[Barbzeee]

Morning....I'm still kickin and it's Monday too ! I made it through the weekend..Lordy help us...and here it's the beginning of the hopefully end of me feeling like crapola...Didn't want to get up but had no choice cause seems that Mr Minute Man has turned a deaf ear to the announcing Zeke...mmmmmmmm didn't I say something awhile back about how awful it was to have dogs debarked.....mmmmm I might re consider...especially when it's 4am and I don't wanna budge..his bark starting off ever so faintly becomes intense..to the point of .. I'm UP ...but in not those exact words...and as I stumble through the house to let that sucker out...He is going to very soon have a talk with the Lord if he keeps this up..and now as I type I hear him (Zeke) into the trash..must be thinking gots to be some easy pickins'...This critter has a mind of his own...and as I reprimand him...he grumbles....like I have nerve...right now I don't have any left..so if I have any strength in me today...it's gonna happen..

These night sweats have been just a joy...thank goodness for the Olympics..as I've been watching them..enjoying and just thinking of how much energy those kids have..and I'm exhausted just watching...aaaah it's time for some asprins again... Seems the body lets you know...like clock work...but they seem to be helping somewhat...

Well I look on the positive side to this illness..I've got it now..so later on I won't have it... LOL Hey, I've been running great odds only 1 a year...sooooooo that's a good way to look at this..other than that I wouldn't wish this on my best enemy..!! I have favorite enemies too.. LOL... See I haven't lost my humor yet...when that goes then I'm destined to be dug in..

Ok gals..let me attempt to stroll the avenue and see what you all have been up too...

Good morning! I'm up a little later than usual,.. stayed awake reading last night. Think I'll head to the kitchen and fix a poached egg on slice of toast ... and then,.... COFFEE!

I sure hope Zeee continues to feel better, and that Echo is feeling better.

[rvgrammy1953]

Morning, all....Oh, I'm so glad you are feeling a little better, Zeee......keep doing that asprin and lots of fluids......

Taking FIL to have his eye surgery done this morning.......he's 77 and a little hard of hearing.....and loves to complain, so my day should be interesting...

Company is leaving this morning, too....

Next will be starting my "things to do" list for cleaning both campers and getting ready to hit the road on Sept. 2nd......can't wait...we're so ready

Okay, let me go read and catch up....have a great day all...

Lori

[Echo]

Ohhhhh.....blah

I'm home, feel crappy, called in, going back to bed. Yak later.

[Sunseeker]

Good morning all. I have mug in hand and will try to catch up on some of the posts this morning. My first meeting/cookout with Tommy's family went very well last night. Both son and daughter have young toddlers, one 14 months and one 13 months, so they kept us all entertained. They are about 20 miles from the cg we're in, so there are los of opportunities to see them during the week.

Barb and Echo...hope you two are on the downhill side of whatever grabbed you!

To all of you with burdened hearts and those of you with threatening weather...I'll be thinking of you today. Hang tight sisters, you're in my prayers.

Liz..I don't know why my laptop battery dies so fast. I think the aircard drains it rapidly. It helps when I remember to charge it whenever I have the generator running, if even for a few minutes.

Well, I have tons of reading to catch up on. Time to grab another cup of coffee and get moving. Have a great day, all!

[avalen]

Good morning.......
just real quick on the computer cause I'm up a little late and I have a
few extra things to do before I go off to work. Got my refrigerator
chilled down to a proper temp yesterday so its still good.
Everybody have a good day, be safe where ever you are and catch
ya'll later

[NakedPupsAndMe]

Good morning all! Zeee I'm sorry you are sick. I've been so busy lately with work & dogs I haven't posted at all. My poodle foster Peyton has been adopted! I'm so happy for him, he went to a wonderful home. But it's hard to let them go. I've been a little mopey. Finished baking my last order of treats last night to mail today so I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you all have a wonderful day. I'm going to go read some posts & try to catch up.

[Fernie]

Coffee----I need coffee!! Guess I better go make a pot cause I need more than virtual coffee. Only 3 more nights in Detroit. Got to kick butt and get my stuff done I have to do before we can leave!!! Hope you are feeling better Barbzeee!! Better go get busy!!

[retiredhappy]

Mornin' all ya'll. Glad to be home even tho the humidity is high and I'm back to sweating everytime I go outside. There's nothing dainty about me when its hot - I don't "glow" - I sweat.

