I have a red Centro phone, which I really like. It does everything I need and the size is perfect.

I am now phoneless though. Today I got up and my phone went crazy. It kept trying to hot sync to

my computer, over and over, would not let me make or take a call. Has this happened to anyone

else. Sprint is replacing it but I am without a phone for 3 days. I feel lost. It is amazing how

much my phone is part of my life.

Why is it that when you least can afford the time and money that the household appliances

decide to break?

 It is very cold and windy today and at the last minute my 17 year old son decides to

wash his work clothes. With no time to spare he puts them in the washer and it won't

spin the water out. I am off to an appointment that is in another town and here we are

ringing out his pants and shirt for work. Well he made it half wet. Why don't they go out

on a day when you really don't need them.

I decided to take my son's homeschool class in Keyboarding with him. Boy, I thought I was good

at typing. Let me tell you to do it correctly with all the correct fingers is harder than I ever imagined.

The letters are easy but the numbers and all the symbols are very hard to do correctly and be timed.

I am being challenged thats for sure.

We are seeing business pick up in our office, more offers this week then we have seen in the last

few months.  We own an antique store too, for the last few months nobody was even coming

in the door. This week we have had several people a day. Not all are spending alot, but they

are looking and spending alittle. I think gas prices are helping. Lots of out of town buyers.

 I hope this trend will continue for awhile, it nice to be busy again. How are things in your area?

Today I went to the Senior Center for lunch. We have a citizen's commitee formed to find

new ways to help fund the money needed for a water project in Buhl. The city had been

mandated to clean the aresenic out of our water. This project will cost every household

$27.00 more on the water bill. Bringing the total bill to $130.00 per month. We are a

small town of 5000 people and not large incomes.

Our committee was speaking to the seniors on this project. It made me thing about

America, I think we all need to speak up and fight for all the little things that we are

being charged for. Americans need to take back control of the local government by

being present at our city counsil meeting and letting them hear what we think,

It's the middle of October and we are having a beautiful snowy weekend. The trees are white and

roofs are covered. Last week it was warm and the roses were blooming. What a difference a

few days can make. Not to fear though it will be back in the 60's by the end of the week.

Just a short cold front.

Our market even affects the kids.

Thank goodness it is not this bad in our area yet. We are still stable

but alot slower, longer days on the market. Praying the bailout and

the election will help people feel better about buying and selling.

I am staying positive and working harder. I will survive.
