Wow!!! SOOOOOO gorgeous!!!!

Lee, we saw Top Gun the first weekand were very entertained! I thought the underplot could have been better developed, but the action part/plot was PHENOMENAL. And because of the music and the sounds of the planes and the sweeping videography, I'm really glad we saw it on the big screen. Kelly, it is. And we LOVE her df!…

Hello, everyone! It's only 11 days now until the wedding ... we're getting excited! Woo-hooo! The bachelor and bachelorette parties were this past Saturday, so we had all 4 grands all day. It was CRAZY. It's truly unbelievable how many diapers I changed. I got my hair colored and trimmed today, I'll do the boys' hair this…

It was 86 here today! And it's supposed to be in the mid-80's the rest of the week. I'm LOVING it! Skip, he was supposed to come home today, but now it's looking more like Thursday. Maybe. As for WW, I LOVE the new CEO. LOVE HER. She's fixing all the stuff that the last one broke, imho. And I genuinely like her as a human…

It sounds like you've got another procedure on Wednesday, Skip? Recovering around a pool sounds kinda nice. Lee, what do you do when she misbehaves? I wish I could get mine to stop barking at people walking by. Have fun on your trip, Dave! Sam, I love how you wrote, "pups can be as stubborn as KIDS" ... as if KIDS have a…

Good morning, everyone! Some updates on my life: * WW has a new CEO and I think I love her. We're invited to say "WeightWatchers" instead of only WW, and she wants to build in-person workshops again. So far, I've genuinely liked everything I've seen or read of her. I really disliked our last one for a bajillion reasons. I…

We were also broke 20 years olds (still in college, with a 4 month old daughter). We had a tiny wedding in a really big church (which made it look even tinier!), and the reception in the fellowship hall. The church ladies made ham buns and my dad made the cake. No alcohol or music. World's most boring reception. I think…

Just fyi, there is a max of 3 dogs allowed. :smile:

WOW! That's GORGEOUS, Mary! And personal, too! He's a winner! I'm so so so happy for you!

Congratulations Mary and Tom!! That's SO exciting!!!! Please post a pic of that ring, okay? A black opal sounds so exotic! Happy birthday again, Lou! You wanted the Frozen stuff ... you can't fool us. I've had a productive weekend, starting with getting the Bible painted. It didn't turn out as great as I'd hoped, but Jamie…

So I know I've missed a lot, but what's up with your digestive health, Skip? You look good in the pic! I'll bet you're an awesome elder, Dave. That's a tough job! Jim did one term at a really awful church and will never go near it again. Lee, "the young one" was only 6 when I found the boards, so probably about 7 or 8 when…

Hi everyone! It's a GORGEOUS weekend in Michigan .. yesterday hit 80, and today is supposed to be low 70's. HEAVENLY. Then it will get into the 40's this week again, so we won't get used to it. We sure did enjoy it yesterday, though! A friend had given Jim and me tickets to see the Redwings, so we spent most of the day in…

Congrats, Skip!!! Yay!

Thanks for all the birthday love, everyone! I'm going to choose to stay in my innocent little bubble where "cake day" means a day to celebrate a birthday and enjoy sugary baked goods. I'm rooting for you, Skip! Skip, Skip, he's our man! So what do you do on a rainy day off, Lee? Are you a reader? I obviously missed…

Thanks everyone! It was a perfect day! :)

My day: * not enough sleep * WW workshop (online ... my bff coaches it) * church * really awesome nap that I didn't want to get up from * made a few centerpieces for Dd21's bridal shower * AA * home, dinner, rest That sweet boy looks awfully content there, Skip!

Kelly, I LOVE that house he bought! LOVE it! My Dd25 and her hubby just had an offer accepted, too, but it's an older ranch ... not as cute as your Ds's. But it will serve them well either way! We had your weather, Mary. It snowed all day today, but it's warm enough that it should all be gone again by tomorrow. Tis…

Hello everyone! Just getting ready for Bible study right now, and I thought I'd take a minute to check in. Jim is away on business, which means the house is quiet for a few days. I'm subbing in the morning, then having a friend and DD21 and her Dfiance over for dinner and a movie tomorrow night. We're going to watch…

Such a beautiful picture, Lee! Sorry about the ribbon, and I'm sad to read that you're not a hugger. If we ever meet in person, expect to be very uncomfortable because I AM A HUGGER. Any pics from last night, Skip? I always love seeing what you decide to wear to fancy events! And I really hope that you and DMIL can mend…

Lee, I'm assuming March 13 is clock-changing day? It's so gorgeous and sunny here today ... it even smells like spring! But snow and freezing rain are in store for tomorrow. Yuck. Skip, I think I'd swear off Jeeps after all that. Sheesh! Sassy looks like she's great with the littles, Dave - what a blessing! Happy…

Good morning, BBB! Good luck with the election, Skip! And I hope the Jeep is all you hoped for. Things have been busy as usual around here. We have our Valentine's Day celebration on Saturday, so that's on my mind all week. I'm looking forward to it! My friend from Cleveland is coming, too, and will stay with us until…

Hi everyone! I'm just doing a quick checkin before my Bible study starts, which is in about 10 minutes. Have a great night!

You're a classy guy, Dave! You are, too, Dennis. When you mentioned watching my girls grow up, it occured to me that you've done just that. I've been friends with some of you for 15 years now ... which means Courtney was 15, Danielle was 10, and Jamie was 6 when we first met. That's crazy! I hope it all goes well for you,…

I love all the doggie pictures! Mr, Tucker (welcome home to him!), Lucy (and welcome back to her, too!), Sassy, the dog-sits ... so much pooch joy! Enjoy the moments loving and being loved. ((((Lou)))))) I'm with everyone else ... let the landlords deal with the details, and relax at the hotel. Are they paying for meals…

Hi everyone! Mary, I'd LOVE to see your design, if you're cool with that. My bff had a ring designed and made a couple years ago, and it's phenomenal. I hope you get approved, Skip! That little guy will be one blessed pooch! I'm no where even close to TRYING for that job ... just sayin'. I signed up for the service to…

I'm so sorry about your friend's son, Kelly ... that's so heartbreaking. I'm sure she's infinitely grateful for your love and support through it. Skip, that dog is totally adorable! Girl? Boy? How would you describe the personality? Lee, you'd be a fabulous ROMEO. Nothing too exciting here. Work. Meetings. I'm doing a life…

Our Peloton came yesterday, and I used it a teensy bit today. Boy, it's gonna take some time for me to build up any endurance! My life of leisure has impacted me. And on that note ... I've gotten through 2 and a half of the books I got for Christmas. I TOTALLY LOVED Firefly Lane (I'd already read the sequel ... I did it…

Yay to Georgia! We could root for them this time. Of course, I didn't ACTUALLY watch it ... but I was rooting for them in spirit as I read in bed. That counts, right? And I read that they'd won as soon as I logged onto fb ... my bff is a Georgia alum. I had SO MUCH FUN the last couple days! A very very dear friend of mine…

Happy Monday, BBB! It was a nice, quiet weekend here. We tried out a new church, and found a bunch of old friends at it. That was cool! We might go back. Then I got the Christmas stuff all cleaned up and packed away ... we're back to normal around here. On Friday our new Peloton comes, so we got the room all set up for…

Hey Everyone! We had a great time in NC with our friends, and now we're back to regular life again. MI didn't do so hot ... so my strategy is to deny knowledge of a game at all. Game? There was a game? I didn't notice. But today was back to work. And, a group of my members had asked me to come over for coffee and to share…
