Christmas Countdown - 2013

[mgramsey]

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I survived (barely!) forgetting to pickup the kids at school yesterday.

I spent the afternoon cleaning up the city hall for an expected crowd for our council meeting. An assisted-living retirement community is about to start construction in Bellville. It's a big deal, millions of dollars being spent, and the whole county is looking at Bellville right now. The meeting went well.

I can see the jealousy in the eyes of the officials from the other towns in the county. It's a BIG city-tax revenue generator...but Bellville doesn't have city taxes. It's a point of honor that we don't tax our citizens based on their property values. We just charge $25/month for water and trash pickup, and we have fund-raisers to pay for other needs.

So the new business coming into town won't have a direct financial benefit for Bellville, but they plan to employ 100 people, so the other businesses in town should do better.

I love it when a plan comes together!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

No property taxes sound great. I wish some other local governments would follow your example. You need to run for a higher office.

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a warm day here with a high in the mid 70's. I'm feeling better today but my sides and back are still killing me from all of the coughing over the last couple of days. I have some work to get done though so I can't let that keep me down. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

We had our last regular season high school baseball game last night. I don't see us qualifying for state playoffs so we're probably done for the year. Ethan had a good year and has a good chance to make all conference. He will be a senior next year. I already get a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

We continue to have great temps here but a lot of over this past weekend. It was a refreshing 40 degrees when I left for work today. All good things must end though as it is forecast to get to 75 by Thursday.

Have a blessed day everyone.

Just took Chico to the vet yesterday for a check up then last night my cat is showing signs of a bladder infection so off to the vet again! I cannot put that off for another day. He just got over one a couple of months ago.

No time to read any more post, going to get out of here and get to the vet as soon as he opens.

Have a Merry Day my Christmas Friends!

Praying for your kitty.

I'm told that a dog house is too good for me. She did offer to drop me off behind Bernie's store so I could sleep in a cardboard box.

I thought that was pretty generous of her, considering the steam coming out of her ears.

I can't believe that I don't remember it at all... :/

Kinda scary!!

They didn't mention that suitcase full of money you left behind too!!!!! :lol:

Originally I sad Bradmac 2014 thinking you could run for Congress, but why not shoot for the big ticket in 2016?! You'd have more experience than the current guy did when he came into office. :wink:

Good morning, friends!!

How are you all today?

It's going to be another gorgeous day with a high of 76 degrees. I love opening up the house & letting fresh air blow through! Better do it now before the humidity hits.

Today, I need to go grocery shopping & run a few other errands. I also need to do some more reviewing & hang outside . It does wonders getting some sunshine.

Hope you all have a beautiful day!!

xx

HmG, how's ur Dad?

Dad is doing alright but he is having a hard time springing back from the surgery. He definitely needs physical therapy. We are hoping to get more information today from his doctors about when he may be able to come home. It has been tough on my mom having to go back and forth to the city. But we are all thankful the surgery was successful. I'm sure he will get his strength back, its just going to take time. Thank you so much for asking!

Hello everyone!
The morning is flying by!
I walked the dogs and went to the supermarket so far. I also started some chores but I am having a much needed cup of coffee right now.
It is going to be cloudy here today with temperatures is the mid 60's. We have rain coming through tomorrow. Can't complain, we really need it.
My middle daughter is in the same LPN program that her older sister graduated from last month. She is in the first level of the program and she started clinical today. She was excited this morning, I can't wait to hear about it later.
I hope everyone is having a great day!!!

I was just about to go to bed and I saw that I had an email from my friend. I thought I would share these before I signed off because they sure made me laugh!!

"What my Mom taught me:
Religion - "You better pray that comes out of the carpet!!"
Logic - "Because I said so, that's why!!"
Irony - "Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about!!"
Wisdom - "When you get to my age you'll understand!!"
Justice - "One day you'll have kids, I hope they turn out just like you!!""

Oh my goodness, I have said every one of those phrases to my kids. Too funny.
