    In case I've never mentioned it, I'm a HUGE Brene Brown fan. I've read everything she's written, and in the middle of Rising Strong, which I think is my favorite book so far. Powerful stuff. It's changed me, and I use it in daily life and at work all the time.

    Today is my long day. Hugs to everyone!

    Morning.

    Long day ahead to include a trek to have me peepers checked and find new frames.

    I wish I had professional opinions on my frames - someone to offer candid opinions :smiley:

    Cheers,
    Skip

    Mornin' BBB.

    I like that quote, Lisa. I'll have to look up Brene Brown.

    Please thyself, Skip. If that means letting someone else make the fashion choice for you, then let it all hang out, baby. I'm thinking Elton John.

    Heat has returned. No rain. We had a very wet spring and early summer and now in a bit of a dry spell. Tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants love it.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Had a great day, yesterday: the entire morning in the shop making shavings, the entire afternoon with my grandkids, and the evening at my woodturning club.

    May get some more shop time in today (it is rainy outside) but also need to drive DW on some errands.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • I like the quote Lisa. Showing up is often the hardest step. Keep coming back...
    • Well, to fit in with the trend I have a Dr. appt. today too. Annual Physical. Blood work done two weeks ago.
    • I think the pressure to find the perfect eyeglass frames during the visit is overwhelming. Two years ago I found a pair of Ray-Ban frames on-line a month before the appt. I jotted the model number down and took it with me. They didn't carry them but had no problem ordering what I wanted.
    • Good luck at the Dentist Lou. Hopefully you'll only fund a life preserver.

    Good Morning BBB.
    It's the rainy season here - enjoying the incredible clouds and almost daily rainbows.
    Bill - just be you! Let them direct you to the frames that are geared for your face size/shape and then you just go for it.

    Hi BBB

    Back in my office after a nice break, never long enough though!

    Skip, go online and find where you can put different frames on your actual face photo, that may help! Good luck!

    Should have a signed listing contract on lake lot by weeks end. We will see what happens. Not expecting much action now, but certainly can't have any at all, without listing it. Spring 2020 may show better results. And they can list as a new listing April 1, when this listing runs out end of year.

    Get Rita that puppy Dave :) !!

    I'll check out Brene Brown further!

    Hot and humid here again. The AC is running!

    Have a wonderful day BBB

    Hi all. Early morning so didn't check in

    Finished project (or at least came to a stopping place). Will head home in the morning stopping at a store on the way. Then repack and go back to Dad's for the weekend. A cousin and his three little kids and one sister and her 4 kids will be there.

    Probably 10 hours or so in the car. Good thing Ron drives.

    Good Evening,
    I've come to conclusion neither I nor DW have enough energy for 3 yo. 10 yo and 12 yo grand kids.
    3 yo goes home tomorrow afternoon
    Thank you to everyone for birthday greetings, three score and seven makes me 37
    Safe travels Steph,
    Skip, go for some really wild frames
    Lisa, I would rather have a long day getting lots done than having spread out through week.
    Mary down here Jan. - June are prime lake property sales unless folks are looking for full time home then they tend to shop end of season.
    Heat here has not left, we generally are about 5 degrees higher than Atlanta leaving us in 90's each day with high humidity; lots of lighting and thunder each evening very little rain.
    DMIL says she fell Monday, DW ask if she needed to go to doctor, NO NO; said she would be very bruised, bruises still have not shown up. DMIL has taken a foot warmer heated in microwave and tied around waist with rope. This has not stopped her from coming upstairs to bother us and grand kids. Poured large tea glass full of wine and left on counter, DW ask did she need to pour out, DMIL ran up stairs, is now across street at neighbors spreading rumors.
    Enjoy the Evening,
    Sam I am
