Well, that was fun! I went out in my front yard to check on my plants wearing flip flops and stood right in an ant pile. My feet were covered in ants. I bet the neighbors were wondering why I was dancing in my front yard.

Yep, that's about how I looked too!

Good morning!
It's another chilly morning with temperatures in the mid 30's, we will have a high of 55 today.
Typical Monday, spring break is over and everyone is back to school and work. I need to run a couple of quick errands and get started on daily chores. I'm making chicken tortilla soup for dinner and I just realized the recipe calls for lime juice, so I need to pick up a couple of limes at the supermarket. I swear I'm in there practically every day for something I forgot to buy! My oldest has a follow up appointment with the ENT later this morning. And I need to take my youngest shopping again this afternoon for prom shoes. We went the other day but didn't find anything that she liked. The gown came in and she is scheduled to have alterations this Thursday so we need the shoes!
That's about it for me, I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Good afternoon, HMG! Hope your daughter's appointment went well and you were able to find shoes for your other daughter. Continued prayers for Maggie.

Good Morning.

New week -- new count figures.
To wit:
Days to the Season: 206
Days to Christmas Day: 248

And the numbers tell us that we are now under 1 week away from the 200-day Season Window.
What's more, only five days separate us from the 1/3 Christmas Day Milestone.
(Moving right in there!)


Still coolish yesterday but sunny, calm and dry. Not really too bad for mid April, with lots of blooming flowers out.
Should be a nice week here with highs in the 70's and only rain predicted for one day toward mid-week.
We are at 46 degrees here right now.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Friends.
And I hope your week is off to a rousing start!

Hope you're having a great day, Crown!

Good Afternoon, all! Got a late start today, and I've been rushing around ever since. I hope everyone had a great Easter. Our Church was lovely, and the service was very uplifting. Afterwards, Mom and I went to my sister's for dinner.....which was also lovely and uplifting! Such a good meal-lamb, ham, peas, corn, cheesy potatoes, etc. etc. We ate ourselves into a food coma, then napped and watched The Veggie Tales; Pirates that Don't Do Anything movie. At least, I think that was what it's called. It was very cute.
Well, have a great day, everyone. I'm just about done at work, and I'm going home to eat leftovers.

Good morning! I have a really bad case of the "I don't want to go back to work today" blues!!! It's supposed to be a gorgeous day (75º) - ahhh, why didn't I take this day off?? Lol!!!

Gracie was hiding under our bed this morning - I drug her out from under there & she had the hiccups! She didn't eat this morning so I put her food in the cage with her. She was chowing it down as I was walking out the door for work when I heard her throw up! UGH! So I got that cleaned up & put a new towel in her cage for her & I was about 5 minutes late to work. Maybe it was just too much Easter candy?? Ha ha ha! (This made me think of LC :smile

Hope you all have a Wonderful Monday!!!

Good afternoon, Holiday. Hopefully after work, you can get out and enjoy the weather. Hope Gracie's belly is feeling better! Ella occasionally does that too!

On a side note - my sisters shredded ham was delicious yesterday! It almost tasted like bbq beef! Everyone liked it & asked for the recipe. :grin:

Glad to hear you guys enjoyed it! I saved the recipe. I can't wait to try it.

 

[sugar142286]

I remember my girlfriend having to do that, we had a big celebration party when she was done. She has been cancer free for 3 years now!

Congrats to her and God Bless!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

Wow, I'm certainly gratified to see the sun shining this morning, it was such a wet weekend. My rain gauge is broken, but my uncle who lives nearby said he poured 4" out of his gauge Saturday afternoon.

We had a great Easter! I ate too much at mom's, the waaay too much at Nancy's parents'. We hid eggs for our nieces & nephews, then made it home in time to crash on the couch.

I hope everyone else had a super Easter, and I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Sorry to hear you guys such a crappy weekend weather wise, but it does sound like God did bless you in family and fellowship. Glad to hear you guys had a wonderful Easter. Hope you're having a great day!

Well at least you gave them all a laugh!!!!

Good morning everyone!

I am off to work, hope you all have a fantastic day!

Hope you're having a great day, Star and work is going great too!

 

[sugar142286]

Thanks sugar!!! :smile: Hope you are having a great day!!!

We're having an awesome day, thanks!

 

[sugar142286]

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be another beautiful day with a high of 77. I'm going to try and make it through the day without turning on the A/C, it's going to be pushing it though. Then rain moves in this evening. I have lots of stuff to get caught up on today. I've already got laundry going and should hit the dishes here soon. Then running the sweeper, mopping, and all of that other good stuff. All I really want to do is sit here though. It's been a busy past 3 days. So I guess we will see how much I really get done. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, buddy! Hope you've had a productive day, but you've also been able to relax.

 

[sugar142286]

No they didn't. We had to go play on the swing set, blow bubbles, and draw with sidewalk chalk.

My kids had to do all that too, but they also had to throw in riding their bikes!

 

[sugar142286]

That's a bummer!!!! You know you always have an open invitation here!!!

Thanks! Same at my place!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! On Saturday we went for our morning walk at the Arboretum then Wayne and I went to pick up my dad for a trip to the historic Downtown McKinney, Texas. While looking around the shops, look what we saw! (Picture below). Don't you love discovering Christmas stuff in the spring??? It was a small section but a pleasant surprise! After that we went out for lunch. That night was our annual tradition of watching the 10 Commandments. Have it on DVD but it's a must to watch on TV! =)

Wayne and I went to Easter church service Sunday morning then headed to work just to feed the animals but we were closed for the day. We left from there to pick up my parents and treated them to Easter lunch. Came home and chilled out for the day.

My grandchildren were in Galveston, Texas for the weekend so I did not get to see them on Easter. They will be here today and I will give them their gifts then. They had a blast!!!

I hope you all had a beautiful Easter weekend!!!

Glad to hear you guys had such a lovely Easter weekend. Enjoy your time with your grandchildren today!

 

[sugar142286]

Awe - sorry to hear that about the food. You should have come to our house...PLENTY of leftovers!!! I hope you can convince your Dad to let you have Holidays once your basement is done!!!

Thanks!

I don't think it will be a problem. He seems more and more stressed every year. I know he likes to do it, but with our family growing, we just don't have the room at my parents and we will at mine.
