Happy Monday Everyone!!!

The grandkids will be here soon and not sure what the plans are yet. It will be too hot to play outside so we need to find some indoor fun to do.

Have a Merry Day my Christmas Friends!!!

I hope you have a wonderful day with your grandkids!

I have finally cleared out a small, small, small corner in the front room to access the computer, at least for a while. Right now I am using my iPad, but I will fire up the PC to use in a bit.

Made, and Ryan, too, I thought of you when I saw an article about state fair favorites, such as fried Twinkies. Well, the fairs in Oklahoma, Arizona, and California featured/will feature watermelon which was/will be deep fried and then covered with powdered sugar and a strawberry drizzle.

I will soon share some info on experiments/decisions regarding my medications and other "stuff."

Also, I have been hard at work trying to figure out some answers to our cooking situation and the remodeling process.

It's good to see you! I went to your page Saturday to send you a PM to check on you, then my computer punked out. Please come back soon!

So wonderful to see folks returning to the forums! I have not had much time to hang out here of late.
Our family is going through a major crisis and that is taking up most of my time. I come here to take a breather and am glad that there is a happy place to come to.

(((Thinking of you))) I hope things are straightened out soon.

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

We went to another county centennial program yesterday afternoon, and Jacob had to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. He looked so grown on stage in his sport coat & tie. We actually got lots of compliments on him after the program, even though his part was very short.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

MerryCarey · Aug 11, 2014

A happy Monday to you! I hope your week starts easily.

A bit murky outside earlier, but it's cloudless now! I hear we're going to get socked with rain Wednesday, though. It's okay, we had a beautiful weekend.

He's a good-looking young fellow! I'm sure you're proud of him.

What a handsome young man! Congrats to him for being asked to lead The Pledge Of Allegiance, I'm sure you & Nancy are extremely proud.

Have a wonderful day, Brad!

Good morning everyone.

Well, my dad hardly woke up yesterday. He is awake today but is not eating. The docs told us as the end draws near he will stop eating as his body just won't get hungry. I hope I'm wrong but I fear we are reaching that point. I will keep you all updated. As always I thank you for your prayers, kind thoughts, and support! You all mean so much to me!

Good morning MMC! It must be Monday! Dreary ol day in Ohio! I did not want to get out of bed this morning - it was a great sleeping morning! Ah well... back to the grind! Hubby is on vaca this week. Lucky duck. Flooring is hopefully going in now! They were supposed to be at our house right away this morning! xx
The weather this weekend was beautiful! We got a lot of bike riding in. The wings were delish Saturday night! We have plenty of leftover too! Mmmmm!
AND I finished painting. I might still need to paint some in the kitchen, but everything else is done! Wah hoo!!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Have a magnificent Monday! I'm hoping to catch up on some posts...
