WHAT HAPPENING FRIDAY

Well I spent all day working on my ponds, cleaning them out and putting in plants and all. Putting rocks all around and working on getting them just right. Dug some more on the one for the place up next to the house. Too.

Joe was painting ceilings in the rental so I just stayed out of his way. I think I almost got sunburned on my back playing in the sun and water like this today but it was so much fun to have them back in operation and looking nice and pretty again.

 

I also did some mowing after getting that done. Then Joe was done with the painting and he took over the mowing. I brought the new mail box up on the back porch and started working on putting that on the post and going to paint it green to match the roof of our house then will put big white numbers on it.

 

Im going to have to quit goofing off tho if we are going to get this all done. Daughter called today and now we have to go get her tomorrow. For an appointment , she still doesn’t have a car and she cant drive her husbands truck.

I guess I could go by myself and let Joe stay and work but I get so sleepy when I drive long distances that im just not safe. Especially by myself. Now if I have someone with me im ok.

 

Wow did we ever have some thunder and lightening , hail and wind. Could see circular movement in the clouds over head ….the tops of the trees were swirling around but that was all.

 

 

 

DEBBIE  D: YEP  two s.f. lollypops for you what flavor do you want?

Oh yeah that log house was really earthy and looked like it had been there for a long long time.

 

Well im sure you have your Luke home with you by now. I know you are thrilled.

And sure he has loads to tell you all about where , what and when.

 

Oh boy another convert to sweet potatoes, they are so much better for you than a baked white potato….and if you want a little different taste treat along with your butter you put on it put a little fat free cream cheese. Very good tasting.

 

Did you see the question  yesterday from Sugar? Was wondering myself I forgot where it was you live in Kansas .

 

 

DEBBIE  M::::  oh wow Debbie that is wonderful about Davids surgery yesterday. God is awesome , yes he is.

We will keep him in prayer that the next surgery will go as well as this one did , We will believe that God brought him this for he will continue to hold him in his hand and continue to give him the care he needs

 

Yes I am thinking those two are some of my favorites too. So far I think they have gotten it right about who went home tonight.

 

 

 

SUGAR:::: that is wonderful new about Mike. I hope he really means it and is willing to really turn his life around. Will mean all the world to those two boys and what they think of him .

Now that sounds like a good rehab to me….so many times the rehabs have the people in there and they are in a make believe place with no care or worries and then when they get out ,bam , life slaps them in the face again. and they turn back to the way they were.

This maybe they learn to handle life along with everything else.

 

You confused and dis conbobulated ??? don’t believe it for a minute. You love giving parties so I know it will all go ok.

I do have some ideas but not a definite one at the moment about the meetings. We will see, no we never have lacked for something to talk about.

 

 

 

BEV:::: Did you see my answer to your question I posted yesterday about? If not go back to yesterday and read my answer to you under your post ok.

Stuffed strawberries that sounds like a lot of trouble. Lol Im really not into food being hard to prepare lol

They do sound wonderful tho anything to do with strawberries is something that I would love.

Good luck on the new job….it will be fine till you get what you want .

 

 

 

BEC::::.FIRST OFF HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU , HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BECKY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.  Hey there lady. Was great talking to you on the phone today. My phone kept crackling and popping right after we hung up we had another round of small storm.

 

Sounds like you are going to have all sorts of squash doesn’t i****ch out everyone make sure your car windows are rolled up and doors locked,,,,

Well did you get your rose of sharons all planted? Be sure and save me seeds from the double pink ones ok? All of mine are single ones.

Yeah just put the limb of the geranium in the dirt and it will take root . or at least mine do , I keep them watered well while they are rooting tho.

You can put them in water and make them root that way too.

 

 

 

TAMMY-AMMY:::: well tomorrow is your hernia surgery. I hope they get you all fixed up and we will be waiting to hear from Janet tomorrow. You take care and tell your doctor to take good care of you ok?

Glad you spent some time with the Princess, nothing like them to make you feel all better.

Yes he is due a good fishing trip that is for sure. We have been working him way too much lol

 

 

JANET:::::.sounds like your day was busy and nothing like you had planned at all. but the day ended well with the fishing trip, yes those are the sort of things that kids remember and take with them into adult hood.

 

Good thing your fish jumped up out of the water so you did have some proof lol . that is always my luck too.

Feel sorry for Megan but a lot of women are like that. I use to keep several saltine crackers beside the bed and before I got up in the morning I would nibble on those , it kept the morning sickness at bay seemed like.

