    Good Morning BBB.
    I slept a few hours and I've been up since 2am thinking and working.
    We are ready to put an offer in on a two lots creating a double lot - one for our house and one for Tom's shop. Very exciting. It's in North Port on a canal. I never thought I would live in an incorporated area (city) but here we go. The street is private and not overbuilt.
    I have read and caught up on BBB posts - ❤️
    Do good out there everyone.

    Morning~

    Congrats on the big decision, Raine/Tom! Exciting!

    Snowstorm yesterday left a lot of slushy wintry mix. Today in the 50's - so should melt most of it.

    Busy day ahead.

    Thinking of BBB!

    I'm so happy for you, Raine! How EXCITING!
    I was so busy looking at that funny T-shirt, Kelly, that I missed reading your post. I'm so sorry about your neighbor!

    They predicted ice for us again yesterday, but temps never fell that low. So, we got rain instead. Much better.

    Hugs all around!

    Mornin' BBB.

    Sorry about your neighbor, Kelly. Very sobering, hopefully she did not take her own life.

    Luv me sum Art Vandelay.

    If you are living on a canal, you will need a boat. You'll also have a pet alligator or two.

    Light snow and freezing rain overnight. Interesting crunchy crust all over this morning. DS#1 came up and visited DMIL at her NYC apartment, then came up and had dinner with us. He's thinking of proposing to current DGF in the near future.

    Head spinning.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning.

    Today's our 15th anniversary, so we're meeting for dinner in the city after work tonight. We already celebrated over the weekend, so this will be low key.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Happy Anniversary Lou.
    • Exciting times Raine. Are you going with a builders stock house plan or are you going custom?
    • Josh McDowell's talk last night was inspiring. Happy to have received the invite.
    • Got me new glasses yesterday and the frames were not what I expected. We're starting over.
    • Busy day today with annual HOA meeting this morning, preparing church slides this afternoon and a meeting tonight.
    • Have a great OP day BBB.

    In Columbus Ohio today for a meeting thenm home tonight. Super need an office day but going to be another major snow on Saturday so need to run errands and 18yo niece has asked Ron to help her buy a car (wrecked the last) but based on her history he won't be alone with her so I'm going to have to squeeze that in too

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Congratulations, Lou.

    Glad you found the future site of your new home, Raine.

    Life always brings new adventures, Lee.

    Tonight, we have our first choir practice since one of our members took her own life. She was a memberf of the choir for for more than 30 years. It will be an emotional time, I am sure.

    Good Morning!

    Sun is shining, hoping some of the ice melts. Power went out at office due to ice at 2pm yesterday so called it a day and went home, got my taxes done and efiled.

    Googled North Port FL, looks nice! Will there be gators in those waterways?

    So sorry for everyone experiencing loss. Good reminder Life can be short, embrace it and tell those we love, that we love them, often.

    Sounds like your niece has been through some stuff Steph. Hope all works out for her young self. I also wanted to give you a big hug on the 2yr anniv. of losing your Mom.... ((hug))

    Wave to DS1 in Columbus OH for me Steph. Awoke to a text from him btw this morning saying to have a good day and that he love's me. My sons are rockstars. Im blessed. We are all blessed here on BBB!

    Be happy, be safe BBB oxoxox

    Good Afternoon,
    Doctor this morning, I'm feeling better but seems I still have fluid on lungs,
    Do not blame Ron, is there a production date for van yet? or did I miss it?
    Congrats Lou in getting Celia to stick with you, enjoy night out.
    I've learned it does not matter what parents think about prospective or current spouses, and the less input we have the the less comes back against us, for we know any negative is our fault. Positive is their doing. And never take sides it will come back. Of course DMIL generally believes I'm right; Ha Ha
    Sorry some of you missed more snow, know in July and August you'll miss it.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am
