Here comes Monday! I hope it treats you well!

My day off last Friday was a fizzle. I woke up with an awful headache that made me feel sick, and couldn't get rid of it until late afternoon. I didn't really feel well until later on Saturday. Oh, well. I'd rather have been home feeling sick than at the office!

I hope you are doing much better now!

I have thought to myself, that one day in the future when I'm a lot older, and I cannot physically put out all the Christmas and Halloween decorations any longer, that, if I have a condo or something, I could then put up a strand of Christmas lights outside on a small patio or something, leave them up all year long and just have a couple of small boxes to change out the light bulbs for the seasonal holidays~:merry:

I keep a strand of white lights on a shelf that is above my kitchen sink, white lights on a tropical tree in my living room and white lights on my fireplace mantle all year and light them up often. During the 4th I placed red, white and blue lights there and when fall arrives I add orange lights to all those places. It helps me keep that festive look year round.

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I hope I didn't miss anything important over the weekend, you guys did some serious QVC chatting!

My cousin has a vacation home at the coast, so I went with him Saturday to "test the repairs" on his boat. It was a good excuse to get out of the house and on the water. We had a great time just cruising, watching the porpoises swim alongside the boat. We ate a bellyful of shrimp for lunch, then cruised some more till a storm came up. We took the boat out of the water and hung out at his place till it cleared up. Then we washed the boat and came home. It was super!

Ed is not only my 1st cousin, but my best friend. We've played together in the band since we were teenagers, and we used to do almost everything together. Then life got busy with marriage and kids. I'm glad we're finally getting to do some things together again.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

That sounds like a fantastic time! I love porpoises! How cool to see them swimming along.
 
Yesterday my mom, grandchildren and I went to the museum and they have a temporary exhibit where you build cars, catapults, paper rockets and planes. After you build your projects you can try them out, race the cars and shoot of the planes, rockets and catapults. They have a paper plane launcher and I was having a blast with that. Ha ha! I still know how to make an awesome paper plane because mine shot off, passed the target and slammed into the wall. They said mine shot the furthest that day, so far - there were still several more hours left that day. I was just having too much fun! Oh yeah, the kids had fun too! :lol:

All this talk of kids going off to college and school is also putting a little anxiety on me. My youngest granddaughter is starting kindergarten and I am happy for her but sad for myself. I have been watching my 3 grandchildren since they were born while their parents work. I have had the pleasure to watch them grow. Yes, I get really tired and sometimes the days are long but seeing my youngest go off to school is making me feel a bit sad. I have enjoyed the time having the kids throughout the week. I will still get to see them because they live by me! So not sure why I am feeling the anxiety but I am just use to having them here more often. I am sure it will all be okay once we get into a routine!

I wish I could have joined in on the QVC banter more than what I did but I am happy you all had fun!

I didn't get to read as many post as I would have liked to, got a lot to do today so don't have a lot of time.

Made, thanks for putting up the non-related QVC post to catch up on. I know that took some work to go through all the post! =)
 
I forgot to mention but our mild summer is over for awhile - 99 degrees today and triple digits the rest of the week. Not liking that but so thankful for the mild temps we were having!!! I have never seen a mild summer last this long. I think all this part of Texas have been in shock! =)

I just saw an electric company commercial with Santa in it! They are having a Christmas in July sale.
 
Friends, I 've got a little something going at work....if you don't mind, I would appreciate a prayer if you got a second...could be a tough situation.

Sending prayers up!!! xx

Good Morning, Second Work Week Day Friends.

Pressing ahead into the week -- and into our count.

Days to the Season: 114
Days to Christmas Day: 156

And as the numbers themselves plainly reveal, the 100-day Season Window will open precisely two weeks from today and a double-digit Season count sequence will commence.
(My! We are certainly moving along briskly, aren't we?)


Cooler yesterday, but it came at the expense of rain, which will add to the humidity tomorrow.
(Oh well, things had been getting a little dry around here.)
Not a hard enough rain to test out the newly repaired gutters, however.
Perhaps today.
We are starting out at 73 degrees here this morning.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Friends!

Good morning Crown!!!
:hi:

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Wow, we got a lot of rain yesterday. I don't have a gauge at home, but several neighbors are saying we got almost 6" in a little over an hour. I've never seen Bellville underwater before, but it certainly was yesterday afternoon.

It's another busy day with visitors here at work, and the a/c unit in the main office quit working...of course! I have lots of folks piling up here in my office trailer, angling for space to work in the a/c. I'm popular!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I think my problem is that they kids will be busy with school and after school activities then on weekends I am very busy. Even though they live right by me I am not sure when I will get to see them! I need at least one day a week with them, even just for a few hours would be great. The way it looks right now it might only be once a month. We will figure something out!!! I know it will all be good!
