Dh got his SUV back today! yeaaaaaa! Wasn't suppose to until tomorrow, but the repair guy told him to come and get it and he could pay tomorrow. Man-O-Man...I DO NOT want to see that bill. I'm scared. hahaha He's had it 8 days. He called my moms before I got there to tell me that he was going to walk up and get it. I just knew he was going to have to take my car to work again tomorrow. That's why I went to see her today. It's been awhile since I'd seen her. I was going thru Mommy withdrawl. I walked thru her door with some groceries and she says,"Guess what?" I said,"I don't care....give me some hugs...I've missed you so much!" We hugged and hugged and giggled like little girls. We are so funny! Then she told me he called with the news. I clapped my hands and jumped up and down with joy,I was so excited! hahaha It's amazing how much we rely on our cars isn't it? Mom says,"Now you can come back tomorrow and we can go shopping!" What a Mama! hahaha We just might too.
Well, I'm beat. I think it's more stress than actually tired. What a week we've had!
G'Nite Gals! Love Yuns!

Judy...of coarse we missed ya funny girl but Patsy came on and told us about your puter and car problems and so, I didn't send out the posse to drag ya back by your ears. LOL
Glad everything is fixed now!!! We aren't good without our electronics are we????
Ya all might have to send out the Posse on me in the next month and a half as I have to pack to move. Just found out yesterday that we got the Apartment that we had put in for. It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath and a 1000 square feet. It has a deck and storage unit. So, I am pretty happy.
Not looking forward to packing again...I am beginning to feel like a professional Mover. ha ha! Except I make no money doing it...and it's hard on the ol' bod.
One good thing is, is that DH never got his boxes unpacked...so, he's basicly ready to go. All he ever packs is his bedroom and office, I do all the rest.
Thank you Janet for the compliments on my family. They are my life!
Hope you all will pray for my grandbaby Naomi...the little one. Her fever still has not broke after 7 days. Monday they put her in the hospital and she is still there. They are running every kind of test imaginable on her. The have ruled out a lot of the really serious stuff but so far they do not know what is causing her fever and rash.
I mailed your book out today Janet. Hope you enjoy the read.
Luanne...yours went out yesterday. Yes, the move is really sudden but one we need to make financially. So, now I get to down-size for the 5th time.
Ruthie Ann...before I forget I got your pretty card, red flower tuck, and yummy tea. Thanks so much sweet sister. I was about to send the Posse out on you too but remembered you were busy trying to get your tea-bags out...so I cut you some slack. LOL!
Netty...thanks for thinking my boys are handsome. I do too...but I'm their mother.
Do you know what made you sick? There sure seems to be a lot of stuff going around. Kind of makes ya wonder sometimes...if some one is testing chemical or biological stuff on us.
This day and age you just never know.
We are starting to see some of the debree from the Japanese Tsunami washing up on our coast line. They warned that if you saw tennis shoes and such not to pick them up because they could have a foot in them. Gross!
That was so sad about that young man who died. He was just too young. Two of my boys are close to his age. His family must be devestated.
Teacher Tammy...thanks for the compliment on my family. After raising three boys...it is fun to have granddaughters. I loved having boys though...I am kind of the strange mom who loved bugs, snakes, worms, lizards and all the outdoor type stuff...but my boys hated that kind of stuff. LOL They were city slickers from the word go.
But they did love that I was always outside pitching baseballs to them, playing basketball with them (even tho I am a shrimp) and playing soccer with them. I was a Den Mother and an Indoor Soccer Coach. Went hiking with them. But it is fun now getting to do the girly stuff with the granddaughters.
Except when we were in the park in Seattle on Sat. Madeline saw a worm in the ground and she didn't know what it was. So I told her it was a worm, and I asked her if she wanted to hold it. She said no. So, I said well Grandmama will hold it. So, I picked it up and held it on the palm of my hand. Then I asked her again if she wanted to hold it...and she said Yes.
So i gave it to her and she thought it was so cool! And she said it tickled her hand. I thought her mother might have a heart attack...so, I gave Madeline so handsanitizer when we were done with our worm holding. But she couldn't wait to tell daddy what her and ganmama did.
OK...I am tired. More rain headed our way tomorrow. We are suppose to have a very wet day. Today was nice and I took full advantage of it.
More later...my pretties,
peggy

