Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!!!!!! It is a cloudy and warm day here in central Indy. We are currently at 72 degrees and that is 22 degrees above are normal high for this time of year. Hopefully that doesn't mean we are going to have as hot of a summer as last year. I met some friends for lunch today in downtown Indy and then managed to kill the engine in my truck on the way home. Now I have to get my aunt or my sister to let me use their garage to fix it. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kinda know how you feel. I grew up in the mountains of NC but work took us to Dallas then Nashville then Atlanta. We finally decided this was not how we wanted to live. We made a career change and moved back home to the mountains. The TX and GA summers were awful and the winters were too short and mild. It is nice to have all 4 seasons with summers that are not too hot. The nights cool off nicely here even in the summer.

I'll say it again...You're a lucky, and blessed, man! cheesy

I am saying the same thing!!!!! except for we are currently at 89F which is probably at least 15 above our average...I am going to have to get use to being in hot weather again.

I am home and im not even getting my clothes out of the car. I am so tired but my dogs are so happy to see me. I guess they thought I left them for good. I have got alot to do around the yard. The grass needs cutting etc etc...I am going to plant a small garden as well.Tomato,potato and peas and onions. then late summer I am going to try my hand at pumpkins..I think I am too far south for pumkins but I will try. Everyone have a good day!

It is a chilly rainy morning here, I ran out and did all my Tuesday errands, and started the pot roast, which already smells delicious, I am just taking a little rest before I clean up the house, there are toys everywhere right now, I guess that happens when you are all busy for a number of days.

Somehow your day descreptions always sound so much like story-book days ... i imagine you have a great family, and i like the way you write!

One other thing that has really surprised me was the beauty of the Charlotte skyline!

beautiful picture, we don't have much cities that are this high in holland, we still have Mills in our skylines

this is the 'city' i live in:

Afternoon all! Snow is headed to London Ontario tonight. Up to 10cm or more! Everyone else here is angry about it. I'm happy about it! Yay! William had a great birthday.

Congrats on your son and your snow, enjoy it!

Pimp my ride....or should that be camel - Scottish style

hahahhaa

Snow-in-Texas said:
Well I should be getting my car back today. They agreed to fix it for free even though the labor was only under a 1 year warranty, they said it was so close they would do it free.

hope you got it back!

Bradmac said:
We finally got our new cash register in at the store yesterday. I was afraid Bernie wouldn't like all the new-fangled equipment, barcode scanners, touchscreen register, online inventory and reports, etc, but he was like a kid at Christmas. He had all the equipment out of the box and spread out on the checkout counter before I could get there yesterday. I hope they didn't lose any parts! LOL! Now I just have to make it all work

Hope you can make it work

Sounds like they were quite excited

lol

Hope all of you are well!

Anyone else doing this? Hoping for Christmas stuff in the stores? I tend to peek around places looking for Christmas stuff hehe. Shhhhh don't tell my Wife!

Wanted to pop in to say hello to everyone. We got a heap of snow (about 2ft to be exact). Real heavy, wet snow. Made me think of all of you. You wouldn't believe how many tree branches have snapped and fallen to the ground, power out in some parts of town and many bushes and smaller trees "hunched" over. Hard to look outside and think it's spring. I hope everyone is doing well. cheesy

Annette · Mar 22, 2011

And I also wanted to share a picture of my newest niece Avery and her big sister Faith.

yep remerton...although I hang out alot at charley o'corleys off Ashley st. too..I go to the mellow mushroom when I get in a funk and it makes me feel better to make the college girls swoon....j/k.

LOL! I'm sure you do. =)

Okay, the last time I was in Valdosta, Charley O's was in Remerton right down from Mellow...where is it now on Ashley St? Is it in a brand new location or did it move in where another place used to be?

Good evening,

The house is all cleaned up, the pot roast was great, swim lessons for both boys was great, my Bruins won a good game tonight, all caught up with laundry. So I guess it was a good day here, my only issue is the TV station that played Married With Children between 10-11 is no longer playing it, I really enjoyed winding down with a good laugh before bed. Oh well.

Made, I hope your head gasket isn't blown, and your truck is quickly repaired.

Have a good night all. :tree:
