Nice Jeep, Skip! How are things in DC coming along? Calmed at all? Enjoy the soup, Lee! I wish I liked soup more. Mary, I decided that I'm my Christmas decor makes me happy and I'm leaving it up until that changes. I'm taking my Christmas tree "one day at a time" - ha! That said, I do think I'll take it down by this…

And the person who posted above you, Kelly, has 0 posts, even though he obviously just posted. Crazy! That said, you are one talented woman!

So sorry about your DMIL, Sam ... I'm praying, too, right now before I type the next thing. I've never had my hair cut in a barber shop. Jim has, but not for a very long time. For at least 20 years he's gone to the salon a la our kitchen. Sometimes I dress racy and let him pay me later, too. He seems cool with it. I saw…

I just want to say that getting to see and talk with Sam, JoAnn, Lou, and Dennis all in the past 2 days has MADE ME SO HAPPY! You have no idea. I'm floating around on cloud 9! Thank you guys for sharing yourselves with me! This is my first week with 11 workshops. I'm excited! Then Saturday morning my worship team and I are…

New thing, in case you hadn't heard, Dennis. LT members no longer have to pay for a Monthly Pass to come back. Instead, you can attend all the workshops you want, both Virtual and/or In-Person, plus have all the digital tools, for the monthly fee of 14.95 (which is what eTools are when the free months expire). I love this!…

We usually do a lot of food in stockings ... kiwi, raspberries, a bottle of something yummy to drink while they open other gifts (like a fancy flavored water), Lindor truffles, something Reeces, chex mix, other novelty Christmas treats, stuff like that. This year I may put some cute masks in there, too. My oldest daughter…

Kelly, your Christmas table is beautiful! I'd love to see the little lights all lit up, too. Enjoy that Altima! Jim drives a Rogue ... I like it a lot. And that's absolutely crazy about your friend's husband. It blows my mind that people don't see this reality. Dd20 and her bf have it, too. They're recovering nicely, thank…

We spend about $130 on 23 or so windows ... a grand sounds crazy to me! Lots going on here. We're in the midst of the renovations, and I'm LOVING the changes! I painted the red wall blue (it was not political, I promise), the fireplace surround is almost finished, the cupboards have been painted and the doors will get new…

I am so sorry, Raine! I'll admit that I was a MESS when I saw this on fb ... even though I only met him once, I "followed" his heroism and exploits like he was a friend. He really left his mark on this world, didn't he? So many others are better because of him. And YOU. Love you, my friend.
-
Hellooooooooooooo, BBB! Lots of stuff happening here. I'm busy with meetings and workshops and music and grandkids and kids and sponsees and date nights and church and all that. I wrote a $17,000 check last night to the builder, solidifying the renovations that start on Nov. 9. For the most part, life is good! Hugs all…

I hadn't heard about NC, either ... but I know I've been away a lot lately. My bff goes to Wilmington Beach frequently and she always has good things to say. Let us know what you think! I've been thinking of you a lot, Lee. That pic is pretty awesome! You all look so fancy in your tuxes. How'd the Bible Study go, Sam?…
-
Oh, Lee! I am heartbroken with you! I know what a source of strength he was for you, how much he shaped you, how connected you were through the years, how much you were fed by his love and respect. As hard as this loss is, I am also so happy that you HAD him. You are in my prayers right this very moment. I ask God to hold…
-
Good morning! Beautiful pic, Steph! WOW! I hope your gathering goes beautifully, Skip. Sorry about the extra expense, Lee ... cars are expensive, and it's never one-and-done. My girls and I are doing music for a "telethon" for a church this morning. It should be fun! If it's not too bad, I might post a link later on my fb.…

