Janet: We started out with rain in the 40’s yesterday. I went to pick up the college car for my visit today. It got colder throughout the day and then snowed a couple of inches. When it stopped snowing, it was misting ice Accor to our Schwan’s man. When I took the car back to the college today, it took me 30 minutes to…

Good Morning, Ladies. I didn't have to go to my visit as my student's school was closed. Yay! We rescheduled for Thursday afternoon. So, all I have to do today is return the college car and get my own back. Have a great day, everyone!

Patti: I stated a few nice things but left out many things. It’s just for a mock interview, so it’s not binding. Actual she’s doing a little better this placement than last placement so maybe there’s hope. From fire pit to snow shovels in 24 hours! I’m supposed to travel in the morning but I’ll cancel if necessary. I’ve…

Janet: Congratulations on being Dolly Domestic! Love that term. It feels good to get things done, doesn't it. I'm trying to organize, especially closets. They tend to be the last thing that gets done.

Good Morning, Ladies. I finally have a morning that I don't have to get up and travel! Last week was brutal! I went to South Bend and Merrillville, IN as well as local visits. The next couple of weeks are busy as well, but I'm happy to say after that will be smooth sailing. I need to get my flu shot this week and check…

Good Morning, Ladies. I'm traveling today to northern IN for a student visit this afternoon and tomorrow morning. So, I won't be posting much for the next couple of days. I didn't get to have my firepit yesterday as it was too windy; much disappointed. Have a great day, everyone! Bert

Good Morning, Ladies. After church, it's fire pit day! I'm so looking forward to it. Last night a group of us went to an Amish dinner. I definitely overate as everything was so good. The passed around a pitcher for us to pay for our meal. We had a great time. Diane: I'm sure you did burn off the cookies. I need to burn off…

Good Morning, Ladies. It's another sunny day here today. I'm going to finish cleaning up the house, and get outside to do some yardwork. I need to address a few flower beds in preparation for winter. Have a great day. Bert

Good Morning, Ladies. I'm thankful that it's sunny today. Yesterday was a miserable day and it eventually snowed a little. We only had 4 trick-or-treaters last night, but had several Wednesday night. I've been very busy traveling for student visits. I have a visit today, but it's local. Next week, I'm traveling to northern…

Good Morning, Ladies. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. It was a great day! I got to FaceTime with Dylan, Penny, Dan, Annie, and Lindsey and Justin with the twins. Mike and I went to Cole's soccer game and then Greg, Carrie, Cole, and Jillian went to "Linner" with us. I like to call it linner as it combines lunch and…

Good Morning, Ladies. Yesterday was a gloomy day.....it rained all day and then the wind started. We were going to attend Jillian's soccer tournament in Indy, but decided not to go due to the weather. Greg said she played well despite the weather. He also said 3 girls quit during the 1:00 game and one was the coach's…

Good Morning, Ladies. I have two visits today and will be traveling most of the day. I'll try to make healthy eating choices. Have a great day, everyone! It's time to get ready to go. Bert

Diane: I agree. Lindsey got the crystal pieces from the woman that I wanted. I only asked for 5 pieces. They remind me of events that were special to my mom. I just wish my step dad would have talked it over with me before he gave it all away. I have several pieces of her jewelry that are so important to me. Fridgegate is…

Good Morning, Ladies. Eating was not good yesterday. Today is a new day, and I'm bound and determined to do well today. Diane: I like the challenge. I'm definitely doing it! I want to see results so badly. I need to get back to the gym as well. I don't have anything planned for tomorrow, so I'm going! So sorry to hear…

Good Morning, Ladies. I'm heading out of town today to watch Jilian play soccer. Then Mike and I are eating out the friends tonight. The neighbors are having a firepit tonight, but I don't know if we will make it. It just depends on what time we get back. The funeral and funeral dinner was nice. My BFF paid me to play at…

Good Morning, Ladies. Today, I need to clean up my "office" area as that is where the attic entrance is (in the closet). The HVAC technician came and fixed (hopefully) the drainage issue. This summer, the AC was not draining in the gutter as it should. I attributed it to our old guttering being pulled away from the roof;…

Good Morming, Ladies. I have multiple visits today. I’m currently in between two. Then this afternoon I meet with the Trustees Chair to inspect the parsonage. Glad that is the last time as I’m officially off the committee at the end of the year. Lindsey and Justin are doing as well as can be expected. I think the boys are…

Good Morning, Ladies. It has been very busy here. Yesterday I traveled for a student visit. After being in the car for 13 hours on Saturday, I wasn't looking forward to traveling again. I don't know why Mike wanted to complete the trip in one day (we also drove 13 hours on our way down there as well) as we are too old to…

So they started doing that. Lindsey said the boys had a better night last night, but Gramma was awake for most of it.

Good Morning, Ladies. We are currently on the road home. I’ve only had about an hour of sleep. The nursery is directly above the spare bedroom downstairs. I’m a very light sleeper and heard everything from Justin walking on the hardwood floors, babies crying to get fed and changed, getting bottles ready, etc. I’ll…

They’re home!!! Max is on the right. Alex is on the left. SO happy!!

Diane: it’s perfectly fine. All is good. I think Lindsey’s mom and I are closer now that the boys are here. Mike doesn’t understand the friendship but life is too short in my opinion. She wasn’t pleasant with us when Lindsey was young, but that’s all water under the bridge in my book.

Good Morning, Ladies. Alex gets to come home today! Maddux will follow after he gains more weight. I’m excited to be able to hold Alex at home! Diane: Lindsey is Mike’s biological daughter, but she was 2 when we married.

Good morning, Ladies. We made it but traffic was horrendous. Took us almost 13 hours however, we got to see the twins in person. So it was worth it.

Good Morning, Ladies. We are traveling today to go see the babies! Oh, and Lindsey and Justin! :) I'll check in later...........have great day, everyone! Bert

Good Morning, Ladies. They're here! Alex and Maddux were born yesterday. Alex was 4 lb 2 oz and 17" long. Maddux was 3 lb 13 oz and 16" long. I can't wait to see them in person next Monday! The top picture is Maddux (Max) and the bottom picture is Alexander (Alex). I'm traveling today to visit students in northern IN and…

Good Morning, Ladies. Today is the day! We will be grandparents again! Lindsey is scheduled for her C-Section at noon. So anxious to see them! Diane: I'll be thinking of you on Friday. I still track on both WW and MFP as I like to see the the calories and points I'm eating. Some days are better than others at tracking. I…

Good Morning, Ladies. Tomorrow is the day! Mike and I will be grandparents again! I can't wait to see pictures of the twins! We will be driving down on Sunday (per Lindsey's request) and will stay for a week. It's a very busy week here getting prepared for our trip as well as visiting students in Chicago. I leave on…
