Do we have any active members living in Florida? We have a lot of friends there; some right in the path of Ian, but out of the way right now. Just really worried about them and their homes. Praying for everyone. Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Thanks Lanette! Always good to remember our Gold Star families. I'm so glad that hubby is improving, Katla. DARLING pix of Athena, Rebecca! IDK about you, but hair always looks healthier to me when those ends are cut. And she's such a looker! Off to work! Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Praying for Josie, Karen. She is a tough cookie. OMgosh jam0525, I'm sorry for your losses! Glad you found us. Cheering out Vikings today! Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Glad you're back, Jeannie. Hi Leigh! Welcome! Oh Vicki, I hope you're right and she quits. Those kinds are not fun. Looks like loads of fun, Rebecca! You're all just beautiful. Lanette, I hope you start feeling better soon. I hate allergies and head colds. I'm sorry it's morphed into that. You didn't need that too! And an…

Happy Anniversary, Debbie! Work is SO MUCH nicer on a big screen. I actually feel like I'm getting work done now. (cuz I am) And my neck doesn't hurt. Have a GREAT Tuesday! Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Rita, so pleased that you got through and can teach again. Karen, that photo is gorgeous! Katla, so glad you could spend time with hubby again. I'm sure that was wonderful for his spirits and yours too. Heather! That's amazing!!! Congrats to Edie... And well done, son! I am just in awe of them both. And those little…

Welcome back Betsy!!! Did you have a WONDERFUL summer? Well, I thought I HAD gone directly to tech, M! I went to my SPED tech. We're not supposed to go to our building techs if we're in SPED. It's a whole hierarchy thing. I was following the rules! Glad you got to see hubby, Katla. Good for your soul. Hope he gets moved…

HAHAHA! Yes, still employed Lanette. In fact, she never even answered me. SO frustrating. But VERY long story short, had an issue with printing the other day and the tech guy from our building came to my office yesterday, saw my set up and said (in not these words) "WTH?!?" I told him my long story and he was slightly…

Well done PIP!!! Love the hat, definitely deserved an award. Nursing for ALS is a special task, Rosemarie. Freddy's dad had that. We tried to help him for as long as we could, but we had to call in expert help later. I do hope she works out for you. If not, you'll find someone. That's certainly what I feel like, Lanette!…

Sending love, prayers and hugs, Katla! Off to work. Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Karen, I'm sure he will be absolutely thrilled. How wonderful that you found a guitar for him. He's quite talented. Off to work. We shall see. Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Sue, those fires are SO scary! We're getting some eerie sunsets in MN. I can't imagine what y'all are living through so close. Please be safe. Thank you for reminding me, Tina! That WILL BE my next line of defense. No, Lanette, that was not an option they gave me. According to them, my office was "ready", meaning it was…

Well, we'll see if I still have a job on Monday. Went home early with a massive headache, neck pain and backache yesterday. Wrote to my boss/supervisor, whatever you want to call her and basically asked her where the heck the disconnect/miscommunication went awry? Very politely, but firmly. I explained that I'm only asking…

I'm SORRY Carol!!! Didn't mean to upset your dreams with my everyday. But I still don't have my monitor and I'm really ready to quit! Glad hubby's tooth got pulled before the infection got ot his whole body! Hope your foot feels better. Tina, the problem is I DON'T HAVE A MONITOR! I have a teeny, tiny 13" laptop! I'm…

First day went okay. SO tired when I got home but no time for rest. A dear friend was home from Italy (I think that's where she's living now) and we were planning our dinner later this week. Then I had a card-making class last night. So, busy-busy. My principal came in to introduce herself and she's about "18". lol...…

OMG! 6am comes early when you haven't done this in two-and-a-half years! Well, I'm off to school ladies! Have a GREAT DAY! Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

SCARY, SCARY, Tracey! I heard they were suggesting some neighboring provinces shelter too. Did that include Alberta? WHAT is wrong with some people? Prayers to everyone. SO true, Karen. Got rid of some more "things" yesterday. YAY ME! Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN

Pip, that table is so pretty! Barbie, Karen! THAT is one of my biggest problems. I just can't THROW stuff away. I can give it away, no problem. Don't need the cash. The other issue however is motivation. Just getting started. However, yesterday, I tossed several other bags of just trash. When I tossed those couple totes, I…

Just donated, PIP! Thanks for reposting the link, Karen! Decluttering is a HUGE thing for me. I'm a hoarder, but I'm not one of those crazy hoarders. I'm a saver. And I have bags of "stuff" everywhere. I know I should go through it and I should be able to toss most of it as I haven't looked at a lot of it in years.…

Interestingly M, I'm just not sure about the two screens thing. That kinda freaks me out. I know it's supposed to be seamless, but I just don't get the tech. BUT yes, tech is amazing! Who'da'thunk that 30 years ago! OH man, what are those flowers? Those are so pretty! I am getting more cautiously excited about my office.…

Thanks for starting us out in September, Barbie!!! Tracey, that castle and dragon is so cool! God Bless, Rebecca. It all sounds like it's going to be wonderful and I'm so glad you're going to be there to help your sister "enjoy" it. I know people like that, I am people like that, who always want to tend to others. Then…

Margaret, I'm so glad you enjoyed THE FAIR for us! We haven't gone back in years and don't intend to! LOL! WAY too much for us old geezers anymore. Everything you said is true and so hilarious. Love our state fair and it's one of THE BEST, but it's just too much and we've found it just doesn't change enough. Kids still…
