So, does that mean we will have a bunch of CIJ events?

I can't wait! Anyone know about Hobby Lobby?

I think we should!!!!! The more the merrier right?

Hobby Lobby here has started!!!! I'll probably head back there this weekend to see what else they have put out since I was there 2 weeks ago.

Well like Holiday, I couldn't get on later last night and then again here a little bit ago. Hopefully that's not a sign that some group is trying to play Grinch again.

Good morning MMC! I tried to log on last night to catch up a little, but I couldn't get in! It has been quite a week - My Dad was taken by squad to the hospital Sunday night. He has pneumonia and he is losing blood somewhere. They saw a mass on his colon, and the ER doctor said she thought it could be cancer. But the surgeon yesterday and his PA both are cautiously optimistic that it is not cancer but rather could be a bleeding ulcer & the mass could be diverticulitis. His white blood cell count is good. Colonoscopy And egd [upper) scheduled for 1 pm today - concern is he was told many years ago to never ever let anyone stick a tube down his throat again. After his stroke it took 4 doctors to get a tube in. But - what do ya do??? His stroke 17 years ago effected his swallowing & he has had issues with swallowing since. And he was never allowed to have a colonoscopy before either because of his past history and being on Coumadin. It worries me that they might mess up his swallowing more by sticking that tube down there today! UGH! My niece spent the night last night, my sis went up early this morning & I am picking Mom up around 11 & heading there for the procedure. So please send up a prayer that all goes well! *** Thanks!! :smile:



Hope you are ALL doing well & I'll try to catch up later!!!!

I'm sorry to hear this, friend
Many prayers being sent up for you, your Dad, and your family. Hope the procedure today goes well. Please keep us posted. Hugs, strength, and support coming your way!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Like many of you, we've been getting some serious storms the last few days. My mom has several limbs broken out of her pecan trees, but a half mile up the road there are 100 year-old pecans that were twisted out of the ground or snapped off just above the ground. These trees are at least 3-4 feet in diameter. And a nearby barn was shredded, and the roof was out in the middle of a cotton field. I'm glad mom missed all that.

In Bellville, we've had a lot of rain and electrical storms, but no real wind, thank the Lord.

These storms are cutting into my swimming time!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning, Brad~

Stay safe in all of the storms, friend!

Hi guys! I can't believe it's almost 1/2 way here!!! I really, really need to get shopping!! I am planning to go to Michael's tomorrow to check out what they have... hopefully harvest stuff is popping up! My pumpkins just got flowers, which is one of my favorite things to grow. Just watching them come along through the hot summer days gets me excited for the fall!!

Hey judesmama!!

Hope you see some Harvest decorations at Michael's! I went to ours last week, and they had one aisle of Fall Florals! Made me smile!
I love that you guys grow pumpkins. Adrian & I want to try growing our own one day, too. May be calling on you for some advice!

Have a great day!!

Hey Judesmama!!!!! My Michaels and Joann's both have started putting out fall stuff. Mainly it's just flowers and garland but it's a start.

Well I just shaved off all of my hair and the beard so now I'm feeling pretty cool. LOL!!!!


Okay I didn't shave off all of my hair but it's pretty short.

Pumpkins are surprisingly easy! I grow them vertically and make little pumpkin hammocks for them! Now if you get squash bugs, that's a bit of a pain, but worth the effort!

Blah, just flowers so far?? The most boring of fall decor, I say... lol

That's good to know! Thanks!

I just looked up squash bugs. I've seen them before. They sound aggravating!

LOL, I can't wait for the village decorations, signs, pumpkins, and garlands. Won't be long, now!
