bass Pro Shop nearby that just opened a couple weeks ago.  She and I went back there again today.  It is really a nice place.  There must have been a couple hundred people there.  They have a really nice embroidery shop there where they can embroider just about anything you want, and you don't have to buy the item to be embroidered there. 

Of course Thomas has his eye on one of the boats there and also on another tree stand.  Eler Beth bought a bird watching kit and a book on identifying birds.  I enjoy the old photos and antique toys, books and even utensils that they use to decorate the store.  They have a big tank with some huge catfish in it, and a waterfall.  The third floor isn't finished yet, but there will be a restaurant up there. 

I bought Eler Beth a new dress coat which she really needed.  She has grown so much in the past year.  And I bought a sweater for myself.  So it's just been a nice, lazy day.  I really needed to be home cleaning, but it was too nice to stay inside.  And it wouldn't have been fair to Eler Beth to keep her in all day when the guys are out having fun, now would it?  Now I'm making a big pot of homemade vegetable soup for dinner.

I'm free to spend a little time on the computer now, so I'll probably pop in and out all evening.  I appreciate the comments left regarding my previous entry.  Yes, it is our wish that "J" moved.  I don't know if they rent or if they bought the house.  When it was empty I can't remember if it had a For Sale sign or not.  They keep the place up very well.  It's a very attractive house, which is more than I can say for J.  He has kept to himself since that last incident.  I haven't even seen him walking his dogs.  I'm hoping he messes up and the police catch him at something illegal.  From what I've heard he's alienated almost everyone on our block, so maybe he'll watch his Ps and Qs, if nothing else.  And we don't let Eler Beth go anywhere near his house.  So, that's about it for now.  Just a little boring entry, all in all.  More later!
