Good morning!
Happy Pines Day!
Typical day of errands and chores. Maggie has a groomer appointment this morning as well. My middle daughter still didn't get her car back, they are waiting for a part to come in. She has another job interview later this afternoon, this time she'll be meeting with the CEO. She already had two interviews, plus a 45 minute phone interview yesterday. What a process. Anyway, that's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good luck on the interview!!!
 
I have been very busy around the house the past couple of days. Got some tiles replaced in our kitchen that were cracked and also getting rid of stuff! I want to get everything organized in time for the holidays. My house is starting to look festive with fall decor.

My granddaughter was very happy by all the birthday wishes from you all. Thank you!

I hope you all have a Merry Day!!!

So, I noticed the date on the calendar this morning while I was fixing my lunch for work and got all excited and exclaimed, "It's Rudolph Day!" and the cat curled his body sideways in fright - he doesn't care much for my sudden delight of energy so early in the morning.
Sure glad I know a place where everybody gets excited over the mention of Rudolph and other Christmas related words.

She's starting 5th grade; I think I went through panic time at the start of every school year. Most of the classmates were the same so I can't explain why I always seemed so nervous.
When I started kindergarten, I noticed the teacher had my Fisher Price School House in the classroom. I wasn't sure how the whole paying for learning thing worked so I imagined my mom gave it to her so I could go to school. When I was leaving for the afternoon, I grabbed my schoolhouse stuffed it under my top and held onto the base and walked passed the teacher.

She smiled and said she'd see me the next day. I hurried by and rushed through the baseball field in the school yard, hopped over the ditch into my back yard where my mom was waiting with the back door opened. "How was school, dear?" She asked and I hurried by and up to my room and then realized my school house was right where I left it. Suddenly, I had two. A dark cloud hovered over me. I was terrified I was going to get into trouble. One of my older brothers told me if you misbehave you get "the strap".

I went to the kitchen where my mom was preparing my lunch and explained what happened and what I thought and that I was just going to give the teacher something I didn't play with as much. She told me just to tell the teacher what she told me and it would fix everything.
When I returned with the school house the next day, the teacher laughed at my reasoning behind the whole thing and to this day, I remember her with great fondness. If she had over-reacted and called me a "thief" or something, it would've wrecked my whole year.

Funny thing is that I wasn't clever enough to hold the bell still so the whole time I thought I was concealing the school house under my top, the bell was going "tinga-tinga-dinga".
I suppose some of my panic in the years that followed were just worries that I might do something embarrassing like that again. Thankfully all went well each year.

She was always my favourite teacher. I met her as an adult many years later when she was shopping for Christmas presents with my Godmother; they were good friends and it gave me a chance to thank her for being so kind.

What a sweet story!

 
CAH- Happy Belated Birthday to your Granddaughter!!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! Happy Pines Day!!!! It's going to be another beautiful day here with a high in the mid 70's. It's going to start warming back up tomorrow though and reach 90 by next Tuesday. Boo!!! Not to much going on here today. I just need to make some phone calls. Then I'll probably try to spend some time cleaning. I'm sure I'll also spend some time wondering what is wrong with this world. The news out of Virginia is terrible and then some guy here decided to steal a car and just start running over people downtown this morning. Luckily it doesn't sound like any of the 7 that he hit have serious injuries. I'll try to get back down here to my new favorite bench later today and catch up some. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Made.

I know, the news is just awful. Immoraying fir the families of those who lost a loved one today and praying they catch that guy! Just horrible.

But, I hope your day is good!
 
Good Wednesday & Pines Day morning, my Christmas friends!

I went to a meeting last night for a community fund-raising group. We're planning to buy new Christmas lights for the poles going through Bellville. We have some used lights that we got from one of the other cities when they got new ones, but now they're pretty ratty. New ones are pretty expensive, though. We're looking at $500 per pole for a simple snowflake. Sheesh!

Still, it's fun to be making Christmas plans!

I hope y'all have a great day! :D

Good evening,

One of those slow moving days today, but I got a lot done besides inventory. At least it was a good day.
I am heading to bed, another fun day awaits in the a.m.

Goodnight, friends.
