Sounds like a fun day!

Bummer about getting up so early...either lots of coffee or a Nap at the lake?

Thank you so much, snowflake! {{{HUGS}}}

I love Menard's, too. There are pictures on my cell that I took of The Enchanted Forest for the Blossoms thread from last year. I still haven't figured out how to send the photos to my email. Guess I can delete them and take new ones this year. cheesy

Thank you so much, HmG! Keeping your fur babies in my prayers! {{{HUGS}}}

My friend Monica had at 2:30 a baby girl 7 lbs 11 oz , 19 in
Thanks for prayer will post pictures soon

Congratulations to Monica on the birth of Piper. Piper is a cutie!

Good morning all! Hope everyone has a great day!

I have to work on websites and shopping carts and go get my husband's replacement phone, then meet my parents for dinner and their and Bud's favorite restaurant to celebrate his birthday from last weekend. Will be the first one we celebrate without our son present. Super weird, but by the time Noah gets back, Bud will be on tour again.

Right now I'm trapped in a recliner with a Moose in my lap. Oh woe is me, the shopping cart will have to wait till Moose's nap is over. Boohoo... *sniffle* [emoji316] [emoji319]

Happy Birthday to Bud!

I figured to make this a separate post...

I was notified yesterday by my brother that my mom's husband Bruce's brother had a massive heart attack yesterday morning at his home near Atlanta, GA, and ultimately passed away. He was only 56. Kim and I just saw Glen last summer in Ottawa. He was always in a positive mood and definitely made you smile with kindness and his inherited southern drawl that he developed over the past 15 years.

Sad stuff. I don't like talking about these things too much but I know that you, friends, always help make everything better. I will be fine. Please send all your thoughts amd everything to Bruce and his family. He's had a rough time in the past five years or so. He lost his dad, mom, and now brother. His entire immediate family is now together elsewhere. Bruce also doesn't have any kids. Poor guy.

Again, thanks for everything, friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Brent. Keeping Bruce and his family in my prayers.

Oh wow!!! 8 weeks! This is our first year without cable so I am sad I won't be able to watch all of the Hallmark movies, although a lot are on Hulu and Netflix, I believe. I might have to get Amazon Prime just to cover all of my Christmas movie bases

I can't get any of those channels or services because of cost/where I live. Hoping there are some good deals on DVDs this year!

Well, Adi's truck had problems, part of it caught fire, and he's on the side of the highway waiting for a tow truck. He was coming back from up north. Could've been much worse, thank God he's ok. Please keep him in your prayers!

I'm so glad that Adrian is okay and made it home safe and sorry about the truck. Praying things will work out! {{{HUGS}}}

Now that Turtle is here I can tell you how he came to us.

I am not a dog person, I never really have been. I haven't had a dog since I was 15-16 years old. My wife and her family are dog people, my wife has wanted a Chocolate Lab for years.

Turtle is a Chocolate Lab, he is 6 years old and from Tennessee. We received a text from a friend of my wife with his picture, telling us his furparent needed to find a new home for him. His furparent had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and was only given 6 months to year to live, and Turtle was becoming too hard to take care of.

We contacted him and started asking about Turtle, learning about him and asking everything about him. We became very interested and let his furparent know we were. He told us he was giving him away to someone he felt would be good for him and take care of him. He selected us and all we had to do was to pay for the transport of him from Tennessee to Massachusetts. The furparent turns out to be one of the nicest people we have ever talked to, it is bittersweet that we got his baby because of his diagnosis, but we are lucky enough to be the ones he chose to take care of Turtle.

Turtle is a great dog, very smart, well trained and loves the kids. It made the decision easy to take him since we didn't have to go through the puppy stages, being my first dog in 20+ years I didn't know if I could handle those stages with 2 young boys and 5 cats.

Day 2 with Turtle has gone well, my wife and kids are adoring him, I am still adjusting to it, but so far it is going well.

That is a bittersweet story. Keeping Turtle's former fur parent in my prayers. I'm glad he knows that his baby will be well-loved!

Good morning all !!!! You know I keep saying I'm going to stop by everyday and keep up with all the posts, but life keeps seems to be getting in the way.

