    Morning Gang!!

    Thanks for kicking us off, Raine! Hows the ink healing?

    Nerve block yesterday - back all bruised - didn't sleep well. Ugh..... Long day today of meetings.

    Off to SBUX to find joy and inspiration.

    Cheers,

    Good Morning BBB.
    Bears suck - and so many injuries. Oy.
    Picked up 224 pounds of honey yesterday - plus 44 pounds of honey comb. That amount will hold several households through the year. Honey is amazing.
    Mary - so happy for your results - yes - we are here for each other - through thick and thin.
    Bill - countdown until everyone under the same roof.
    Sam - countdown until the beach
    Do good out there everyone.

    Steph - there is a camera icon in the center group of the tools section right above the text posting area. Tap that and then hit choose file and there you go.

    Good Morning,
    224 lbs honey and 44 lbs comb sounds as you are supplying an entire small town. Honey has gotten ridiculously expensive down here.
    Being very busy makes the time pass faster.
    Mary, congrats on no concerns!!!
    Dennis, a female Bishop, I remember when DS wanted to assign a lady pastor to church in Fayette County and it was ladies of church who voted against her, then we had a female DS; I can say many of female pastors I've known were very good when congregation would allow them to.
    Outside of house is painted and looks good. Basement will be finished today except for bath, have not decided what to do there.
    For exercise since we moved I have been swimming laps after weights, when temps are in 90's and water is staying in upper 80's it feels good; then this morning I receive an e-mail that they are closing the pool on 30th, Must be too many northerns on board where they think September 22 means end of summer and hot temps. No some years we did not close our pool till around Thanksgiving. Though I have to admit there are not many of us still using the pool.
    DMIL did not go home yesterday, to ensure she goes home today DW made her a Dr's visit for this afternoon.
    4 days!
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Morning BBB

    In early, out b y 3, I hope. Lots of stuff to do this week. Dropping the white dress shirts off for dry cleaning and a professional press today for my guys. Any lil things I can do to help with wedding weekend I will. Hopefully their $500 suits will be done soon. Yes, the groom decided they should all buy custom suits instead of renting. And the Allen Edmond shoes and belt to match. I bit much to expect imo. Least the shoes were at the AE shoe bank for half price, only $275. Yikes. His take, everyone can use a new suit anyway. The money some couples spend on weddings now days is craziness. Cool venue though, at the Harley Davidson museum ball room. Should be nice.

    Glad the tat is healing great, Raine. I love it!

    Sam, this is definitely a well deserved vacation.

    Bill, enjoy the calm before the storm huh, when the rest of the family plies on in? Stake out your space, first come first serve.

    I think the lady pastors I've come across have always done a nice job.

    Today, I continue to count my blessings, as I do every day!

    Have a great safe day BBB

    Good morning BBB Friends. Mary, the groom would have to be a very, very good friend before I bought into his 'buy the suit I pick out' plan. Interesting. Sam, have fun at the beach. You are due my friend. I know Bill is going to enjoy some form of normalcy with the family back in his own house. That is a lot of honey Raine. I'm not sure we go through one jar in a year.

    So, during Bishop Sue's installation the fire alarm goes off. This is a formal ceremony and she's in the middle of her sermon about the prodigal son and the party his father threw on his return. Bishop Sue is a Univ. of Fla. alumni and her 1st words after all calmed down were "At UF they always said it wasn't a party until the police came. I think she is going to be okay.

    Morning BBB

    Can't believe it is only Tuesday. At least I have fun things to look forward to this weekend. We are seeing Steve martin/ Martin short on Sunday.

    Dennis - nice pastor story.
    Steph - Steve Martin & Martin Short will be a blast.
    Mary - the weddding venue will be awesome - we have never been inside the Harley museum. I agree that kids spend a crazy amount on weddings. To me it's a waste but to each his/her own.

    As for the honey - in our house we go through about 40+ pounds of raw local honey a year - I take a tablespoon twice a day and I have not been sick in many years. I make the honey run for a group of friends - we get the wholesale price from a local beekeeper. o:)

    Raw honey helps one build up immunities for allergies, need to get local raw honey and take daily or find local unheated bee pollen; dropins in bottom of hives, I rather have the honey.