Good Morning all
This has been the first week of summer school. It is now Thursday and finally everything is running smoothly. Well...... smother. LOL When working with teenagers I don't think anything runs really smooth!
My youngest has found a place and will be moving out this month. :( I have mixed emotions about this :) She will be close, still in the same town so that is good. I know she needs to grow and be out of the nest but it was nice to have her hear.
Ruth Ann Sorry for your loss. You have been and will still be in my prayers.
Miranda Awesome news on the house.
Lynette this month :( there will be tears but also joy. :)
Angela I am so sorry for all the stres. You really do sound depressed. I get just like you when the depression hits. Usually I can work out of it if I make myself do something each day or small things every couple of hours. Then i get things done and don't have that guilt whirlwind of activity.
Alyce I know I'm behind but I hope all goes well with the realtor.
Peggy I love that quote. I have a thing for waterfalls. Every time I see one I think of God carving that waterfall out jst so I can see it. Ok So everyone can see it, but I am in awe of His handy work.
janet I love camping I hope you have a great time.
Kimberly so glad to hear from you. i have been praying for you. I miss taking my kids to places like that. Those are such wonderful memories. Even if they do wear us adults out.
TLTammy congrats on the new car.
Well I have only caught up to page 526. I need to get off and get things done before I have to go to work. Hope all of you have a great day.

Good Morning Ladies! Looks like everyone is busy and keeping their spirits up. I went to my class yesterday so hopefully I'm done with all this training stuff. STILL trying to clean house. I don't think this will ever get done. Just when I get on a roll some activity comes up and I have to stop. Or regular housecleaning like dishes and laundry take up too much time. And of course coming on here and reading what everyone is doing. I'm working on another apron for DD. She said she needs a "goin ta town" apron. She's cute. It's nice and cloudy here right now. I hope it stays that way. It's too hot already.

Hey everyone,
The parents just came and got their little boy. He is so cute, looks just like his mommy and he is one of those little BIG boys. I had a hard time taking just a few steps with him. We sure had fun tho. He is only 2 yo and he knows sign language for "more and please" he knew another sign but can't remember now. I think a lot of the mothers are now teaching sign to there kids because they can do that before talking. Very interesting I thought.
Tomorrow I am getting my Grandsons, happy happy dance. I can hardly wait. We get to keep them until the 16th, so if I am not on here very much this is why.
Peggy,
The Doc. did say it wasn't strip throat, so not sure what I have. It is funny, my head still hurts a little, when I talk my voice comes in and out. So what ever it is it's hanging on for dear life.
I have moved so much I don't envy you any on this move, just glad it helps with the money situation.
And about picking up the tennis shoes and maybe a foot in it, now that is just double gross. Will the state hire people to go out and pick things up or what? I cannot imagaine all those things washing up it is so sad for everyone involved.
My husband went out to do a test run on cutting wheat. It sure looks like it is ready, but not in very good condition. This spring when we needed rain we missed it, so the wheat did not put on very good heads.
Like I tell my husband, God will provide and we have to have the faith.
That is all I can think of right now, so everyone take care and will be talking back at ya later.

Wow, it's been busy...everywhere! I often lurk, but a lot of times I don't have time to post/reply. This is the first night I've been home all week, and I get to spend it cleaning - yay. How fun. (Not really lol) I was trying really hard to stay on top of my cleaning schedule, but when I'm gone 6 out of 7 nights, it's hard. And I'm way too lazy in the morning to do it! I like my sleep! lol
Praying for everyone who needs it, sending out hugs & happy thoughts. You guys are in my thoughts often :).
So tonight, I went grocery shopping & spent a lot of money! Thank goodness for Mom lending me some! I have to make some dainties for a shower on Saturday, then I thought if I was organized enough, I could make a few crockpot meals (so far it's looking like 2, maybe I'll find something else to make) & some bread (along with the 4 other recipes I have for the shower. No one really said how much we had to make, and it's better to have too much than not enough). Now I have to clean the kitchen, the bathroom & vacuum floors. Doesn't sound like much, but I'm pooped today. Thursdays kick your butt a lot, I find. Can't even save any of it for tomorrow, since I don't know when I'm going to be home :s. Oh well. Get it done & over with, and then I can sit (or go to bed :p).
Talk to ya'll later.....wish me luck on getting things done!
Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself.

Busy is the thing now days.
Peg great looking family you have there.
My GDD needed a bit of bailing out as the dog ate her glasses and she has been having shortened hours due to ankle problem and just lack of work.
My DS needs prayer for a new job. The old one, over 15 years in the health care industry, is taking its toll and they are not good about raises. We are redoing his resume tomorrow.
Hi Pam good to hear from you and I have found that about Thursdays.
Netty too bad about the wheat but He will most definitely provide.
Busy again tonight so Hugs to all I have not mentioned, I am thinking about you in any event.

