Very touching

HMG...that was so incredibly touching. I'm sobbing right now! Thank you for that poem right now...not just for Holiday, but for all of us.

I didn't mean to upset anyone. But I think it's impossible to not get emotional, they are family members after all. It's so hard to let go xoxo

Testing....

Welcome back, Holiday ~ you were missed!

Long and busy day !

Looks like a storm is brewing. It has rained a couple of times today but never for long. Will just have to wait and see what happens.

Going out to pick rhubarb tomorrow and get some put away in the freezer. (as long as it is not raining that is !)

Just got back from a walk, safe tonight because the wind is blowing away all the mosquitoes !

I think they blew them here!

Thanks, Meceka! We're having a fabulous time so far!

You're welcome! I'm so glad you are having a wonderful time!

Four more days until school is out! Then I'm taking a whole week off. I'm taking another week off later in the summer, but I will worry about that when we get there. I'm just excited about next week. I'm going to look at Christmas stuff all week long! I can't wait.

Heading out Friday afternoon to go see my brother. In the past, we have only seen each other 2x a year (Thanksgiving and Christmas), but when the baby was born we promised each other that would change. This is my effort to see that it does. It's his 40th birthday. Amazing....I can remember it like it was yesterday when he turned 17. Here we are....both at the brink of 40....where does the time go?

I'm out of here! See ya later and have a blessed day tomorrow!

Happy Birthday to your brother! Enjoy your visit and your coming week off! I hope the next few days of school go well, too!

Good morning everyone!

I haven't been on for ages. Shame on me. :/
The PC at home works unbelievably slowly (it desperately needs to be fixed) and I'm not that patient to wait for half an hour to get Internet browser open. ^^
Anyway, it's my fifth day at home and I got use to my routine here just now. I will try to pop in more often now. :]
I hope everyone is doing well.
Best wishes, and happy June!

Good evening, Victoria! I hope you are having a lovely time at home!

Merry Morning!


How are you all doing? Things went ok at the hospital. The doctor that saw my son was very impatient with us as my son was scared at first. Usually a children's doctor will warm up to the child first and make them feel comfortable. She expected him to walk into an unknown room with a stranger and weird equipment and just cooperate! He is only 2!! Anyway we have to go back again in two months for a second screening.

On our way home, I decided to pop in to see my mother in law as we were in the area. That visit was hard work LOL! Within a few minutes she managed to make me feel bad about my parenting and myself. When she started bad mouthing Christmas, I really had to restrain myself. I did my best to smile and nod through out the visit but it's amazing how negativity can weigh you down.

So , it was a long day yesterday to say the least and I am trying my best today to just let go of it all !

Rant over LOL! Sorry I needed to let that out


Have a good day everyone!

Listening to a song I love called.....Sweet Tuesday Morning

Oh, Festive, I am sorry you had such a rough day yesterday! I hope today was much better! Praying the second screening will go better! {{{HUGS}}}

Good morning everyone.

I'm trying to read the forums when I can. I hope everyone is well. Brad, I hope your hand is better! Getting stung sure hurts! A few years ago a wasp got me when we were having a church work day, cleaning up the church's property. Right in the shoulder. I may have said a word one should not say anywhere, but especially church! my wife still gives me a hard time about that one.

Good luck on your speech this weekend!

And I hope everyone else has a great day!

Good evening, Ryan!

Good Morning!

I decided last night that I'm going to take off work for the rest of the week, sort of a mini-vacation. Tomorrow we are going to go to Hershey Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania and then on Thursday, drive up to Cedar Point amusement park, up in Sandusky, Ohio (never been there before) and stay there overnight till Friday.

Now, I must confess, I do not do rides (any more)....Not unless you want me to have my head shoved inside a bucket all day. Yup, I'm a hurler.... I used to get on roller coasters and the scrambler all the time, but ever since I have had 2 concussions in the past 10 years, I cannot do it no more, I get sick.... So, I'm the official pocketbook, sunglasses, hat holder....:thumbsup:

That's Ok I'm just happy being there, happy watching all the sights, watching other people, playing games and of course, eating fried dough, Turkey legs - Yummmmmmm

And I also like to drive! So any how, I'm bugging out of here around noon and heading home for the week. I hope you all have a wonderful morning~

Have a fun and safe trip!

