3 hours later and the cupcakes are done. Not my best piping work, I’m out of practice! But whatever money these bring in at work, it’ll be that much more to help severely sick children realize one of their dreams.

I'll do Sunday Crown and if someone wants to take Monday they can...or I will fill in that day too.

Thanks as always, Edge!

 

[Crown 84]

Didn't you JUST make the trip to open up the place for the season???
I hope you find it in excellent condition & you have all safe travels!!!!

Seems like it. Like years, the rental seasons seem to go faster and faster as time passes!

 

[Crown 84]

I can cover Monday.

Thank you, Minta!

I don't know if anyone else likes the sci-fi movie "Dune", but this is awesome.

Hello everyone! Hope your week is going well. I’m off tonight and go back to work tomorrow.

I haven’t heard anymore about the job. The interview went very well and they told me they were quite impressed. Whenever I was leaving, the lady that is in charge of the office whispered to me that she would call this week for a second interview. I’m still hopeful I’ll hear something, but I’m not so sure I will hear anymore. It was in a surgery center and I don’t really have experience with that type of nursing. I was hoping that since I’ve been a nurse going on 14 years and am otherwise very experienced, it would increase my chances. I’m thinking maybe that was that deciding factor.

Anyway, I appreciate all the prayers and nice words from you. I keep telling myself I have a job, make good money, and am happy where I am. I would just really love to see my kids more and be off on the holidays, but am just thankful again I have a job to begin with.

Nothing else is really new here! Hope you all enjoy the evening!

That's a very optimistic and thankful way to be looking at everything Sugar, and that will pay off huge for you my friend. Doors will open for you and they will benefit you and all of your family. I hope it all works out for you and that you do get that phone call.

Pop quiz!

For a quick trip at the end of the September I would go to-

A) Overnight trip to Bronners

B) Day trip to Santa Claus, IN

C) Who needs a valid lisence plate, go to both.

C all the way Made! But, don't get caught; LOL!!!!

Ugh...It is disturbing!!

They take down my mums every Autumn.
They are everywhere!! A lot of the neighbors bags are filled up daily, so gross.

I don't like those things either. Have you ever picked one up in you hand? They like try to poke your hand with those pointy legs that they have. And those bags, peewwwwww, after awhile, those things really get to stinking.

 

[xmastidings]

Thank you ... we also have something else to worry about along with that ... it's not a good time right now, so prayers are welcome.

Oh no Merry. I will have you and the Mr in my prayers tonight. Keeping Gloria in my prayers also, I sure hope you hear from her soon.

 

[xmastidings]

I know, it's so frustrating... ugh!

Thank you, xmastidings~

We are planning on heading down there to help this weekend.

Good luck this weekend SF, and let her know that your friends here are all thinking about her and your folks.

Happy Thursday (Friday Eve) to everyone!

Finally we're supposed to get our fiber phone service installed today. We haven't had phone service at home since the copper line died on August 17. Hope it will be up and running later today without much fuss and bother. They have to come in and put a "box" on the wall next to the electrical panel box. Hoping that's not a hassle. Mr. will be there for the installation.

I sure hope it works all out for you Merry!

I WANT THOSE CUPCAKES!!!!! Yum-Yum-Yummy looking!

Happy Thursday!
I ended up taking my husband to the Dr yesterday and they gave him some meds for the vertigo. He is still not feeling 100% so he is home today too.
Typical work for me today and I am going to a friend's house to do a load of laundry.
Hope you all have a great day!!

Vertigo.. Oh man, that really stinks. I've had that a couple of times and it makes me feel like I'm going to puke if I move, sit up or turn my head to fast. I hope the meds will help him out there buddy.

We were at our local Rite Aid last week, and they were chock-full of Halloween stuff, but no Christmas. Will keep an eye out!

I was just at CVS and they had plenty of Halloween stuff but no Christmas things out yet.

Good morning MMC!! Merry Friday Eve! It's much cooler today - no sun & the humidity seems to have disappeared. So nice to have the AC shut off once in awhile at work!! We have a high of 77º predicted! A few of our neighbors came over last night to sit out on the patio - A couple of us had sweatshirts on. Was hard to believe after the HOT days!!!

Just work for me today. Then tonight we are going to surprise my oldest sister with a wine & cheese/snacks party on her patio - today is her last day of work! She has been semi-retired for a few years now, but she is now fully retiring...then going to Spain for 3 weeks! I'm happy for her!

Everyone, have a great day!!!!

Such a beautiful picture Holiday!

Now, that sounds exactly just how I like it, cool nights, sweatshirt/flannel shirt and a campfire! Perfect!!! Bring on the cooler temps!
