Happy Friday!! Tomorrow I am having a garage sale at my cousin's house, so today I have been pricing items. Took longer than I thought it would. I hope everyone's weekend is awesome!!

Present and correct, Sir and/or Ma'am.

I had to go and redo the Norwegian Fjords - some muppet complaining that the plaid colour scheme was too close to Denmarks slipcovering and "they wanted to be unique"

Honestly, you do a country a favour and what do you get for your trouble??!!!!!

In the offering, Bing?
To be sacrificed on the Coffee Alter??

Seriously, though, thanks for filling in for the Crownster who just got back from the coast.
Everything is ship-shape but we will be going back and forth from now until early June doing work, so there may be more "filling requests"
(custard would be nice)

Wow! Always seems like we have taken a giant step forward in the count whenever I'm away like this!
In fact, I don't even know what our next milestone is. Will have to do some chart checking ASAP lest a marker slip up on us!

See you here tomorrow morning bright and er...erl...er......
Aww, shucks! Can't bring myself to say that word.
(Like Binger trying to say "tea" instead of "coffee".)

I hope everyone's weekend kicks off great!
Good to be back.

Good Morning, Friends!
Rise, shine and smell the weekend cof....er....tea.

Let's get straight to the count, as there is big news!
A huge milestone is just around the corner: the ONE HALF (and that's the same as half way, Yogi) mark to the Season.
Can't be, you say?
Well, if you check out our handy-dandy milestone marker chart found at post #1 of this thread, you will see it arrives May 15, LESS THAN 2 WEEKS FROM TODAY!
Merciful heavens, how time flies!

It is a beautiful spring morning here in Raleigh where we stand at a nice, comfortable 71 degrees at this hour.
Rain (and maybe some thunder) possible for today and the following two.

Have a Stupendous Saturday, Everyone.
And I hope your Weekend has gotten off to a Wonderous start!

It is bright and sunny here for now but rain coming back later. Got some shopping done this morning and doing laundry now. I get to babysit my niece here in about a hour so the rest of my day will be spent reading and playing games. I just hop that I can get her to sit down and watch the horses run the kentucky derby. Go Chocolate Candy!!!!!!!!(how can you bet against a horse with chocolate in his name) Hope you all have a good day.cheesy

Good Afternoon Everyone!
A beautiful day here today. Went to a few garage sales this morning...didn't find much really. Was hoping to score some Christmas "stuff" but nada! I Still had a nice time thou. Sis in law and I went out for breakfast with the kids afterwards. D/D had a Birthday party to go to this afternoon. I will pick her up in an hr. or two. I also wanted to share with everyone that I purchased my tickets to go and see David Copperfield this coming Wednesday. S/O has to work so he won't be able to make it. Tickets were a little pricey but so worth it to me as I have seen him live before. My daughter has an early out at school on Weds. so we will head out about 2pm do a little shopping, have some dinner and hit the 5:30 show. I would have liked to gone to the 8:30 show but she has school the next day. Will let you all know how the show went!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!
