Time to relax and chill is the best time of the day (or whenever you can find it). The day is going well and it is family night this evening with Chicken salads, garlic bread and baked small potatoes with a light onion sauce.

Happy Monday, all. It's a windy and rainy day here in Maryland. One of those days that makes me glad I work inside. Even though rainy weather tends to make me sleepy, I've had a very productive day today. Mainly because I feel too lazy to even take a break and stand up; I'm content just sitting here typing.

Well, have a good week everyone, and try to stay dry!

Everyone, have a wonderful evening. I'm heading home to let Miss Grace out, then to mamma's until my sis can get there.
STILL raining here....

Where can I download it from Merry?

It's not a free download ... you have to buy it on CD. (Unless you're an Audible member, then you can stream it for free.)

No, I'm wrong ... iTunes has it as a download, but it costs $11.99.

Also great is his reading of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"---that's probably not available anymore, 'cause I got it on cassette way back when!

Good morning MMC!!!! It sure is Monday!!!! (but that's ok, right?!) A very rainy Monday!!

What a weekend. We got my Mom home yesterday! YAY!!! I stayed with her last night, overnight. She went to bed shortly after 8:00 :eek: and within about 20 minutes she was ringing & ringing & ringing the bell on her walker. I went RUNNING in her room & asked what she needed?!?!?! She said "nothing, just thought I would see how long it takes you to come!!" Little sh*t!!! She's full of PNV!!! :) Trouble maker!!!! :p:D (I like it!)

On a much less happy note, our friends Dad who was admitted to the same nursing home my mom was in on Wednesday - also a neighbor & relative to my hubby - passed away. :(
One of my very good friends (the one I Christmas shop with every year & have "cookie day" with) - her Grandma passed away (which was probably a blessing) but also her cousin - 21 - committed suicide! 2017 is not starting well!!!

Despite all the sadness, there were some very happy moments as well! I do hope & pray you all had a great weekend too.

Have a great MONday!!!!

(by the way, I'm loving changing the number of days to Christmas on my countdown chalk board every day!!! :D)

So glad you have your mom back home! Very sorry to hear about your other losses, though. Things will have to brighten up for you soon.
 
Holiday said:
Thanks Merry!! Thing appear to hopefully be looking up! xx


I do agree, that was pretty eerily cool!!!


I do agree Merry, I've been seeing more cardinals - but that may too be b/c I've been on the lookout for them. After my brother died in 2012 - I saw several that spring. So comforting!


I hope & pray you are feeling better by now!! xx

Doing better today. Just a little bit of brain fog and a wee bit low on energy. But a big improvement over Friday.

We've been having some scary weather around here. Yesterday, we encountered the leading edge of a tornado while on the interstate. We had no idea it was coming, then we suddenly couldn't see the highway due to rain & wind, and we were going 75MPH. I was able to pull the car over with getting involved in an accident. The wind brought down trees into the interstate, but it was gone pretty fast.

We're still under a tornado watch for a few more hours. Sheesh. Y'all stay safe!

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

It was a crazy-weather weekend, but we made it through unscathed. It's still raining a lot, and it's supposed to be windy this afternoon, but the brunt of it has passed by. There were several deaths associated with the storm, and I pray for their families.

When Jacob was very young, he used to like a kids show called Little Bear. They did a show about bad weather, and Mother Bear taught him a quote: "Whether the weather be cold, or whether the weather be hot, we'll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not." I still love Little Bear, and I'll stop and watch a minute of it, if it's on TV. It reminds me of the early days of our life together. :)

I hope y'all have a great day! :D

I was thinking about you when I heard about the tornadoes in Georgia, I'm so glad you guys are alright. So scary. Sending up prayers for all who were affected. It's just starting to rain here and the winds are picking up. I hope it won't be too bad.
I love Little Bear, the girls and I watched that show all of the time when they were little. What a sweet show. I didn't realize they still play it. Hope you're having a nice day Brad!

I'm so glad your mom is home. That story about her ringing the bell made me giggle. I will continue to keep her in my thoughts.
So sorry to hear about your friends losses, sending up prayers for all <3
