It really was, and it even had a nice surprise. The new windows were too expensive for Nancy and me to be able to buy one. At that time she was home with the kids, and wasn't working at all. Anyway, after I read the dedication for our family window, I sat down. Then they called me up again. Apparently, Dad bought another window with Nancy & my names as the givers.

He's been gone 7 years this month, and he's still surprising me.

Oh, my this is a wonderful post! It has to be one of the best things I have ever read ~ your dad is touching so many hearts today, Brad! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!

Good evening, MMC!

Okay, I found enough energy to make to make the apple muffins. Now my apartment smells like heaven or at least what I hope heaven smells like.

Yummy!

Hope all is well with everyone. I know I say it time and time again in my posts, but I do miss catching up with all of you. With DH being more busy with his work, that makes things more difficult for me to gets things done too, like getting on here. Miss you all!

I hope things slow down for you soon!

I am glad that last week is over - it was hectic. This week is just going to be busier because I have a dentist appointment and some extra things to do for work and school. I feel like I don't get much time to relax! The weekends need to be longer, if you ask me :]

Get some rest so you don't get sick again!

thank you everyone for the Thanksgiving greetings!
Undrtakr, love the pictures! Got home from our dinner and realized I totally forgot to take pictures!

We had a great dinner with family. Enjoyed turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, brussel sprouts, meatballs, cauliflower, pickled beets, onions and pickles. For dessert we had pumpkin cheese cake, pumpkin pie, rhubarb, strawberry pie, apple crisp and buckets of whip cream, and ice cream.
Mulled apple cider, tea, coffee and assorted cold drinks were used to wash it all down.
We talked, played with the kids, talked, played games, talked, arranged the family Christmas party, talked, closed the door to the living room because the guys were talking louder than us women in the kitchen!

In other words, we had a great time!

my b-i-l's mother passed away last evening. they had went back home on friday morning. his brother called him yesterday & said to come back, their mothers breathing was very bad. he got here & saw her & about 10 minutes later she passed. i am so thankful he was able to see & speak to her before she left for her heavenly home. her name was Maggie Lou Stacks. she had 2 sons, 2 daughters, & made a career as a beautician. had numerous grands, some she helped raise. over 5 years ago she was diagnosed w/ Alzheimer's & had gotten really bad. she was 1 month shy of turning 90. Miss Maggie had a very full life. i don't think she would want anyone to be sad now.so i'm just gonna be happy for her & pray i live that long & happy.

Good Monday Morning, Friends of the Season.

Back from the beach and back in the saddle!

To start with:
A big thanks to Brent for not only carrying on the countdown without a miss, but also seeing us safely past our final Season Milestone, the 90 percent Home Stretch mark.
Now, the final coasting has begun as we move in on Christmas Season 2012!
Days to the Season: 36
Days to Christmas Day: 78

Great weather at the beach and we got everything done to winterize the cottage for another year
Sad to close down, but we really don't much care for the beach in the winter.
Brrrrr!
(You haven't really felt cold until you are hit by a coastal wind with the temp below freezing!)

I read 52 degrees here at this hour and it's not predicted to get much warmer all day as a brief cold spell moves in.


May a Marvelous Monday be yours for the taking, Folks!
Keep the light of the Season shining always at your feet to guide you.

Kudos to Brent !!! I could NEVER do the countdown !! and nice to see you back Crown ! xo

i got up BEFORE the roosters this morning! hubby woke me in a panic. scared the bajeebers outta me, the dishwasher had flooded the kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got all over him for that. as long as it's not someONE it's ok. besides seeing him so upset, i had to stay calm, ya' know? he said, "you'll have to get the mop to dry it up". now let me tell y'all, my mop is a rag head mop about 12" long & my kitchen ain't small. do you have any idea how long i would've been there doing that w/ that little mop????? i'll tell ya', TOO LONG! i went & gathered towels & started soaking it up & squeezing them out & soaking more up. bless his heart he started helping me. it was up in just a little bit so here i am now, wide awake on my 2nd cup'o joe.

daughter is out of school today for Columbus day & assuming i didn't have to get up early this morning, i stayed up till midnight watching TV. i think i may be dragging in a bit now.

our choc.lab, Maggie(coincidentally same name) hurt her leg last week some how. Seth noticed her limping & we checked her over & found a single puncture wound on her front right leg. this is hubby's pup & he wasn't here. w/ seth's help i cleaned the wound, put salv on it & covered it w/ the top of 1 of hubby's socks. she is the sweetest thing & i can't stand to see any of them hurt. we didn't play ball w/ her because no matter how bad she's hurt she would still try to run & jump. her limp is almost gone now & the wound has healed over on the outside.
she's our gentle giant. she probably weighs about 100lbs. & in the a.m. when we feed them all she stands right over the food, her head up, looking around, & lets' Daisy, Diva, & Mickey eat. when she knows they're finished she'll look around 1 more time & then she will begin to eat. God love her, she is so sweet. our cat, Holly doesn't like any of us (lol) but Maggie. Holly will get on her stoop & if any of them come over she hisses & swats @ them w/ fangs showing, but not w/ Maggie. Maggie will put her face up to Holly & Holly will lean over & lick her & they rub faces. precious!

wow, i am really talking this morning huh? sorry. on saturday & sunday i have no one to talk to because hubby & Seth are watching football ALL DAY, daughter is usually gone, & Will is @ work.i have to catch up w/ y'all!

have a blessed day friends!!!!!:merry:SIZE]

(((MerryMistletoe))) I am very, very sorry for your family's loss xoxo

Oh, I was just thinking how I am hungry already this morning (for lunch) - Thanksgiving dinner sounds absolutely delish! I will be over!! :grin: I'm excited for you all celebrating Thanksgiving today!



WELCOME BACK!!! Glad to hear you had a great time!!!



Buster is around 16 1/2. When we got him in Sept. of 1996, the vet thought he was about 6 months old. So I always say his birthday is March 15, 1996 as March 15 is our wedding anniversary & we can celebrate together. Lol!

Special (((HUGS)))) for Buster xoxo

 

[caninemom3]

Our cat adopted us in 1997. The vet told us she was about six months old, too. We celebrate her B-Day in January. Love that cat!

Awwww...What is your kitty's name ???? xo

Wow. I bet there weren't many dry eyes in the church. You were blessed to have a dad like that. I hope I can be that kind of parent for my son.

 

[caninemom3]

Welcome back, Crown! Glad I could fill-in. My apologies for not being so timely with the posts. I couldn't find an internet connection and had to post from Kim's data plan on her HTC phone. Myself and androids do not get along very well, apparently.

Brent I think you did an amazing Job !!!!
