London has sadly been affected by many sad news and cruel attacks recently. It it home yesterday when one of my employees learned that her grandfather died at the site where a man drove a van into a crowd of people in front of a mosque. If you can spare a positive thought for her whole family, it would be greatly appreciated.

My prayers are definitely flowing their way.

Graciously asked for and willingly complied with. I know that Festive is over there and has been close to the action herself. I pray for a nation that has done so much in her history to aid in the development and freedom of others, as well as those who have been personally affected by recent events.

The countdown is about to begin in earnest for our family. This is the last week of school, today is the last day of instruction and then exams Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning, Field Day after the morning exam with a bbq and outdoor races and games. Before you know it, it will be 4th of July and then .... Christmas in July!!!

Greetings Mom21. I have to ask... where is school going on this late in June? Just wondering because where I grew up in Southern California we did go until mid June and then started back up again the Tuesday after Labor Day. At any rate, enjoy the festivities. Will it look anything like this...?

Happy Tuesday!! We got a few t-storms and heavy rain last night. Our power went out for a few minutes. Just work for me today and the humidity is supposed to go down which will be nice. I hope we get to see some sun! Hope you all have a great day!

Enjoy your last day of Spring SnowflakeMom. If the weather where you are is anything like your posts, the sun should be shining through very shortly.

Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!

Its been a long, wet weekend! I enjoyed Father's Day. I got some very awesome new shirts, we went to our early church, then we went to church with & had lunch with Nancy's dad. I was out yesterday on a trip to Savannah with Nancy, then we had to rush back for the start of our church's Vacation Bible School. It'll be going on the rest of the week, too.

I'm glad to see that Holiday has returned from her vacation!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Thanks Brad. And I'm glad you enjoyed Fathers Day! Have a wonderful last day of spring!

Howdy Brad. I am pleased your Father's Day was so enjoyable. When my family asked what they could do for me, all I could say was peace, quiet and KFC.

Enjoy VBS...

Good morning,

The sky is totally blue this morning, not a single cloud out there. Better yet, it is not too hot. Today it is suppose to stay in the 70s. I will probably spend some time outside on the back porch by the garden. I need to do some research for a paper I need to write this weekend. What better way to do that than relaxing outside?

Have a great day!

Its unfortunate but I saw this coming. People only will stand for so much, and then they will act. We have all had it lucky for many years, I trained once in Israel for a month and nobody honestly realizes what they have to deal with on a almost daily basis. Religions have clashed since it came about, more people have been killed in the name of Christianity then every war combined. Its sad but I see no end to this. Before I get condemned..remember I dealt with this for many years. It will end up being another Crusade.

Good morning ~
It's going to be sunny today with highs around 80 degrees. I straightened up the house and have a couple of loads of laundry done so far. I'm heading out soon to do some food shopping. Back home afterward to finish up my daily chores. I also plan on taking a ride to Kohls this afternoon to use my Kohls cash. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

Happy Tuesday morning Minta. Don't tell me you aren't going to try the sled out first! But, congrats on your find. Warmer weather is due here as well, but looks like it will be up and down for the next ten days or so. Hopefully your next weekend endeavor will include a few moment to "pause and relax". Sounds like you deserve it. Have a fun week...

Thanks .. Nope no time to relax. Have to many projects I want to get done before the kids go back to school. Once Sept hits we will be busy with school and sport related activities plus all fall activities and holiday prep. January to March is my down time LOL

The red on the sled was almost always a generic red enemal Minta. I repainted our sled with some Rustoleum Red enemal paint. I couldnt tell the difference between the old restored sled and the survivor we had found that had sat in a attic for 30 years.

Thanks for the heads up. I am not sure if I want to repaint the rails or just leave them as is.

Everyone have a wonderful evening!!!! I need to head home & do some cleaning inside before the festivities begin, but it's so nice outside, I just want to go out & play!

"See ya tomorrow for SUMMER!"

Wheee! This won't excite anybody else, but I gotta vent my joy. I splurged and treated myself to a studio boom arm for my microphone, and it arrived a day early. I couldn't wait to try it out. It clamps onto the table I use when recording, and the mic hangs in front of me. It's out of the way of what I'm reading and saves table space for the laptop that the mic records into. Looks almost like a pro setup, and I think it's going to be very convenient ... and should be a good incentive to get some recording projects going.

Cool!!! Hope you love it!! I just got a blue snowball and was thinking of getting an arm for it too since my computer desk is pretty small.
