"Whew" Back from the long weekend of camping with family. Not just my hubby and kids, there was also my mil & fil, a sil,bil and their 3 kids, an aunt, uncle and 2 kids, and lots of others who just showed up during the day or at supper time etc. I love being with family, but sometimes.........ugh!!!! Anyway, I guess all is okay, but we are all worn out. So funny you leave your home to go camping to relax, but you come home and are just as tired if not worse. Maybe if one did not have to cook for a million people and watch kids and freat about stuff I would have relaxed more. Maybe I need relaxation classes. Does anyone else have this problem? I just for some reason seem to have to be doing something all the time.
On to replies:
JUSTME: I'm glad you decided to pull up a computer chair and continue to post with us. These are a great bunch of ladies. I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
2CUTE: Did you make a lot of $$$$$ on all those old memories you sold off? Hope so and you can have fun making new ones
.
BARB: Love the dining room. It is beautiful. Hope all works out with the family issues and spending time with yours. We have had a few discussions here on that subject too. We do lots with dh's family and not much with mine at all and we all live in the same town. Men just don't get it sometimes.
TINA: Hey chicky, no sweat!!! Jump back on, you will be fine, none of us is perfect!!!! Theres room, and while your at it pull my butt back on up there with you. We ended up listening to the race on the radio at the camp, cause we have no electricity and it was a saturday night race. It was so funny at one point, picture 15-20 people sitting around a campfire and the race blarring out and no one saying a word. Made me think of back in the olden days on the tv you will see people listening so intently to the radio as it was the only source of entertainment....I just thought it was cute.
MARY: Your grocery list sounded yummy and healthy for the week! You go girl. I will make chat on Wed. I am sure. I still need to find that fish at my local market to try....
LUCKY: Quilting, you are a brave person. Actually, I just don't have the patience to do it. But I love looking at all the hard work and beauty that people make. My grandma still does it and does a beautiful job. My son however, just had her cheat this year and make him the most simple blanket in her words....lol, a Bandana Quilt. You just take 2 different color bandanas, I'm not sure how many of each and sew them together alternating colors then you put the quilting stuff in and back it with a sheet and tack it where the 4 pieces of each bandana meet. It turns out wonderful and looks great in a kids room. He had red and blue, now my daughter wants pink and purple or pink and yellow she said for her bday. My grandma is in heaven cause she says it only takes a little bit of time....
MICHELLE: Hope you had a wonderful time in NH with family.
JOE ANNE: Girl, you exhaust me just reading your exercise. Keep up the good work.
DEB: Alone time, savor it!!! I get a little bit of it in the am every day. LOL, and I always tease that I go to work just to get a break from the family.
THIN: I can count on you every holiday to put a smile on my face. Thank you!!! Strawberry pie sounds yummy, thinking I will have to try that one. But the snickers pie is first on my choco-holic list.
TERRI: Sounds like your time with the family was nice and relaxing, and what a great movie to watch together, I love that one. Sorry the other table of people were so loud. Glad your water weight disappeared for you. Sometimes, I know being a scale a~holic is a bad thing. I am always on them. You will be back down there though, you are so good!!!
KAT: Glad to see you made it back. I think that word HOT is everywhere, it was almost unbearable in the shade here yesterday. I could not wait to get home to the airconditioners.
ANDRIA: Ducky Derby? Think I missed that along the way somewhere? You sold ducks? Glad people shared their water with you, that sure was a HOT number on the thermometer. Your such a sweeting helping your dad out and trying to get him on a good diet to lower that cholesterol. I wish you luck finding the perfect job too.
AMANDA: Did you get hubby up and off this morning? Sorry he isn't gonna fix the car at the moment, but maybe when he gets time he will. Let him get his schedule worked out and then maybe he can start the car. Or make him walk to work and keep the truck....lol (is it standard) is that why you can't drive it?
Okay, I think I got everyone on this thread and the last. If I omitted anyone, please forgive me, but I am just praying I don't loose this post, cause I think it's a long one. And you all know one hit of the wrong key and the computer monster eats the post.
Hugs to all,
Sandy
