    Good morning everyone! I'm way behind on reading, so I apologize for not having personal greetings. I'll try to catch up tomorrow (busy day again today).

    The outpouring of support has been really encouraging this week for me ... cards, flowers, hugs, fb personal messages and public posts. Most people are so incredible, and then there are a few who aren't. If you didn't see this, I posted it yesterday. It speaks beautifully some truths that I'm working on internalizing better:

    Morning Gang!

    Poignant soliloquy, Lisa! Teddy was one of the greats!!! Know you are adored by many! Keep fighting the good fight in face of opposition!

    Doc Lee seems to be doing well! Hopeful the warden gives his pardon today.....

    Busy day here...in case you missed the news, our boss showed up yesterday....rallied the rank and file about a HUGE building project down south.

    Lecturing tonight to my biggest class yet - 41! Had to raise the cap to accommodate late stragglers and those who need the class to graduate in May!!

    Ready for the weekend!! Be inspired.

    Good Morning,
    Tis TGIF Eve,
    Kelly, 2 Days till you will be out basking in the warm sun, jealous.
    Fl for a month and not showing up for Bike week? how unAmerican, do not blame Tom for being disappointed.
    Lisa as well as others, always remember as long as God is for you it does not matter what others do and say. You are a child of God, sanctified by the blood and know "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". and always remember that "this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it".
    Started out day with drizzle and 63 they claim sun will be coming out and we have seen our high, Spring is being put back on shelf for a while longer.
    DMIL, is still being herself; we have river rock lining beds in back, she decides to move them to fill an area where I plan to build a retaining wall to level part of yard.
    Hope all got a Great Hump in yesterday.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Good Morning BBB.
    A dusting of snow here and back to normal cold temps.
    We have been going to Englewood for a few years now and love it.
    Kelly - I know you have gone there for a long time so we will have to compare notes sometime.
    Lisa - you are loved by many - that Roosevelt quote is a favorite.
    Bill - the students obviously enjoy your class. Very cool.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Morning gang.

    Layoff scheduled today at work. I know about them so I assume it won't be me. If so I can about guarantee DH will quit too and our early retirement will begin a bit early. He is so ready.

    Good Morning!

    TR was one of my favorite presidents. He lost a child, so he understood things. One of the great ones, he was.

    Lisa, sounds like this week is better than last. Keeping you in prayer.

    Lee, keeping you in prayer for speedy recovery.

    Skip, are we going to see you kayaking down the Rio Grande supervising construction?

    Have a great day! -- Steve

    Mornin' BBB.

    Thanks for all the prayers everyone. Sitting in a chair and feeling purty good. The hospital chef is pretty good....knows how to cook an egg, which is rare. Haven't seen jello once.

    Lisa, bless your heart! You find some of the most inspiring and moving quotes and articles and share stuff that really touches me. Teddy was also one of my favorites.

    BBB OP ;-)

    I posted in yesterdays thread - oh well

    Lisa, take the best and leave the rest. Life is too short to waste time with non quality relationships.

    Continued prayers Lee, take good care!

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Lee, good to 'see' you up. It only gets better from here on.
    • Mary, Let's hope the surgery fixes what ails you. It's hell to get old(er). I don't envy your trade show trip with a bad cold.
    • Lisa, I'm hoping the sun is shining a bit brighter on you today. You are my friend.
    • Skip, I'm hoping you were nice to the boss.
    • Good luck today Steph.
    • Kelly and Raine, I'm envious. I would love to get away for awhile.
    • Sam, be nice to DMIL.
    • Lou, do you know anything about pipelines?
    • I have to write a self assessment for work. I think I would rather have a root canal.
    • Be good BBB.

    Good evening.
    Very long day
    All of you Facebook friends are gonna freak when you see my picture. I got a wild hair. Got my hair cut off and colored brown (natural). Ds2 hates it. Ha.
    Hey, it'll be exciting for dh to go to bed with a new woman only to find out he gets the same stuff!!! Ha ha.
    Counting down the vacation in hours now. I need a ticker.
    Lisa, I completely agree with SAm (I think it was him) who quoted a few bible passages! Stay strong
    Glad to see Lee is doing well.
