A bus just came through - schools must be on a delay. Good - seems a shame to waste a snow day on such a small event.

Good morning. I'm the one who's happy with the weather. The air is bracing and smells clean. Snow day here as well - for under an inch. Really???!‽‽! Not much new here - going to try to accomplish several small tasks here. I might bake bread but won't decide until after coffee. Have a great day!
-
Good morning. Weather here was divine this weekend - cold front on the way, including flurries here later. You are all so multitalented! Home renovation, surviving chainsaws, crafting toys and blankets and clothing, writing books ... y'all make me feel like a slug! Diane, wishing John the very best with the knee. I've been…

Good morning! Finally having coffee (once a month I have to wait an hour after taking Boniva, and it's not pretty). It's gorgeous here today and yes, MY weather. James is not a fan of the cold - he has to golf in - gasp - long pants! Guys and shorts - weird to me, but ... The chat about scheduling meals hit home here too.…

Happy birthday, Beet! Hope you are surrounded with family and love all day. Diane, the pirate ship was really cute. I normally don’t like bees, but the rare and precious Wingless Elise Bee is a worthy exception. What a cutie - how’s she feeling? Eating was quite good yesterday. Yay!
-
Good morning, all. Did OK yesterday but caved to peanut M&Ms when offered in the evening. Rats. Sipping coffee now after a weird (but not atypical) night. My recent pattern is to sleep for 1-3 hours, be awake for at least two hours, then maybe get another hour or more. It's a classic rainy day here - something we've seen…
-
Good morning and TGIF. Diane, hope Elise shows improvement today - poor little thing. Having you to snuggle with is a blessing. Bert, how did your visits go? Please tell us the new fridge is working perfectly - no wonder Sears is on the brink of going down. Nearly all my clothes as a kid came from Sears - we'd get the big…

Good morning. Managed to keep my intake reasonable yesterday - am experimenting with different things (foods, times of day, etc.) and really focusing on Pause and "No, thanks." Even turned down Chex Mix and peanuts last night (James ate two big bowls and I had none). Any day I can do that is a good one in my book. Karla,…

Hello, all. I've read everything and will do personals soon. My heart goes out to Karla and her family - can't imagine how awful this is for them all. I've been busy with all manner of things here and just haven't spent much time at the computer, which is not a bad thing, and I'm trying to keep my phone down most of the…