There are several baby sites online too. Put free baby stuff in google and you will get all sorts of sites that give away stuff.

 

I would get a big plastic box with a lid and put Stephs things in it she may want some of that stuff one day , and if she don’t she don’t but at least you will have it if she does ever. And if she does ever want it and you didn’t save it , well it will be a fiasco im sure.

 

Im glad that you aren’t ever taken in by that ex of yours , he must think your brain is mush or something lol like you forget who he is sometimes.

 

Good for Mike , you should be healing from that stuff too. You might have your vit counts checked. That could be why you aren’t healing from the fall and the sunburn. All of it might be related in one way or the other.

 

Before my garden starts producing really well I have thought about getting one of those sealing machines.  Yours is a Food saver? Can I ask you how much it was? Is it better than the seal a meal one?

 

Yes Jane comes to the meetings most months. She has missed but she comes pretty regularly  . you have a email from me ok?

 

Yes the lady and her husband hand built the log home them selves and it is so authentic looking. like it was built in the early 1800 ….they have this huge table in their kitchen that is a big hunk of tree sliced in half it is about 8 inches thick  about 6 ft wide and 10 ft long. sanded to a smooth as a babys butt and varnished till it shines ….he built it in the house because it wouldn’t have went in the doors if he had built it outside lol

The house is very earthy and wonderful .im not sure that I would like it all the time since I like light and airly stuff , like a summer garden. and this isnt that but it is so so great too.

Boy I wish you lived closer too. Would put a paint brush in your hand real quick lol

 

 

 

SHANNON :::: glad that your cousin made it back ok . that is good that all your family there in Ia are ok cause it has been a bad place to be lately.

That is cute and funny about your dad and his gambling like he says he pays his bills and it isnt anyone elses business what he does with the rest of his money. Lol

How tall are you Shannon, when I met you the one time I didn’t think you were that tall ? do you feel like you are too thin? If not just don’t let them get too you. Tell them that they are being rude at best and  not helpful at all. 

I think your answer is perfect.

 

 

 

ANGY::::: I know it is hard to be patient and wait for them to do the things they are suppose to do isnt it? Mo-baratrics has  never been know to do things fast and efficient tho. So maybe calling them Friday might not be a bad thing but if it hasn’t been long enough it might never know what they are going to do when it is like that.

Your ex and Janets ex need to meet up some time lol

They both sound like some piece of work. Not sure that they are really fit to be called humans.

Don’t worry about your daughter one of these days she will see him for what he was and is. Are you going after him for no child support? You need to .

Any time you need to vent this is a good safe place to do it. Don’t worry we wont turn you into the cyber police.

 

 

 

CHRISTINE::::::SEEMS everyone gets so busy after weight loss surgery that they forget all of us but they will come back and say Hi most times anyway.

We miss you all when you don’t come on the board.

Sounds like you are doing great for the wls and the weight loss.

The canoe trip , would love to be on there with you

Where do you get your new protein drink?

Never heard of it right now anyway.

Take care

 

 

 

 

ANDREW::::::I can imagine how you are tired from packing but really glad that you all say you don’t want to move ever again, that is great for us too.

Yeah it is getting close and closer and closer, we have decide to get everything in the kitchen painted and in the bathroom , and two bedrooms then we will do the cabinets …

And then the floors so maybe we will have the majority of your house ready for you. Hopefully anyway.

Yeah as long as I stay busy and not just sitting I do alright on the carb situation.

Best thing tho is to just not buying it lol

We are excited for you being here too for sure.

Did you think they got it right about who they put off the show tonight?

 

 

Wow I didn’t think I would ever get all of this posted and felt good about it.

But we had a lot of people posted on the computer. GOOD CROWD. LOL

 

 

 

