Don't be jealous!!!!!!

I will try to make a long story short. After making the long move to Indiana, our big screen TV that we bought in 2001, went on the fritz. I called Circuit City where we had bought it. I had the luck of calling the day before our service contract ended (imagine that luck). We always debate on whether to spend more money on service agreements & this time we did. So, they had someone come out & try to fix it. It took them several weeks to order parts & to fix the problem (so we thought). The TV was back to normal for 4-6 weeks, then same problem. I called Circuit City once again. They said sorry, the contract was over. Needless to say I gave them a piece of my mind. Again, she said sorry & not their problem anymore. A few hours later the phone rang, it was Circuit City & after reviewing the records they will send someone out to fix it again. The nice gentleman came out, told me he would need to order a part. A few days later Circuit City calling to say instead of fixing problem, it would be cheaper to exchange the product. A new TV? We thought maybe they would give us some money towards a new TV but, not what we originally paid for it. When we got to Circuit City, they stated they already selected another big screen for us (pretty much looked like old one) but, they said "go take a look at it, if it is not what you want you can pick something else out for around $1400 & something". Our eyes big, looking at all the big TVs, Marilyn's eyes zoomed in on the flat screen Plasma's. Yeah, right! As you know we have caviar(sp) taste on a tuna budget. However, here is were the story thickens. We found a flat screen 50' Plasma for $1399.00 & still somehow have a store credit of $107.00. Go figure. We never win or get anything dealt to us like that. So, if you are ever debating on that service agreement. I say yes for larger ticket items such as this. It shows that it was worth it this time. The PIC does not do the TV justice.

Let it snow!!!!

So, we got our 1st glimpse of snow in Indiana on Tuesday. It was beautiful. It has been a long time since we have lived in snow.

From what I hear the worse it yet to come. but, we are looking forward to it. The PIC's were taken early in the morning so, kind of dark.

Trick or Treat

The kids getting ready to go trick or treating. We went with Pat & Colleen's kids around Aunt Diane's neighborhood. A lot of people that live out in the country (like us) bring their kids into town to trick or treat. There is so much land in between houses in the country, you would walk 5 miles just to trick or treat 2 houses. That would not be fun for getting lots of candy.

Abby loves pulling her sisters in the wagon. Abby is Elmo (duh), Shelby is a monkey & Izzy is a lady bug.

The twinkies got tired after a while so, mommy & them rode in the car following the trick or treaters. We ate candy & drank milk. What a life!

As the leaves turn

Yep, you got it. We are on day 3 of raking & burning leaves here in country land. I really do not see an end. As soon as we get done raking a bunch up, you look back & the trees are just dropping more on the spot you just finished with! Pam (Marilyn's sister) states you can guess-ta-mate raking & burning leaves at least 5 more times this year. I think I must have been high when we decided to move to the country.

The kids love playing in them & messing up the piles :(

The PIC with just the trees was taken this morning when the fog was rolling in. Please take a look at the leaves on the ground! It really is pretty here in the fall.

Never ending saga...........Stay tuned for more "As the leaves turn".