Paula, your mom looks great. Happy to hear she was having a good day during your visit - her smile says it all. Those moments are true treasures. Patti, that elephant motif is just so sweet - he should look at licensing the drawing for all sorts of baby/kid things, shirts for parents, embroidery, etc. Talented family!…
-
Good morning, all. Bert, the little guys are adorable tiny humans. Can't wait to see you and Mike holding them. Glad you had a just-Cole night. I always treasured the rare times I had grandparents all to myself - thanks for triggering many happy memories. Patti, Leo is just the sweetest, and that pic in particular shows so…
-
Great pic, Diane. Reading to little ones is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
-
Cindy, glad you were able to stop in - and to find stories that will help you gird your loins for the struggles you and Rick are facing. You're never far from my thoughts and I'm available if you need to talk, of course. Karla, praying that Kerry gets a full workup and treatment plan, and that he is always as comfortable…
-
Paula, do what you can do. Very glad Kati is there to watch over you. Please give your doc a call this morning and sleep as much as you can. (It really stinks that diabetic supplies are so expensive too. In my world, everyone with blood sugar issues would have a 24-hour monitor and auto-inject insulin system!) Not much new…
-
DANG - lost a post. Paula, sending healing thoughts your way - steroids suck, but better than nothing. Please don't push yourself while you're recovering from this relapse. Patti, I always smile when I think of you and your mom chatting and laughing. Bert, get to Chicago OK? When you finally get the new fridge, please post…
-
Hi, all - overdue for a quick stop-by. Things are good here (except for the dagblasted hideous weather continuing). Am also trying to get a handle on food here ... did pretty well at Bonefish. Unlike my birthday dinner, when the service was (uncharacteristically) slow and surly, this was a terrific experience. Our server…
-
Paula, hope tiny Luis is better and hasn't passed anything along to you, Adi, Kati, Luis, Alex, or Diego. I trust everyone is staying hydrated. Karla, we know you are doing everything in your power to ensure that Kerry is comfortable and loved every moment; it's sacred time and that's what counts. Patti, condolences on…
-
Diane, hope I didn't offend with my remrk on the photos. My bad. Bert, you've earned a somewhat leisurely day. Enjoy. Patti, bet you'll be with your mom today and will have a blast. Karla, read your FB post about Kerry - sending up many prayers. Paula, kiss the little ones' heads for me. Cindy, hope things are going well…
-
Diane, what wonderful news! Honestly, I had wondered whether it was camera angle or a baby in the shots of Elise at the park with Rosssnne. Elise will be a terrific big sister. Gotta run see you tomorrow!
-
Hi, everyone - Seems we're all busy and doing OK. Good news overall. Paula, listen to your legs and the rest of you. I know it's lots of work but having Adi and little Luis to make you smile is a blessing. Karla, happy that your thyroid meds are working better for you. I hope to get another adjustment this fall - feeling a…
-
A quick hello from Louisville. Bert, smart to email everything to your students - giving them backup is the kind thing to do. Hope they are the best crop yet. Paula, the kitchen looks amazing, Stove goes on the left? It's way humid here today. We've had several breaks of 1-2 days of decent (no more than low 80s, less…
-
Good morning! Time to check in while I sip coffee. Patti, you are a gift to all your friends, but particularly for this one. You've told me a bit about her unenviable situation and I know the extra hands are needed for her lawfully-wedded handful. Paula, kids re so resilient - glad Luis is OK, but you did the right thing…
-
Paula, thanks for the pics - the kids and Kati all look wonderful. Diego is taller but that smile remains the same! Quick fill-in - James is one of my best friends. I used to visit him in SC but after a truly terrible breakup (she became a real piece of work, playing major head games), he really needed to be elsewhere. He…
-
Good morning! Patti & Paula, let's reschedule - my next week looks pretty full. We'll find a good IN day when Bert's available. Bert, sure hope you get a new fridge YESTERDAY! You and Mike should bill them for the zillion hours you had to put in simply to get what you deserved in the first place. We'll all cheer when you…
-
Slept in today and am fine with a late start to errands. I'll keep the run minimal because tomorrow's the first day of school here and stores will probably be busy. Bert, fingers crossed for tomorrow's continuation of Fridgegate. Tell them we will all converge and yell at them if they don't give you a fancy new fridge NOW!…
-
Hi, everyone. Bert, enjoy your day. Wish I had your early-morning energy (working on coffee now). I sure hope Sears gets their act together - you really deserve far more than a new fridge out of all this.Do get your shoulder checked out. Karla, is Glenn getting any relief? I had a very tiny kidney stone 40 years ago and…
-
Patti, glad your nearest and dearest are OK but the events of the weekend sickened me. Bert, good luck getting Mike's itch under control. Maybe he's allergic to the fridge saga .... Karla, following your FB posts. Of course you're doing the right things for Kerry - your work experience around medical people, coupled with…
-
I'm in for the 27th!
-
Good morning! The sun is out here and it's lovely - as long as you're looking at the sun from inside an air conditioned place. Lots of small tasks to accomplish today but thought I'd check in over coffee. Karla, sending daily prayers for your dad and Kerry. Glad your esophageal issue was minor - you've dealt with enough…
-
Hello - Been very busy around here but have read all. Had a delightful (as always) with Patti yesterday. Just what I needed! Bert, I'm up for a drive to IN for another lunch - late August/early September. Lots to do around the house in the next week - just a big push to accomplish a few things. Now to get the energy ...…