GOD BLESS EVERYONE

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, guess I get the SF lollipop today?  Yes Jan, I saw your reply I did more shakes today I got in 68 gms of protein from shakes that's better then I normally do guess I need to work on that some more I know that still isn't enough protein.  I went to walmart and got a dry/erase board that is a calander and put it on the frig so that I can have a place to write my protein down and see it so maybe that will help me stay on track?  Yes stuffed strawberries it is a bit of a pain guess you could just make the stuffing part and dip the strawberries in it would be the same....lol  You know I read on another ladies page on another board and she suggested that if you can't finish your shakes to make popcicles out of them.  They have those popcicle molds at walmart and bed bath and beyond so I thought that was a good idea and a fun summer treat? I went to the pool and low and behold was there about an hour and it started raining I was so bumed out however it was cloudy to begin with.  Guess I will try again tomorrow after my orientation hopefully it won't rain tomorrow too. I made a wonderful BBQ crockpot chicken dish but guess my pouch was too picky I couldn't keep it down however not sure if it was the chicken or the corn on the cob?  Guess I won't know until I try just the chicken part not sure if I want to risk that again but I did get to taste it and it was very yummy what I got to keep down.  It's all SF and low fat my sister loved it! I dred going to orientation for 5 hrs. I guess I'm just spoiled since I haven't worked in over a month I'm not wanting to go would rather stay home with my fur kids.  I know it will be ok I just think I'm going to be really bored with this job. Well, guess I better get to bed and have to let the pups out.  Take care everyone and have a great day....TGIF

Good Morning MO Peep's       Thought I would pop in and say Hi, Hello & Howdy!!! Cant say that this year has started out on a very good note. Dont understand why something have happen the way they have but trying to leave it all in the Lord's hands. And that a very hard thing for me to do!!!!!      As most of you know. I just lost my Mother a little over a month ago. It still doesnt seem real. I find myself missing her so much!!!! I cant believe that she is gone. Dont get me wrong I'm glad that she isnt suffering anymore. And trust me in the last stages she did alot of suffering.     Ive been keeping busy. Terry & I have been taken turns going back and forth from my Dad's to home. My Dad, G-ma and brother are moveing. So for the last 3 weeks I have spent alot of time down there with them. Helping them pack, paint, have a garage sale, go thro photos, bills ect. Terry just came home on Wed evening. He was down there doing some electrical work for them. He installed some outside plug in's, a celeing fan for their new liveing room, and a beatiful chanderlier. When he goes back he is changeing their bathroom tub over so that they can take showers instead of just haveing a bath.     Their new landlord is laying new carpet down in the liveing room, dineing room thro the hallway and in all 3 bedrooms. We have all the painting down except the kitchen. After were done painting in there she is putting down a new tile floor. I found some real merial (sp) to put on the tile that is used for the back splash in the kitchen. I'm looking foward to getting to put that up for them.     I got a phone call last night from my neice that lives in MN. She was in labor with her 2nd daughter. She called off and on until just before 4am when they took her in to do a C-section on her. Her daughter arrived just before 4 this morning. So I'm a great Aunt again for the 5 time. Her name is Aarayha Marie. Marie is after my Mother it was her middle name. I know my Mother would be so proud to know that. They sent me photo's via cellphone this afternoon. And I'm near busting to get to hold her. Terry & I are talking about going to MN after the 4th of July. So we can go up and see her and my other neice that lives in MN also. Plus we'll stop in Iowa (Des Moines) thats where I was raised. I wanna go see the old neighborhood. And visit some grave sites of family members.      Terry got the pool up and filled. Ive been in it acouple of time. I would be in it more if I could keep my butt of the motorcycle that Terry & I bought. Approx 2 weeks ago Terry & I went and bought a 2007 Goldwind Tour bike that were going to convert over to a Trike. YEA!!! Weve been jumping on it and away we go. It is soooooo much fun. I'm haveing the time of my life. The organazation that was helping Terry & I when we had the kids. Asked Terry & I if we would be interested in joining their group. So next month is our first official meeting. Then we have to finish our paperwork and then we will get our BACA patches. Were really excited and looking foward to being involved with them. They are wonderful people that really care about kids. And make it a point that it is all about the kids!!! So I know that Terry & I will fit right in. We actually got to go camping with them over the weekend last week. Altho we only stayied for 2 days & nights. I had to leave for my Dad's otherwise we would of stayed for the other night. I havent laughted that hard in a very long time. It was just what the doc ordered.    I'm still have major issuses with my back. I'm still seeing my pain mangement doc in KC. But she is referring me over to a Ortho Specialist. That wants to talk to me about doing surgery on my back. Last doc I saw for it wanted to put a 9 to 10inch steel rod in my back and I would lose approx 25% mobility. Not no but HECK NO!!!    I'm also going to start the process of getting my TT. Hopefully I can get it done and be ready to go back to school by the end of the year. I guess I will have to wait and see how it goes.     I'm going to try and get to the meeting this month. I've almost got Terry talked into driveing the bike up so he can come with me to the meeting. Not that I have to talk to much on the subject. He is always ready to jump on the bike and go.     Well I just wanted to get on here and catch everyone up on whats been going on. Hopeing to see ya'll at the meeting. Have a great weekend. Sunday were haveing a cookout at my place and have 3 couple comeing over to play in the pool and grill out. Hopeing that it stays nice cause I wanna do smores on our burner that sits on our deck. Take Care Melissa

