Our Disney trip was great, Father's Day was good, and yesterday I had two meals provided to me for my birthday. A co-worker is making a cake for me later this week.

Now that things have settled down for us after a busy few weeks, I'm ready for Christmas in July!

Happy Birthday!

Good morning all.

Rain and thunderstorms are the forecast today. At least it will bring the heat down some.

Yesterday we went to IKEA as we are doing a little rearranging and needed a couple of things. I am pretty sure Henry sat on every couch in the store. :rolleyes:

Then we went to Jungle Jim's to pick up some groceries. If you are not familiar with Jungle Jim's, it is in Cincinnati and it is a huge grocery store. They have all of the normal stuff but then they have a lot of hard to find items as well as international foods. They have whole sections and small rooms in the store dedicated to food from around the world. It is not U.S. versions of international foods either, but actual imports. The store itself is really neat too. They have animatronics set up throughout the store that talk or sing songs; such as a giant Campell's Soup Can, characters from cereal boxes are part of a band, a Lion names Elvis that plays Elvis songs. Then the bathrooms.... The door to the bathroom looks like a port-a-john, but when you go in it is a very big, very clean restroom. We do not go there often, maybe twice a year, but it is always a lot of fun.

Everyone have a great day!

What a neat store ~ I'd love to go there someday.

Good Wednesday afternoon, Christmas friends!

Nancy and I went to listen to Elizabeth sing for the Directors Board for the Arts Center yesterday afternoon. She had to be there early and was already there. She called while we were en-route to tell us she'd been in a fender-bender. No one was hurt, but the car was really bent. It had happened right in front of the place where she had to sing, and everyone there saw her outside with the police, crying. Bless here heart, she still did a wonderful job singing.

We have a heat advisory in effect today, and wouldn't you know I have several tasks outside that require my personal inspection LOL.

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

Stay cool & hydrated, Brad!

Hey there folks, I’ve been pretty darned busy for the past 5 days. We finally (officially) obtained our home. We did the final walk thru this past Friday, but, i got the keys to the place on Thursday evening. That night, I got to the house first, then I waited for my wife. She got there and I carried Her over the threshold as it was the first time she came to the house as an owner. Then inside I had a bottle of bubbly, and other things in the refrigerator waiting for her.

Since then, we’ve been packing and going over to the house in the evenings and cleaning it. And boy, do I mean cleaning it! We are both like, nope, not moving in till Mr Clean and Clorox Bleach hits everything, lol.

We have our bedroom set being delivered tomorrow, carpet to be installed and then cable hooked up.

Friday the movers will be here with two moving vans, a 28 and 17 footer. And then the big moving day will then commence. We’re super excited and have been busting our behinds to get the place all super clean.

So, if you don’t hear from me much, you’ll know what I’m up to over the next 4-5 days.

How exciting! I hope the move goes smoothly and that you will be settled in your new house soon!

Good Wednesday morning! After the extreme heat and humidity on Monday, we had a wonderful cool down yesterday and it's just perfect this morning. Still lots to do for work even on my day off. I have to buy carnival-themed snacks for our group orientation on Saturday. I'm preparing everyone's schedule for the next 3 weeks. And I'm putting together a Powerpoint presentation on the health and safety quiz our employees will have to take on Monday. But first things first, I'm off to enjoy a nice long walk with David and Loki and enjoy the sunshine.

David got his MRI results back yesterday and there is another tear in his shoulder, as we suspected. No idea yet if the health and safety board will accept it as a relapse and will cover his salary. I just want him to be ok, money is not the issue. It's kind of scary, one of his tendons is torn 2/3 of the way through. His physiotherapist saw some improvements though. And finally his employer is offering him modified light work. If there's one thing I know about being an employer is that from day 1 you offer light work. It costs much less for a company to keep the worker on with modified work than to have him on leave.

Hope everyone will enjoy a great day once again!

Keeping David in my prayers, Martine.
 
Merry Wednesday!

What a long day! I'm really sleepy, too, as it has finally cooled down to where it feels comfortable. Hopefully, I'll sleep quite well tonight. It is the week I'm off melatonin, too, so the cool weather arrived at the right time.

It rained a decent amount today ~ so happy for that as there are huge brown patches in the lawn. It didn't raise the pond up any, but it didn't go down anymore, either, so that is good!

Be merry!

So glad Elizabeth was ok!
 
Good morning, MMC! I haven’t been sleeping very well lately. With the span of days I’ve had off and with it being hotter, my sleep schedule has just been off. I’m hoping since I work the weekend, I can catch up some.

Taking the kids and one of DD’s friends to the local amusement park, to do the water park today. This evening, DH, the kids, and I are meeting our close friends for an event from DH’s hometown - it is a wing fest, but based around a motorcycle week they have here. I’m looking forward to it!

I hope you all have a great day!
 
Morning MMC! Been getting home later this week so I took Rollins out to the lake which is closer/shorter walk than the park. Should be able to go home a little earlier the next couple of days before we hit the weekend...and boy am I looking forward to that. Hope you all have a good day before Friday!

Sounds like you have a super fun day planned, have fun at the amusement park and wing fest today! Hope you’re able to catch up on some sleep this weekend!

Good morning ~
Happy Thursday!
We have some showers passing through this morning but it’s going to clear up and be sunny with highs near 80 today. Not too much going on here. We finally had a couple of Hobby Lobby’s open up on Long Island and I think I’m going to take a ride to check one out. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about them here so I’m excited to go. Other than that I will be working on my daily chores. Dinner will be grilled chicken, a warm potato & bacon salad and corn on the cob. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!
xx
