Good to see you again, Victoria!




I hope your son is ok, Festive! I'm lucky that my in-laws are very easy-going and they seem to love me, too. But I know how you feel. My first wife's (not a good story) parents both disliked me, and made it plain. Not fun. Prayers and best wishes for you and your son.



That doggone hand still hurts, but the swelling has gone down almost to normal now, thanks for asking. I was proud of myself, though. I was able to morph the phrase that started from my mouth into something closer to

:wink:



I enjoy people-watching and snacking in the shade at parks, too. I hope y'all have a good time!

Hope the pain in your hand goes away soon!

Weird! Ok, that worked!



I do have some sad news to report, we are going to have to say goodbye to Buster Wednesday morning. My hubby is taking him in. I can't hardly stand to think about it, but he is suffering now. He whines sometimes & he's having a hard time getting up from a laying position & he's hardly eating. I have been feeding him ham & dried beef the last several days, just to get him to eat something. The poor guy! It's time, but makes me :sad:!! He's lived a loooong life. (18+ years) I'll miss him & I think Gracie will be lost for awhile too, even though he totally ignores her! Sad day ahead...

Oh Holiday, words can't even express how I feel for you. I know it's going to be such a hard day for you and your DH, as well as Gracie. Know that I am keeping you in prayer, sending you lots of love, and (((hugs))). God Bless.

Bless his heart. It's so sad to me that our beloved pets can't have a life span as long as ours. My Ben has been gone for two years now, and I still think of him every day.

Praying for Buster and your family.

I totally agree with you, Brad. My Ella still most days acts and plays like a puppy, but to get up in bed or the car, most of the time, we have to lift her. She turned 8 in April. Average life span for a golden retriever is 10. She is starting to show her age, as far as her hips goes.

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the week with a high around 87 degree's. Just a slight chance of storms today so maybe I will be able to get out there and enjoy the porch tonight if it's not to hot. Other than that, nothing exciting going on here. Just the same old things. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, buddy! Weather is beautiful here. Not too hot today, but will be in the higher 80's tomorrow. Hope you're enjoying the day!

Well I got to enjoy about 20 minutes on the back porch before Bill found me. So I have retreated back inside now. LOL!!!

Merry Morning!


How are you all doing? Things went ok at the hospital. The doctor that saw my son was very impatient with us as my son was scared at first. Usually a children's doctor will warm up to the child first and make them feel comfortable. She expected him to walk into an unknown room with a stranger and weird equipment and just cooperate! He is only 2!! Anyway we have to go back again in two months for a second screening.

On our way home, I decided to pop in to see my mother in law as we were in the area. That visit was hard work LOL! Within a few minutes she managed to make me feel bad about my parenting and myself. When she started bad mouthing Christmas, I really had to restrain myself. I did my best to smile and nod through out the visit but it's amazing how negativity can weigh you down.

So , it was a long day yesterday to say the least and I am trying my best today to just let go of it all !

Rant over LOL! Sorry I needed to let that out


Have a good day everyone!

Listening to a song I love called.....Sweet Tuesday Morning

I love Badfinger!!!

Good Morning!

I decided last night that I'm going to take off work for the rest of the week, sort of a mini-vacation. Tomorrow we are going to go to Hershey Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania and then on Thursday, drive up to Cedar Point amusement park, up in Sandusky, Ohio (never been there before) and stay there overnight till Friday.

Now, I must confess, I do not do rides (any more)....Not unless you want me to have my head shoved inside a bucket all day. Yup, I'm a hurler.... I used to get on roller coasters and the scrambler all the time, but ever since I have had 2 concussions in the past 10 years, I cannot do it no more, I get sick.... So, I'm the official pocketbook, sunglasses, hat holder....:thumbsup:

That's Ok I'm just happy being there, happy watching all the sights, watching other people, playing games and of course, eating fried dough, Turkey legs - Yummmmmmm:munch:

And I also like to drive! So any how, I'm bugging out of here around noon and heading home for the week. I hope you all have a wonderful morning~

I hope you have a nice mini-vacation, I would love to go to Cedar Point, all of those roller coasters would be calling my name.

Good morning!
It is going to be a bit warmer today with temperatures in the upper 70's. We may get a shower/storm later this evening.
I am heading out soon to pick up a few things at the supermarket. Back home afterwards to work on my daily chores and get some laundry done. I already can't keep up with all of the towels the girls are using now that they're going in the pool and hot tub every day.
I also have to go to a mandatory prom meeting later this evening at the high school. I wish I could skip it, this is the third year in a row that I'll be going. It's the same information every year but they won't give out the permission slip for prom unless a parent attends the meeting.
And we also volunteered to bird sit for a friend while she goes away to Florida for a few days. She has two birds and will be dropping them off some time today. We actually use to own one of the birds, it's a beautiful Sun Conure parrot. A few years ago one of my husbands co-workers found the parrot in his backyard. He couldn't keep it because his dog was going crazy. I offered to take him in until we found the owner. Well we never found the owner. I put ads in newspapers, online and called tons of pet stores to see if anyone reported a missing parrot. I honestly think someone let him out on purpose. Anyway, we ended up keeping him for quite some time but it was stressful having him with the cats and dogs. A friend of ours had a pair of Lovebirds and when we heard that one of them died we asked her is she would be interested in taking the parrot from us. She decided to take him and it worked out beautifully, the birds love each other. My kids are excited to see him again. It's going to be a zoo in here for the next few days, between the cats, dogs & birds!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Quite the menagerie you will have for a few days, enjoy the birds and your meeting.
