Good Morning MMC!!!!! Another hot one here in central Indy with a high of 88 and high humidity. Not much going on here today. I ran to the grocery store this morning to pick up a few things before they went off sell. Then I went for a walk before it got to hot out. The rest of the day will be spent doing some work on the computer and trying to stay cool. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How fun, planning a Halloween party at your new house!!!!



Thanks! He is doing much better!! (Knocking on wood!) He wasn't too peppy at 1st when I got home from work yesterday, but by last night he was back to normal! Well, as normal as a 17 1/2 year old dog can be!! ;-) He's eating good & no more pukies!!



YUM! Our orchard (just up the road from our house) has been open for a month now, selling different types of apples. Started with baking apples. No cider yet that I have seen! My FIL buys 20 + gallon of cider in the fall & freezes it! Lol! He loves his apple cider!!



Well I hope you went back & bought some!!!! :grin: Which reminds me. We went to the winery in Put In Bay & I bought 5 bottles of Pink Catawba wine, & 1 bottle of Niagra. 2 of the PINK Catawba & the Niagra are for gifts, 2 Pink Catawba for wine tasting this weekend at the lake & 1 was for our wine rack at home. We get home & I opened up the box of wine & guess what?? They sent 5 bottles of SWEET Catawba with me, & 1 Niagra. None of us even tasted the Sweet Catawba - it wasn't even on the list! I sure hope it's good!!!! Go figure! Ah well...

DAWG - good to see you again! Welcome back!! Sounds like you're having a great summer!!!

Good morning all. Crazy busy at work today with two separate meetings going on. I am not a part of either, but lot of activity and preparation. I hope you're all having a good morning!

Snowflake, did I read correctly about a Halloween party? We're planning one too, although it will be heavily geared towards kids, so nothing too spooky. My son wants to make a little haunted house for his friends to go through, though. Should be fun! Get the jet ready and all of you can come then we'll all crash Snowflake's party. I just hope she isn't bringing Carl in to help plan it. I asked him advice for our party, and that crazy camel came up with some things that were NOT kid friendly ("Carl, kids can't drink that!" "Carl, if we set up that kind of slide off the roof kids will be getting hurt!") cheesy

Y'all have a great day.

LOL!!!! I can hardly wait to see what Carl has in store for the Pine's Halloween party if those were the suggestions he had for a kids party!!!
 
Speaking of Carl...

With all this talk about wine during the QVC watching, he's handing out this as party favors tonight:



Don't miss out...show up to the Pines tonight!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I spilled coffee in my keyboard yesterday, and some of the keys are sticking. That'll be my excuse for grammatical errors today.

Not much happening here today. This season of Elizabeth's dance class starts at 4pm on Monday and Wednesday now. It's difficult to get her there at 4pm, when school gets out at 3:25 and we're 30 minutes away. Plus she has to change. When Nutcracker rehearsals start in mid-September, we'll have to go every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, too. Whew.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Sounds like that will keep you hopping!!!! You will get it done - I have no doubt!

LittleCS just finished auditions for a part in "How to Succeed in Business without really trying" put on by our community players theater. She got a list of practice time and will be busy 2 nights a week and Sunday afternoons until the show starts. Which really means I will be driving her back and forth on Sundays because the city bus does not run then.
But for now, we have to wait and see if she got the part.

Good luck to little CS!!!

Thanks! I hope it's not too sweet!! We'll find out! :grin: This is our 1st ever wine tasting at the lake, so it should be interesting! We have wine tasting in the afternoon, then early evening my hubby & a couple other guys are making hamburgers, & then 50 lbs. of wings! YUM! We are using my BIL's big cooker. (it's big enough, you pull it behind your truck) - THEN we are putting the Bristol night race on the big screen Saturday night! Fun day planned!!! You all can jump on the jet & join us! :smile:

hot here too
I am working on a couple of cakes, getting some things done around the house and now also going to help someone a couple of times. So much to do, so little time! This is my only day off for the rest of the week, so I hope I can get it all done, it will get done I know, even if I have to stay up till midnight! Will have to phone those getting cakes to tell them they will be delivered later than promised.
We are also having a big off to college party for my nephew on Sunday. (one of the cakes is for this)
