I am so sorry to hear you have been so unwell. Prayers for a full recovery.



Enjoy your beautiful weather. I think we have finally said goodbye to 70s/60s. They won't be back here till next summer.

Thanks, I will! Just a few days left. Then rain & cold =]

Have a great day !



Hello Ryan, Have a lovely day!

I feel like I need to start Christmas shopping right now. I always wait and get stressed out that I don't have enough. It's so hard to get into the holiday spirit when it's SO HOT outside.

Nice to see you, ReineV!
Hope you and your family are doing well~

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

We had a long, busy weekend. I was up at daylight Saturday morning, working on my part-time business. It was 50°F!! I loved it! Of course, it's not that cool now, but it was a nice taste of things to come. Elizabeth had to be at dance later that morning, then Jacob's band had a gig.

His band played at a Turpentine Festival. They had turpentine distilling demonstrations, live music, crafts vendors, etc. It was a lot of fun!

Yesterday was Homecoming at church, and we had a huge crowd, and enough food for two crowds that size!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Sounds like a beautiful & fun weekend, Brad!
Have a great week!

That is some great willpower right there!


Have great Monday, Edge!!

GM MMC....typical work day for me today and my daughter has a soccer game at 4 so we will go to that. I don't think Leo feels too well this morning. He is not his usual crazy self and is laying around a bit more than usual. I gave him a treat and he took it but went right back to bed. I am going to have to keep an eye on him. If he is not better tomorrow I will maybe take him to the vet. Hope you all have a great day!

Leo and you are both in my thoughts & prayers <3
Sending hugs!
Please keep us posted.

Man, talk about a long weekend. Had a list of things to do...and didn't get a single one done. Got home from getting a few groceries the other night and Bambina kept sitting on the couch saying "no, no, no" over and over. After about 15 minutes, she got so sick. Put her in the tub and clean her up....the other kid walks in and gets sick. This goes on for 5 hours straight every 20 minutes! OH MY GOSH. At 11 p.m., Doc started getting sick. At 3 a.m. on Sunday, I finally go the kids put to bed and then Doc. Yesterday wasn't as bad, but it wasn't good. Woke up this morning....and it's my turn. Needless to say, we are all home and resting. I sure do want to go outside and work on getting my lights ready, but all in good time. As for now, just going to sit here and read the boards for a few minutes and then pay some bills and do some other chores. Y'all have a good day!

Hope you all get well soon!

Morning all, it's Monday but it's an October Monday

Happy Monday & Merry October, 'Tis~
Hope you have a blessed week!

I'm glad you had a great time at the wedding! Sounds very nice!

I finished the scarf yesterday. I did it in turquoise.

And here's my cute little model!!

Continued prayers for sweet Har! Hope the rest of her (and your) weekend was great!! xx

Thanks, Holiday!
It was quite beautiful and fun.
What a pretty scarf! Love it.
And your model is very sweet! <3

Happy Monday MMC! Work is crazy today, hopefully I will have time to catch up later. I hope you all have a great day!

Happy Monday, Frosty!
Work is crazy for sure. Hope your day goes well!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend/neighbor. How awful! (((HUGS)))

Thank you very much, Holiday~
He was a great man, it took us an hour just to get inside-
He was very loved and respected. I will miss working with him in the industry, too. Praying for his family!

Good morning Snowflake. Beautiful day here so far. High should get near 70 as well. I hope everything went great for you this past weekend. Praying for you and Har today and everyday. Take care.

Good evening,

Happy October!!!

We had a great time at the Big E last night, it was chilly and rainy, but it keeps the crowds low. We actually got to see everything for a change, ate too much junk, and spent more money than anticipated. We did see the Budweiser Clydesdales, and heard a bit of the Lee Brice concert, I know nothing of country music, but he was there.
We will do one of our fall traditions tomorrow, apple picking at the local orchard.
Tuukka scared me tonight he got his head stuck in the slat of the chair, he was dangling by his neck. I was saving him but the poor thing was so scared, he was scratching and clawing, but I was able to get him out and he just stayed next to me for the next hour. He is happy and safe now.
FYI, Kohl's.com has men's Christmas shirts for sale, I already picked up a couple.

I hope you all had a great Saturday.

Goodnight, everyone

I'm so glad you were able to save Tuukka!! Have a Merry week!

good morning from Greece!!!i woke up today full of christmas cheer.i think its time to start preparing for christmas!!!!have a nice day everyone

Merry afternoon from Michigan! Have a Merry week!

Good morning, MMC~
Happy Sunday!
A brisk foggy morning here, in the 40's.
Warming up to 70 degrees, with some sunshine too.
It will be a relaxing morning~
This afternoon, we are attending a wake for a friend & neighbor who passed away in a tragic accident. It makes think about how precious life is, and to live every moment to the fullest.
Wishing you a blessed & beautiful day, spent with those who mean the most to you

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss, Snowflake. Sending up prayers for your neighbor and their family and friends. (((Hugs)))

Morning all, hope you're having a great Sunday. Yesterday was our 5th wedding anniversary, we celebrated in Frankenmuth and of course spent a huge chunk of time in Bronners.

Happy Anniversary to you and Mrs. FrostyKnowsBest! Have a Merry week!

Good morning!
The first Monday of October
Time travels to fast, I'm feeling a bit stressed....
I want it to slow down now!
I seriously feel this like a pain in my gut!

I think October is the finest month of the year
I've been sick for 4-5 weeks, but feeling much better now
So I hope I can enjoy this month!
Didn't see much of September....

Here it's cold today with 32F. Icy roads and fog.
I guess we have to put some winter tire on your car pretty soon

Hope YOU have a wonderful day my friend. Stay safe and warm

Good afternoon, Solice! I'm so glad you are feeling better!! Praying you continue to improve and that you are able to enjoy all the season has to offer! Have a Merry week, my friend!
(((hugs)))

Wow 80? We're supposed to reach maybe low 70s at best this week.

Wow! We have 77 tomorrow, then 79 for a couple days, then 82, then 79 again... 64 on Saturday.

 

[Holiday]

Morning everyone. Its a rainy day here today...stuck inside and kids are going nuts. Lol

Oh no!!! I hope the rain took a break for you so the kids can run off some steam outside.

 

[Holiday]

Greeting to one and all. The first full week of October has arrived in all of it's colorful splendor. Not a ton planned for today. The family is doing well and I have a few chores around the house to attend to. I do have one vital thing to accomplish however, a Culver's coupon for buy one basket meal and get one free expires today...
I will also help my better half change the water in one of her fish tanks.
I trust everyone is doing well, inthe best of health and spirits and looking forward to what the remainder of the year has to offer. Have a magical season.
