Our House Part Two

[dobermama]

house. Been reading through all the posts. Hate working these long, long days and then having to nap and getting behind

 

Joanne, no way I could live without the AC. We are having record breaking heat of 97 and 98 degrees. Not nice, I want FALL and 70 degree temps. Anything above 75, y'all can have!

 

Mary, the computer is my life line for personal and work, can't imagine being without it.

 

to all our new housemates!!! Glad to have you here. I haven't been here long but been on the Ville a long while. I'll be 66 this month and live in the mountains of NE AL with 3 :dog and 1 and occasionally my youngest dd I love to and to and learned both at a very young age. Know how to knit, but prefer not to.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement regarding my mom's situation. It really means a lot to me. I am really at peace with her decision. I'm hoping that she will continue to improve, so that she can go home in a few weeks. The doctor told my brother, that there is no way to predict what might happen since there isn't a cut and dried diagnosis. It's entirely possible that whatever it is will stay stable for quite a long time.

 

I have finally almost finished that granny stripes afghan that I started last fall. It needs 1 1/2 more border rows and then it will be finished. I could probably finish it tonight, but I'm pretty sick of it, so it will probably wait until the weekend.

 

Work day tomorrow for me.

[imanurse55]

Have a good day at work tomorrow. I like the idea of making a sbt for the granny stripe. And it will get done all in good time.

 

Night all

[marpan79]

Night night ladies Just finished my tote, so will share a pic in the AM.

Hopefully this week is a bit better for you. I think the temps should be more bearable Did you decided what your doing with the AC yet?

[judianne]

'morning, peeps!

 

...Mary1, I'm sorry you missed your computer! There are time, though, I wish for the old days when you spoke to someone on the phone, wrote a letter or actually visited them, instead of texting or email.

 

Judy- Hope Heidi and Sparkie didn't want to play outside too much today- much too hot/humid!!

We were out for a few minutes, then I set up the baby gates to give them more room to play inside - before separating them again becaus ehtey got too crazy! I read Sparkie's old "baby" book and I saw where the same behavior went on between Sparkie and Susie...so they do calm down and stop the nipping...tg!

Good morning ladies

LOVE, LOVE the bright colors!!:clap

 

Off I go....love to everyone, and I'll be back later. Errands this AM.

Good morning, housemates. It's going to be another hot one today. Last day before vacation. Yay!! I finally got busy on the Challenge Quilt yesterday and got half of the remaining squares quilted. I obviously didn't make my June first deadline, since it has until the 15th to get there I still have time to get it done. I was having qualms about it last night, but Rosie gave me a pep talke, so I'm back in the mood to finish it.

 

One of the first things I'm going to do tomorrow is get in to the eye glasses place and have the screw that holds the bow on replaced. It came out almost a week and a half ago and is still being held in place with a little safety pin. By the time John gets home from work they are closed for the day, so I've had to wait to get them fixed until I've had a day off.

 

First of all ~ Thank you for the compliments on the scarves and tile. We spent a good part of the weekend putting the beds around the patio back together...they had to pull lots of dirt/mulch out of the way.

 

Well...obviously I only commented on pictures. I sure hope to stay caught up better - until next Wednesday, at least. Luke will be here from then until the following Sunday while DD and SIL go to Playa for a legal conference. I need to rest up!

It's amazing how much energy those busy, little grandkids have and how much it takes out of us to keep up with them. :lol

Work day tomorrow for me.

Cindy, I hope that whatever time she has left is good time with her family, be it days, months, or years. In many ways the quality of our life means so much more than the length of it. She sounds like a remarkable woman.

Good morning ladies

I love the colors in this tote! :cheer I think it's the prettiest one yet. Great work.

They were out this last weekend and I gave my Aunt her Rainbow Stash Buster Tote…. She loved it btw…. And she gave me 3 bags of yarn. I love that woman!

 

Hey Linda……… yep… boys have been out of school since the 19th. Ken is doing okay.. still waiting for all his “numbers” to recover back to normal from this last round of chemo.

Oh… more quilt work huh? Cant wait to see!

Oh, that is nice. I really like how the stripes run on the diagonal!

[Gardener]

Hello everyone. I had a good day at work, but its also good to be home. Its a beautiful day here today, sunny and 75 degrees.

 

I'm not sure if I will be doing any crocheting tonight, but if I do, I;m hoping to finish that granny stripe ghan. I purchased a solitaire games app for my Nook and I'm addicted. (I actually won a "prize" for playing a full hour without a win!)

We had a pretty day here, too! Nice change...

That's different...a prize for not winning:lol

 

Have a good night everyone....

[dobermama]

Busy day here today. Worked, went for weekly blood work and then to my mom's to sit with her so my sister could get away for a few hours. Finished a potholder and a towel topper while mama napped, so was productive. Then stopped at grocery store on way home to get some things and then home. Fed dogs, took garbage to curb and got mail. That's my life, boring but wonderful!

 

Joanne, it's way to hot here for so early. Record breaking heat and humidity to go with it. Give me FALL!!!!

 

Marisa, love the bright colors of the tote.

 

Cindy, you'll get that ghan done when it's time to get done.

 

Judy, I've got two running through the house playing growly play right now. Plus, tug rope. They are fun to watch. Every once in a while it gets carried away and I have to break it up, but for the most part, they just make me smile when they are playing

 

Linda, Tam, Mary 1, Mary 2, Dusti, Kiyo, cheeria and anyone I missed, love and hugs to one and all

News flash: The granny stripes afghan is finished, even the ends are woven in.

I love it!! Closet crocheting!!!! It makes me --you deserve a place where this is some quiet!!!! Has DD made any progress on moving to her own place? About the AC---getting a new one Saturday! The weather today is gorgeous though- wonderful breeze- oh, if only the entire summer could be like this!

I'll bet it felt good for you to be able to drive to get your blood work and then to your Mom's to give your sister a break!!!

 

Joanne, it's way to hot here for so early. Record breaking heat and humidity to go with it. Give me FALL!!!! I'll take weather like it was here today= PERFECT!!!!!

Ran out of time to post more- but suffice it to say- wishing you all a wonderful day!

[marpan79]

Good morning ladies

 

I decided to work on my market tote last night. I'll try to get some time in with the sweater this weekend. But, I really do need to start doing something around here and going through stuff

 

TGIF!!!!!! I can't wait until 6 pm!!!!!

[Wrennie]

Not enough time to read back so Hi everyone!

 

Had to work at a different branch yesterday, then ran to a couple of stores quick while I was near Kingston. I didn't get home till 6:45, I usually get home before 4:30.

Monday I have to fill in at a branch even farther away. I hate this running around. Oh well, at least I have a job.

[judianne]

Hi, ya peeps! A beautiful cool night - I was thinking of you, Joanne!

 

And this morning Heidi made it down all the stairs with minimal coaxing! SHe was almost too fast for me to stay ahead of her!

Awesome!!!! Can't wait to see the pic!!!!

I still find it scary...esp since Heidi's such a pup and seems to have no sense of self- preservation!

 

Gotta dash!

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good mornin, everyone. John and Kim are getting close to leaving for Valdosta. I think John's finished packing the car. Kim just has to finish with her breathing treatments and then I think they'll be off. It was wonderful to sleep in this morning. I think that getting my glasses fixed and then getting a haircut are first on my list of things to do today once they have left.

Hooray for finishing the afghan. Looking forward to seeing the pictures of it.

 

John needs the computer, so I'm off for now. Have a great day everyone.
