Morning all,

Yoo hoo Soos, where are you Thought you would have had the coffee going already this mornng. Oh well, guess I will start it up then.

Not much new to report here. Same old, same old. A bright sunny morning following a frosty night. Highs heading into mid 50's today. Typical for this time of year. Even mom nature is doing same old right now. We did have some severe weather come through Sunday evening with a lot of hail reported all around me here, but nothng here. Although it did get really dark for about an hour. Very black cloud. Bit of lightening and a couple rumbles of thunder with rain. It was kind of ominious looking out there, but it gradually moved on. About a half hour or less later, a tornado warning was issued for this same storm cell as it moved east. But no funnel cloud was actually sighted. The radar had picked up some rotation within the cloud, hence the warning. Spring has arrived in Michigan.

Think today I am going to start installing those new cabinet doors in the TT. But first I am heading into town to pick up a few things at the store and to the bank. With the garage sale starting on Thursday, I won't be in town probably tlll Sunday again. I'm really hoping that we can find somebody to stay over with the neighbor and handle the money one day so I can go to CW's Good Sam Days. Not only are they having sales, but also some seminars I would like to go to. Never know what one can learn.

I've been cleaning out closets and my basement storage shelves, putting stuff in the garage sale. Getting pretty empty around here. Some of the stuff has been in boxes or tote boxes for over a couple of years or more as I think one of these days I will want to bring it out. It is actually to a pont, where I don't even remember what's down there. So out it goes. I don't have any place to put that stuff anyway. No china cabinet anymore, no wall shelving, no...... And pictures do fade after a number of years too, so am selling off the frames. Times change, things change. What was years ago is no longer now. And the more stuff I get rid of, the more free I feel. Uncluttered, unburdened. I have memories.

So, wishing all of you a wonderful day. If you are on the road, enjoy your travel, if your are out camping someplace, enjoy the day. Keep safe and healthy all.

Good Morning Sue and everyone else to follow...
Liz this picture is just for you....

Image

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

I truly can get up before or at least during dawn... My friend Bea used to sing this song... it is ever so pretty...
The storms were bad last night... Shadow does not normally get upset but he went into his kennel in the front seat and would not come out... he did come to bed after the worst had passed... this morning he upchucked so he must have been very stressed...
I will button up this morning oh yes late this morning not early... am very sore from washing Bright Hope yesterday but it will pass...
Sue you will have an empty house by the time you finish... the first stages of selling I bet...
May each of you have a great day...
(PS: I will try to post more of the many pictures I took when Sarah took me around... and yes I have two good pictures of that pole building!)

Good morning ladies...Well it is another beautiful day on the Texas gulf coast. Here at Quintana County RV Park it is very sunny, birds are singing for their hope to be mates, and folks are moving around a bit.

Karen and I will head out to Galveston Island State Park, bay side, and should be there and hooked up by mid-afternoon. We will take the Blue Highway, I think it is called that because it is right along the gulf all the across.

I am going to finish the Chocolate Macadamia Nut coffee and then go birding at the GCBO (Gulf Coast Birding Observatory) about 3/4 mile down the road. So I need to drink up and get walking.

Those of you on the road, have safe travels and those of you parked have fun.

Good morning Sue, Kathleen, Birdie & all that follow!

Sue, I hope the new doors you're putting up turn out just the way you want. Why they have the panels there without having the ability to use the space sounds so silly. One of our TT was built the same way.

Kathleen, I was singing along with Morning Has Broken. Such a pretty song. Be careful on the road.

Birdie, enjoy your day at the campground.

The sunny skies we had yesterday are gone and it is looking quite threatening out. Storms could hit our area later in the day dropping our temperatures again. It will clear later in the week but with temperatures only in the 60's.

Have a safe day everyone!

Thank you Kathleen for that beautiful sunrise picture and song. I really do have praises to sing this morning, for I just got the call that the closing on my house is today! So I've got to scoot now and go to Ocala. More later.

GOOD MORNING ALL!

Sue will be back to work soon, and free of clutter. I hope I can finish my decluttering when I get back home, as all I managed to do last year was a bedroom and the entire cellar. Actually, that was no mean chore, as that cellar was chock full of 'stuff'!!

Kath, I hope your weather will be amenable to travel today, and that you have a pleasant day northward. Keep in touch when you can, as we always look forward to the latest episode in people's travels.

Liz, CONGRATS on the house closing!!! Will have to go visit your trip when I get through shopping.

Irmi, stay safe in whatever the weather has in store for you!

Birdie is in her glory, off to hunt sightings of her favorite earth creatures!

I'm off to Lowes to get cement to patch my driveway here, some Round up or off to kill some weeds around the AC compressor, and some more gutter screen guards to keep them free of leaves and blow-down stuff.

Happy Tuesday to all!

Good morning ladies! Sounds like you all are ready, set to go with your daily chores. I'm just getting started - will take Rags for his walk and then he is off to get a badly needed groom.

Have a great day all.

Good morning!

Amy, so good to see you posting this AM! Enjoy your outing w/Mom. :D

Liz, doin' the Happy Dance (my eyes, my eyes! :shock: ) :lol:

Kathleen, I sang along with your Morning Has Broken poem and yesterday I sang the tree song, too. Both so lovely.

Kim, happy dance for you, too!! Woohoo! Counting down the days!

Sun is shining here so I'd better get off this thing and enjoy while I can as I heard we have at least 10 straight days of rain coming! When will it ever end?

Prayers for the Japanese as the nuclear plant disaster is as bad as Chernobyl now. Scary times.

Have a blessed day, ladies!!

I tried to post on here this morning and lost it, had no problems in other threads afterwards. I keep forgetting to save, senior moments???? :oops: :roll:

Hope everyone is having a good day. The sun is trying to come out this afternoon, last night was terrible, high winds, rain blowing so hard it was hitting the house sideways. I was so tired, mowed the yard and getting things ready to leave for a week, plus getting things in the r.v. , that in spite of all the racket outside and the winds and rain having fits, I said my prayers and fell right off to sleep and never woke until 7;30 which is so unusual for me lately to sleep that long. I feel great today and Maggie and I, are off on another camping week, tomorrow morning, in one of the many North Ga. Mt. CG's. . Hoping for some great walks and its a COE, so will be water and hopefully a site near it.

Hope this goes this time, as wanted to let you all know , we're off to have a good time again. No ph service on top of these mts. in parks, but they are great CG's.

I'll miss you all and I will never catch up on here, but I do hope all will stay well, or get healthy fast and most of all enjoy each day and just have fun.

Safe and Happy travels, for those on the roads,

CArol :)