The site I have here is beautiful and big - nothing like Douglas which was narrow and gravel. I didn't put out my stuff at Douglas - just never felt like "home". Later today I'll take pics of the area we're going to be in at the GTG and where the cabins are. Did go out yesterday and bought a couple of boxes of mothballs to put on the roof to, hopefully, keep the squirrels away. Don't know what I'll be doing yet or when I'll start. Craig, the volunteer coordidnator, was sick yesterday and I had told them that I needed a couple of days to rest. The laundry for the hosts is right across the street as is the dumpster. Across from me is an open field. Its so open especially compared to KOA's which always seem to be cramped and tight. Reggie, one of the other hosts, said Craig was thinking of putting me out working on the hiking trails. I told her, and she passed it on that I don't do outside in the heat. Craig told her he thought I was an "outside" person because I had been in Wyoming. When I stopped laughing, I told her I had been in an airconditioned office the entire time when it was hot and only came outside when it cooled off in the evening. I've been taking the dogs for fairly long walks since I've been here (morning and evening) when its cooler. They're feeling abused nad both need to lose some weight, as do I.

Well, off to get my 2nd cup of coffee. All you ladies have a good day and Zeee and Echo, take care of yourselves and get better.

[asirimarco]

Morning everyone - This a.m. I figured I'd better get a few things done before I got glued to the computer. So the bed is changed, laundry in and bills paid. Got up to find my husband asleep on the couch - in fact he's still there- guess I must have been sawing lots of logs for the campfire. Poor guy. I never snorred for the first 43 years we were married - don 't know what is causing it now. Hope every one gets feeling better and the storm is not real bad. And the kids all straighten up -
I need to continue getting ready for taking off the end of this week - just the little stuff cameras, chargers etc.

grrr.. this just logged me out when I went to edit the post and right when I'm having a mother of a hot flash - in fact my glasses are fogged up - grrr.

Morning gals, much cooler here in Austin and real rain is forecast. Hope you both are feeling better soon Barb and Echo. Yesterday I went for a "walking tour" in Smithville (just east on 71); 30 outstanding historical homes including the one from "Hope Floats". That must have been a happening town in the early 1900s. Now kind of quiet. I guess the people work out of town. Be safe in Florida.

[Paulette]

Good morning all. Barbzee, I'm glad you are feeling better. That Zeke needs to watch his stuff!!!

I've been watching the weather on TV and out the window and GD and I have decided that we are going to head on up the road today instead of waiting till tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a good tailwind out of this at least! I'm gonna walk up to the office and see if I can get a partial refund, as I paid to stay till Wednesday AM. If not, I need a bag of ice anyway!

You all take care.

[Getupngo]

Good morning everyone! Working here on the island is kinda like playing baseball ... it can get called on account of rain. A storm is rolling through the Northwest, and I'm at home, sitting here, typing to all of you. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all.

Have a good day!

[SeeyaGal]

Good afternoon ladies, it's raining here in Fall City...we needed it though. The past two days have been hot & muggy...unusual to have humid weather. Today is much cooler and I welcomed the change. Late last night I watched a thunderstorm, again unusual to see thunder & Lightening and no rain and very warm. Saw a Seeya motorhome like mine LEAVE at 10:00 at night!!! The were heading home to Arlington. Yep weekenders and they were going to camp as long as they could and then go home. I thought they were nuts for driving around in the dark!

Some of our friends are camped across the road from us so we went out for Chinese food last night, they are only here for 3 days.

My best friend came to visit too and we'll see her again on Wed for dinner and haul a car load of our stuff from her attic back to the motorhome. So need to rearrange things in the Seeya so the front basement campartment is totally empty and the freezer outside is empty for all our Salmon we shipped home to Nancys house and take with us back to Yuma.

Good day to catch up on the puter and watch the birds outside.

[Echo]

It was morning again for me at 1:24 this afternoon. As soon as I posted this morning I went back to bed. Gads I feel like crap. All I want to do is crawl in a hole and pull it shut after me. I would settle for going back to bed again but if I do I will never be able to sleep tonight. I've done nothing more strenuous than make a couple of peanut butter and jelly sandwichs. And that wore me out. I might not go to bed right away but I do think I will be going to bed extra early tonight...

Barz I sure do hope your doing better than I am!!!
