Friday.....what's up?

Aloha dear Vickie.....I do try and understand your situtation......and am overwhelmed by what you do on a daily basis. If I move back to Santa Cruz, I will have my own place........but I think I will be expected to take care of 3 little boys on a regular basis. Not sure I can do that, but on the other hand, I'd rather take care and know what they are doing than I would have living here on Maui. I guess when we have childen, and then they have children, our lives become focused....wheher we like it or not

Thankyou Vic!!!!

Hope your mom finds a nice place close to you so you won't worry about her being so far away!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Vickie....sorry your mom doesn't like that apartment after all. I pray something turns up soon.

Time to give Mike a nudge...only a couple days there or he can pay rent!! I sure hope they don't have another baby right away!!!  They should learn what causes it by now!!

Set a time limit as to when your bathroom is open to them. After that no one is allowed no mater what. Time for a lock inside the bedroom door. Keep a radio playing soft music and drown out the noise. YOU need your own time!! Chris must be able to take care of the babies herself now. Mike certainly needs to help when he is there. I constantly keep you in my prayers!

Love and hugs....connie d

 

Aloha sweet friend.....I am so happy to hear that you are close to finding your own place to live. I know you love Pam and are grateful for her sharing her home with you, but I also know how important it is for US to have our own place. I am daily grateful to have my own bed to crawl into and worry about living in Santa Cruz with my kids where I won't have that privacy.

Sending you a big warm hug and thanking you for all your positive shares over the years.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Aloha Maui Karen.....always a blessing to see your post!!

I am so praying that this works out with the apartment. I need a place of my own so badly!

I miss my bed most of all. I have a wonderful bed!! It is just awesome and so comfy!! I have been sleeping in a recliner for 5 months. I am very grateful to Pam. I want to be in my own place with all my things around me!!

I believe as we get older we especially need out privacy!!! So you have decided to not move to Santa Cruz? What ever you decide is the right thing for you!

Love you much....huge hugs....connie d

 

 

Good Evening Connie and OFF,

I've had a busy day here.  I had an appointment with a nurse at my hematologist's office.  Then, I stopped at the grocery store.  I then got to play with Franklin for a couple of hours.  His Daddy came home and was working on the yard with the tractor, so he took Frankie out on it, and then I brought the little bike he likes to ride outside.  When Colleen came home, I went to a meat sale at the IGA in town here.  As soon as I got home, I finished putting the tulip bulbs in the ground.  I'm hoping they all come up and bloom.  I chose 30 of a multicolor set of tulips.  I chose two packages of three colors of bulbs.  I'm so looking forward to seeing them all in bloom.  If they all bloom, it'll be spectacular.

Now, I'm waiting for dinner to finish cooking.  

Must scoot.

Hugs,

Trish

Trish,

I love tulips!  They won't grow properly here in South Texas, but I did have some limited success with them in East Texas.  I love tulips, daffodils and hyacinths!  I love all spring flowers, but will have to content myself with pansies and snapdragons this year, which will actually winter over quite nicely here.  I'm just about ready to plant them now.  They will bloom all fall, winter and spring.

I'm sure your garden will be a showpiece the whole neighborhood will enjoy!

What's for supper?  I'm making chicken and cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce.  We had a little cool front blow through and it put us all in the mood for "fall" cooking!

Love you!  Kiss all those babies for me!

Hi Vickie,

I made barbecue country style ribs and homemade scalloped potatoes.  I'm trying to steer clear of the box potato mixes, coz of all the additives.

Hope your chicken tasted yummy.

Hugs,

Trish

Tri**** sounds like you really had a busy day. Wow....you got a lot done!! I wish I wasn't always in so much pain....I would love to be able to do all you do.

I am sure everyone will enjoy your tulips!!

Love and hugs....connie d
