Happy Cinco De Mayo MMC! A rainy Sunday here. Seems like every Friday and Sunday it rains but Saturday turns out to be at least decent. I hope next week the rain we get clears out in time for Mothers Day Weekend. But for today mostly rain. I'm going to the mall as I need a couple of new shirts. Have a great Cinco De Mayo!
 
Good morning all! It’s going to be a lovely day here - not weather wise, but for our family. DS makes his First Holy Communion at mass today. 20 or so of our family and our best friends are coming and then we are having a get together afterwards. We actually got together with this set of friends last night, so we moved the family night (food and board games) to tonight, so it will be a great day all around. I can’t wait to see my boy all dressed up in his suit!

Hope you all have a great day!

Good Sunday morning! Yesterday started with grey skies but we ended up with sun and it will be a glorious sunny day today as well. We did all the grocery shopping yesterday, so only laundry and chores left today. We’ll be heading out in a couple of minutes to eat breakfast out with some friends. Then we’ll enjoy the sun on a long walk at the park. Have a great day everyone!
 
Good Morning, Guys!

The Run for the Roses was held yesterday.
But we are still running for our Season and toward our next Milesteone marker.

The figures, for the day:
Days to the Season: 192
Days to Christmas Day: 234

And Folks, we have now reached the threshold of SINGLE DIGITS to the HALF-WAY point to Christmas Season 2019.
TEN days. Count 'em!

Our nice weather continues to hold, although we had a little rain yesterday evening and last night.
There is a much better chance today and it should be a bit cooler.
For now, we have begun our weekend part II at 66 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Super Sunday, Friends!
 
Long time, no see. Hope everyone had a good week. Gotta be quick...about time to get ready for church.

This is probably the busiest week of the year. Banquets, Senior church service (for our high school seniors), graduation, etc. After I get through this week, things get really slow. I'm looking forward to it. A slow down would be nice.

Big day. Prayers for a wonderful day, too.

Did anybody catch the Kentucky Derby? Swoosh! Crazy outcome.
145th derby winner was disqualified and the long-shot took the win due to a block/bump on the course. Country House declared the winner.

I feel bad now because everyone will be talking about it at the Preakness and although I thought Maximum Security would have won anyway - it's not based on my opinion. So, I turn to feeling bad for the owner and jockey who will be talked about in negative ways for the next leg of the triple crown race. 'Cause I root for the underdog. Someone has to.

The sad thing to me was that a penalty had to be imposed even though nothing was done with malice---according to the jockey, Maximum Security drifted out because he was spooked by the crowd noise while coming around the final turn. It was a dangerous situation, though, as horses got close enough to potentially get their legs tangled and go down. It was also sad that the owners, jockey, and trainer of the declared winner Country House had to endure the crowd booing while they were congratulated and given the trophy. What an awkward mix-up it all became. And now the Preakness coming along in just two weeks ...

Funny thing, though. We watched "Come On, George!" (a 1939 movie starring George Formby, about a racehorse) after the Derby, and at one point a character was raving about "I'll have him disqualified! I'm going to raise an objection!" Then we watched "Murder at the Baskervilles" (a 1930s Sherlock Holmes mystery involving racehorses and murder), and most of it took place at---wait for it---a Country House. So ripples of the Derby decision lapped at our entertainment all evening!

Thanks Crown! Happy Cinco De Mayo!
 
One thing I love about May (and going forward) is these next few months you'll start to see "signs" of the upcoming Autumn Season. Today I saw my first one. Our local arena that hosts all various events had a sign that said "October 26th Fall Festival". Just brought a big smile to my face! If October 26th is close enough for them to acknowledge now (which is already halfway through the Bers) imagine how close we really are to September 1 already?

Congratulations to DS on his First Holy Communion, God bless!
 
Good afternoon .. we went to see the new Avengers movie this morning. What an awesome movie. Getting ready to put a turkey breast into the oven, got yams boiling. Weather isn't the greatest .. damp and chilly but a perfect day to have the oven going :) Last night DH and I went shopping looking for a metal basket for the kids bathroom .. well we scored the basket plus a birthday gift and several christmas gifts for our DS. Good thing Hobby Lobby and the Christmas Tree Shoppe isn't closer to us otherwise I would really be broke LOL Hope everyone has a great day.
 
Good afternoon everyone. Michelle just got back from an awesome weekend at Gulf Shores, AL. We celebrated 27 years of marriage this past Thursday. Now we're catching up on some recorded college softball games. Have a great evening!
