Hey gang! Long day today! Ballgames all over the state have me wearing out the highway. Good news is....I'll see you in the morning for coffee.

Greetings friends! Work has been so incredibly busy I don't know where to begin. TGIF is all I can say right now. Hope everyone has a nice safe weekend.

We survived the storms

Although I didn't see it posted anywhere online, according to the radio station I was listening to there were tornado watches in a few of the counties bordering where I live. It was somewhat scary looking out as the clouds were swirling and moving in all directions - it was very hard to tell what was coming at you, especially since we only see a bit of the sky as we live in the woods. What we ended up getting was a very dramatic noise and light show with lots of rain and some hail and one of the blackest skies I have seen in very long time. I also saw the widest lightning bolt ever and right after heard the loudest crack of thunder - my poor pets were petrified! Of course, I had to go out and make sure they were all okay. I have them in safe areas outside, but they always relocate themselves during storms and it is quite the job to find them all. I don't worry too much about the older cats as they know all the nooks and crannies on the farm, but the kittens, of which there are three, moved, too. I finally located them huddled under one of the trucks - why they think that is a safe place I have no idea, but at least they were with their mom and they were dry, too. Shaggy, the outdoor dog, was sopping wet - he will not go in his house unless it is too hot out. That dog loves to be outside and in all types of weather, be it snow or torrential rain. As of this morning, things are back to normal - all pets are waiting to be fed and are their happy selves once again
Thank you, everyone, for your concern!

Thats good to hear.. it still sounded pretty bad..and a bit scary

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

I met with the previous mayor of Bellville last night. He gave me a list of all the things that he has agreed to do in the last 12 years, that he always did himself. These things don't come with email (or even snail-mail) reminders. Ugh. I need a tablet that has an active calendar that will popup a reminder like "Don't forget to send water samples to Atlanta next week, or they will revoke the city charter!!" It seems that every onscure state agency has the authority to revoke your charter if you don't stop what you're doing and answer their questions NOW. Grrr.

Today is my dad's birthday. He would have been 72. I surely do miss you, daddy.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Sounds like more work to me ..... and am sure your dad will be having a nice birthday in heaven

Thank you. FIL is still hanging in there, some days fairly good, other days not at all good. Sadly, it's a waiting game---days, weeks, months---no one knows. Mr. seems okay, but he must be hurting.

Yes am sure he is hurting. hes his father. and sometimes the stress and extra work that comes with it does not help. but as long as he is in as little pain feel as possible

Good evening, MMC!

I am getting ready to shut things down here - I have a lot to do at home yet, but work is about done for the day. Today has flown by! I will be taking things easy tonight as I have to get up very early in the morning - there is a church rummage sale that starts at 8 and I want to be one of the first in line as I have to go in and out quite fast so I can start work on time.

Have a most MERRY evening!

:merry:

Back from St Thomas, had a great visit with my brother.

Mom gave me an old VHS tape of my kids filmed in 1994. My oldest daughter is in an Easter play at her best friends church. I forgot what a great job she did!

Glad you had a nice visit with your brother. and seems like you had a walk down memory lane

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be another warm day here in central Indy with a high around 85 degrees. I went to the horse track last night with some friends and then we headed over to the big building with all of those machines with arms you pull. I didn't do well at all. Oh well. You win some and you lose some. I'm babysitting this morning and then it will be time to party. I mean come on. It's Seawater's birthday, Cinco de Mayo, and the Kentucky Derby!!!!! We have to celebrate. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Junior's racing in the nationwide race today!!! He has to start in the back because qualifying got rained out, so it should be a good show.

You might actually be right!!!!! Spruce trees love acidic soil and you can add coffee grinds into the soil to increase the acidity. I've been doing it to help my blueberry plants.
