Hi everyone!
Aww, Bunny, I'll be praying for you sister! I hope all goes well!
Peggy, please do! I'm really excited!
Darlene, alas, I got a new do last week, and the waver does not quite work the way I want it to with short hair. Just another reason to grow it out again!
Just another day here! Although, Wednesday is our student auction for Lent, and all of the money is going the Hope House for Human trafficking victims, so I guess that's exciting. I was also talking to my friends today, and I might join them on a school trip to London next spring. Hopefully everything will work out!
God's and Farmgirl's Blessings,
Megan aka Loretta Rae

Good Morning, All. Did everyone in the ornament swap receive the red felt cardinals I mailed out in March? I ask because I just got Angela's returned in the mail! I'll resend it this week, but now I'm worried. Let me know. Dianne

Afternoon Girls! It's 39/snow flurries today....very gray....AGAIN! UGH! RFMTammy...I watched "Benny Hill" back in the 70's a little. That was my first British show. Then I discovered James Harriet, "All Creatures Great & Small" Series. I loved that. I read all the books that he wrote. What a great Vet! Then I found "Are You Being Served?"...in the 90's and they cracked me up. You never knew what color Mrs Slocum's hair was going to be in each episode...and Mr Humphrey....well... he was just funny! lol I also liked "Waiting For God!" The white-haired from that show plays Doc Martin's Aunt.
Angela, very creative incubator. Good job!
TeaLadyTammy...I've missed you! What new and yummy teas have you purchased lately. I just brewed a pot of Chocolate-Orange, Culinary tea today. So tasty! ;P So what musical is the "Little Butterflies" performing?
Darlene...I liked your play on "B's" *giggle*
Peggy, so what was "Lincoln Lawyer" about? DH and I may have to go see it...or NetFlix it next month. *snicker*
Well Girlies, I hear that Teapot of Choc-Orange tea calling me....JuuuuDeeeeee.....

Peggy-I've seen previews of that movie. I like Trace Adkins so maybe I'll see it. We have another m*rder case coming up but this one won't be as intense. I am doing better. I just usually have panic attacks about life in general. Working this job reminds me that I'm sane. LOL!
chocolate orange tea sounds so interesting. Is is good. I've missed you guys so much! I love coming here and just chatting.
Dianne-I did get my ornament-THANK YOU! It is so pretty. I'm sorry I didn't say anything sooner.

Well ladies it has been drama and trauma this weekend. The guy, the VP of the little non-profit has been getting increasingly nasty to the volunteers (screaming at people, being a bully as he is a really large man), myself and another board member, all female. The president has been saying we were all picking on him and that we were making things up. So this weekend was a mass resignation weekend. Myself, the other female board member and her husband all bowed out. The husband bowed out because he is an IT tech troubleshooter and found that the guy had been visiting porno sites on the office computer. Still not enough to get the president to do something. She appears to have the female “Christian” notion that guys are leaders or some such. All she knows to do is to make allowances for him no matter what he has done. He went to another male board member about his addiction so that is being handled. Garbage. He is out of control and she is co-dependant. They are really lucky that I recently got the main report out to one of our big grant organizations. This is really hard in one way as I put 5 years of my life into it but as I dropped off all the documents I had and locked the door of the office, I really did feel a weight lift off. So I am waiting on the Lord to show me where or what he wants me to do next. For now I am r & r. There goes the homeless shelter. Drat!

Oh Cherime. Boy, could we exchange stories! I'm sorry you had to endure all of that. There is another plan for you and I'm sure it's bigger and better.

Oh Cherime, I'm so sorry for what you are going through. It is so sad that people like that get into positions of authority. There will be a big loss for the people who were served. Maybe you will be sent to another organization willing to do it right. I'll be saying a prayer for you and the people you served that another option will open up. Bullies are no fun.
Judy, I feel your pain with the snow. We have had a few days here and there with sunshine.. but tomorrow says snow/rain. Whatever... I wish it would just make it's mind and get on with spring.
Dianne, I also got my ornament. I love it! I have been working on what I'm going to do so they are ready for October. It will be here too soon if I put it off.
Off for a job interview.. hope it works out. Some red flags in the way.. but I may have to just bite the bullet and deal for a while. A job is a job at this point. I'll let you know how it went.

Cherime....Oh,My Goodness!!! Well, you all did the right thing resigning but how sad! Especially
when you are so dedicated and committed to something. It must truly grieve your heart though! Well, for sure God has a plan and a purpose for you and I know it will be exactly where you should be.
Dianne...I did tell you that I got my ornament too. I just love it...It is so sweet!
Bunny...praying for your interview!
Pam...you are sane honey...it's the rest of the world that is full of crazies. Are you guys
going to be doing that case for the 16 yr. old accused of murder (even though they haven't
found her body yet?) Shauntee's cousin Diamond works p.t. doing filing for the office where my
son and husband work. The family is just devastated naturally. It seemed like a case you guys might get.
Judy...yummy, orange chocolate tea. I wonder if I ordered any of that. Will have to go check my stash. Sounds good. And you girls know me...I ordered all The Chocolate Teas I could afford from there. :+)
Megan...still haven't made it over to read your work yet. Have had a prescription change and I can't sleep but my mind is too foggy to concentrate on reading right now. I will get there though hopefully, sooner than later. I have been up since 3:30 this morning and I didn't go to bed until after midnight...almost one. I have had this weird sleep schedule for about 3 days. Ugh!
Well, I think the dogs seem sleepy...so, maybe I can go try again. I need some rest.
Hugs and I will be dreaming about Sunshine and warmer weather,
Peggy

Hi everyone!
Peggy, it's quite alright! You get over there when you can!
Bunny, I hope the job interview went well:)
It was a very quiet day here. It's getting warmer here, which I am definitely not opposed to! We had such a rough winter here, that I am ready for some sunshine:)
Oh, and Dianne, I also received your ornament for May! No worries here.
God's and Farmgirl's Blessings,
Megan aka Loretta Rae

Hello everyone, Well I think I got the job. She talked to me for over an hour. She wants me to come in tomorrow and do some work on her displays. I guess I have to show what I'm made of. I have to walk the walk so to say. Scary!! But it looks like I have the job. It is only 2 days a week right now but soon to be 3 days. Plus I get the impression if I do well it will work into more hours. But at least it is a start.
Anyway, what to wear, what to wear.

Hello my dear sisters,
I tell you this madame butterfly is plain tired. School is hopping with this musical. We are performing Sonshine Vacation. Next week we have achievement tests and then confirmation.
Ladies could I ask you to pray for some things on my heart. My dear sweet mama has a compressed fracture in her back due to osteoporisis and it won't heal the dr. say. She can't take any of the meds they have due to serious side affects that would not be good for her heart. She is a real trooper. She had a minor surgery today and didn't tell me. But seems to be doing well.
Also my dear step daughter is heartbroken. She was to get married in September and her fiance called it off today. Apparently his family is part of the decision. She already had her dress which can't be taken back, bridesmaid dresses, etc. I am hoping to find out more this weekend. As a mama, it breaks my heart to know she is so sad and I can't take the pain away. But I tell you I could sure give him a piece of mind right now. I am hoping maybe it will work out. But not real hopeful on that. She has had depression before and so I am bit concerned what this turn of events will do.
Judy I have been having praline's and cream tea of late and a chocolate tea with hazelnuts from Harney and Sons. That has been my favorite ..ahh the world of tea.
Deb what kind of tea swap did you have in mind. I know some of us are in a tea swap but hey I am open to another one. Girlie what you got in mind for us tea flapping porchies.
Well ladies I am going to have my evening tea and have some conversation with God.
Love to you all
Tammy

So much going on here. Praying for all of you and sending lots of hugs.
Bunny~ Good luck on the job! Sounds like it might just pull through.
Cherime~ What a tough decision to have to make. As the other ladies have said.. I'm sure God does have another plan for you and will continue to use you for His work.
I'm afriad I'll have to make it a short visit tonight. I'm so sleepy. Good thing honey man insisted on getting the budget down on paper. Seems my head isn't attached and I was skipping over a couple of bills. We could do the loan, but our funds would be way too tight. Too tight for us that is. As we both like to put a little $$ back out of each pay. You know the rainy day fund for when whatever breaks. And well the loan to fix everything wouldn't allow us much for savings. Cousin Bob is going to continue working upstairs. Jeremy and I are going to do what needs to be done to the bedrooms downstairs. My BIL is going to do the windows and siding one side of the house at a time. (I know it's tacky, but it will eventually get there.) And that just leaves our main concern- heating. I like wood heat. I'm still thinking about that. My dad is not so sure about me and a woodstove getting along very well. He doesn't want me up on the roof cleaning out the stove pipe and Jeremy is terrified of heights so you know I'll be on the house. LOL That's all right I hate the cellar and tight places so that's his area. I'm going to check with a couple more heating and a/c places. Maybe we can squeeze by with just getting a loan for the heat. [fingers crossed hahaha]
Anyhow I am getting started with my direct selling biz. I found a way to kind of create my own. I have been working on that at night and cleaning during the day and hanging with the kids and critters. Oh goodness girlfriends! I'm wiped out. I better get to bed. You all have a blessed night.
Night, night!
Hugs~ Melanie

Melanie, have you looked into pellet stoves? They are expensive but can run on a thermostat. You just need to make sure it has a battery back up for the motor. The pellets are cheap and don't make much of a mess. They are easy to find too. Almost any hardware store has them.
