What's this??? Could I be the 1st to wish everyone a good Sunday morning, after Barb? Okay, gotta' type fast.....
Still dark here, too....but am watching the Weather Channel and we're to be sunny today....and a little warm.....maybe I'll wear my new shorts I got at the Thrift Shop here yesterday and my Eyore shirt I got at the Disney store.....Yeap, Donna and I went shopping and had a ball......and all my purchases cost me less than $20..... The 4 of us are staying put today......planning to watch both NASCAR races and eating some good "Snacks".... So, I'll be checking back from time to time to see what everyone here is doing....

You all have a great day......Okay, Barb, more coffee and do you have some donuts??

Good morning to all!

Thanks for thinking about me Zeee,... but Hanna was only a suggestion here.



All we had was heavy and dreary sky all day and a cool breeze. I hope there wasn't too much damage done for those of you closer to her. Now we have to watch Ike and see where he heads. This morning's projected path has it heading toward TX,... watch out Bethers!

Everyone stay safe!

well I'm up way too early, the clock said 3:11, so here I am an hour later and
on my third cup of coffee, not that I need it but its habit and I like the taste.
Will try to do a normal routine day today, laundry and cleaning and go to the
grocery store. Prayers for those dealing with Hanna and Ike and will keep up
on the news with that.
Hugs for everyone

Morning to All - Turned on my big computer this a.m. and got a flashing screen for a bit. Turned it off and back on and it is okay for now - Right now I'm on the laptop while I back up ALL my files on the PC. Taking no chances. I usually back up the end of every month but forgot to for August - maybe it was just trying to remind me. If it is a problem, I hope it is just the monitor...We drove around the area yesterday, I was trying to find a bead shop that sold seed beads - yah good luck. In Vegas there were 3 almost within walking distance. So guess today I'll let my fingers do the walking through the internet. It's Bills fault that I need beads - he built me a real neat bead holder for 100s of vials of beads - now I need to fill it. Right? Just like the book case he built. Later today we'll be glued to the TV watching the NASCAR races....GO KYLE!!! - funny we live right next to Columbus, IN Tony Stewarts home town, but I just can't get up any enthusiam for him. Days like this I really miss my son John, used to go to the stock car races with him when he was young. Also of all my boys he is the only one who was into NASCAR - kind of weird but his wife got a NASCAR urn for his ashes - He was a Dale Earnheart JR fan from the get go - so we always kidded about who won. Enough
Our motorhome is fixed - just a broken connection in the refrigerator - thank goodness. Thinking about going somewhere close next week. Got to use some of our 1000 time. And get everything back in it that we have forgotten - nothing like a trip to find out what we forgot.
Well the PC seems to be fine - will turn this off and see how it behaves.

Good Morning!! Beautiful morning here too.

I had set the alarm to let me sleep a little over a full 9hrs. It didn't happen. Dang bladder routine woke me up at 5:45 and as soon as I started moving around of course Shade got right in my face all excited. She has her morning routine too. ~sigh~ Dummy me I went to bed at 10 and had first set my alarm to go off after 7 1/2hrs and then I remembered that this morning was Sunday. Kelly and I don't have to go into work until noon so I reset the alarm to give myself some extra sleep. I was really looking forward to it too. We work today from noon until 9 tonight. Blech!

It's beautiful and peaceful out on the back stoop, I have spent more than a bit of time out there this morning. Of course it was pitch dark out there when I first took Shade out to do her morning thing. It sure does seem like the mornings have gone back to being dark at 5:30am again in a hurry this year. I'm not looking forward to Winter. I will enjoy the Fall season with all of it's colors and cooler temps but not the cold of Winter. But this morning just as day was breaking I could still hear the last of the night singers doing their very best to hold the daylight back while the first of the morning songsters where doing their very best singing a joyful welcome to the rebirth of morning. What a wonderful chorus. The air is cool and very still with fog laying all around. And while I could hear some traffic out on the highway it faded to nothing while I closed my eyes and focused on enjoying the chorus of morning singers joining in, adding to, blending and harmonizing with what was left to last of the night song. Sometimes I forget to take the time to hold still and simply enjoy the moment.

Like I said we have to be into work at noon today. But we are meeting up with 3 of the other ladies from work to have breakfast at Cracker Barrel at 10. It's a good time to meet up there and get a table. 10am is right between the first morning crowd and the out of church crowd. That place gets swamped when church lets out!!! That and Shoneys, good grief! There were 4 of us last time but I invited one other girl this time. She at first turned it down cause she said she didn't have the money to spare. Had to admit I did think fast for a change and gave her a funny look. Asked her who said anything about needing the money?? That Kelly and I were gonna buy her breakfast. I thought she was gonna cry. She doesn't have a very easy life or home life so this will be a big treat for her. She is the only one working in her family of 3, her son, while in main stream schooling is slightly special needs, her significant other is on SSI so her paycheck has to stretch a long way. We all like her, she is in her mid to late 30's and sweet hearted.

Next weekend is our weekend off. Depending on our money I am gonna try my darnedest to go camping. We have not been able to go even once this summer. Well except for the GTG over in Crossville TN, but we stayed in a camping cabin then. We both want to go for a weekend and actually camp. Don't know yet if we will go over into NC or down to Pigeon Forge? LOL Depending on money we or I might be putting up the tent in the back yard. But camp out I will.

Well I've flapped my fingers long enough, I think I will start getting around and dressed for the day. Opps! Yep, Kelly just stumbled out of her bedroom and into the bathroom so I guess I had better get it in gear. There goes the shower, my Kelly is the most sweetest thing in the morning. Happy, cheerful and loving. NOT! My Kelly is more along the lines of in the mornings. hehehe

Hey Barbz, my coffee mug is raised in salute this morning to you and the rest of the sistahs. I've been working on my pot here and got it over half drained. What with drinking all of mine here and going to Cracker Barrel? I don't think I will need to worry about taking my travel mug to work. I'll be sloshing and running to the bathroom most of the work day. Which will be all to the good really. It will give me lots of mini breaks.

Hope everyone has glorious day today. Stay safe and stay dry.

Love to all

GOOD MORNING-----GOOD MORNING ---GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it is still raining here in our part of Kansas today!!!!!!!

Still working toward getting things ready for those auctions the first of Oct--------We still have so much to do--but what a relief it is going to be to have it all over with!!!!!!!!!!

Probably will take a smaller moving truck load back down to Mo next week------Hubby's tools----& things we could not get in the last BIG truck load! Also the small freezer--- & other things!!

No Barb--we don't have a storm shelter at our new home-------but there is a basement in the Club House & I am with in running distance of the club house!!!!

Also our neighbor behind our creek has a build in storm shelter in the ground! Don't know if I could cross the creek that fast or not--------maybe running to the basement in the club house would be best!

Well I still have not had time to read posts!!!!!!!! Thanks to Barb & her recap is all the news I get----------of the forum! We have not turned on a TV or anything for news for so long-----we have missed all the world & local news at Kansas & Mo---------toooooooooooo busy-------things will slow down in a month & half!!!!!! And we can sit on the porch & deck & listen to the tree frogs again!!!!!!

Take care everyone!!!!!!! later OO

Morning all. We had lots of rain here, and there are leaves all over my back yard, so it was a little gusty too. But, we needed the rain and some of it soaked in. Bynum Run, just down below the house, was running fast yesterday and high in its banks, but didn't overflow. Today looks like it's going to be beautiful. Hope everyone is safe and dry. I'm working on my second cuppa tea and have some bacon in the oven. Waiting for GD to wake up and gt ready to face the day. She'll spend the day with her mother...well, from noon to dinner time. And today is a big day for her (if mom remembered to bring home her hair cutting tools) because GD is cutting her hair for "locks of love". I"m proud of her for wanting to do this, but am also very excited about the short hair that maybe she can take care of without so much of my help!!!

Hope ya'll have a great day.

Glad to hear that Marslet and family didn't have too much damage from the storm. I was wondering how she made out. Our local TV channels only talk about local towns and the weather channel only talks about New Orleans. We only had some tree limbs down. A couple from Abbeville went to Baton Rouge and were killed by a tree that fell on the house they were in. We don't know which way to run. I went to Alexandria but couldn't find a campground so went West. Gustav was predicted to make a turn to the West after it came on shore but went northwest through Alexandria and Shreveport. Where I was there was very little wind or rain.

We will be watching Ike and trying to guess which way to run.
