I'm sure all of you from Alabama have heard of our "little" sinkhole under I65. Last weekend before they officially shut down all of northbound I65, we took the back roads to Hwy 67 to get on I65. I have this little phobia about bridges anyway, now the thought of my car falling into a hole in the ground is enough to cause some serious palpitations! I thought it was funny that The Decatur Daily is having a "name the sinkhole" contest. Carl says there was a spring that ran through there years ago. It was called Cool Spring. It is a possibility that the old natural spring has caused it to erode? I personally think they ought to name it after the current United States Congress..........one big sinkhole causing people nothing but headaches! At least after good ole Parker Griffith! He's one big #^$hole!

Today is the vernal equinox! Hip hip hurray! I love spring and fall. So far today, I got up, vacuumed my window sills to get up the friggin' asian beetles, cooked breakfast, now I'm bloggin' and soon Keith will be here; we have a trip to costco planned. Oh yea, and paid a couple of bills on-line. OK, so is this where I say it's the little things in life that make us happy? Seriously, I know it is dull, routine, and 90% of the time, downright boring, BUT it is our life and it is good. Thank goodness, life is not always exciting. I have enough drama at work!

Speaking of asian beetles, if anyone has any tips on how to control them (other than getting Carl to put in new and better windows) please let me know. They drive me nuts! I did get a Black & Decker Dustbuster for the job and it works great!

Well, hope yall have a glorious weekend! At least it is suppose to be pretty today!
