A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2458..Everything is Going Great

I got up at 7am although my body could have slept longer--
My Company got on the road a bit after 8 my time. So all is quiet here now, & back to pretty much normal...well, Beowulf is still "vacationing" here.

Yesterday sounded like a good day, Carol. Was Marie pleased with the visitors that streamed through?

Yes she sure did. They had a fairly good visit. If you do not count all the things she was saying about her dead sister 7 BIL who were getting married.

Did I say though ? (as I am too lazy to read back)
Emily & Chris asked Lee & Judy to bring Marie outside into the Home yard & they took Micah to meet his Great Grandma. She sure loved that. She even remembered her manners & asked how Luke was doing. They had left him here so they could visit with her & not have to be constantly chasing Luke so he would not run into the road.

I just woke from my nap, I think I am all caught up now.
Last of the laundry in the dryer.

I got the last of mine in the dryer too.
I knew they left Luke with you. And I understood why they left Luke. Toddlers don't sit well. But are children not allowed to visit inside the building? Or were the kids trying to protect Micah from whatever might be floating around inside the home?

Children are allowed inside. But they had some stomach virus thing going around there. Just last Sunday the workers were wearing masks. They figured the baby would be safe but they were being extra cautious. You see, when Luke was very small, they both had that Noro-virus thing. They do not want a repeat of that, esp. since Luke would likely get whatever as well.

The nurse said it "was not" the regular flu. So they know what it is, they are just not talking.

That was a good plan. I was just remembering how much the people in the homes we visited really enjoyed the children coming in. Best not to share anything these days.

Hi all...I have been busy as usual. Hope everyone is doing well.

All is good here. Hope all is well there as well.

Busy is good. Time flies that way and work gets done. To me that is a win-win.

G'nite--sweet dreams everyone.

Time does not fly when I am dusting. I hate dusting. But I did some today. Along with laundry and stuff. I am tired and achy tonight from climbing ladders and reaching and stretching.
It is close to my bedtime. Sweet dreams.

apparently we were posting at the same time.
I hate dusting too..
G'nite Tina, sweet dreams

Good morning. Trying to decide what I want to cook today that will cover a couple of meals or more this week. Need to pull something out if the freezer that I want to look at later.

Good luck with that, Tina. I have long said that I would not mind cooking IF someone would tell me what to buy at the grocery, and what to cook each day..
Rod says a cold front is moving in tonight----I guess it had to happen..

Well, my plans for dinner were changed. Ted and I are alone tonight so I'm thinking just simple mac n cheese with some veggies. With Teddy it is best to be simple.

Dusting is the worst. I'd rather clean the bathroom than dust.

Mac & Cheese is always a good thing.

I had a pork chop, leftover zucchini/onion/tomato casserole & some cranberry coated goat cheese.

Sheri, I do not like dusting either.

Heading to bed soon, nite-nite.

This is what Timothy and I did for his school project... sorry the pics are so big ...

Nana

Awesome Job, Timothy (and Nana)!
Sweet dreams all. I love being ready for the school week.

Thanks Tina,

I am just glad it's done.. Joe is taking Timothy to school tomorrow morning so it gets there in one piece... !
then I will have the younger ones for school time with me... I am getting pretty good at 3 and 6th grade stuff... LOL@
Well I am hitting my pillows now too- took almost as long to clean up the mess we made creating this fort as it did to make it... hubby was an angel and vacuumed all the stray pieces up ... now I have to find a place for all the extra craft stuff I have left- sure we will use it again eventually...

Well nite all..... sleep well..
Nana

Good morning, I love dusting...pick me up anytime to help y'all out

We had unexpected company visit once again...I swear that just kills me. Between trying to get next year's wood and catering to people it was the longest weekend ever.

Great job Nana.

Good Morning

Nana: great job! Congratulations to both of you! Thanks for showing us pictures. These are the things children will never forget (your helping him with such things)

Sunny--Oh My, unexpected company. I am so very sorry. While visiting is a nice thing, I do so hope that you were not put too far behind schedule.

Sunny,....Be careful what you say. some of us live closer to you than others...You could well hear a knock at your door some day....

Good morning. Happy Monday. I slept very well.
I guess this was company that you could not put to work, Sunny?
If anyone came to help me with housework, I would kill myself cleaning before they arrived. And it still wouldn't be enough. Right now, I have no spare beds for company. Maybe I planned it that way?

Morning all,

Thanks ,, it was fun making that fort but sure glad we are done and it is on it's way to school now... hardest part was finding stuff to make things with- directions said no plastic or "kit" parts.. good thing I keep stuff like small boxes and lids to things... bucket handles are tree ornament hangers, furniture was made with corks and popsicle sticks...

Well I need to make a batch of French toast for boys breakfast... hopefully they both slept last night- they still are having trouble staying on a normal sleep schedule..

Have a good day all... and I don't mind dusting and I too would clean house long before I let someone else come in and help... we don't have a lot of room for company anymore either- don't know if it was planned but unless you can sleep on floor like boys do on air beds you are out of luck....LOL!

Nana

You really did a good job with the fort, Nana. It is so nice when a project is done. Complete.

OK then, it is settled. You all can come here & help ME clean !!

I have 2 extra queen beds, 2 extra twin beds, and a day bed with a trundle. And oh, I have a baby bed too.

So, everyone should just come here & we will be cleaning fools. I'll even leave the dust just where it is.

However dust is not the real problem here. My keeping a lot of stuff is MY issue.

Well, we could at least be fools. I'd prefer to be in charge of cooking for the crowd of cleaning ladies, though.

Ok then !! You have yourself a job...

Sweet dreams everyone.

Sweet Dreams from me as well.

I could have sworn I posted this morning.
Good afternoon. I am home for the day. I don't have a lot on my agenda though.
i hope Carol got to ceramics today.

You know, Tina..I have that happen to me too. What I do not know is are we just getting THAT old, are our computers acting up, or is something else amiss. Oh well...no matter I guess.

Nope, Carol did not get to go to ceramics. I helped my DH this morning with phone calls and then ran some errands, THEN I did get to go to the Tea Room my Niece-in-law works at that had a 50% sale. Most good stuff was gone though, but I did get some Merle Norman mineral powder at a good price.

I am glad you could slip a little you-time into your day.
I took a nap.

Thanks Tina. I should have taken a nap. I am so tired, but if I go to sleep now, I will be up at 3 am.

Good morning...we are covered in a layer of frost so thick that it looks like snow. It does look pretty though.

I love a good sale...in fact I spent all my b-day money the other day at one Oh well, I now have some new clothes to go with my empty wallet.

How has the weather been lately, Tina?

Good morning. Another day to make what we will of it. Some coffee will help me out.

Yes, I think Coffee will help me out as well. I woke at 4:30 am and have not been back to sleep since. It is going to be a LONG day..

I have a bank book to balance and other things to catch up on.

I wish everyone a great day.

Sure is quiet in here today..I guess everyone is enjoying one of the last nice days of the fall ??

We had 2 gigantic shrubs, a holly and a camellia, that had gotten so big with all the rain we've had lately that they were taller than the house, cut way back and now I get sun in the living room. I love it. The holly was in place when we moved in 14 years ago and it was big but not gigantic. The camellia was planted right behind it and was small when we moved it but also had gotten gigantic. Now they are both cut in half and the sun is shining through. I had asked the guy to dig them up but he said "no no. I'll prune them way back and they will come back beautiful." So that's what we did. I'm going to keep them short. I love seeing the sun.

I am home for the day. I am about ready to stretch out on my napping sofa. I rose at 4:30 this morning too.
