Today's temp will hit 99 degrees then a cool down for the rest of the week into next week will be in the 80's. Supposedly there will not be anymore of the high temps of upper 90's or 100 after today. We will see! I have seen it in the 90's in October but I hope that is not the case this year!

I did end up watching, Rick Steve's European Christmas, last night. Sure did enjoy it like I always do!

I hope you all have a Merry Day!!!

I hope you keep cool and have a nice day CAH!

Happy Wednesday!

Just rushing through ... lots of work on my desk.

Happy Wednesday MerryCarey!

Good morning,

A quick visit this morning, I leave for work in 15 minutes. I get to work earlier than usual for coverage reasons. I really could use the usual time I have because I got an email from a possible job. It is something I have never done before but it is really intriguing me. I could use the time to send my resume, and officially apply for the position. I think I really want this one. Please send some good vibes on this one.

I have to get ready for the "funhouse."


Talk to you all tonight.


Your family is in my thoughts, Snowflake.

Keeping you in my prayers xmas, good luck!

Good evening,

I am losing the battle of eyelid here, so I think bed is calling me.

I forgot to mention with all of the excitement of Turtle that I picked up a new Christmas DVD last week. It is the "Family Fun Holiday Collection Movie 10 Pack" the one with "The Night They Saved Christmas.

I work my late shift tomorrow, so boo to that.

Goodnight, everyone.

Awesome find!!!! Hope you enjoy them! And have a good day!

Merry Morning and what a merry morning it is!!!!!!!!!

Happy Pines Day! I hear there will be some new autumn inspired drinks introduced by Carl tonight!

Not much happening today. I need to tidy the garden as it's covered in leaves. I also need to do the weekly shopping list and then some work.

Have a wonderful day my Christmas friends!

Have a great day Festive!! See you at the pines!!! Mmmm

Good morning, friends~

Happy Pines Day!! See you tonight [emoji4]

Wishing you a blessed Wednesday!

Wishing you a blessed day too! Sending many prayers your way ~ I hope everything goes great!

Good Wednesday (Pinesday!), my Christmas friends!

I worked on my part-time business after work yesterday till dark. The temperature has been hovering around 90°, but the humidity had me sweating like a turkey at Thanksgiving. Whew!

Nancy made tacos last night, and, I have to say, they hit the spot. I don't usually go for high-effort food like tacos. You know, you stand there for a few minutes building it just right, and it's gone in 30 seconds. Then you have to go back to the kitchen for another one. But, it was worth the extra effort last night.

My uncle is having a heart catheterization this morning, so I'd appreciate some healing prayers for him. I talked to him last night and told him that, after three myself, it's just a walk in the park LOL. He's still a little nervous, though.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Awe man - now I'm hungry for taco's!! Lol!
Sending prayers your way too - I hope everything goes very well for your uncle!!

Good morning all. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Thought I'd make this wondeful place my first stop this morning while the coffee is brewing. [emoji320]

Sunday was interesting. I went to get Bud's phone, came back during a torential downpour and find him sitting on the back porch writing in a notebook (yes, he still writes longhand in composition books), enjoying the storm. I sit with him for about 10 min while setting up his phone and then we hear a car horn from the road, which sets off our dogs. While quieting the dogs through the closed door, after they were silent, I faintly hear a woman's voice carrying and saying, "Someone should call 911!"

I turned back to Bud to ask if he heard the same thing. He says no, didn't hear her at all. I can still hear her voice carrying, then other voices. Where we live, I shouldn't really hear voices at all except for Wednesday's and Sunday's when the children are on the playground at the church adjacent to our property.

I walk around the side of the house and see a woman sitting in her SUV parked across the street in my neighbors yard, window down, on the phone with 911. I start to walk towards her quickly thinking she is the one in need of help, get to the front of the house and as a clear the corner I see why she stopped. There is a massive drainage ditch in our front yard because the road we live on is boardered at the west by a huge lake and on the east, ends at another tremendous chain work of lakes. When it rains, we flood, so there are drainage ditches and canals all through our property and down the main road.

There is a car, nose first, completely off the road having crossed from the other side, hit the ditch, rode it all the way down till he crashed head first into the embankment and pipe just before our mailbox and a tree.

He's incredibly lucky he only hit the ditch. If he would have crossed just 2 feet further than where he went off the road, he would have hit head first into the magnolia tree in our front yard. It's a tree which has been standing there since they cleared the property to build this house in 1918. It's a natural landscape landmark and while my reach is quite long, I cannot touch opposite sides of the trunk if I stand againt it with outstretched arms. This thing is massive. It would have done incredible damage.

About 45 minutes later while the fire chief was taking his notes and they were cleaning up the scene and we're still standing out there in the rain, he asked, "Are you the home owner?" I said yes. He said, "You're lucky, if he had been 4 feet further from where he was when he went off the road, he would have hit right there (points at the corner of our home) and plowed straight into your house. I would estimate he was going about 60 gauging from the damage of the nose of the car." (Speed limit on our road is 35).

The driver was heavily medicated, in his mid-40's, appeared mentally impaired, had no driver's license and had taken his grandmother's car to drive to the store. She didn't know it. His nephew showed up to collect the car, call a tow truck and fill in the officers.

I think the thing that bothered me most and sent my husband into a rage was some man who drove up in a car that is easily recognized in our neighborhood, because it looks like a cliche joke of a pimp-mobile and sticks out like a sore thumb - He parks half way in the road and partly on the street across from the accident, gets out, leans in to this man's window who is still trapped in the car, laughs at him, calls him a name, says, "You know your grandmama's gonna kill you right?" Then takes pics of the car and the man who is crying like a child, while he himself laughs about posting those on Facebook. That was disgusting! I thought Bud was going to kill him. He ran him off.

After the police gave us clearance to leave we headed back inside, soaked completely through and got ready all over again to join my parents for Bud's birthday dinner. LOL

Swamped Monday and Tuesday with work, so I thought I would make this place the first stop today before work starts again. LOL

You are all so wonderful and I appreciate this board a great deal!! [emoji319]

MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS!!

WOW! You did have an interesting day!! I'm glad the driver was ok! Have a great day graywolf!

MUCH cooler but very wet yesterday, although no more rain fell. The grass was simply too saturated to used the mower. Maybe today.
We have begun at 68 degrees here this morning in the capital city.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Friends!
And let's all meet at the 'Pines this evening to see just what Carl has planned for this second open house of September.
It's anybody's guess but bound to be both interesting and entertaining!
(And don't forget, that first glass of sweet southern iced tea and fired twinkie is on the house!)

Can't wait to see what Carl has in store for us tonight!!!!

Have a good day Crown!!!!

Just popping in quick, I have some chores to get out of the way before I head in to the preschool. l get to go in a little bit later on M/W/F, which is nice. I woke up with my daily headache, an achy back form carrying the babies around and a sore throat. lol I better not be getting sick already from that school!
Busy day, I have to take my two oldest to their school after work to take care of some student loan stuff. My two oldest decided to go to school to get their Esthetics license and go in to the medical end of it. They want to do laser treatments, botox injections and stuff like that. They start on the 15th and they're really excited. We also have to go to the seamstress at some point to have their uniforms altered.
I'll be back this evening. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!
