    Steph and I met! It was awesome! Pictures on another thread. :)

    That said, I was up WAAAAAAAAY too late and am dragging this morning. It was worth it.

    Have fun with Skip, Sam and Dennis! What do the numbers mean, Sam?
    Your cake looked amazing, Lou! Happy birthday again! If you'd been here, I'd have let you wear my tiara for the day. :wink:
    What are you planting this season, Lee?
    Congrats on the closing, Skip! YAAAAAAAAAY!
    I love how you love your family, David. That's what it's all about!
    Mary, I'm looking forward to seeing what colors you go with. I love the commitment to variety each year! I do that, too. No ruts for us!

    Mornin' BBB.

    Good to see that I'm not the only one who forgets what day it is.

    Congrats on the closing Skip. Soon you'll be in new place.

    I usually do tomatoes, eggplant, jalapenos, pablanos, squash and zucchini, cucumbers, curly kale, potatoes, and a variety of herbs. Mostly stuff that we enjoy grilling and putting in our salads. I did not get to start conditioning process last night...got home late and just wanted to settle in.

    Mary, can't wait to see how your garden grows.

    Street bikes are cool...but are a bit dangerous. I know too many guys that got hurt pretty badly and one that died because a car pulled in front of them. I would rather a dirt bike.

    Lisa and Steph look like they had a ton of fun.

    Sam and Dennis, please try and cheer Skip up.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good Morning,
    Must be a GREAT time when one does not even know what day it is. Wait a minute DMIL never knows what day it is. Great Pics, glad everyone had a good time.
    I agree, after seeing guy spread out on expressway last week; there is no respect for folks on bikes anymore.
    55/32; fifty-five days till retirement, having to work thirty-two of those days- of course I'm not counting.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Morning Gang~

    Feeling human again! Perhaps no more stress of selling! Love the pics from our MI hostess with the hostess and our Omaha'n! Ya'll looked like you had a great time. Now its the mens turn to impress with some great photos! Looking forward to my chauffeured ride from the Airport by two of Georgia's finest tomorrow.

    Long day ahead, closing out some projects - but looking forward to a few days of R&R this long weekend!

    Cheers,
    Skip

    Morning BBB.

    Lisa I fell asleep almost immediately upon getting to the hotel...good thing it was close. Didn't even log in to my work email to make sure I did everything.

    So great to meet you. I loved getting a sneak peak of the wedding dress and flowers. Thanks again.

    Good morning.

    FWIW, it feels like a Tuesday.

    Nice that the two of you linked up and I love the pictures. I think I'm going to let my beard grow out...

    My left foot hurts. Too much walking in shoes without good support yesterday. I'm sure the steps totally canceled out the slab of cake. Right?

    I hear she's quite contrary.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Happy birthday Lou. I'm sure I'm late in the greeting but congrats.
    • Great pictures Steph and Lisa.
    • I have a beard, just sayin'.
    • Sam and I are making the journey into the big city tomorrow to see Skip.
    • I can see Steve, heads down in the books thinking I got to get the month closed out and then I'm outta here.
    • I see Bob and Dave are enjoying some warm sunshine in the PNW. We are headed to 85° this afternoon.
    • Have a great day.

    Good morning BBB.

    Loved the pics, Lisa and Steph.

    Going to be 73 and sunny here in Tumwater. Planned to go for my first hike of the year, today. But I was awake most of the night - insomnia, again. I think I'll just take a really long walk. DW wants me to take her to the garden store to buy a couple pumpkin plants, anyway; one for each grandchild.

    DDIL picked up the kids yesterday afternoon. It seems so quiet - and neat - in the house, now.

    Jealous of the meet-ups you all have. Bob and I should find a way to meet, since we are isolated here in the Northwest.

    Yup love Lisa and Steph's picts. Glad to hear about your closing Skip! Enjoy. Yeah Dave I would love to meet sometime ! Probably 75° in PDX today. I have met up with a couple of the Washingtonian WWers in the past. Off for a ride.

    Good Afternoon BBB - congrats Skip! One big thing off the list!

    Glad for the meet up in Michigan, and the planned meet up with the guys to come are happening! So Fun!

    So... I had a very serious allergic reaction to a new Rx I was taking for a minor UTI, from Bactrim . Thankfully I only had two doses in me. Im okay now, but it could've been really bad from what I was reading, had I continued use, the serious allergic reactions for some folks on this stuff is crazy, yikes. It gave me a couple of hives on each palm of my hands, then I awoke up scratching during my sleep at 3am Tues to see it turn into 2nd degree burns/serious blisters on my left hand. I immediately took benedryl and another otc my doc suggested. But wow, talk about scary. The skin burn is pretty bad, but better today. I'll will watch it close and keep it clean. I'd show you all a photo but its nasty. The pharmacist freaked out when I showed him, he had never seen such.

    On a better note, its hump day!

    SO raked the existing lawn last night til dark - lots of thatch. The new grass is just looking ok at best, some really bare in spots, re-seeding is going to be a must. Sod would've been nice.

    Skip, best get your new lawn some watering, do you have automatic sprinkler systems?

    Love that Sam has the count down going!

    Sounds like Lee's garden is going to be great!

    Dennis has a beard and Lou got cake, Steve is almost on vacation and Dave is hopefully going to get a nap in!

    Whats Kelly up to?

    Be well be happy BBB!
