A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2503--This one is Opened by Me. (yea I know....)

tarantulas ?? OH MY--not my favorite sight either...

I am soon going to sleep. I get to go to Ceramics tomorrow..YAY !!!

Yay! Ceramics. It makes me happy.
I am going to bed as well. Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. I've been up about an hour. The world went crazy while I slept. I am going back to bed for a bit and hope for a better frame of mind when I wake.

Good morning.

The world is crazy every day Tina...I hope you do get more rest today.

Have fun at ceramics Junie.

I have the tractor plugged in, hoping it will start. It is too cold and windy to clear the snow with the hand snow blower....I'm tired already and the day hasn't even really started yet.

I hope it starts for you too.
I did get more rest. Now it is going out for bread and stuff.

Well, the tractor would not start...so I had to use the hand blower. It took me over two hours to clean the driveway. The winds are getting worse out there, I am glad to be inside.

I am sitting with a cup of tea and a chocolate macaroon...so life is good

Tomorrow I have to babysit for 12 hours..wish me luck.

Is it your GG you're babysitting for tomorrow? Or someone else or multiple someones?
I never went out today so I must go tomorrow. I don't wanna. I'm a regular vegetable.

Yes, I too want to know just who you are watching tomorrow.

BUT I will have to wait to know.

In the VERY EARLY morning, We are going out East to see my DD & my 2 Grandsons.
I am hoping for a boring uneventful trip out & back. WE will be home late the 29th.

I DO think my time visiting will be good---

Emily has already asked me if I would cook for them while I was out there...LOL...of course I said yes.....

See you when I get back.

G'nite for now.....

Safe travels, Carol. I am glad you will get some time with your grands. I hope you are not buried in the kitchen the whole vacation. Give those sweet boys lots of hugs.

IF I am buried a lot in the kitchen, that will be ok--it will give Emily a break and it will let her see what mothers do for their children. (so I will be helping out the boy's future wives..LOL)
and you can be sure that I WILL be giving the boys lots of hugs & kisses...

See you all soon

Sweet dreams, Carol. And sweet dreams all.

Good morning. I was up off and on all night with my dog. I'm going back to bed.

And now I'm up. I need to go out to do the running I didn't do yesterday. And then I think I'll work outside today.

Morning.


Woke up to a blizzard... at least 8inches out there and still coming down, windy too and really cold...about 12 with the windchill.... not going outside today except to take the dog out, speaking of being from Texas he does not think snow is very good at all . especially when it's almost as deep as he is tall... went out and shoveled him a patch to go in and he just looked at me like I was crazy.. couldn't take him out back cause deck door had about a foot and a half blown up against it..

I am going to spend day making a stew and baking cookies... will help keep house warm... and make my grandsons happy too... hoping we don't lose power... that would stop those plans... would be forced to watch movies on my ipad or something...

Junie hope you have a wonderful visit with the grands... even cooking for them all will be fun.... I do that for Carrie at least once a week when I am over there.. start dinners for them... love crock pots...

Well I am off to get something started cooking... have a good day all!

Nana

I am sorry you have a blizzard, Nana. That's cold. Poor puppy. I feel for him.

Tina, I am watching the little boy with the heart condition. We had a good day today...and hopefully another tomorrow.

Sorry for the snow Nana...hopefully we'll see the last of the storms soon.

Have a wonderful trip Junie

Good Sunny. That is nice for you to do that. And I imagine it could be fun too.

There are only -4 days, 2 hours, and 22 minutes until spring begins!
Shouldn't we be on a summer tracker now?
I miss Carol already. I hope she finds a way to check in.
Sweet dreams all. I am going to bed.

Good morning. Happy Thursday.
I mostly am putting the day so I can remember what day it is. I tend to get lost when we are on vacation. That is sad.
I tackled a little weeding yesterday but I have to find someone strong to hire for the bulk of my weedeating any more.
Today I will catch up on some laundry. It seems to be a good day for it. And maybe cook something if I can think of something that appeals to me. Nothing does yet.

Good afternoon.

Tina, it seems that there is always something to do isn't there?

I have the little guy here with me today...we are watching The Avenger's and I am getting a lesson on who is who and what they do

It is my DH's birthday today as well, cake and gift is bought and my mother is picking up my daughter and the grands(I'll just bring daughter and G-son home tonight)...we are getting another big storm through the night. It's the end of March and I am still shoveling out windows.

Have a good day.

Happy birthday to your DH. You seem to have things well in hand.

Thanks.

I made a pasta salad and coleslaw this morning. I just pulled the baked wings out of the oven and put the rice in....sweet and sour sauce is simmering on the stove. It's a mixture of foods for a fussy bunch

How is Teddy enjoying his time off?

Teddy is happy at home. He is also happy to go to school. He is happy to go out shopping with me. He's a pretty happy guy. As long as it fits within his parameters. Like as long as he can wear his comfy clothes an errands don't last too long. I'm a very lucky mamma.
It has been a busy day. I am going to say good night. Sweet dreams all.

Colby was sick Saturday so Shelley took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with the flu. She got Tamiflu. He felt pretty bad on Sunday but took a shower and had a breathing treatment at 8:00 PM and went to bed at 10. At midnight Shelley went to give him a dose of Tamiflu and he was unresponsive. He was airlifted from Monroe to Levine Children Hospital in Charlotte and is on a ventilator. It's horrible.

Got bless him and the whole family dealing with it. Is there any thing we can do to help?

OMG Sherri, I am praying hard for your Colby and family. Please keep us posted.

It is storming bad outside today...I can't even see through the heavy snow.

I was so hoping you would get a long growing season, Sunny. I hope it warms up soon.
Good morning. I don't have any true plans for today. I am going to work on whatever projects appeal to me at the time. Or none. Or nap a lot. I had a difficult time sleeping last night.

I hope you get your rest today Tina.

My growing season is never a long one but thanks for thinking of me.

I am looking online for a free pattern for a boy's christening romper...the prices at the stores are ridiculous. I can make one for less than $10 with the cost of fabric. I found a few pics that are cute...just a basic white romper with blue stitching. We need to get my grandson baptized next month.

Sounds cute, Sunny. A nice outfit for a kid that is up and walking.
I did rest a little. I hate to waste time like that. I didn't get nearly as much done today as I would have liked. Still got to pop my kid in a bath though.

Popping in to see if Sherri posted about her grandson...I hope we get good news soon.

I am tired of fighting today's storm....the rest of the snow can wait until tomorrow to be dealt with.

Rest well tonight Tina.

Oh my Sheri, prayers for Colby and your whole family...flu is horrible ... do hope to hear he is on the mend soon...


We spent our week getting taxes done.. paid.. and sent off.. owed one.. getting back from other.. but it is done..
boys came over for a little while today.. mostly to eat I think...they are getting so big.. This morning we took Milo to the vet
for his free check up. he is fine.. needs to brush his teeth if we can get him to let us do it.. and next week we need a booster shot,
I really like this vet. . you can see he really cares for animals.

We are getting more snow here too Sunny.. after the foot and a half we just cleaned up from...they say it won't be a lot but they said that last
time too...Milo is getting used to it though...

Well I am going to go fix a small supper.. I didn't sleep well last night so will be hitting my pillows early I hope..

Have a good evening all

Nana

I am glad Milo is getting used to the snow.
I too, hope Colby is recovering. That is an awful situation and I have been praying for him.

I miss Carol a lot. I hope she is having a wonderful time with her grands.
Sweet dreams all. I managed to cook dinner and clean up after. And I popped Teddy in the bath and myself in the shower. So the day hasn't been a total waste. Now I am going to bed.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning, the sun is supposed to shine today.

Nana, I think the older we get....the more we dread the weather. I have to go out in a bit and check how much is on my roof.

Tina, I bet Carol is running non stop with the two boys and she'll have stories to tell when she gets back...I can't wait either.

I keep thinking about Colby....I have a cousin named Brandie, when she was little she was sick such as that, it turned out to be meningitis and not the flu after all.

Good morning. Yes, I've prayed for Colby too.
Today I'm taking Teddy out for a little fun. Things like driving through the car wash fun. And I want to pick up a couple of items. So we'll have an outing for fun.

Sweet dreams all. And I hope everyone wakes to a pleasant Easter.

Happy Easter to all. And good morning.
I really miss Carol. I hope she has a blessed day.

Good morning and Happy Easter.

My daughter and grands slept at my mother's last night...we are having supper there today. It's nice to have someone else treat me to a meal now and then

I hope everyone has a great day today.

I am glad someone is treating you, Sunny. Relax and have fun with your family.

Good morning. I fell into bed without posting last night. I must have been tired.
I'm not sure what I am going to do today. I will shop for a few things when the stores open. I need some of Teddy's bananas and such.
We are going to get windy today and maybe some rain. The rain would be welcomed.
I hope everyone has a great Monday.
I am looking forward to having Carol back with us tomorrow.
