Hello Everyone... Its a cloudy day today and possible rain..The weekend was good.. Saturday it was a sunny beautiful day and Sunday was cloudy and we thought it would rain but it held off. Our company left this morning and we a had a great weekend with them.. We did the pool on Saturday and Sunday we went shopping and looked at some of the old neighborhoods that are all different now. The new development building going on around here is unreal..In a couple more years it will be intirely different neighborhood..but I hope to be MB by them..
We did ok with diet over the weekend.. We only ate some FF on Sunday.. so that wasnt to bad....I got some beautiful Strawberries on Sunday at the market and I am looking at recipes to fix something with them. We love Strawberry short cake but I cant find a cake subsitute..:lol:..Still loooking.
Lots to do today.. Class tonight.. Still taking care of the cats for my neighbor and got to finalize dinner plans this week for Buddy..
I hope it all works out...Phone calls Pone calls.. They take so long to complete..but I have to confirm who is coming to make resturant Reservations before Friday evening...so I have to run..

Daphne..Hope things are good with you and you had a great weekend..

Hello Everyone..:wave:
Its been another hot and humid day.. Partly sunny but too hot.. The pool does not open untill 4:00 till 8:00 but Starting Friday it will open at 11:00-8:00 Hurayyyyyyyyy.....I have been doing laundry and blessing the house as Donna would say..That never ends.. Didnt do much while we had company.. You all now how that is...No class tonight but we decided to walk over at the high school track tonight after it cools off some.
We wanted to do soemthing different..but if its still to hot.. we will not do it.
I wish they had a track at the gym but the do not.. Really thats the only thing they dont have.. They do have one of those walls you climb..but thats not gonna be me.. No Thanks....:lol:...
My Friend Buddy had to go back in the hospital today.. They will begin Chemo on him Wed and he will have 5 days of it..so the dinner is off again.
We will go see him Friday...He said we could not see him before that due to tests and the chemo is really so hard on him the first few days...
Dinner is almost ready so I have to run...Still looking for a Strawberry Shortcake recipe.. Any suggestions will be appreciated...Thank-you


Rosey....The guys found me... :lol:..I am sorry that the exercise is still so hard for you..I sure hope that the Tape of the Bungie cord thing helps you.
I am sure it will.......I hope that one day soon you wont be so soar doing your exercise.. I wish you had water class near you.. I think that would help you too.. Its easier on the joints and all.. Check the Y's near you..
They should have some classes I would think..
I hope that you enjoy getting dinner fixed for you...That was so nice that your hubby wanted to do that for you..
I am sure you are enjoying your GD and DD..
Have fun and I hope you feel better..
Have a wonderful evening.. love: :wave:

:coffee: Enjoying some coffee in front of the computer for the first time in DAYS! I appreciate you all's understanding why I had to take a excused absence from the thread for a while. :) The party went good inspite of the heat, wind and other occurances. The scrapbook went well too. I really enjoyed doing that but didn't share the same enthusiasm with Elena which really surprised me. I really had to fight with her to do something. In spite of it all she did a great page. My Dad said he didn't read it till the next morning because it was very touching. We had over 30 people there at the party and so inviting approx. 47 people that isn't too bad of a turn out. The weather held out although it had to be the hottest day of the year but by the time of the party the wind blew down a tent it took us 4 a hour and a half to put up and it cooled down some and did not rain! I need to get my sisters camera disk from her so I can get together a snap book of his party like I did for Jim's mother. I just tried to upload a picture of my Dad's cake. It just didn't work. I always have a struggle with this site and pictures. I will send a link so you can see.
Elena is busy in a children's little theatre acting workshop called "funky fairytales" this week. PLUS afterwards she is attending the VBS at my sisters church so we have been busy. I need to go and get some things done as well as get caught up with some bills.
Talk to you all later and more personally.
:wave:

Donna

But rosey don't you just hate getting ready for something and then it doesn't happen. I have to prepare myself for events such as that. Did you get your car windows taken care of?

