howdy ya all

this last weekend, hubby and i went up to seattle to the freemont oktoberfest, it was a beautiful day and we only ran into the troll who guards the bridge over freemont one time. here it is

while this is not the actual stone one which guards the bridge


http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/WASEAtroll.html this little bugger is, the one we saw and i have pictured was made by a seattle artist who made it out of paper mache and then clear coated it so it would not melt in the rain. we had a great time although it was rather diffucult for me to ride there and back, but i managed to do so. i saw this raw silk yarn they had for sale, the vendor wanted 8.00 a hank which i would suppose to be about 3 ounces, needless to say i did NOT buy it as it was just nasty sorry looking yarns..

sunday we watched the seattle seahaws beat the new york giants (sorry giant fans) with what appeared to was going to be a wash out for new york, yet they came back and brought it to within 12 points and thats what the seahawks took the win for, moral of this story, don't count your little seahawk eggs lol, , and yes i am a seahawk fan and am glad that they won the game.


we then went and visited my mil and she is just very very fragile, each week i see her fading away to almost nothing.is just very hard to see. :(



then on the other hand today i had AWESOME news, i have been so worried about where i was going to get the next 1000.00 for our taxes, and i had had my doctor fill out a disabled tax payer card for me, and since our income is less than the amount that is covered then i though well maybe we will qualify, well not only did we qualify so i got a reduction, we don't have to pay anymore this year AND we are getting money back. thank god we finally are getting a small break anyways. is a sad sad world where one person can change others lives so horribly and they don't get a break in anyway, thats what had happened to me until today, i found that there are good people in this world and that our government does truly care, i am soooo happy i cried right there in the assores treasurers office, the girl who helped me was sooooooo very kind. thank god there are people who can make a difference, i do my best to be the kind of person that i would want others to be for me. tomorrow will tell you all about my yarn haul i made last week teee heee lol hugs to you all and god bless and keep you all
