Cathy, is that your dog in your profile pic? It's a beauty! Tel us about him/her!

Good morning everyone! The sun is shining today for a change. Well, the big birthday is finally over. The little guy is officially 7 years old. It was really funny yesterday that every few minutes he would say "isn't somebody going to say happy birthday to me?" This morning he told me very seriously that yesterday was his…

Oh my goodness! Homer is ADORABLE!

Heather, the rental in France is lovely! I'm glad you found such a wonderful place. Pip, congrats on the ponytail. Baby steps. Last night at the kids gymnastics I lost my phone. Boy, did I panic! Not only is it my brain and my lifeline, it had my credit card and driver's license inside the cover. So, I searched everywhere…

The invitations went home today (Tuesday) for the party on Sunday. I'm afraid it's short notice, and that Sunday isn't the best time for it, but it's going to have to do. December may not be the best time for a pool party either, but we couldn't talk him out of it.

I can't believe it's December already. I missed an appointment with the oral surgeon this afternoon. Oops. I thought it was on the 10th. Taking hubby to drop off his car to get a new windshield after I pick up the two little ones, then he and I will go to the middle school to pick up the oldest after choir practice at…

Good morning. At least for four more minutes. This morning has been a mess. I woke up sore all over. My joints are in complete revolt. I'm afraid Zumba may be too much for me. After I dropped off the kids at school I limped into WalMart to look for a toy the DGS wants for his birthday. The darned thing is $79! I can't…

Hello everyone! What a great morning it's been here! I was sitting in my office at the studio searching for drawings of butterflies to carve on a pot, when the phone rang. A man said he was outside my studio, so I hung up and let him in. It turns out, he is a potter who just moved here from Hawaii to live with his sister…

Ok I think you are all sick of my mouse drama, but I have to tell you what happened last night. We were getting into bed when we heard Molly out in the great room. She was barking wildly and there was a lot of skittering sounds like she was chasing something across the wood floor. I was terrified (no surprise) so hubby…

Good morning everyone. Yesterday I spent a few hours at the studio while hubby worked on catching the mouse, but he didn't have any luck. He put out eight traps loaded with peanut butter. Then in the evening we picked up the grandkids and took them out to eat. When we got back he checked the traps again but no luck. He had…

EEEKKKK! Spot just flushed a mouse out from under the dresser in our bedroom! I'm terrified of mice! And we don't know where he went. He ran toward the bathroom but could have gone under the other dresser ot into the closet. Now I'm afraid to go to bed. Hubby just reported that Spot is now in the closet hunting. So he must…

Happy Thanksgiving! It's a windy, blustery day here at the lake but the temperature is 67 degrees, so it could be worse. In fact, three hours away in Wichita it's only 37 degrees, and the cold front is coming this way. Tomorrow our high is only supposed to be 34. And two to four inches of rain is predicted too, so we have…

My wifi is fixed!!! Oh, happiness!

Good morning! It's supposed to rain here for the next three days, so we will be indoors most of that time. We're going to the lake this afternoon and staying two nights. The kids will be at their mom's for a few days, but everybody is coming to our house for dinner on Sunday. My son suggested that we have a belated…

Good afternoon! I was going to say good morning, but my computer locked up and I had to reboot, then got the blue screen of death, but it finally went back in OK. I'm limping along on XP, so anything can happen. I saw something on a facebook group for potters yesterday that really hit home. A woman posted that she lost (in…

Just got home from Zuma with DGD#1. We has so much fun! She wants to go back tomorrow. That's not going to hsppen, but we will go back next week for sure.

I just picked up the grandkids from school and when the DGS got out of the van I asked "Ian! Did you draw on your pants?" He said, "No, I just dropped a marker. " I said "But there are TWO STARS on your pants!" To which he replied "I dropped it TWICE !" I laughed so hard I nearly wet my pants.

This one was my favorite. It featured a live chicken nesting on the "throne". Here is one decorated with a shotgun wedding theme. And a few signs inside outhouses showing the bathroom humor.
-
Good morning!!! I'm at the studio and have the phone attached to the computer so I can get online with my real computer. It's so nice not to be squinting at the phone! And now I can attach Photos, so brace yourself...here come the outhouse pictures. This one had a modern feature not found in real outhouses. A urinal. I…

Hello again. We just took the kids home. I'm tired. My son called about noon and said he had a screaming fit - melt down at the kids during which he tore off his oxygen then had oxygen deprivation (gee, you think?) And nearly died. They finally got his oxygen back on him and he came back around, then took some anti anxiety…

Good morning everyone! The outhouse tour was SO much fun! They had 13 outhouses, all decorated differently. Most were pretty plain on the outside but really wild inside. One was decorated as a chicken coop and when you open the door there was an actual live chicken sitting on the "throne" which had been made into a nest.…

Good morning! I woke up about 4:45 smelling something unpleasant. Hubby briefly woke up and said he locked all three dogs out of the bedroom because they were agitated about something. He didn't smell anything because he had his sleep apnea mask thing on his nose. Well, I turned on the light to investigate and it looked…

My insurance wouldn't pay for the shingles shot till I turned 60, so I did get it finally. Hubby had a very mild case a few years ago but a friend had it really bad, all over her face and neck. She was in a lot of pain. Hubby got a shot too, the same time I did, although we weren't sure if he could get shingles again or…

Oh my gosh! You miss one day and have six pages to catch up on. I'm sure I missed a lot. Pip - Glad Kirby is coming home! Hooray! Becca - I loved your "cat" picture. Lisa -congrats on getting the warehouse in shape. And your kitties are so sweet! Penny - you are such a world traveler! I think I may be scared to travel…

NJ - welcome! Post pics of you pup! I bet it's adorable. There are a lot of dog lovers on this thread, so we understand about it being like a child to you. We get it.

Hello everyone! It's been a much better day today. I found a power of attorney form online at the Kansas Legal Services site, and printed it out giving me and my hubby the rights to take the kids to medical appointments, make decisions for them regarding education, etc. My son agreed to it and he and I went to the bank and…

What a crappy day. It rained all day. I got up at 4:30 and skipped breakfast for this CT scan, so on an empty stomach they made me drink three bottles of contrast stuff. It was lemon lime flavored water of some kind, but still, it upset my stomach. Then, the IV, and the iodine, which made me feel like I wet my pants, and…

Oh, DJ! I'm so sorry for you. It's always heartbreaking to lose a member of the family. Hugs.

I drove two hours in the rain and got to the imaging center 45 minutes early for my appointment. Yay! The bad news is, they don't do the specific kind of test that the doctor ordered, so they sent me to the cancer center half a mile away. Now they are going to try to "work me in". How nice of them. So now I wait. I…

Long day, and I'm tired. Going to bed. Up at 5 am to drive to Kansas City again tomorrow for an MRI. Good night everyone! Sylvia
