    Good Morning BBB.
    It's Sunday morning and that means Jack on treadmill, Tom at church, and then we become white tornadoes cleaning to prep for open house - but now it's coffee and checking time <3
    Sam - so sorry that Joanne has sores.
    Lee - how is AB doing at trial?
    Steph - how was your birthday?
    Kelly - so nice that DH got AC fixed.
    Mary - how was craft fair? - I hope to go to the one in Lake Geneva 10/14
    Lisa - thanks for spotting HJ's Lowes commercial - I posted a link in a separate thread.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning.
    I'm enjoying a cup of coconut mocha coffee Wowzer. Pretty good.
    Church at 1030.
    I got a bunch done yesterday. Today, I'll clean out all the kitchen cabinets. Let me tell you, it's a lot.
    Ok. Here's the funny story.
    On Monday my mom and sister came over and we were making homemade noodles. It was hot in here and my face was flushed/red in the cheeks. Mom says,"do you have high blood pressure?"
    Me,"no".
    She kept on about me having high blood pressure and when I've last had it checked. On and on
    Finally I stopped and looked at her and said," you're the one GIVING me high
    Blood pressure,". Maybe you had to be there but my sister was dying. Ha.

    Good morning BBB.

    Beautiful day to work outside, yesterday, so I decided to cut up the last three big chunks of cherry in my back yard. Part way through my third cut, my electric chain saw breaks - the drive system on this piece of junk is plastic and it stripped out. OK, I will decide to go buy the posts for the grape arbor my DW wants me to build. For some reason the pressure treated 4X4s seemed especially heavy and, while unloading them from my little RAV4, I tweaked something in my back. I finally gave up and retreated to the recliner for an afternoon of football on TV. At least my teams (UofO Ducks and WSU Cougars) both won easily.

    Singing in church this morning, watching Seahawks this afternoon.

    Have a great day all.

    Good Morning!

    Kind of a lazy day yesterday. Connie and I bought a new water fountain to put on our deck. We also went out for a nice dinner last night.

    Wild thunderstorms last night. Our power was out for 4 hours.

    I hope that everyone has a great day!

    Funny how DM and DMIL's contribute to our health :-).....

    Can I get an Amen on this Sunday morning? Sam?

    AMEN!!! That can be said again.
    DW even tells doctor reason her BP up is because of her DM.
    DD, DSIL and DGS headed home, good to see them come and good to see them go. Can't keep-up with DGS too long at at a time. But he does behave better than DMIL.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Had a guest Pastor from Ghana at church this morning. After the service he spoke about his work. Interesting.
    • Jacks' a pro.
    • Nice dinner with nephew and his wife at the OK Cafe last night. One of our favorite places to eat in Atlanta. I just learned it was named after the cafe in "To Kill a Mocking Bird".
    • Packers help open up the new Mercedes Benz stadium with the Falcons tonight on Sunday Night Football. Okay, I know we're not all pulling for the same team.
    • I'm with Lou.

    Hi everyone!
    Raine, had I told you that Jim saw Jack? I couldn't remember. I think it's cool that he recognized him immediately!
    Sam, when my DMIL had those sores, I found that really cold smoothies soothed them. She wasn't eating much at the time and was a bit underweight, so I added ice cream to them. The creamy coldness helped and got a few calories into her so that she could maintain some strength.
    Mary, I don't know the band, but that sounds like fun! I love how you two are always doing things together ... your life is an adventure!
    I need to get ready for church tonight, too. I hope the sound stuff goes better than last week! I think it will, simply because I'm not expecting things to be in order like I was. Also, I have Jim on drums instead of the new kid we had last week, and I'm more familiar with his style. It makes a difference.

    Oh! And I had a blast with my friends in Ohio! Pictures on fb ... we played dress up and took silly pics ... naturally. What else would 3 adult women do at a slumber party?

    Lisa, I saw the pics. How fun!!
    See, mothers do cause blood pressure to spike, at least my mom does. Ha.
    I worked cleaning out every kitchen cabinet from 8 until 1015 then from 1 until 4. About 4 bags of trash and man do I love throwing stuff away. It's like an . Aphrodisiac. Ha.
    GO PACK GO
