[made582]

Its been sooo long i cant believe it!, i have had such a busy summer with work, with a new baby, with weddings, with travelling but im glad to be finally settled and focused on one thing only... Christmas!

Welcome Back!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

i head to my family doc today for a routine check of meds & stuff. i was suppose to go to my dermatologist to have my stitches removed but that's like 60 miles away so i'm gonna ask my doc today to remove them. the receptionist said he would not have time but i'm hoping w/ me being there i can talk him into it. also gonna see if he can give me something for this mess i got from my daughter. feeling terrible again this a.m.

I hope the doctor will remove the stitches for you and give you something to help out.

Good SeptemBER morning everyone!

Holy cow. Can it be? September! Woo Hoo! Its Autumn/Thanksgiving/Halloween/Christmas season! Busy traffic today due to the kids going back to school. We were in Kingsville on the weekend. Most people already have pumpkins and Halloween/Fall stuff on their houses! It was very nice to see such spirit. September 22nd is when my decorations all come out. Might put up a fall wreath on the door this week though. Hopefully Ill be making a trip to Michaels soon and take some pictures! Well time to go! Hope everyone has a great day. Carl mention something about a turkey dinner tomorrow night at the Pines! Has Carl made a turkey before? heh

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's once again going to be hot here in central Indy with a high near 90 today. Ugh. Come on fall. I'm starting my morning by listening to the new podcast. It's been great so far. I need to spend most of my day cleaning. If I actually do that or not is another question. I also need to work on my planning for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!

God blessed our family with a very nice holiday weekend at Myrtle Beach. It was hot and muggy but we cooled off in the ocean. My mom did well. She was able to take a couple of early morning walks on the beach. My son was able to take advantage of WiFi and skype his girlfriend who is away at college. (It has been tough on him being a junior in high school with his girl friend away). We only have dial-up internet and no cell phone service at our home.

Back at our mountain home, 2 inches of needed rain fell over the weekend.

Mom's days of taking long trips are probably over. The trip was hard on her. It was a 4 hour drive to the beach for dad, mom, and my brother's family, (7 hours for us). We are now praying that mom is able to attend the mountain fair in Asheville in 2 weeks. She wants to stay active as long as she can. She is tough and a fighter. It has been a 12 year battle with colon cancer.

Have a great day everyone.

I have been looking at fall decorations but have not purchased any yet. Kingsville is near Point Pelee which is where we are going next week. I think we may even take the ferry over to the island.

Yes, my mom is getting quite elderly and slowing down too. Long trips are not a thing she enjoys any more. (she loves going, just not the trip part)
My former sister in law and my nieces live in Asheville! Thier dad (my brother) is there visiting his girls now.

Your Mom sounds like quite an inspiration! God bless her.

Glad you all had such a lovely holiday weekend in Myrtle Beach!

Good Morning, Undrtakr! I just love when you start to see Fall & Halloween decorations!! Woohoo, we don't have to cook tomorrow night- Carl is feeding us all @ The Pines!! =]

Good Morning, Made!! C'mon Fall is right!! We got a little tease of it in the mornings over the weekend, then it would creep back up @ 100 degrees. 103 today...Ugh. Can't be much longer, though, right?!

Happy Holiday Planning today =)

Good afternoon,


Dr.'s check up went well, just have to wait for my cholesterol test to come back. My side excursion to the DVD trade shop was fruitful, I traded for Bad Santa, and a Benny Hill DVD. Goodwill has some good stuff, the Christmas stuff looked nice but nothing that jumped out at me. They did have a copy of the book Miracle on 34th Street and an ornament that I could get cheaper on Ebay or Amazon. I did pick up the book Jaws, and Beast for $.50 so I didn't come away empty handed.

The remnants of Isaac should be arriving soon.

Enjoy your Tuesday!!!!

My Grandfather used to take me to Point Pelee. We would have lunch at a spot called Sleepy Hollow!

hey y'all! happy labor day!

my daughter was sick last week & now i am too. yuck.
nothing planned today @ all. just want to feel better.....

I hope you are better soon, merry!

 

[Meceka]

Thanks Made !!.....Yep.. No bites !! I dont think it is gout either since I don't eat meat or sweetbreads or stuff like that....I am guessing it is just another form of arthritis.........Right now it is okey-doke but in the morning it will be swollen all over again...but hey, I will live. Christmas is coming, after all !!! xo

I hope your toe is better soon, CM3!

 

[Meceka]

I would be a TERRIBLE shop owner !! I would want to keep everything that is Christmas !! xo

You would be an excellent shop owner ~ customer service is what makes repeat business and I know you would go out of your way to please all of your customers. Just remember to always buy at least two of every item so you could have one and you would be all set cheesy

Good morning, Christmas family

Just up to see hubby off to work. I think I will catch a couple more winks before I get on to work myself.

Foot/toe is EXCRUCIATING this morning. In fact, I can't bear weight on my left foot. I am planning on calling my doc later today to see when I can get in. I doubt there is much he can or will do but nevertheless, I will ask. If my toe even bends just a little is it like someone sticking a knife right through it.

Anyway, I just wanted to stop by. It is onlh 6 a.m. and ALREADY 72 degrees here. Good Grief. That's NOT Fall weather. I hope the stupid heat will be outta here soon.

I hope everyone has a very Christmassy and magical day xoxo

I was so hoping your toe would be better ~ I will keep praying for you! Have a good day, CM3 {{{HUGS}}}

I'm glad you had a very nice holiday with your family and that your mom got to walk on the beach. What a courageous fighter she is! I will keep praying for her, mgramsey, and you, too! {{{HUGS}}}

I'm glad your appointment went well! I read both Jaws and Beast ~ good books. I like most of Peter Benchley's writings. Have you noticed that sharks have been in the news a lot of late? Scary! Have a great day, xmas!

Good afternoon, MMC!

It rained most of the morning ~ remnants of Isaac finally hit here. I'm not complaining as we really needed the rain ~ the garden is happy and I'm sure my pole beans will thrive now! However, I did have to rearrange my schedule. No moving furniture in downpours for me! Now that is set for Thursday. Tomorrow there is a chance for thunderstorms ~ 75 percent chance, in fact, so I will be staying home with the fur kids and working. The sun is out now and it is really muggy out ~ yuck! I have to get a few things done around the house and then I have to log into work for a few hours.

Have a MERRY day!!!
