[Holiday]

I wonder if this was the person in front of you. cheesy

cheesy :lol:

Great pictures of yesteryear! Thanks for sharing.

Sure!

Sorry to hear your phone isn't working.

My hubby left it with our tech guy last night....but I have a feeling it's a loss! I'll find out today! xx

Good evening,

Ever have one of those days where it seemed the clock was going backwards?
It was a slow go today, but we got a lot done.

I am struggling to keep my eyes open at this point, I have to try to visit MMC earlier.

Goodnight, everyone.

I hope your day at work goes faster today!!! Have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Thanks, buddy~
The storms kept me up most of the night., I need coffee!!
Praying for you, too!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's going to be another hot 85 degree day here with a slight chance of storms this evening. I hope it does rain personally. I'll probably go stand in it if it does. LOL!!! Not to much planned for me. Just need to clean up around the apartment some more to get ready for everyone to come for mother's day. Of course, that will probably change at the last minute and we will end up at my sister's because she will have some excuse to drive in here. I also want to go ahead and cook some stuff up for dinner this morning so I don't have to heat up the apartment later when it's so hot out. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning, again!
Hope you can keep comfortable today!
I'll send you some rain =]

Hope you can get a lot of prep done for Mother's Day! Bless your heart, friend.

Have a great day!

This may - or may not - make you feel better. We found my Dads pay stub from the day my sister was born 12/5/63 - can you imagine feeding a family of EIGHT on this??





"old age benefit" That cracks me up! :lol:

Ran that through the inflation cost of living calculator.
$84 in 1963 = $644.33 in 2015 dollars X 52 weeks = $33,505 for a 2015 annual salary.
(Still rough if you have 6 kids, though!)

It sounds like you'd enjoy it, so I hope you get some rain. Let us know when supper's ready! cheesy

Good Morning MMC !

it is the middle of May and we are having a heat wave !!! going up to 31c (88f) today. It never gets this hot so early in the season. There is even a special weather statement out ....

First taste of very warm, mid summer weather today.
The warmest air so far of this year is being ushered into Southern and Eastern Ontario by southerly winds. Under the strong may sunshine, temperatures this afternoon will reach the upper twenties to low thirties in most areas, making it feel much like mid summer. The first occurrence of 30 c or higher of the year is expected at many locales as a result.

and I have to be dressed in black from head to toe for work

I need to find a good potato salad recipe for the bbq tomorrow.

have a fantastic day everyone!!


​

Good morning CS!!! Stay cool today & have a great day!

I love the tater salad recipe...

Carols Potato Salad
6 Med. Boiled potatoes, diced
5 boiled eggs, diced
½ C. Onion
½ C. Sugar
3 slices cooked bacon pieces
Miracle Whip (to taste)
Salt/Pepper
Celery Seed &/or chopped celery

Mix together & chill

Good Morning, Weekend Eve'ers.

Yes, we have once again arrived at that point in the week where things start to relax a bit and unwind.

But what else is winding down?
As if you didn't know:
Days to the Season: 189
Days to Christmas Day: 231

One single, solitary, lone week from today, Guys -- the 50 percent Milestone to Christmas Season 2015.
Yes, it's true -- believe it or not.
(And of course, here you've got to be a believer!)


The weather?
Still fantastic. (We are getting spoiled mighty fast!)
This morning has started off at 60 degrees here in central NC.


Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And enjoy the commencement of your Weekend to the hilt!

Enjoy the weather & have a great weekend!

Good morning, everyone! A Friday morning!

I thought I would have plenty of time to visit and make some posts this morning, but the dreaded page not loading issue happened to me again. It seems to shutdown from 9 to 10:50am. It's strange.

I am at Rockland today. It's my first time teaching the high school kids here since last June. For this morning, I have only been in the Student Success lab, so I really only have to make sure that students are working on things. It's a pretty easy job. This afternoon, I have half a gym class and then one full class. No complaints. It has been an easy day thus far.

Well, the lunch bell will be ringing shortly. Everything is much earlier here. The 8:20am start is a little difficult. Although I do really enjoy getting out at 2:30!

It's another beautiful day just outside of Canada's Capital. Temperatures are suppose to rise to above 30c/high 80s. Just looking outside makes me excited. There still is not a cloud in the sky.

Have a great Friday, everyone! We're almost at the weekend.

 

[Holiday]

Good morning everyone!
Happy Friday!
I have to do some shopping today. I'll be heading to the mall for a Mother's Day gift. I also want a new outfit to wear on Sunday. And I have to go over my menu plan and grocery list for our Mother's Day brunch. Other than that I'll be working on some chores around the house.
I hope everyone is well and has a beautiful day!

Good luck! Have fun shopping!! Have a great day HMG!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

My mom keeps texting me pictures of the water on the NC coast. I've always been a mountain man, but that water sure is pretty!

We took Elizabeth to dance yesterday afternoon, and I went by Lowe's while we were waiting on her. I wound up buying more tomato plants for the garden, including some expensive Cherokee Purple tomato plants. I just love fresh tomatoes! But I have to stop investing in this garden, or I'll have $200 in it soon. Whew.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I love shopping for tomato plants & I love fresh tomatoes! Can't wait! I bought SunSugars, Beefmasters, Mortgage Lifters, Amish Paste, Mr. Stripey & Better Boys...but I didn't see any Cherokee Purples! ENJOY!

Hope your Mom is having a great time....cheesy

Have a great day Brad!

In the words of the late, great George Jones "It's finally Friday!" I apologize for not being able to post very much lately, but today is my last day of work for over a week. We will be headed for vacation tomorrow morning. I'll try to post more in the next week. I hope everyone has a great day and weekend!

Have a safe trip & and awesome vacation!!!!

Sounds like you're having a great day of teaching at Rockland.
Enjoy the beautiful weather =]
Hope that you, Kim, and Simon have a wonderful weekend!

Ah yes, the busy Mother's Day Weekend! I'm going shopping today for coconut cake fixings and corsage, and then tomorrow I can make the cake and maybe take Mom to the church flea market (which she loves). Sunday I'll take her to church if she can go, and then we'll have a fancy lunch for her at her house. My sister is also going to pick up a bunch of plants for Mom's outdoor hanging planters, so that should make her happy.

Did I say Happy Friday, yet?! [emoji1][emoji16]

That's pretty cool!!!!

A family of eight? Heck, you wouldn't even be able to take you all to Mcdonald's for that now of days!!

No kidding ~ that's 1 pair of good running shoes!!!