I have been so busy around here. Besides keeping auctions running on ebay, taking kids to library to get books that our school district is mandating that they read over summer, taking care of kids, possibly having a yard sale with MIL sat., major cleaning to put in a window A.C. yesterday and another this evening, replacing a refrig. and that's only to name a few. Our refrigerator is barely keeping things cool and it's 11 1/2 years old so I'm sitting here with 4 kids waiting on Lowe's to deliver a bigger 21 cubic foot that my grandfather bought for me. ours was only 16.5 so looking foward to the bigger room. Well I will try to post more later but have to make a call to cancel something that was due to deliver today. Not the Lowe's refrig. but another one. Explain later! :lol:

Dana, it's not like it used to be. You buy a refrigerator and they last almost the length of the marriage! LOL :D :lol: Ours is 10 years old and I have noticed things not staying fresh as long myself. I would like to get a side by side next time. But, money is a little tight now and it isn't completely out. My Dad is taking his refrigerator with him to the new house. I was hoping he wasn't going to and get all new appliances. I was going to ask for his. ;) Sounds like you are having some major electronical devices to break down right now. You sure need a AC with the heat as it's been. With all the rain we have gotten though our grass looks soooo good! Hang in there and tell us all about your new fridge! :)

Rosey, The things you will do for prizes.... :lol: :lol3: :D :joker: I think that idea to lighten things up at your Curves is a great idea! I am glad you found this place. You sure have needed it just for the entertainment! LOL What kind of promo dinner were you having? Was it to be at your house? No, didn't make the cake. Only made the punch and the baked beans. The punch was a big hit too. Even the kids liked it. :)

Summer, sorry you were all alone here. This Friday maybe your dinner out with Buddy, right? I am praying it will take place. Your gym sounds interesting also. I bet you have lost a lot of weight. :) :cp: I feel like I have but haven't had the nerve to step on the scales. :?: :shrug:

Kris, you must be on your European vacation. Dee, how are things for you? Miss you! Mr. Ken thanks for allowing me to stay a Barbie wanna be. LOL Daphne, are you gone away too? I am sorry but seems I am behind on the vacation plans.

This is a busy week but it's all about ELENA! Take her this week to her workshop with the Children's Little Theater that is downtown then she goes directly from there to VBS at my sister's church. She isn't home until after 9:00. That's late for her. I am driving everywhere. Father's Day is this weekend of course you know that. I haven't gotten my Dad nor has Elena gotten her Dad anything yet. Gotta get going don't you think? LOL

Have a good day. I have a :headache: and have to take medicine again. I've had one every day for over a week. I guess it's the heat. :flow1:

Donna

:lol::lol::lol: OK Rosey you had a blond moment?? I hadn't received notification that there was new posting sop I didn't come here..... Duh me had read one posting in mail from You and forgot to come to site to get new posting! I am so glad that you are liking Curves. I might start that one up in September when the kids are in school. Was the film outside in the rain? At least you didn't wash it in your jeans!
Donna WOW WOW WOW:cp::cp::cp: you are a bush Mama. I am impressed at what all you are doing with Elena this summer. You are so busy it amazes me. I loved the cake and what was the punch? (EG) Did you spike the punch for the kids to like it?:lol:
Dana what ever happened to the snake that you found in your yard? OK, why do you all have such big freaking snakes? What are they and are the poisioness? I am glad that you are getting a new air conditioner and new fridge.
Summer I am so sorry to hear about Buddy. Be sure to give him my love when you see him. Tell us more about water class. I am really interested in it. I had to chuckle at you geting stormed out of your walk. Was there thunder and lightning?:lol: Here if I don't walk in the rain I don't get to walk!
As for me I am going to go get my hair cut today. Not a big deal you say? Well my hair was almost to my waste 2 months ago. I had it cut about 4 or 5 inches. Now I am thinking of going short. My hair is just to frizzy at the ends even after the hair cut. I used to have nightmares over someone cutting it. It is just hair and I can grow it back but still it is my hair!:lol: OK how is that for being dorky!:lol: Tomorrow is the kids last day of school. They go from 8:45 to 11:00. In my opinion it is a waste to send them but I have a bit of quiet time at least. It has been hot here in the 80s and will be in the 90s today and tomorrow. I really hate being fat in hot weather. We are headed to Cali to meet Jason parents on the 24th and will be home the 26th.
Much love to you all, Daphne :coffee:
