Tina, do you have a lot of damage?

We didn't get an errands completed today because the electrician showed up to fix a light in our bathroom and ended up putting up an outside motion light too. This is the guy who always brings his long time girlfriend with him which aggravates the crap out of me but she was with him again today.

Well, Sheri, at least you had a repair man show up---I am not allowed to hire such an animal---and yet DH will not do the work he deems we do not need---

I am back home--from the party. I wanted to stay for the celebration at church tomorrow but nope---I came home.

I have photos----but I left my camera at my DD's. when I get it back I will post some in THL.

Right now I will wish you all a good night. sleep well.

No damage here. But there is plenty to go around out there. I got very lucky.
I saw the four generation picture you posted on FB, Carol. It was lovely.
I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams all.

I saw the news, I hope you were spared damage Tina....the land slides it was showing was scary.

Sheri, We installed a motion sensor light also...now it drives me crazy because the neighbor's pets and wild life set it off all night. They passed a law that you are not allowed to tether any animal at night at any time of the year so they just unhook them and let them loose.

Yay for making it to the party Junie, I am sorry you didn't get to stay for the baptism celebration though.

We shopped yesterday....then a little boy followed me home. lol

I am not in any danger from landslides at this point. If there is a fire above me in the future,. that could change in the blink of an eye though.
Good morning. I'm up much earlier than I wanted to be. But I can always nap if I need. And I do love mornings and sunrise. So I'll wait an hour or two for it.
I hope you all have a great day.

Good Morning.

YAY for little boys following you home. That is the best.

Tina stay safe. I know you will be watchful.

I did not post the photo you saw on FB. Valarie did. Those were from her phone. I am waiting to see my photos. I am hoping I have some nicer ones.

I wish you all a safe and wonderful day.

I didn't see the generation photo. I'll go look. Junie one of the bathroom sinks has been sluggish for months and I keep hearing the promise of "I'll fix it." Getting ready to call a plumber.

Sunny, are you in the city limits? And dogs can just run free? What if they're mean dogs? That just seems crazy. I'm totally against tying animals to a tree or pole anyway but I don't think they should run free. Not safe for them or the neighborhood. What ya gonna do with that little boy? Send him my way. I know how to play kiss tackle.

I'll join the 'sluggish drain' club...mine is in the kitchen. I have tried drain cleaner to no avail....I plan to dismantle the pipes in the spring. I need to air the house out well when using ABS glue.

Sheri, we are in a rural area. My next door neighbor put collars and an inground shock system on their property after quite a few incidents between me sending the police to their door....3 large labs running free that were not friendly thumbup ~It's the little house dog type that I have trouble with now.

GG and I are sick...no school for her today. We seem to have caught a virus.

Good morning. . It's another rainy day. But just normal rains. Not gully washers.
Aw, I'm sorry you are sick, Sunny. I hope it is a short lived thing.
I have no big plans for the day past my morning coffee. I think trash to the dumpster is growing on my list of things. But I'm not sure beyond that.
I hope everyone has a great day.

I've got a spunky high school boy doing a little yard work this morning. He works during the morning then goes to school in the afternoon so he needed a little job and I've always got something for someone to do. He's joining the Air Force when he graduates.

Another sunny day here.

Hello. Good afternoon.

Sunny, I hope you and GG feel better soon.

Sheri----that is nice for you and the high school boy--the jobs you have serves you both. YAY !!

Tina--- have a good and restful day...

So far today I have been to the dentist..and then I had a visit with my Brother-in-law and my Sister-in-law.
Now I am soon off to take my mother to her Drs. appt. Then IF I am lucky, I will get to go out to eat tonight.
But I am not counting on it.

Originally it was the plan that they stay here..
BUT when Rod told them we would not be home until later on Sunday they decided to get a room in town so that I would be less stressed.
Well it was a god thing that they did not stay with us as Rod was very sick with his cold (I think it was some kind of virus as he got better in less than one week) and would have probably "shared" his germs with them.

So they came by today to visit with me and then tonight the 4 of us ate out together.

Have a great day everyone.

