Hi Gals ~

Just sitting around drinking coffee and watching the local news. My ex-wife just called to borrow some tables I have for a brunch she is doing tomorrow for Mother's Day, we are invited but not sure if we are going.

Have to meet my son this afternoon for a walk through on the house he is buying.

Other than that today should be easy...maybe a duck pond trip, not sure yet.

Our dinner with vicar and his wife and my brother and sil was nice. Angie made black bean tacos and carnitas, everyone enjoyed both. Had a nice visit. We really have a lot in common, of course some of that is because he is my age! Not the oldest vicar we have had at church but up there, usually they are in their late 20's early 30's.

SCOOTER ~ I agree Angie is a keeper! Speaking of spas, years a go I did the drywall on a local spa here...http://www.cal-a-vie.com/html/content.cfm?CID=1116

I have read in the paper that it costs around $4,000 a week to stay there! Must be because of my excellent drywall textures They hired me to do the job because of a hand texture that I do...made some sweet money for back then too! But...alas...that was in my youth....1988 I think

We already have another vicar coming in August I believe. There was a little blurb in the bulletin last week, I think it said he was married with a couple of kids. Our vicar's call is to Fort McMurray Alberta Canada...way up there...he was shocked when he got the call but has a great attitude. Oil up there...and expensive! We looked online last night at a 1,000 sq ft older cottage for $625,000! WOW!! That is pricier than here!

Have a great week-end and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WEEK-END!

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are having a relaxing Saturday! Mine's been good so far. Got up this morning and had a walk with my husband. Then we went shopping. Had to get groceries and I picked up a pedometer (that was my Mother's Day gift - well that and my family is taking me to lunch tomorrow). Just got through enjoying a snack. Think I'm gonna take a book outside and soak up some of the beautiful sunshine. Later tonight we will be attending a softball banquet on behalf of my daughter. Hope they have some decent food on the menu! It's looking to be a pretty relaxing weekend overall and I'm loving it!

~Tammy~

Gary - LOL, I think it would be cheaper to shopping for CARS to see your work than stay at that place - it is now over $7000 a week. And to think that I provide a healthy plan and lifestyle for my family for FREE!

Tammy - sounds like a nice day indeed! A pedometer sounds like a great gift! Walking is a big part of my exercise plan!

Hi to everyone else! Gotta get back at it. Laundry awaits!

Laurie

Scooter I can't believe it is that expensive now...well, I guess I can. The spa is about 5 miles from my house but hidden from the road.

Tammy, Angie and I have been to many "a" softball banquet...and tennis...track...basketball...cross-country...soccer...have a great time! I hope you get a lot of use with the pedometer.

Angie and I did our Mother's Day 5K this afternoon through the neighborhood, didn't break any records with the dogs but really had a great time. We walked through the neighborhood where my son is buying his house. Later in the day we met him, my ex, the agent and the inspector. A nice house, the inspector and I agree that most of the work is cosmetic and no big ticket items which is good news.

Went to Kohl's for work boots and tennis shoes then to the produce market for some goodies.

Angie is working on her first batch of yogurt right now. As for me...a little beer...a little baseball and NASCAR on TV.

HAVE A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY!

Good Evening All,

Seems As Thought Everyone Is Doing Just Fine. Gary That Spa Resort Is Beautiful But Expensive Yes. I Can Only Dream About It Right Now.

Happy To Know All Is Well And Bev, Hope All Of Your Papers Or Over For Now.

Had A Nice Day Here Today So We Went Back Outside For Another Day Of Grillin'.

Gary, I Met To Ask Cakes About Your 5k. I Know She Has One This Month And Next Month. She Stays In Something, Always.

All Of You Wonderful Ladies That Are So Special To Me Please..............have A Wonderful Love Filled Mother's Day!!!!!

Have A Blessed Evening And A Glorious Morning!!!

Love Ags

So, you're a NASCAR fan huh? My husband loves NASCAR! Who's your favorite driver? My husband is a huge Jimmy Johnson fan (has been since long before he started winning so much).

Tammy I like Denny Hamlin and the 'ol man Mark Martin...yay for tonight's win...Jimmie is a more or less local boy here....my brother and bil (Kasey Kahne fans) can't stand him...so of course I always have to say stuff like "poor Jimmie got robbed last night"..."hope I see Jimmie at Lowes today"...I even have my little 3 yr old great nephew giving me "knuckles" saying "go Jimmie JJ Johnson"...really iritates my brother and bil!

