Stamping Excitement

Demonstrators are all excited today - we can see the upcoming Occasions mini catalog online (demos only). There are a couple of new products that we're going to be selling that everyone's getting excited about! For now, our newest product is My Digital Studio. With it you can do scrapbooks, calendars, cards, videos & more using our colors, papers, etc. - and your pictures you have on your computer! Go to my Stampin' Up! web site (top right here) and look under Products to learn more about it!

There is a long line of trucks and wagons at the elevator today - and we're glad we're not in it! Bill, with Carl's help, started putting anhydrous (fertilizer) on the bean fields yesterday. The corn fields don't get it (don't ask me why 'cause I don't know yet!). Took food out to Bill last night. He got home after 9:00.

Bill & Carl had lunch here today. I made a frozen hash browns, ham & Swiss cheese casserole, green beans, homemade honey wheat bread and pumpkin pie. The house sure smelled good this morning!

Will probably be taking food to Bill tonight. He doesn't want me to ride with him when he's doing anhydrous. It's kind of dangerous. When I just Googled it, one site says "The properties of this fertilizer make it one of the most potentially dangerous chemicals used in agriculture. If a hose ruptures or a valve is unintentionally opened, the high pressure from the tank can cause ammonia to spray into your eyes, face, and other parts of your body before you can react. Anhydrous ammonia is caustic and causes severe chemical burns. Body tissues that contain a high percentage of water, such as the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, are very easily burned. Victims exposed to even small amounts of ammonia require immediate treatment with large quantities of water to minimize the damage."

Starting to think about Thanksgiving. Having Bill's family here - first time to have Thanksgiving in our new house and only my 2nd turkey ever (the 1st one turned out ok but that's been years ago) so I'm THANKFUL my mom will be here to help and supervise!!