I am really going to try harder to stop by twice a day. I brightens my day to read everyone's post and see what everyone is up to.

As for me today, off to work in a bit. I start my extra hours this week, 10 am to 8 pm. It may take me a little while to used to all the standing, but we will survive

Hope everyone has a great day. Off to read some post and try to catch up.

Hi, mommyby3! Good luck with the extra hours this week!

Good morning good people....

Not a whole lot going on and or planned for this week, It's one of those weeks where it will be day to day to see, what sort of adventure pops up. I will say this though, it sure is a beautiful morning here (temperature), it's a pleasant 56 degrees here in Westminster, Maryland; my kind of temperature....(I can feel Fall in the air).

Well, it's a Monday, not a big fan, my interpretation of a Monday is that when the rest of the world is heading to work, I'd rather be under the covers, checking for holes in my eyelids until 9 or 10 am...

Well, hope everyone had a nice weekend and hopefully, you will have a good day today as well....

I love Mondays, but this morning I was dragging a bit myself and I even went to bed early! I hope your week is awesome!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to warm back up here today with a high of 80 degree's. Yuck!! LOL!!!! I was really hoping we were done with the 80's. It looks like we have a few more days though. Not to much on the agenda for today. Just checking over the job listings for both me and mom. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck on your job searches, made! Have a great day!

I hope Palmer is feeling better by now!!!

Thank you, Holiday! She seems all better now ~ being a playful little stinker today. cheesy

Enjoy your day off tomorrow!

I miss Ben Franklin!! Loved that store!

Me, too! There are at least two that I know of in MI, but they are too far away.

Well I must quickly give you all Snow-in-Texas health report. His circulation is just fine!!! Thank God! That was our main concern. He is being treated for a sciatic nerve.

Other good news, two weeks ago when he saw his cardiologist his blood pressure was on the high side but not enough to put him on meds. It has always run a bit high. I discussed with Wayne to start eating healthier, low sodium, exercise and he agreed. I already eat healthy majority of the time so he just joined me. His blood pressure went down to 120/81!!! That's the lowest it has ever been! We were so happy to hear that!

I am feeling a lot better today too!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

Snowflake, thanks again for asking the chiropractor about back injuries. It seems this is what Wayne has that is causing the problems.

So glad everything is all right! Keeping both of you in my prayers!

Goodnight, friends! Hope you've all had a great day! Headed to bed for a nap before work. Ttyt!

Have a good night at work, sugar!

Good evening, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone well!

Long day and I am very sleepy, but I still have some paperwork to do. At least the chores are done! :dance:

The three day forecast shows that there is a threat of tornadoes for my area on Wednesday. I'm sure the forecast will change before then, but it is still a bit worrisome. After Wednesday, it is all fall temperatures for the foreseeable future. Woo Hoo!

Best get to work. TTYT

Be safe and MERRY, my Christmas friends!

Good evening!
I just read through the posts quick, its the first time I've had a chance to sit down and relax. I thought it was going to be a pretty quiet day for me but I got an unexpected call from the preschool this morning asking me to come in because they were short handed. I went in to help them out for a few hours and of course my entire day was thrown off. While I was there the school director was begging me to work all five days instead of just Tuesday & Thursday. I originally turned down working all five days because I thought it would be too much for me. This time they offered me shorter shifts on M/W/F instead of full days. I guess I'm going to try it and see how it goes. I have to be back there at 8:00am. I might not be able to pop in here first thing every morning, I'll have to see how it goes. If not I will definitely check in at some point during the day. I hope everyone had a nice day and enjoys the rest of the evening!
Goodnight MMC!

Goodnight, HMG!!!!!! Fingers crossed that working all 5 days works out for you!!!!

Beautiful story. I love that you decided to take in a dog who needed a home. All my babies are rescues. Sounds like Turtle had a wonderful home already but in a way you "rescued" him and helped out a family in need. Very thoughtful of you to make that decision! Turtle rescued you back! That is what I tell all my babies, they make me so happy!!!

We have a soft spot for animals here, all 5 of our cats are rescues. I may not be a "dog person" but I do love animals.
