Another gorgeous day here. Yesterday I finished fixing the Jeep top. Have to say I was pretty pleased with how it came out and so was my gf. Grocery run and then I started on the second box of peaches. I made a pie for dinner that only had about 1/4 cup of sugar for the whole pie, the peaches are sweet enough on their own.…

Bert, you have certainly had a string of bad luck with appliances lately. Sure hope this is the last of it for a long while. today was another good day with friends. We hung out in the pool until properly wrinkled. Nice breeze, great conversations and lots of laughter. I did not get to my upholstery job last night. wasn't…

Hi all. Taki g a break from sealing the deck and was thinking of you all. Drove thru one of the worst storms I have ever driven in on my way to Colubus. So happy it was only 20 minutes of pure terror at 30mph on I 70. My cousins treated me to dinner at the same place Janet, Cindy and Meg met. So glad I visited them. She is…

We work and play well together. Not sure if we will be able to get boats in the water but have my fingers crossed. Bert, Hope you get your float on…

5 boxes of peaches are in the house and ready to be distributed. I am keeping 2. looks like I will be working on turning them into delicious jams, sauces and pies at the cabin. I also plan to work on the boat upholstery. Weather man is calling for rain every day! Getting my hair done now, then a stop to drop off peaches…

sorry but I had to share the cuteness. Leo and his parents. He was trying to feed the penguin statue. He hugged everything he could.

Home again for a few action packed days then back to the cabin for 2 weeks. I power washed the side deck yesterday. it is 12x30 and it took 3 hours including the rails and steps. The front deck is 12x24 and I hope to do it next week. I will also need to get the boat upholstery done. River still up so no boating yet. Today…

good morning, my view from the deck is gorgeous today. River is like a sheet of glass but flowing swiftly as the waters are starting to recede. What a fun shower we attended yesterday. It was hosted by the groom's mom (my ex SIL, whom I adore) and the man of honor, the bride-to-he's buff. So much love and laughter in one…

almost done, just need to hang one more rod.

I love #2, it seems so earthy and bright with lots of depth. I can see so many color combos to go with it. I like the gray one too just not as much as the other. You are in my favorite phase of renovation, picking and choosing! I went to design school for 2 years and loved it. I would have loved to be a kitchen…

Hi, work was a killer. Huge sale, nothing new, but was beat. When I got home I realized I left my phone in my locker. Made me nervous in case Mom needed me but at least Edd was home. No phone means no computer so I retired early and started reading Cindy's new book. Love it already! Cards and laughter followed by lunch…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CINDY! This day has started out well..did a scale hop since I had to miss my workshop today and am delighted to see a loss. Then took mom to the eye Dr. In and out in 40 minutes, it usually takes a minimum of 90. She doesn't go back until mid August. Edd just returned and my muffler is fixed for $40! Off to…

Hello ladies, Yesterday was a mixed bag, mostly not good. I got caught up on laundry and finished the curtains for my living area at the cabin (1 picture window and 1 regular window). Now need to get rods and clip rings to hang them. Will post a picture when done. I have enough material left for the window in the kitchen…

hello everyone. I have had a most relaxing and enjoyable birthday weekend. mostly just sitting on my porch talking, drinking, laughing, eating and repeating! Did really good on food choices. only indulgence was a huge, juicy burger with all the fixings last night. I do have an Amish cream horn and fresh strawberries that…
-
Good morning ladies. I have a few things to get at the grocery on my way out of town and a stop at the local farm stand where the strawberries have been excellent. Work was super slow so we mostly just did stocking and straightening all nite and got out early. Then had to wait with one of the workers until his ride got…

quick drive thru. Maintain at the scale, win in my book. We talked about handling challenges. There are 2 ladies, both lifetime members at goal, who lost nearly everything in the tornados. they are living in a motel and struggling with food choices and worrying about gaining weight. There was such an outpouring of support…

welcome home Janet. The trip sounds amazing, can't wait to hear details at our next lunch. I have been to Hearst twice and it is truly amazing. the light show must have been spectacular in person. Paula, at least Luis is flexible. I bet he will love it once it is installed. you guys are really moving along quickly! Bert,…

Paula, love, love, love the floors!

Good Monday to one and all. Raining...again! Looks like we will not have summer until July. The weekend was relaxed and productive. The rain stopped for the outdoor wedding. The barn was gorgeous and the wedding was short and simple. We stayed until 8pm hanging with all the "people of the road" which is what we dubbed our…
-
Been trying all day to log on but it kept saying unable to connect to server. Nothing exciting here. Leaving for the cabin in the morning and back Sunday night. Have an outside wedding to go to on Saturday, praying the rain holds off. Good news is that the wedding is 2 miles from the cabin, so can skip out at any time,…

Great day so just had to brag a tiny bit. Lovely time with mom. Then I pressure washed my deck and then 10 mile bike ride with my daughter. We are going to do this every Tuesday as long as we have good weather. Feeling good.

Hi again, never got the deck done. Instead I went thru my closet and drawers to find clothes to donate to the tornado victims. I have 8 large canvas totes full to the brim with shorts, tees, tanks, sun dresse, sport bras, jeans, flip flops and tennis shoes. All in great condition, many with tags. Cindy, you are packing a…

Good morning, it is chilly but sunny, I'll take it. We got lots of stuff done at the cabin, including celebrating Mike's 46th birthday yesterday. My sister and her hubby visited Mom yesterday so that is progress. I think I will pressure wash our deck today and plan to do the deck at the cabin next weekend if it isn't…

good morning from paradise! My entertainment is watching the birds at my feeders as I drink my coffee on my deck. I feel a bit guilty for leaving town when so many have suffered so much loss from the 15 tornadoes that went thru on Monday.. I am still amazed at how our much maligned maligned town has shown just how much…

Hello all, I have a bit of shopping, then packing and off to the cabin. We are expecting no company this weekend. Looking forward to cleaning and organizing and enjoying my porch. Boil advisory was lifted so got my laundry done. Eating better yesterday, just need to start tracking again, that is my nemesis but know it is…

Good morning indeed! our power came on last night around 10. Still under a boil advisory but that is doable. I feel guilty for all that I have when so many have lost everything. I am still amazed by the outpouring of love and fellowship this town has shown. We have a long recovery ahead but we seem up to the challenge. My…
