Very cool and windy here, has rained off and on and maybe some tomorrow. I will be glad to say goodby to it for awhile. We use Home Advisor.com to get our work done and we have an appointment with a landscaper tomorrow afternoon just to get an idea of what needs to be done. When setting up the appointment, I wrote that we…

Cheri, love the stand where you have your rulers. I always thought the wall between my sewing table was supposed to hold those things! I gave all my quilting things away to my sister's daughter when she started it up. She hand sews everything in her quilts since she doesn't have a quilt. She is trying to make quilts for…

Lenora, thanks for the suggestions. I hate Bradford pear. I know so many people love them because of their uniform shape. A neighbor across the street has one and half is dead and half is alive. They hate to cut it down because it isn't dead. And you are right, they split so quickly in the wind. And we can get some high…

Here are a couple of pictures. This one is of my bedroom looking at the window. I guess the sun is to bright coming in the window to see the pretty curtain and shears. The curtain is almost the color of my wall and the shears have a nice pattern in them. If you look close you can see the jewelry armoire that I bought for…

Lisa, what a wonderful story and MFP connection. Good luck in your new job. Have totally enjoyed having windows open today. It was 67 when I got up, 71 now. this is what I paid almost $7000 for. that cat is enjoying it also. Will post a picture later of my bedroom. It has two of my quilts. My pride and joy is on my bed and…

I think Pip is bottom row, 1st one. Bedroom windows in now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It does look different to have a uniform look. I will post a picture later. Charlie was asking what we do now. I think he really wants to get into the landscaping but I am afraid of the sticker shock. I don't know if he thinks it will only cost about…

i can't remember what was going on in my life yesterday but I don't think I posted at all, or read for that matter. So I had like 7 pages to read. No way I could remember what was written. All I can remember is that we have several new members! Way to go. Nancy had the largest 'get to know me' post I think I have read…

Dana, love the house all set back in the trees and nice curb appeal. Looks like a nice place to just sit and watch the world. Went somewhere tonight we usually don't. We were out running some errands and the place we went to eat was real cool. Us old people on blood thinners just can't take that. He had a long sleeve shirt…

My windows are in!!!!!! They will be installed Monday. The guy who does the scheduling called today. I could tell that the person in the office let him know my frustration and dissatisfaction. He explained to me that the scheduler does not give any kind of call until he knows the windows have arrived. So I told him that…

Mary and Kachka (sp?) those are quite the pictures! You could be poster women for MFP. I should put those pics on my fridge. Even if I haven't been posting much here lately except for light conversation and have not been logging my food, I am trying to consciously watch my intake. I am gradually losing, ounce by ounce but…

heather, so glad you weren't seriously hurt. But you will be sore for awhile. Janetr, never regret whatever you put here. You put what you were feeling at the time. The cardiac nurse in me went into RN mode. Back when I was working in cardiac, 80's and 90's, if there was an angiogram done, a surgeon was on call. The…

Dana? Is that who posted pictrues of herself? I read you were posting pictures of a before and after and as I was reading and scrolling I saw pictures of womans feet and figured she was upside down in some way. So I thought that was you. You daughter is lovely and very talented. She takes it from you. Kelly, loved your…

Well went to see the vampire today and had 6 vials of blood drawn. Wonder how much of a bruise that will make. Watching The Pianist, a story of a Jewish pianist from Warsaw during the time when Germany took over. Charlie asks me why I watch these depressing movies. I watch because I never want the world to go through this…

Lisa, Heather, love your pictures. So relaxing. Only travel I am doing in to doctor's office. He asked me about my back, any bleeding, energy, etc. I then changed the subject to my belly. So we talked about that for a while. I have a follow up appointment with GI doc in the fall and told Dr. C that U would rather that…

I would say good Sunday afternoon but I hurt to much. My belly is still hurting some but I am wondering if it is because I am not eating enough. I'm a little afraid to eat because I never know what it is going to do to my bowels. I finally ate a very small bowl of 1% cottage cheese with some crushed pineapple and 2…

Pip,love the tree. Is that one of his shoes? This weekend is a free HBO/Cinemax so we are watching one of the Ice age movies. Each one is better than the previous. Joyce, Indiana

Penny, I was watching last night's show 'Amazing Race'. It's a reality show where teams go around the world doing different challenges and the winner wins a million dollars. Last night they were in Alesund,Norway. How beautiful. The fjords were breath taking. I don't know how close this was in relation to you but no one…

Afternoon ladies. Well another day the weather man got terribly wrong. I know that for the farmers the month of April is very low on the rain level but I enjoy this weather. When we signed our contract for our remodeling, it said that as each sub contractor was done, we were to pay the remaining half of that persons work.…

We had some pretty bad weather supposed to happen today. So painter did not come. Has not rained a drop. Oh well. The money will just stay is our checking account a little longer. Contracter 'finished' their part today but they told us the would tack down the old roof tiles that had come up some along the gutter line with…

Kim in Ga, I don't know what Charlie would do if he didn't have his singing. As I have mentioned before, he doesn't do well in meeting new people. So his two buddies are his world. If either one of them aren't going out for Karaoke, he is real hesitant to go. It doesn't take much for him to make an excuse not to go out.…

Becca, the way you have raised your boys, they will never leave you. You will still be parenting, it's jsut that they may not know it. You and your husband still have so much to give, especially how to spontanously love each other, you would be great in the Big brother, Big sister program. Or maybe an exchange student.…

Evening ladies. Watching Disney night on Dancing with the stars. One of my favorite every year. Just makes it all more magical! And it helps bring out the child in the dancers. Our painter came be today. We had showed him color scheme we wanted and gave him permission to find them for us. Today he came by with his choices…

Wow, I kind of was MIA this weekend. Lots of pages to read. Sharon in Ethridge, when I read about your employee problem and you said something about PIP, I thought you meant you were going to send this person to Pip! LOL We used to have wild rabbits make nests in our back yard. You have no idea they are there and then you…

Evening ladies! Continue to enjoy seeing all the pictures. Seeing Moms and daughters, families, kids. Some one made a comment about families being smaller now. I guess I had never thought of that. Charlie came from a family of 4 kids, mine was 5 kids. But yet we decided when we were engaged that we wanted only 2 children.…

Becca, I could immediately recognize you in the picture. Still just as beautiful. DJ, I think you need to change your wording to 'looked' so nice. I DO NOT look like that now. Well, windows are in. We live in a bi-level so the windows downstairs are smaller than the ones in the bedrooms upstairs. Well they ordered the…

One time my sister and her husband went on NutriSystem. She said she had always wanted to be a size 10. Well she got there but looked like death warmed over. She is the size I am now about a 16 but we both look and breath like we are heavier. Evansville has a couple of charter schools.One of them, the first one, started…

Yikes, got a call about 90 minutes ago. Our door and all windows have come in and Window World wants to install tomorrow. We signed the contract 2/6 and knew we had to have things away form windows and all window treatments down. But you never know when they are going to come so you put it off. So we got 3 blinds down,…

Love seeing all your pictures and seeing part of your life. Power washing done today. He even worked real hard on our porch. He said that the eggs were gone today. I took the mess of a nest and put in the trashcan. There was a robin walking around. We gave him our color swatches today. We looked at them out in the sun and…