I used to have computer internet like that, it was when we still went through our phone line. You could either be on the computer or on the phone but not both. Agonizingly slow.
Good to hear you are enjoying your time at home.

I still have that! The good thing is that it does teach one to have patience! *smiles*

Good morning!
It is going to be a bit warmer today with temperatures in the upper 70's. We may get a shower/storm later this evening.
I am heading out soon to pick up a few things at the supermarket. Back home afterwards to work on my daily chores and get some laundry done. I already can't keep up with all of the towels the girls are using now that they're going in the pool and hot tub every day.
I also have to go to a mandatory prom meeting later this evening at the high school. I wish I could skip it, this is the third year in a row that I'll be going. It's the same information every year but they won't give out the permission slip for prom unless a parent attends the meeting.
And we also volunteered to bird sit for a friend while she goes away to Florida for a few days. She has two birds and will be dropping them off some time today. We actually use to own one of the birds, it's a beautiful Sun Conure parrot. A few years ago one of my husbands co-workers found the parrot in his backyard. He couldn't keep it because his dog was going crazy. I offered to take him in until we found the owner. Well we never found the owner. I put ads in newspapers, online and called tons of pet stores to see if anyone reported a missing parrot. I honestly think someone let him out on purpose. Anyway, we ended up keeping him for quite some time but it was stressful having him with the cats and dogs. A friend of ours had a pair of Lovebirds and when we heard that one of them died we asked her is she would be interested in taking the parrot from us. She decided to take him and it worked out beautifully, the birds love each other. My kids are excited to see him again. It's going to be a zoo in here for the next few days, between the cats, dogs & birds!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Aw, a zoo would be such fun! I hope all the animals will get along! Have a great evening, HmG!

Weird! Ok, that worked!

I do have some sad news to report, we are going to have to say goodbye to Buster Wednesday morning. My hubby is taking him in. I can't hardly stand to think about it, but he is suffering now. He whines sometimes & he's having a hard time getting up from a laying position & he's hardly eating. I have been feeding him ham & dried beef the last several days, just to get him to eat something. The poor guy! It's time, but makes me !! He's lived a loooong life. (18+ years) I'll miss him & I think Gracie will be lost for awhile too, even though he totally ignores her! Sad day ahead...

Holiday, my prayers are with Buster and you! {{{HUGS}}}

Bless his heart. It's so sad to me that our beloved pets can't have a life span as long as ours. My Ben has been gone for two years now, and I still think of him every day.

Praying for Buster and your family.

I know what you mean, Brad! {{{HUGS}}}

I totally agree with you, Brad. My Ella still most days acts and plays like a puppy, but to get up in bed or the car, most of the time, we have to lift her. She turned 8 in April. Average life span for a golden retriever is 10. She is starting to show her age, as far as her hips goes.

I will keep Ella in my prayers! {{{HUGS}}}

Thanks! She has a tough week coming up next week - Tuesday she gets groomed & Wed she is getting fixed, micro-chipped & her rabies shot! Poor girl!

Aw, poor Gracie. Praying all goes well!

Good afternoon,

Another day of taking it easy, I did run out to get the Equinox's oil changed and pick up a couple things at the store. I am really feeling out of it today, probably because I have been sitting on my butt for the last 5 days so I think my body is getting lazy. I had plans to watch the movie "Nothing But Trouble" today but I played Jeopardy on my Kindle too long. I think I will be trying to head back to work tomorrow, even though I am still walking with a pronounced limp.
I have to pick up the boys soon, so I hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday.


ttyl

Praying your foot is better!

I love Jeopardy!

Found out that my union is allowing us to take an assortment of online courses for free. Our families can take them too. What a great opportunity. I looked through the list, [ and it is a long one] and finally decided to take a work related one for now. I started "Health & Safety in the Food & Retail Sector" I can take it on line and work at my own pace.

Found this chia tree with star light at thrift store today, brand new still sealed in box. Setting it up now so it will be ready for Christmas in July !

The star on top lights up and changes color. Excited to see how it will look. Going to put decorations on it .

Nice find!!!!

Are you going to call it a Chia-mas tree? :wink:
