Good morning...it is Friday....what is new??

Good morning everyone....

I am having problems here on OFF.....my posts keep disappearing as I type them. I will try this once again. Darn Gremlins are back....LOL!!!

Not many people posted yesterday. I hope all is well. I worry when the regulars don't post.

Judy....did you get all your gifts bought for the tenants. When is the Christmas party?? I hope all is well at your house. I haven't seen much of you even on Facebook. 

Vickie....I hope you just had a busy day and nothing is wrong with Butch or any of your family. 

Trish....did you make it through the children's program at church. You  said you had so much to do. I wish I was there to help out. Like I told Vickie, wrapping presents is one of my favorite things to do. I know you mentioned needing to get that done too. 

Carla....I know you are fine as you are with Vinnie!!! I can only imagine the fun you are having.

Cindy P....I hope all is going well at your home!! 

Eileen....I am hoping you are having some pain relief today. 

My brain is shorting out...I can't think of anyone else's names...you know I care and love you all.

I am anxiously awaiting Amanda, Tyler and Lucas. Nothing like having those grandchildren around, no matter what their age. Tyler made me one of his famous homemade chicken pot pies for lunch today. I can't wait to eat that!!!!! 

Wishing you all a beautiful day!!!

Prayers for our special OFF Family and their families.

Loads of love  and bunches of hugs  to all....connie d

Good morning Connie!

I'm here and all is well.  Just had a super busy day yesterday.  Got PT coming in about 15 minutes and I need to get dressed before she arrives.  I'll try to get back here again later today.  

HOW ARE YOU FEELING???  Is the pain better today?

Hi Vickie....yes, I am feeling somewhat better today. I also went to bed at 7:00 PM and slept through until 8 AM. I don't remember sleeping that long in quite a long time. 

I am glad all is well with you and Butch too. Hope Butch's PT goes well.

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

Good Morning Connie and OFF. 

Computer is still sick. Spent hours past two nights with Sean helping me over the phone trying to fix. 

I am so upset with myself. Izzy had a piano performance at a nursing home last night, with other piano students and I completely forgot. I wanted to cry last night because of it. 

Kids program went great the other night. One of our precious girls accepted the Lord as her Saviour. 

Got my haircut yesterday. Have one more thing to get and I'm done Christmas shopping.  And my tree is finished. 

Must get going. 

Love and prayers,

Trish

Oh, Trish!  I completely understand!  One time we missed a band concert for Carrie.  She was driving herself at that point, and we just forgot to go!  It made us feel awful.  But it will be forgotten in time.  Forgive yourself and move on.  

Love you!

Hi Trish....sorry you are having a hard time getting your computer working right...I hope it gets well soon!!

I have missed performances...just forgot about them! Izzy will be okay....she will forgive you!! 

I am happy to here you are down to only needing one more gift. That is such a relief to finish with that.

Have a good rest of the day!! 

Love you....hugs....connie d

Afternoon OFF family...Been busy trying to get things done around here...OMG!!!! Still need to get family gifts wrapped!!!! Think I will take them over to club house and do them!!! MORE TABLE ROOM!!!!! LOL

Connie I sent you an email the other night...didn't you get it??????

Went to see EXODUS last night...OMG it was GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Was going to get my haircut but instead am going to wait and have my nephew do it when I get home...he is in school for being a barber and has only a few more hours before he is done. He is also doing womens hair he said...so why not let him do mine?? Mine is nothing fancy...just a pixie.

Working on another new tenant...WOOOHOOO!!!!

Well that's about it for today...

Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hi Judy...hope you get your gift wrapping done soon.  

I am so glad you got to see EXODUS.....I haven't seen it except previews. It is on my must see list.

Hope you nephew cuts your hair the way you want it. I know a lot of guys that do haircuts on both men and women. Like you said, it is a pixie, hard is it to mess up!!!

I checked in my emails and I haven't gotten one from you since November 25. First it was our phones not communicating, now our internet!! Try to send it again when you can. 

Have a good day sweetie!!! 

Love you much.....HUGS....connie d

Back again and hello sweet sistas!

UGH!  Judy, I empathize with you.  Wrapping presents is NOT my forte.  But I have several to wrap today: toys I bought for the boys.  Odd shapes and sizes.  Going to be a challenge to wrap them.  Bleh.

So, have a very happy announcement today!  We have finalized our deal with the sellers and all negotiations are done!  They are going to repair/replace the sections of the roof that have problems and guarantee that the roof will be in good repair with no leaks when we move in.  We accepted this and know that we will have to replace the roof in a few years.  They are only good for about 20 years, and this roof has 15 years on it.  Okay.  

We went yesterday and met with the septic tank inspector and got a really good report from him, so hurray!  And I was able to measure some areas and things in the house that I needed a bit more information on.  I still love the house!  This is probably the first time I've ever bought anything and didn't feel even a smidge of buyers remorse.  The owner was there and Butch bought--wait for it--ANOTHER tractor and all sort of equipment from him!  Oh, Lord.  That now makes FOUR tractors we own.  Honestly.  But I kept my mouth shut.  Butch also bought quite a bit of "good stuff" the man had out in his shop.  Again, I kept my mouth shut.  My husband is so excited and looking forward to doing so much at this new place.  It's a small price to pay for him to feel like he has much to live for, you know?

Got a busy weekend ahead of us.  Keeping the boys tonight.  The babysitter had a prior commitment for tonight.  At least she told Christie about it over a week in advance so we could all make plans.  Carrie and Leo (boyfriend) are driving down tonight and will spend the weekend with us.  So I'm doing laundry and wrapping presents and other chores as fast as I can this morning so I'm ready for fun and company all weekend.

In fact, I need to get back to work right now.  Just wanted to pop in and check on everyone.  Love you all!

Hi Vickie...am I the only person that likes to wrap gifts on this board???  LOL....I really do!!!!

Congratulations...I am so happy for both of you!!!!!   I knew God would bring you to the right house at the right time!! Now you can start planning on how you want to decorate it and such!! How fun!!! What a great Christmas gift!!!!

Four tractors...you two can have races together!!! I can see you both driving them down main street at the 4th of July parade!! Sorry, my imagination is running away from me!! 

If will be helpful to have Carrie and Leo there to help with the boys. How is Budder reacting to the Christmas Tree?? I am sure he is pretty excited. Good thing you decorated it accordingly!! 

Is Maybelle behaving herself?  She is a rascal!! Is Patti-Kate handling her well. She wasn't sure how to react at first.

Have a lovely evening with your family!!! 

Love you much...Hugs....connie d