Hi all!
Happy Mother's Day! Hope yours is going well!

We had a great church service this morning - and I split the Hershey's Kisses with DH

Breakfast was OP, and we are staying home for lunch and dinner - by my request. Mother's Day is a terrible day to go out to eat if you are a vegetarian. Chefs do not appreciate special requests with so many patrons.

We will spend the rest of the day visiting with our mothers. Visit DH's mom and call mine. Then the kids from CA will probably call later tonight.

I will get some planting done in between (I hope).

Hope you all have a blessed day!
Prayers continuing!

Laurie

That's funny!

Hope all you mom's are having a fabulous Mother's Day!

My family took me to my favorite restaurant for Mother's Day. It was great. We went right after church and I was pleased to find that there wasn't a wait. Now for that Mother's Day nap!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ~ to all the moms out there ...


We had a lovely day; went to the lot; checked our trees; checked the foundation (it's A-OK); had a nice leisurely drive; then came home and had CHINESE leftovers for dinner (that we picked up yesterday to avoid the Mother's Day mayheim; just ordered a dinner for two and there was enuff for two days).


Hope you all have a BLESSED AND MARVELLOUS MONDAY!!!


ROSEBUD ^^ PRAYERS ^^ continuing for you and yours ...

A belated Happy Mother's Day!

We had an awesome day yesterday. The church service was really inspiring and we had a fellowship lunch afterwards. Always good! Then some of my family came for a BBQ to honour our mother. Lots of food, lots of fun! AND the weather was pretty good. All in all a great day. Now, it's back to work and back on schedule again.

Gary: Your vicar is moving to a beautiful area. It is remote but it's beautiful. God will use him greatly. I'm in shock about the housing costs in the western part of our country. Here in Manitoba it's not quite so bad although our house has doubled in value over the past 6 years.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi Everyone. Hope all you mommies had a great mothers day. I had to work job #1 (panera bread) and man were we busy! It made the day go by fast though. I stopped by to see my mom and sister and dropped them off some cards and gifts. Then we spend the evening with db's family and did the same for his mom and sister. They all got candy and gift certificates for pedicures. Besides my mom since she works in a salon she got one to her fav. resturant. My eventually will be SIL had baby #3 on thursday. Baby Everett. He is so tiny! 6lbs 1oz. I forget how small they are since the twins are both walking now. Mom and baby are doing just fine, buy man auntie is tired. I will be taking 4 of 5 neice and nephews and 2 of my friends children to "monkey jump" tomorrow. Its pretty much like a hige indoor blow up kid place. Thats right 6 kids all under the age of 4. Man oh man wish me luck.

Rosebud- Im so glad there is no more ****. Thats great news.

Happy Monday Everyone!

Yeah, good luck with that - you are brave!


Sounds like everyone had a great Mother's Day - I'm so glad.

I was really sad to see the weekend come to an end. Now that my dh is out of school for the summer we have come up with a plan to get up early and get our walking in. We were up at 5:00AM this morning. Getting up early is a huge struggle for me, please pray that God will give me the strength to keep it up.

We are in the process of planning out our summer. There is so much going on this summer - isn't summer time supposed to be relaxing?? My husband is going on a mission trip at the end of the month and the day after he returns my oldest son has big gig with his band. June includes Vacation Bible School, lots of softball practice for my daughter, and at the end of the month a tournament for all-stars. July will include youth camp, my kids going to visit their grandma's for about a week, and my husband has a week long workshop for college - thankfully all this will be followed by our VACATION!

Well, I'm off to grab an apple for a snack. Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

I will be gone for a few days but will be back Friday. I am taking some of my low calorie food with me but generally will be at the mercy of my son and daughter in law.

Bargoo-have a great trip! We'll miss you. But, don't worry about the food-you know how to make good choices, and one week a little off plan won't hurt too much! Enjoy the time with your family!

Hello to everyone else, too! Glad everyone seems to have had a nice Mother's Day. I spent mine sick, so no fun there, not even church. Still feeling queasy, so even though I'd like to stay and go on and on and on, I think I need to go lay down a bit. I'll try to be back tomorrow. In the meantime, everyone have a great Monday evening! to all!
