Friday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois! TGIF!. Has anyone noticed, there are 2 weeks left to the "official " start of the holiday season? Well, I am off work today, but, it is going to be a busy day. I need to do errands and also clean house. Then need to get things ready for a weekend trip. We are getting a weekend over at Amish Acres. Our kids gave us a gift certificate for our birthdays, back in the spring. Due to other things, we were unable to use it til now. I am really looking forward to it. And best [part of the weekend is that I am off Monday too.  Mendy had her RNY yesterday. She was up walking last night. Has anyone heard from George? His  was yesterday also. What are your plans for today and the weekend? Come in and tell us. BTW, as I am sitting here at the computer, I am sipping on a decafe coffee, laced with non-fat creamer and equal, with a scoop of vannilla protien added in for good measure. Almost as good as a Starbucks, and not the cost or the drive. Lisa

Good morning. I didnt sleep too well last night so im up early playing games on the comp. My incesions leaking alot and causing discomfort this morning so I might take a drive to my pcp to male sure its not infected. No major plans this weekend. still resting and trying to heal. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Amish Acres? We love that area. Are you going to go to the Round Barn Theater? It is right there on the property. http://www.amishacres.com/  They have some good plays. We try to go there every time we are in the Nappanee or the Shipshe area. http://www.amishcountry.org/ Well, I have not fallen off of the face of the earth. It is just that Dave and I are doing a lot of things in the house. We decided several months ago to have our Christmas Bash/Holiday Bash so we have been getting rid of junk and straightening up the basement. For the last 3 years anything we did not want to deal with got stored down there. It is not a finished basement, just painted walls and floor. We also are finding things that we "saved" for whatever reason because we probably thought we would "need" it again. That goes for a lot of stuff from since we were married 33+ years ago. It is good to get rid of it. The garbage guy is not going to like us on Monday. We fortunately can put ANYTHING on the curb for PU and our garbage PU is free for our village.  Anyways, we have an NovemberFest party at the neighbors house on Saturday evening. Love their parties, fire pit outside, crisp weather etc. We will first serve lunch to the production team at church and then stay for the evening service.  Need to get to work. Christine

Hello Everyone, I am sitting here still working on sipping...I am tired alot this week and I am hoping each day gets better. I am excited for monday to come because I can start puree stage and maybe there will be more to have taste wise. My DH bought me the magic bullet blender last night and I am looking for smoothies to make in it...As for weekend not doing too much still healing... Thanks Martha

Yay, it's finally Friday.  This week has been a long one that's for sure.  I have to work today and then rush home and pick up Mike, Tyler and Jacob and we are off to parent teacher conferences for them.  I know they are both doing great, so no worries there.   I plan on going for a walk when we get home from that.  If it's dark already, I'll take Shane with me, no one bothers me when  he's with me because he's so big, too bad they don't know that he's a huge baby and would probably hide behind me!  LOL This weekend just the usual, cleaning, errands and finishing the boys hang out room.  My parents were wonderful enough to drive all the way  out here on Wednesday just to drop off a futon for the boys.  The boys love it and are very grateful to their grandparents for it.   Sunday I have a 2 hour online class for A&P from 5-7pm. I hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend too!

Good Morning Eveyrone!  I am at home right now, as I have a 9:40 dr. appt to get some of the stuff the insurance company was so wonderful not to tell us they needed up front.  So I am going to spend my morning at the Navy Hospital to get Rx for blood tests, EKG, maybe sneak a walk in with the dietician to get the consult part out of the way.  I might even try getting the ultrasound for the belly done and see if the pulmonologist will have a walkin available.  Just know them all out today.  I am using the Navy facilities because I do not want any surprise six figured bills arriving in my mail because the insurance did not pay for it. This weekend is cleaning house, washing the car, and home work.  I started a new class this week so I am still trying to get my reading done. I will check back in later with an update of all todays events.

Good Morning Lisa and the rest of Illinois! I have been working on an installation of new software here at work for almost 2 hours, and now, I need to "roll back" to the last version and am waiting on the "Tech non-support" line to find out how to do that.   GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!   While I am wasting all this time, I figured I would say "Hello!" I have an interesting weekend coming up.......Olivia will be home from White Pices tonight, but she is spending the night with a friend so that they can attend a Girl Scout thing tomorrow that leave really early in the morning.   The Boy Scouts are camping all weekend, so I will actually have the night to myself.  Sounds good, but I have NO IDEA what I will do with the time.  Probably jus****ch a movie and go to be early.  I do not lead that exciting of a life, I guess.  Tomorrow, I got roped into helping in the concession stand for the 3rd football playoff game.  It's not the worst thing that I could spend my time doing, but I can think of a bunch of other things I would rather do.  Olivia will be home by dinner tomorrow and the boys will be back Sunday afternoon.  Olivia and I will probably do something fun for dinner tomorrow night and watch another movie......  David wants a pot of Machine Shed Potato Soup, so I will probably do that on Sunday. Lisa, I'm sure you will have a great time at the Amish Acres. I am so glad to see that Mendy was up posting and walking so soon!! Good for her!  I'm hoping to hear that George is also doing well. I hope everyone is doing well and has a wonderful weekend!

Good Morning everyone.     Sorry for not posting lately but along with my double surgery scars healing, I caught a BAD cold and it's kicking my ass! Everytime I feel like sleeping that coughing starts up!  ooooh feels so good on my stomach!   LOL   Chris you should have taken advantage of my nervous energy pre-op.....could have cleaned that basement out for you and Dave in no time! Glad to see everyone doing good.......Got to love this weather!  I want out to play!   Martha you sound better....doing ok now? Pam

Pam if you have time give me a call....I would love to chat and I am doing a little better......

Good afternoon. I am working right now. Tonight am going to try on bridesmaid dresses, yes I am in another wedding!! Tomorrow night is Trivia Night and sunday is watching the bears game
