Good Morning, Itp!Good morning all! Relaxing morning so far, with coffee and breakfast. We are expecting storms today and they are saying some may be severe, we will see.
Henry likes when it storms, because he makes a "fort" in case the weather gets too bad.
Luckily, we got the grass mowed yesterday, so...let it rain.
Stay safe in the storms today!
Hope Henry has fun with his forts
I loved building forts to play in!
Happy Pines Day, Brad!Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!
The Grand Ole Opry was AWESOME! There were several acts, including The Whites, "Whispering" Bill Anderson, Tracey Lawrence, The Charlie Daniels Band, an awesome bluegrass group, and a couple other acts that I didn't recognize. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
We rode down Broadway, and you could hear bands playing in the various saloons as we passed. (I keep saying it, but we have to get the band back together!) We also toured a recording studio, and visited some old record stores for Jacob. The only meal we ate yesterday was at Hard Rock. Not bad, but $20 for a burger & fries? Of course, I'm sitting here posting while holding a $4 cup of house coffee from Starbucks. Highway robbery! Ha!
We're heading home today. I'm not looking forward to the 7+ hour drive, but it'll be good to see Bellville, and great to see Lulu! She's been staying with my mom, so I know she's been pampered. I hope she wants to come home! LOL
And I hope y'all have a great day!
So happy that you guys are having such an fabulous time!
The Grand Ole Opry sounds like it was an amazing experience, especially for a musician and music lover like yourself and Jacob.
Have a safe drive home!
I bet Lulu and your Mom are having a blast, too =) But I'm sure she still misses you guys and home like crazy. Hugs to her!
Have a great day, friend~
Yesssss!!@snowflake22
You and I both love scary movies. Jacob took me to see The Conjuring 2 for Father's Day (the girls wouldn't go). It was as great as the first one! Go see it!
^ Love this ghost ^
I bet you & Jacob had fun!
Thanks for letting me know! ...Now I really want to see it!
It looks very creepy, Adi and I will have to go!
Hope you have a great afternoon, Sam!Afternoon guys,
I popped in to say good morning earlier and never got the chance
Hope you are having a great day. Things are hectic especially as I also need to prepare things for my mums visit. Sometimes it's those little things that either take up all your time or you can't seem to find time to do them in between the bigger stuff.
Okay well must dash but Happy Pines Day!

....and sorry for not being able to keep up with posts these days. I don't mean to be rude or leave anyone out.
Preparing for your Mom's visit probably puts a big smile on your face
Have a lovely Pines Day!
I think that I'd rather have it be 85 and humid than 117 and dry lol. That just sounds like being in an oven.Dry heat is just as miserable in it's own right
Growing up in Wisconsin, I was used to humidity. Living in the desert for 10+ years, I got used to "dry heat" too. When it's 117 degrees, hot is hot! It's stifling, actually.
Very true!!
Good morning MMC! Looks like we are nearing afternoon. It's been a pretty quite morning here - power went out for a few seconds. Came back on long enough to reboot everything & then POOF! Gone again - for quite awhile! It wasn't weather related, it was an issue w/ the substation. Anyway, we are up & running again - and it came back just when I thought I was going to get to go home. Drats! 
Have a great day gang!

That is nuts, hope it didn't cause any damage.
It's good that it happened on a quiet morning, I guess.
Boo! That would've been a good reason to head home, too
Hope you have a wonderful Pines Day!
I guess. I think we are still a lot more humid at 20% than Phoenix, AZ.
It looks brutal out there ~120F.
Sorry you had such an annoying morning. Sounds like the substation went substandard.Good morning MMC! Looks like we are nearing afternoon.

Happy Mid-Week Prancer.Hello christmas friends
Good Morning, friends~
Merry Pines Day!!
Two more days of work this week, and then the fun begins
Adi, Harlowe, and I went to the house last night so we could see the progress he made yesterday. Wow! He really accomplished a lot by himself, bless his heart.
The utility room is all Halloween, Autumn, Christmas, and Winter decorations right now, on shelving units. Some of it has been on shelving units in the past, but for the most part it's only been the village pieces. It's nice to see things out. Adi pointed out that he doesn't remember some of them, and some haven't been put out in awhile! You miss a box, or whatnot, and there it sits. So we had to stop at Menards for more shelving units again last night. The last thing he asked me is how much more do we have boxed up? And it's quite a bit, lol- I think we'll be putting certain things back in boxes.
He is such a sweetheart, though. He was so excited to show me what he did, I didn't expect any of it. I figured he was just unloading boxes in the garage.
The landscaping is looking really nice so far! The sprinkler system is on schedule for today, and then finish up with the plumbing portion inside on Thursday.
If all stays on track, hopefully the appraisal will be Friday.
Harlowe got to meet her new Cavalier King Charles neighbor friends last night, Bella & Cooper. It went great! So cute to see the three of them together!
Sending hugs and prayers to you all.
Wishing you all a wonderful & blessed day!
See you tonight!

Merry Pines Day Star, hope you have a wonderful day!
Just over 2 1/2 hours left!! I think I can, I think I can...
No damage - just makes boss #2 SO MAD when the CNC's shut down like that. His face gets all red!! (It's actually kind of comical - only b/c he's SUCH a hot head anyway...) Since we had no electric both bosses left to do some running & the rest of us had a pow wow out in the shop!Good Afternoon, Holiday!
That is nuts, hope it didn't cause any damage.

Boo! That would've been a good reason to head home, too
Hope you have a wonderful Pines Day!
Here, no electric means no phones either, so it was VERY quiet!I brought Gracie to the groomer at lunch & got a few more things done for the pre-fest party tonight at lunch. Day is going well! Hope you are having a wonderful day too!