Skip, a dear friend of mine is married to the mayor of Pollocksville (no joke ... that's the name ... it's tiny, too) which is a coastal NC town. She loves it there! Dave: "We were always pretty frugal, living on less than half what I was making" <-- I respect that SO MUCH. HUGELY. And I've seen some pics of the fires, too…
-
Sounds like a perfect weekend, Skip! Kelly - OH NO! Sheesh! I'm glad no one was hurt, but that's SO frustrating. Dave, I'm an 80's music girl all the way! But then I like pretty much ALL music, including disco, except jazz. Jazz is just too disorganized for me ... I get annoyed. Your church is so blessed to have you,…
-
I hope everything goes smoothly this morning with tech, Dennis! We don't have a service tonight because of the holiday. I plan to visit a friend's virtual WS this morning, then I'm taking another friend shopping for her birthday (I always get her a new outfit ... she's lost 133 pounds with WW and isn't very good at…
-
Why YES, yes I do want to meet up! We have Saturday free, I believe, and Sunday morning, so let us know your schedule for those days.
-
Going off what Dennis said, I think it beats the heck out of Mickey D's BECAUSE you have to bring your own grub. HA! And the view. The view ROCKS. Good luck dryer hunting, Kelly. Appliances are in high demand for some reason during this quarantine ... I know people who've had to wait weeks for a fridge. Who all of you is…

I like yesterday's format, so ... Drink coffee 3 booked in-person Workshops Nap 1 more booked in-person Workshop Walk Bed It was another busy family weekend. And our church service started up again for fall, too, which was beyond awesome. MAN, I've missed that! It was the first time we've all been together since March.…

Happy Tuesday, BBB! It's a lovely day in West Michigan this morning. We're getting ready for fall - we're watching 3 grands on Friday and are taking Anabelle school shopping, on Saturday we're celebrating Dd28's birthday (she'll be Dd29!), and on Sunday our recovery church services start up again for fall…
-
Steph, it looks like you'll be a little less than 2 hours away. We definitely have to get together for a meal!
-
I'm pretty sure she did turn to crime, Lou. It's one of those sad, sad stories. I love you, Lee. On the crime note, I heard from someone recently who I hadn't in many decades. He was 1 year older than me, and grew up in the house next to mine. Ours was a bad neighborhood ... and I really, really mean that. It was downright…
-
I have an idea! Steph, you should PICK UP MARY and BRING HER to Michigan! :smiley: I know - brilliant, right? Where will you be again and when? Look what popped up in my memories today. It's from 6 years ago now ... we were just pups. Of course this is when he visited my workshop and still talks about how awful I was ...…
-
Good morning, BBB! Great workshop this morning. It helps that a dozen or so WW Coaches come to that one ... they talk, they're full of insight, and they go deep. I love that group! Someone hit goal, too. It made for lots of inspiration! We had a nice weekend! Dd24 and my grandson were here from Wed - Fri, we had date night…
-
Wow, Skip! Congrats!!! I hope Rita feels better soon. You are a good man to stay with her when she's down. I agree with Sam, Lou ... celebrate her birthday ALL week! I prefer the entire month, myself ... I call it Princess Lisa Month. Maybe Ron can play a little extra tonight to make up for last night? I'm glad the dog…
-
Lee, my Dd24 and her hubby did that, too. In fact, they're coming up on their real 3 year anniversary very soon, although their actual wedding was only 2 years ago. I think it's kinda romantic! Sorry about the fishing, but I'm glad you slept well. Maybe that was the plan? Have you ever wondered about the game of darts?…
-
Cowboy Lou! Yee-haw! Sorry about MIL issues, Skip and Sam. That sucks. That sounds like such a great start to the day, Lee! Enjoy the family, Steph! Dennis, I love your ROMEO stuff. Mary, you're such a go-getter! Today was back to normal with 2 WW workshops and 2 AA meetings and other various commitments. Lily was spayed a…
-
Hi everyone! Yep ... we just got back from our annual trek to Burt Lake, up by Mackinaw. For the first time ever, I took the entire week off and stayed. Usually I just do a half week. It was fun! Crazy, too, with 3 babies in the house. We had 9 people (including the 3 little ones ... 1 who is 1, 1 that's 3 months, and 1…
-
LOVED the pic of you and your son and dil, David! So awesome! I love fireflies, too. Every year I remind my husband that if MY tush lit up like that, I'd be the most popular woman on the planet. He agrees. Ha ha! I'm so glad Lou and Cecilia are together again! YAY! I hope they're smooching right now! SO AWESOME that Skip…

Lounging in a pool sounds like a nice way to spend a day, Skip! I hope your back is doing well. Happy Fathers' Day to all you amazing BBB menfolk! I hope you got spoiled a little on Sunday. Yay for the ROMEO coffee time! I'm having coffee with a new friend on Friday ... I haven't had a coffee date in a LONG time. Good luck…
