Happy Friday :o)~

TGIF... Lets DO the Dance!!!  The thunderboomers so kindly woke me up as they were passing thru at 3:30am!!  Decided not to fight it anymore so here I am.. Yay..  Should be able to get off work early today and head out early for some CAMPING...!!  WoooHoooo!!   Randy is supposed to be pooring some concrete this morning in the newly created patio area..  That should be fun..  He has been sensing my dissappointment lately on the fact that he is still jobless and not doing much, so he has been finally getting at some long overdue projects in the yard.  Built a cedar wood retaining wall and it looks fantastic.  Hopefully....maybe...  I can get him to work on the bathroom project before he finds a job..  But we wont talk about that this weekend...;-) The weather forcast is saying that we will likely be hit with a T-Storm or 2 this afternoon/Evening so my goal is to try and get out to the camp ground and get set up before it starts, but we will see.  Got the screen tent to try out too!  Other than this evening, the weather is going to be awesome this weekend!! Saturday & Sunday both say 77-78 Sunny with patchy clouds. If you need to reach me, I would be happy to pm you my digits.. Printed out the hourly from accuweather.  3pm 91° F Mostly Cloudy 4pm 90° F T-Storms 5pm 90° F T-Storms 6pm 89° F Mostly Cloudy Wishing you all a wonderfully blessed weekend!!

Mornin' Dana! I was also kindly woken by the storms and when it started to hail, I got a little nervous about my van being out of the garage, but it didn't last long so hopefully no damage. Randy's pouring concrete in the wet conditions??? hmmmmm...me construction experience says not. Unless he's tarping. Have a great weekend of camping and make sure someone gets a new pic of you so we can update that avie of your's GF!!!

I should have said Randy is suppose to be pouring concrete today..  They do have a plan to try to get it done during the non-rain times of the day an then tarp it off, but who knows.. However when I was just outside with the dog I noticed 2 of the areas that they are working on are lakes.  Im thinking no concrete today... Hopefully no damage to your van too!!  I didnt hear or see any hail out my way so I think we are good on the east end.. I got my "How to" book marked so I can try to change that avie..

looking forward to meeting new friends!  Be gentle with me, Campin Virgin here :)

aaah Buffy!!  Camping virgin...!! Funny you!!  See ya later!

TGIF...wishin I was going camping with you all.   I'm stressed to the max here.....18 yr old daughter decided she'd be better off if she left us again.    I am trying not to be a push over again and told her she's out and not coming back to live.   I'm feeling guilty and sad all in one.   I just need to get over it I guess.    I'm not even sure she knows exactly where she's going to go other than stay with her dad right now...but he told us last night she can't live with him.    I told him I'd taken care of her for 18 yrs now he can have a turn.....he told me "that's how you wanted it".....oh yeah I wanted him to have an affair with a good friend of mine so I was raising 2 kids alone.   It's ok I threw it back in his face how I am very very happy now with my new husband and kids....and if he has issues with me being happy he better just get over it cuz I am much better off.    Ok now I'm rambling. Have a great time camping!!!!   If I wasn't so far away I'd drive down for the day tomorrow.   I wanna see pics.

Hugs to you Michelle ~ Kinda going through my own thing with our 19 y/o daughter...  Wanting so much indepedence, yet living at home and expecting NO rules or responsibilities..  aaaaaaaaarrrg!! Wishing you all the best!!

Hey Dana!  I'm doing my Happy Weather dance today at my desk!  Will Jen be coming this weekend?  It would be nice to meet her & talk Mankato!  (wait... brain fart... she DOES to go Mankato, right???) I'm HOPING to run over and get our tent set up during my lunch break, rather than AFTER it rains...   If you get a wild hair, when you arrive - my office is directly across the street from the park entrance!  2nd of the 2 buildings.  Stop in & say howdi!  SOME of us have to WORK 'til 4:30!!! 

OK...  I apologize but I LAUGH every time I look at your avie...!!  I just love the FUN..!!  I think we should have some photo fun this weekend.. JEN is NOT coming...  She decide to pick up more work..  You know... more money you got, the more you spend...?!?  Yeah.. Anywhooo..  Jen will not be returning to Mankato this year.  She made the decision to transfer to Century to finish her generals for 1/2 the cost and live at home off of us... :-)  She made a good plan I think.  I am proud of her and sticking to it..  For awhile I got the impression that she would rather work 2 full time jobs... Thats a good plan on your tent setting up..!!  I hoped that we could definately get out there and all set before rain and also be able to help anyone else that may need assistance.  If we get there SUPER early, I will definately run over and say howdy..! You should have my digits...  Let me know if you need anything..

Good Morning Dana and TGIF is right!! Have a wonderful time camping. Greet everyone for me. I sure wish I could be there. My week end will be fun too. Speding time with my daughters and grandchildren is always such a blessing. Love and hugs.....I will be waiting for a sexy new avatar of you!! connie d