WOW! Only $575.00 for all that work and labor on hubby's SUV. I'm so glad it wasn't more. I was sweating bullets.hahaha I mean...labor alone will sink a ship and they had it 8 days. Of course they let it sit while they waited for the master cylinder(which was still under warranty)to come in....but still, brakes too! ~whew~
Mama was under the weather today so we are doing our running tomorrow....hopefully.
I saw hay getting it's 1st cutting today. HAY...in the first part of JUNE! Unbelievable!
Well, I'm off to bed. G'nite Gals!

A quick note before I get ready for work. Judy, great that it did not cost you and arm and a leg for the car fix. They can cost so much, just think of the money we would save without a car.
Peggy, good luck with the move again. I hope this one will be your last for awhile. It gets harder as we age, especially when you are doing the brunt of it. That is what I had to do with our moves also, but just think, things do not get broken that way!! LOL!!!
Have a great day,
Janet

G'Mornin Gals! Had a rough nights sleep(shoo-shoed a young racoon outta the bird feeder then worried he'd be back to tear it down and use it for "take-out").hahahaha But here I am. Getting ready to call Mama and see how she feels and see if she's ready to shop.
It's so nice to have my car back. I know i keep saying that...but...it's sooooo nice to have my car back! ROFL
THanks Jan! Yeah, we'd probably be rich if not for cars! Right?
Make it a Great day Gals....whatever you do today!

Hi girlies,
Just stopping for a minute. Had a busy day. This house thing is keeping my head a spinning and we were at bank. We had someone who looked at our house and basically thought it was junk...hurt my feelings a bit. It is an old farm house that has had much love and is in better shape since we have lived it in than it would have before. We have been lovingly fixing it up. I did manage to not open my mouth to say something unkind...I am quite sure God had His hand there. But still I was like really..you give it some more love..
So the day got away from us. Just wanted to sit a spell and now I think I will have some tea and crochet. So relaxing. I am working on a scarf. I will try to post a pictrue of my progress in the next few days. I am really loving the color of the yarn.
Yall have a good night. See Judy I am here dear. I am flat scared of the porch posse..hahahahahha
love to you all
Tammy
Tea is like being in the stars with God.

Hi Tammy....I'm glad you're here. Wow! People can be so unkind! If they didn't like the house....they should have just said,thank you for your time, and left. HOW WUDE!!! lol We live in an old 1920's house and I'm sure someone would think it was junk too. I would have to tell them that it is a handyman's fixer-upper. If ya don't want to work on it, don't buy it. All older homes need work ...that's life...right?
Man, I have never seen this thread this quiet.

Hello My Porchies...
Well, thank you all for your prayers for my little granddaughter. She is still in the hospital. She has a team of Dr's working on her. A Pediatric Specialist, an Infectious Disease Specialist and a Cardiovascular Specialist. They have determined that she has Kawasaki Disease. No...I am not joking...that is truly what it is called. They are unsure what causes it but it originated first in Japan. Has now made it to Hawaii and the NW.
It is a rare childrens disease that affects children 5 yrs old and under. If the break-out of the disease is caught with in the first 2 wks of break out (high fever and rash)they can almost guarantee that it can be irradicated...by giving a medication drip for 36 hours. If it does not break the fever and rash in that time period they give another 36 hour drip. If the disease is not caught in that 10 day period (and thank God Naomi's was) then they suffer with cardiovascular disease and have an early demise.
I give God all the glory and I am so glad that my kids are good parents...who didn't just take the Pediatricians "Oh, she is probably just trying to fight off a virus." as the final
diagnosis. Or this Grandmama's "Oh, she is probably just teething."
I believe that God is using this to show my son that he needs to get back to a trusting relationship with God. He was very thankful that I had so many people praying for her.
Well, even though we had another horrific day of rain here...my body seemed to acclumate to it fianlly. If systems stay...or even go in and out...after four or five days your body is in less pain and you can at least function.
Tomorrow, I start packing. At the same time it looks like my husband will have a FT Work schedule for the next month. Which, that in itself is a God thing, because I can't get hardly any packing done when he is around.
I am tired tonight. I have read all the posts but am too exhausted to answer each individual one. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
big hugs,
peggy