Good Morning Y’all,

Well I thought I’d get in my post early and get the SF lollipop for the day but I guess Im late already  LoL  Bev wanted it more the me  LoL.  Today was a busy day and tomorrow is gonna be another one I guess.  I have to over to the church we go to and show the pastor how to work on the church website,  I’ve taken care of and built the website the church has for the last couple years and I prolly will continue to do so after we move but when we move I will prolly be without internet a couple weeks until we get it all ordered and settled and stuff so he’s gonna try to keep it updated til then.  Then I have to show the girl that is gonna take over the cleaning what to do, we have done that too for the last couple years,  I love doing stuff like that for others, gonna miss it but am so looking forward to what is instore for us  in Cedarcreek, MO.  Susan is off again today so hopefully we’ll get the majority of the packing wrapped up,  got the chest freezer cleaned out and thawed so hopefully when next Saturday comes around we’ll load it all on the truck for the big move. 

 

Jan I bet your ponds are looking so cool,  they were looking nice when we were there last week,  I know your anxious to get the one by your house done, that’s gonna look so nice.  I can’t wait to get there and get settled and start sprucing up the yard on our place up some,  in the summer I’ll prolly spend more time outside then inside,  I just love the outdoors.  Sounds like there’s not to much painting left to do I know that’s been a big chore in itself,  hopefully the living room wont be to hard to paint once everything is outta there, its really gonna look so nice!!  I guess I was ok with the ones that got voted off  Dance last night, there really are some good ones, as the weeks go on the competition will get tougher. 

 

Well Im gonna head off to bed, gonna try and get an early start in the morning.  Hope everyone has a good day,  Jan drive safe if you go by yourself,  I know what ya mean about getting sleepy if your alone, I get that way but if someone is with me I am perfectly fine.   Be safe.

 

Bless ya’s

Andrew

Good morning!!! Well, it sounds like you and Joe will be remodel experts by the time you get this one done and you can start hiring out for projects.... Ive always thought you could hire out as landscapers anyway, so now you can do all the inside and outside. lol!

Today I have the first annual Senior Adult BD party. I hope they enjoy it. But I think I am going to take a months break and not do anything for the month of July. I have about 40 signed up for this and next month will be even fewer because of summer time rush.  The WW park was great and had a blast with Skyler and he is so excited about his dad. He asked me if I would go down there with him to see his dad....I think he might be nervous about it for some reason.  Ive got to get busy this morning and get my shower while it isnt storming. I hate taking a shower while it is lightening... It stormed here almost all night with some big thunder and lightening. Our pond is full to capacity again.  Hey sis, my tomato plant is long and leggy, should I pinch off the tops a ways back or is it too late to do that?  I should have done it before but we were gone over the weekend and that is when they grew sooo much!  My other pots of flowers love all this rain and are looking sooooooo pretty.  I bought some huge begonias at Wally World the other day for $3.98. It only took 2 of them to fill my huge big green flower pot. I bought 4 of them and put two more in another pot. I was trying to dress up the back yard a little for the fish fry tomorrow. I think I might go buy some hostas for my hosta bed....the Family flowers place had them marked down and so did Walmart.  Our fish fry this time is for 6 people from church that bought it at the dessert auction for $75 last year...this years went for $175..can you beleive that? I hope they arent dissappointed! lol! Ricks fish is the best in the world but that is alot of money to pay for a dinner for 6! lol Well, gotta go. Have a great and wonderful day! Love ya all!

Good Foggy Morning Missouri,

Jan ~ Thank you for the song this morning!  Nice way to start the day!  I sure did enjoy talking to you on the phone as always!  I am going to try and get the bushes in the ground tomorrow as it is so muddy now and I will need Paul to help me get the holes bigger.  With all this rain the grass will have to be cut again too. Tomorrow's work! ~ha  Thanks for always being there to answer my horticultural questions... you are GREAT!  I will save you some seed for sure. Been up this morning and have done some dishes already, pulled some weeds and deadheaded the verbena.  They have bloomed so very well already this year... they are pretty much bloomed out right now...it will be interesting to see if they go another round later....?  Is that bloomed out flower head the seed? like marigolds? Don't have much planned for the day... I am going to make myself a pitcher of strawberry tea... made with fresh strawberries (like you get at Ruby Tuesdays)... get a good book, settle in my comfy chair, put my feet up and take it easy. ~ha I woke up this morning thinking about Tammy and praying her surgery goes well.  Christine ~ it was good to see you post, glad all is going well. Everyone have a great and wonderful day! bec

Jan, yeah, he is on probation for nonpayment,  it was a felony being over $5,000.  But his probation officer wont do anything about it.  He say's they really get along & she understands him.  I've called her & she says not to worry about it that they are handeling it on their end.  What a wonderful system we have huh?  (((HUGS)))Angy

Good Morning, Jan & MO Peeps!

