Hello, everyone! After two days of warm weather, we are now back in the 50, with clouds and blustery wind. It really seemed more like Fall today than Spring. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

I bought an outdoor pen for my guinea pigs so that they could run around on the grass and enjoy nibbling it. I set it up on Friday and put them in it. They were scared to death at first and squeaked like the grass was killing them. But a half hour later when I went to take them in the house again, they were squeaking because they wanted to stay out and eat more grass. Hopefully next time they'll remember the pen, and they won't be afraid of it. Maybe I can get a picture too. They're too cute!

I would love to see a picture too! My girls had guinea pigs for class pets when they were in elementary school. We got to take them home a couple of times. They are so cute!

Hope LC feels better!!
And that you & your wife can get a good night's sleep, too.

Hope JP is having fun playing baseball, sounds like he has some real talent too! That's very cool about your grandfather.
Did you play, as well?

Have a nice day off, friend.

I did play baseball, I was the best player on my little league team, but then after that year my family life went down the drain with my parents divorce, and moving to 6 different towns over the next 6 years. I didn't play again until my freshman year in high school, and I made the team in my sophomore year too. I did a heck of a job keeping the bench warm at that point. cheesy After my sophomore year I didn't care about baseball anymore, I was dealing with the death of my mother, and school didn't matter that much to me so my grades dropped badly and I wasn't eligible. I have had a lot of "what if" moments wondering if I had played every year from little league through high school.
I just want JP to enjoy baseball, I use my knowledge of the game to critique him and adjust his swing, but the throwing is still a work in progress, and the fielding will get better when he learns not to be afraid of the ball. I am not one of those parents who will pressure him to do it if he doesn't want to do it.

thank you for all your prayers and kind thoughts
After many tests it was discovered that she has several learning disabilities as well as the familial tremble. The Doctor has recommended her for the disability support program, now we just have to wait for all the paper work to go through. She and I both are so relieved.
Now we pray the folks at ODSP agree.

Good evening!
Another busy day here. I had a bunch of errands to run, lots of chores to do and I spent some time at the rehab center. My father is going to be evaluated tomorrow so a decision can be made about whether he is ready to go home or not. Keeping my fingers crossed, he really wants to go home.
I hope everyone is well and had a great day!!

Wow, what an ending to the day.

It was a long day today, LC was up most of the night sick, he caught some sort of stomach bug and lets just say it wasn't pretty. I didn't get a good night's sleep, and my wife got less than I did, the boys always want mommy when they are sick. She stayed home with him today, and being my day off tomorrow I will keep him home for an extra day. Work was the same, busy busy.
JP had his first baseball game this evening, he hits the ball very well, he has a beautiful natural left handed swing, he just has to learn how to field and throw better. Baseball runs in the family, my grandfather turned down a contract from the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1940's so there is some talent in the bloodlines. cheesy

I hope you all had a great Monday.


Good night, friends.

I really hope LC feels better soon, stomach bugs are horrible! Sounds like JP had a memorable first game, I am sure his talent will continue to grow.
 
Good Morning!
I feel like I am starting a new phase to the year today. My husband has been unwell for some time now and he has been off work recovering. Today is his first day back at work. His work has been very supportive. They are making him take it easy by returning to work on just a few hours this week and gradually build his hours back to full time over the next few weeks. . So this is very reassuring for us.

I am grateful for his improved health and I welcome the return of our previous routines. We are getting back to normality :) I have to admit it will be a change not having him around as much though :)

How is everybody?? I have a day of housework to catch up on today. I think I will have to split the chores across a couple days as I have my tornado of a toddler to look after LOL and I have to pick up my other son from school in a few hours.

Well have great day everyone and catch you all later!

Sam xx
 
Good morning!
It is going to be mostly sunny today and cool, highs near 60 degrees.
The dogs have an appointment with the groomer this morning. I am going to the supermarket for a few things while they are there. Then back home for daily chores. My youngest has to work later this afternoon so I need to cook dinner early, I want her to eat before she leaves. I'm going to make a pot of sauce today and I think I will pick up fresh raviolis for dinner while I am out this morning. And I will pop in to visit my father at some point.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day :-D
 
Good Morning, Folks.

Welcome to day two of our week.

Welcome also to the latest count figure:
Days to the Season: 183
Days to Christmas Day: 225
And TOMORROW, it will be "Welcome to another Milestone"!

Yes, Friends.
May 15 marks the HALF WAY point of our journey back to the Christmas Season.
Fifty percent of the long trek is nearly behind us. Incredible!
(Will the 2nd half seem to go as fast as the first half did? I think you know the answer to that question!)

Still the cooler weather yesterday and it was downright cold last night, with the low in the 40's.
Should be warmer today then MUCH warmer for Wednesday, as summer will make an early appearance.
We have 44 degrees here at this hour.

Have a Terrific Tuesday in all of your endeavors today, Everyone!
