Good Wednesday, Pinesday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

We had a power outage that affected most of the county this morning, and we're finally getting back to normal. I don't know what caused it, but it was obviously pretty serious.

I went to lunch with some of the folks in the office today. Unless a vendor or the company is buying, I usually go home for a sandwich, but I've decided to go with Russell more often. It's difficult to watch him already struggling with ALS. His right hand is so weak now, he can't open a door or eat with it, and he can barely write. Bless his heart, I wish I could help.

But, he's always in a good mood and interested in the job. I'm not sure I could be, in his position. He's a stronger man than I.

The kids went to another VBS last night, then they jumped in the pool when they got home. I don't know what time they came in, but it was way after I went to bed. Ah, to be young again!

I hope y'all have a great day! :D
Russell and his loved ones remain in my prayers~ Keeping you in mine, too. It's hard to see someone you care about struggle. (((Hugs))) God bless.
 
Happy Pines MMC and we are half way through June!! It is crazy! I just worked today and my brother left this morning to head back to NC. It was a nice visit. My oldest daughter has a pick-up soccer game with the high school girl team tonight so I am going to take her to that. Otherwise not too much is going on..see you at the Pines. Hope everyone had a good day!
Glad you had such a nice visit with your brother and his family! Hope your daughter has fun at the game ;-) see you at the Pines!
 
Hope you Wednesday is going well....so frustrating about the landscaping! I hope they can get it completed soon....darn rain!
Thanks, friend!
So far, the forecast looks good through Monday. I'm fortunately it won't dry out until Monday. Now there is rain forecasted then! Hope it changes by then ;)
 
A sausage link dipped into Twinkie batter and then deep fired? Not exactly what I was expecting from Carl. I like how he is serving it in a waffle cone filled with scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon pieces, and cheese though!!

Interesting concoction! Have you tried it?
 
Good evening, MMC!
Hope you're all having a lovely night. I'm just finishing my dinner before I head to the Pines.

The walk-through went great~
Our home looks so beautiful! It's amazing to see everything completed, and looking so spiffy & sparkly.
The last couple of weeks have been so stressful that I hadn't had time to concentrate on all of the wonderful time ahead.
We will come up with a punch list & give it to them in a few days. So far, all I'm finding is minor cosmetic touch-ups.
Gorgeous craftsmanship!
We have our keys! But we won't start moving until they finish our list/ early next week. Hopefully the OC will be issued by Monday.
Have a blessed night!

Continued prayers, friend!! Glad today was a good day! See you at the Pines! :)
 
Carl has a new product for all of you that wish you could take his special blends home with you!!

Only Carl would think of chewable coffee. A word of warning though, that two cups in every package refers to Carl size cups.

I can taste the grounds now...mmmmmmm.
 
Good morning everyone!
The day is off to a good start. I woke up to a really heavy rain, which was out of nowhere and a bit strange, but whatever. lol I then started to make coffee and breakfast. Henry was already up and running around the house with a brown blanket on his head, I have no idea why.:p
Then I remembered that today is the day I get the results back from my resident educator summative assessment(RESA). This is what all new teachers in Ohio have to do in their first 3-4 years in order to stay a teacher. The first 2 years are just going to some meetings and filling out meaningless paperwork. However, in year 3 there are 4 "tasks" which you have to complete. Those tasks range from making videos of teaching, uploading a bunch of files from tests, homeworks, emails, etc... Then you answer a ton of questions for each task. The process is done so that 2 tasks were due in December and 2 in April. You might remember me complaining about doing them.
Well, anyway, I am happy to say that I passed all parts of RESA!!! :D Year 4 of the program is just more meetings, but requires no actual work that I have to do. I am so happy and relieved to be done with RESA!!!:jump
A huge congratulations on passing the RESA tasks! A lot of people don't realize how much more work outside of the classroom that a teacher has to do. I wanted to be a teacher when I was little. Life took me on a different path but I still think it's one of the greatest jobs in the world.

Good Morning, HmG!
Happy Pines Day!
Thanks for the prayers <3
Harlowe has been doing pretty good for the most part, but she has been scared of the recent thunderstorms. So she didn't eat or sleep much last night, and my friend just texted that she didn't even greet her at the door today. Just stayed on the couch and wanted to rest. We are expecting more this afternoon, and we will be at the walk through. Poor pumpkin. Hope she doesn't get herself too worked up. Thank you for asking.
How is Maggie?
Sending hugs & prayers to you guys!
xoxo
Awww poor little Harlowe. I hope that she is feeling more energetic tonight. And I really hope that all that rain will subside so that they can complete your house and you can get everything sorted out. Have a great evening snowflake22 :)

It's nice that you were able to work out your schedule so that you could spend quality time with your brother visiting. Hope your daughter had a good game tonight.

Hey MMCers!! Happy Pines Evening! Can't wait to see you there! :)

New car is doing great. I'm feeling better about things! Taking a relaxing evening tonight-tomorrow is busy, but I get to go home to my parents' for the weekend for Father's Day, so that's fun. I hope you all have a great evening. Take it easy!
Happy for you that you found your new car so quickly and are enjoying it. And even more happy that you are feeling better overall and will have a relaxing evening.


My training of two new assistant managers is done. Tomorrow I can finally concentrate on my own tasks. Just watching some tv and trying to stay cool tonight. Everyone enjoy your Wednesday night!