 

Guess I missed the SF lollipop this morning!  Drats!!

 

Yes, Luke is home safe and sound!  We got home around midnight last night.  Needless to say we were all exhausted.  My DH had to get up and go to work this morning.  I just took our girls (poodles) to the groomers.  They really need it and they will be so cute once they are groomed with their pretty little bows!

 

The Lord is doing a mighty work in Luke’s life!  Luke wants us all to continue to pray for him as he seeks out God’s will in his life.  God has given him a love for the Japanese people and wants to go back to spend the entire summer next year.  He has some really interesting stories and pictures to share.   I will try and post some of the pics early next week.

 

Tonight is Jake’s graduation from Brown Sea Camp.  I’m so glad we will all be able to attend.  It will mean a lot to Jake for Luke to be there too.  Yes, tonight we will all be under the same roof!  Praise the Lord!  Tomorrow morning Jake and DH will be camping again with the troop for the orienteering merit badge.  Jake has already received this one but said he would help the other boys.

 

Jan – my favorite flavor of sf lollipop is grape!  So please safe me one!  I’m sure your yard is beautiful with all the flowers and ponds.  My tomato plants are doing well.  My Dad says he thinks I over fertilized them.  I’ve fertilized them twice.  They are huge and there are a few tomatoes on them.  Dad thinks there should be more tomatoes on them by now.  Any suggestions?  I put Sevin on them and it seems to have helped whatever was eating on the.  I’m really hoping they start producing more.  There are big red tomatoes, purple tomatoes, green stripped tomatoes, yellow pear shaped tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, etc.  I really want to make one of those heirloom tomato salads I’ve seen in the magazines.

 

Sugar – I live in Gardner .  We have a Whiskey Creek that just opened a few months ago.  DH and I had a great time outside on the terrace enjoying our dinner just the two of us.  Wichita is about 3 hours from us.

 

Tammy – will be praying for your hernia surgery.  Please have someone post on how you’re doing.

 

Bev – wow, wish we had an outdoor pool at our YMCA!  I think I would be there about everyday.  You need to send me the recipe for the BBQ crock-pot chicken.  I love using the crock-pot!  The best thing about the boys being gone this past week is that I only cooked 1 day!  I told my hubby that when the boys move out I simply am not going to be cooking like I do now!   Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled Luke is back.  I’m going to make him his favorite for dinner tonight – Shepherds Pie!

 

Bec – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BEC!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!  Hope you have a GREAT Birthday!

 

The rest of the MO Peeps -  Have a GREAT & SAFE weekend!

 

Debbie D.

Well, what a day!! Good Evening All... Today was David's first day back to work and he did good, Yeah!! He said he had some pain but not near as much as he use too! We have a grandbaby on the way!! Jason called, Wendy's water broke!! So anytime now! Yeah!! Jennifer Lynn is about to make her presence know to all the world!!....lol JANET...I can send you the website where you can get all the answers to the questions you have about this spinal stimulation that David is trying out, if you want.  Unfortunately, his doc said that it doesn't work as well for back pain as it does for legs and feet. Trust me, I would be all over that if it did! You never know though! It doesn't hurt to read, research and check it out! There may be doctors out there that disagree with our doc. We see that all the time...don't we?  Lap vs RNY vs Sleeve vs ??? Then we look at the doc that told Craig that he would have to live with his trach for the rest of his life and look at him now!....shows you, we just never know! God has a plan and we never know what it is until we get there! Unfortunately, David may not get his surgery until September. A guy that David works with (he and David do the same job and work each others days off) is in the hospital with colon issues and it doesn't look good. They don't know when he will be back so you can imagine that everyone there is spread pretty thin. The next surgery is supposed to be permanent JANET. I don't know how they would change the batteries though. It's supposed to work like a pace maker...however that is....lol Well, I need to get off here so I can get that new Grandma call...lol You all have a great evening...God Bless!!  Deb M.