Well spunky boy is cute and polite as can be but I'm not sure this is the kind of job he wants. I posted it as lawn service. Then when we talked he told me he thought I'd be better off getting a service to do the actual lawn maintenance and let him do odd jobs since he'll be leaving at the height of the summer. (I agreed this is the way to go) He says he has done lawn service before and has all the equipment and actually came in his really nice pick up truck pulling a really nice trailer. I asked him to cut the monkey grass, which he had to go back over, and then I asked him to trim a shrub, which I noticed after he left that he did not complete. I asked him to move some of Johnny's stuff off the picnic table and put it into the building and he did exactly that. A few pieces of PVC had rolled off the table and are laying on the driveway (right beside the table) but they are still laying there. He either doesn't have the sense to realize he should have picked them up too or he is not going to bend down to do anything extra. He originally told me he'd need to leave by 11 to get to school on time but came to me about 9:20 and said he needed to go home so he could drop off his trailer before school. He showed me pictures on his phone of landscape projects he actually designed and installed and they are very pretty but there's no way he could have misunderstood my post or our conversation. Wonder if I should wait to see if he calls me about returning or if I should call him.

Good morning. Another rainy day for us.
I am glad GG is better today. I wish you well too, Sunny.
It sounds like your helper may not be what you need, Sheri. Good luck.
I am starting late, but starting. I hope everyone has a great day.

GG is not better, I had to pick her up at school at lunch time...she is home again today.

She has the stomach flu, I have a virus of some sort then DH woke up this morning sick. I am tired of these Winter germs.

Good morning. I am sorry your family got hit by the bug, Sunny. That is bad to all get it at once.
I'm gonna go out this morning to get some stuff, milk and such. But beyond that, I don't know what I will do. I'm sure there is something.
I hope everyone has a good day.

This afternoon I will be going to the Dr. with my MIL. t seems it is always something.

Sunny your house sounds like Shelley's. Colby was sick and now Aubry is sick. Hope Darbi stays in her room with a mask on. :) Wonder if Lysol has been watered down by the Russian's.

Junie guess your fun day was yesterday. Can Rod eat his lunch for snack?

The news yesterday said the bug killing places are saying they are already receiving the amount of calls they usually don't receive until way into summer about ants. They said it will take a hard freeze, which I'm sure is not going to happen around here, to get the ants under control. Not looking forward to the summer time bugs. Ginger told me yesterday that the gnats are already so bad that they could be on their deck over the weekend.

Well Sheri--I kinda got a free day today. The Nursing home called me & sadd the Dr. called to cancel the pre op appt. that Marie had this afternoon.. AND Said he would come to the NH to see here there....
sad part is I have no idea when he will do that....

so I got to stay home and wait for my Christmas gift from Rod to arrive via Fed Ex.
You see, I finally ordered my Kitchen Aid 5 qt. stand mixer on Saturday. It arrived this afternoon, and I have been moving around the stuff on the kitchen counters so I could keep it on the bar so I could bake there easier..
I have wanted the kitchen moved around like that since we moved in in Dec. 2004. I finally got it all worked out. I am very happy.

I always said I did not want tools for housework as gifts. ever-----BUT as I could have done w/o a KA stand mixer I figure that it did not come under that heading...

Tina, how is the weather & your surroundings. All is on the news, so I have become worried.

Hi all.

Tina, I watched the news this a.m. It was showing that roads had been washed away....I am glad you were spared.

GG has gone to school...fingers crossed she is over this bug.

Junie, that mixer is too pretty to use. lol

Last week when I took DD shopping, she had bought a new butcher knife. I told her that it was too sharp that she should get a different one. She said she wanted the sharpest she could get. I then told her not to call me when she cut a finger off.~~~I got the call last night...she sliced her hand open just washing it. So I spent the evening at the hospital waiting for a doctor to stitch her up. Lesson learned.

Oh. I hope she's more careful in the future, Sunny.
Good morning. Yes the flooding is in the north part of the state. I feel for those people. They have had a lot more rain and snow than we have in the south. And we've had plenty.
It's much cooler this morning. I don't like it. Take it away.
I hope everyone wakes warm and toasty this morning. Have a good day.
