Wonder what snacks we'll share.
Thanks Crown! Hope you are having a Marvelous May!
You da man Bradmac!!!Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!
My proposed $700,000 office renovation and expansion was approved by the corporate office last week! Our main office was built in the mid-80's, and its pretty small, so a few of us have been working in an office trailer beside the main office. This has really been needed, but I've been told for more than a year that corporate would never approve that kind of expense. Ha!
Of course, now I have to execute the plan. It'll be fun, though, to do something different. Oh, and...my new office is as large as the general manager's new office LOL!
I hope y'all have a great day!
I know what you mean. I get orders from the power companies for projects that will ship in the Fall, and I just smile.
Jack Frost refuses to give up to Spring, this year....
Enough people in the office are Christmas minded that no further requests for time off around the holiday will be approved, this yearI know what you mean. I get orders from the power companies for projects that will ship in the Fall, and I just smile.

I suspect fired Twinkies will be served, but I may be wrong. It has happened before...Merry Morning
Might get some rain later, but the sun is out now.
Have a meeting this morning and a work deadline this afternoon.
Happy Pines Day!
Stay jolly!
Hello all!
We just back from Detroit and the Motor City Comic Con. It was quite crowded yesterday, but fun. The best was we got to meet John Cleese and get his autograph. He was very nice and polite. I have always been a big fan. Fawlty Towers is one of my favorite shows of all-time.
We wanted to meet Tom Ellis, who is now famous for the show Lucifer, but we are fans of his from his role on the British show Miranda. However, we did not want to get his autograph, just a selfie and to say hi. My wife even made a shirt that had a quote from the show on it. Unfortunately he was not doing selfies and the Con would not allow meet and greets without paying for an autograph.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. This week is my last week of school. Monday and Tuesday are regular days and then Wednesday through Friday are exams. Friday is an early dismissal for students, but teachers have to stay until 9PM.Oh well, then the school year is over. I am quite ready for summer break. This has been a LONG year. It is time to recuperate and then make some changes for next year.
Everyone have a great evening and start to the new week!
Good morning all! Another warm day here. Near 90F for a high. But at least I'm in a nice cool office for most of the day. And I'm starting to get a chest cold. What's up with that?
Be blessed!
Greetings Merry Folk!
Good quick trip to London. Picked up an older cousin in Barrie on the way to London and took the back way so we'd have more of a scenic route instead of playing cat, mouse and chicken on the 401.
Lots of freshly turned and manured fields - ew - minimal road kill; the return trip was better until it started to rain.
Mostly sunshine on this weekend adventure and a really good visit with good conversation and food.
Were there any signs of Christmas? Yes, thanks for asking. My cousins club house has multi-coloured Christmas lights stung up along the inside. Of course I offered the countdown number. And a farm on route had a festive wreath and hemp-like twine and red garland strung along the wooden fence near the driveway.
We hardly heard the music because the volume was minimal so we could chat on the drive. We seemed to veg more on the last hour of our return trip.
My dad let me drive from Huntsville to North Bay so I could get comfortable with his car for our trip to the East Coast in the summer.
It's a Toyota, no problem. I suggested taking my car (secretly because I wanted access to Sirius) because I have an enclosed trunk and he has a hatchback. He wants his car because he finds it roomier for the cat that we are taking to Cape Breton. Not my boy. I will find a friend to take him for two weeks or spend the money ($38.00+ for each of 10 days) to let him go to the Cats on Cann Lake cattery where he doesn't have to socialize with the other cats if he can't handle it and he will get some 1:1 time with a trained cat carer.
That means taking him to Muskoka which is out of our way, but we can cut through Algonquin Park toward Ottawa.
Between the two of us driving we only need a sleepover in Montreal and one in New Brunswick before we reach our destination. On the way back, we might take in Old Quebec City cross over to Toronto to visit my brother before picking up the cat. My dads cat will stay in Cape Breton with his neighbours and return with them in late September.
I hope Sandy will take O'Malley so he doesn't have to endure the car ride to Muskoka, and I know it would be easier to have someone check in on him at home, but I don't trust anyone to do that.
He was sure happy to see me when I came through the door last night. He ate all the food in the second feeding station and hardly touched the food that was in his regular spot.
Not much going on today, going to make some homemade soup for lunches during the week and maybe go for a drive.
Stay jolly!
Happy Milestone Day, Christmas friends!
It's a milestone for us, anyway. Elizabeth graduated high school yesterday! Not only is that the end of her grade school education, it's the end of 18 years of tuition for me and Nancy! Jacob started there in 2001.
Of course, Jacob's college tuition is about the same as private grade school tuition (since Georgia offers lottery-funded scholarships) and he gets an allowance from us. Elizabeth's full-ride scholarship means we won't have to pay college tuition, but we'll be paying her rent, meals and gas for a while.
When I think about it, I guess I'm not really saving any money.Oh, well.
I hope y'all have a great day!

Terrific Tuesday - my Monday as I was off yesterday for Victoria Day; went for a short drive; the weather wasn't the best chilly with light rain, but the HWY was really wet from the short downpour before I headed out.
O'Malley cat and I hung out together a bit yesterday in the late afternoon. He's always around, but he was much closer to me and I got on the mattress with him for a bit and gave him a nice rub.
Last night, shortly after I went to bed, I awoke from a nightmare; I had been moaning and saying, "Get away!" as I woke. O'Malley was in the doorway keeping an eye on me to make sure I was okay. Weird dream, shadows were after me and it didn't help that when I woke up I saw a shadow in my room, but it was from the fan rotating that cast a shadow on the ceiling and wall from the light coming through the window. Slept pretty good after that.
Have a follow-up with my doctor later today, but I already know the test results were fine.
Keep a merry thought in your head!
Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!
It's hot! And getting hotter!
